Hi,

I want to use global dataset for my asp.net application. how can i achive this. Curently I am assing dataset to session varible and retriving that dataset into other pages using Ctype statement. Please advise me on better way to use dataset globally.

My advice on using DataSet Globally: Don't. What are you trying to do that requires you to pass an entire dataset around?

But why not to use a global dataset in session?????,
caz i d't think there is any other way to use a global dataset except putting it in session... if u know anyother way then plz tell us.

Anytime you place something in session it consumes server resources and can degrade preformance of your application if 1)You are storing ALOT of information inside the dataset and 2) If you have multiple people accessing your site all storing their own dataset in session.
