Can you explain the difference between an ADO.NET Dataset and an ADO Record set? »

Valid answers are:

• A Dataset can represent an entire relational database in memory, complete with tables, relations, and views.

• A Dataset is designed to work without any continuing connection to the original data source.

• Data in a Dataset is bulk-loaded, rather than being loaded on demand.

• There’s no concept of cursor types in a Dataset.
• Datasets have no current record pointer You can use For Each loops to move through the data.
• You can store many edits in a Dataset, and write them to the original data source in a single operation.
• Though the Dataset is universal, other objects in ADO. NET come in different versions for different data sources.

What is the difference between Server. Transfer and Response. Redirect? Why would I choose one over the other? »

Server. Transfer

Transfers page processing from one page directly to the next page without making a round-trip back to the client’s browser. This provides a faster response with a little less overhead on the server. Server. Transfer does not update the clients url history list or current url.

Response. Redirect

Is used to redirect the user’s browser to another page or site. This performs a trip back to the client where the client’s browser is redirected to the new page. The user’s browser history list is updated to reflect the new address.
