SQLDataCommand or not 2

[bigfoot]

I've been reading and learning a ton of stuff on this ASP.NET world. I understand the page life cycle and how classes work in the web world. ViewState rocks but don't overuse it. Sessions do too.

I wanted an opinion on this please.

Microsoft hypes the SqlDataControl and the DataView a lot but is it used in the professional world as much as we think?

I started out using it and it works out of the box for simple projects but is it worth learning another method?

When I was doing VB applications (non web) I used to read the database to the screen then read the screen and wrote it back to the database with code.
Is this used in the web world?

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for this discussion!!!

I am a regular here and I am always looking for the better way of doing things. Trying to find information of best practices is hard, even using Microsoft's information. looks like I have a lot to read this weekend too!

Thanks

Yes, I was being quiet and gathering links.
Looks neat.

As for my "tiny" project, I'm finding the quick and easy method of using a FormView is not so quick and easy.
Lining up controls using an html table is nuts. I wish I could use absolute.

Needed this done asap and it's almost a throw together project.
