I'm a struggling Delphi convert and cannot seem to figure out the benefits
of Datasets in ASP.NET.

It is my understanding that all variables are destroyed at the end of each
subroutine, so if I create a dataset then the data within the dataset is
only available during the processing of the subroutine.

Is this correct?

Is it possible to create a variable that is global to the form and maintain
the dataset there so that I don't have to return to the server every time I
select a new master record in a parent-child relationship?

TIA
