Well you have to logically have some sort off object construct with which to
address the data ina meaningful way - the DataSet is designed to do just
that. Sure, it carries some overhead, but worrying about the minor amount
of overhead there when you're running the CF and SQL CE, plus whatever data
you're pullings seems a bit silly. The DataSet is designed to make data
access simple. There are also things like SqlCeResultSets, and
SqlCeDataReaders for other views of the data. It really depends on how you
intend to consume the data.
