Why I Don't Use DataSets in My ASP.NET Applications

Author: Scott Mitchell

A couple weeks ago (April 19th) I gave a talk to the local San Diego ASP.NET SIG and during my talk I mentioned how I, personally, rarely, if ever, use DataSets in my ASP.NET applications, sticking with the good ol' DataReader instead. Since then I have received a number of emails from attendees asking me why I don't use DataSets. Rather than responding to each questioner individually, I decided to write this article explaining my rationale. Read on to learn why I am a DataReader man all the way.
