Hi,

If anybody needs to show some data retrieved from the database table, what
method is more preferrable?

1. DataSet ds = ...;
    DataGrid.Data.Source.ds;
    DataGrid.Bind();

2. Write a custom object, fill it with the DataSet data and ÅÒÕÔ try to bind
the DataGrid or DataTable and this custom object?

I usually don't allow users to change anything irectly in the DataGrid, but
I allow to select a row and then show a set of TextBoxes, DropDown lists
etc. to correct/enter data. Is it a good approach or it's better to allow
userworking with the DataGrid directly and then Update this DataSet or
whatever?

Thanks,
Dmitri
