Over the last few months I have been very frustrated as an architect. MS seems to have a giant split between object persistance and typed datasets. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but I would love to know what direction I should be pushing my architectures, I will stay out of the religious war associated with this.
With Yukon/ObjectSpaces on the horizon I figured that going down a pure object persistance route would make the migration a bit less painful, but then I went into the new reporting tools and found out there was no support for objects, only for typed datasets. I am curious what others are doing about such things, I refuse to make my object higherarchy generate typed datasets and I refuse to have a seperate structure for reporting, I guess I am stuck using ActiveReports or another 3rd party product. It seems to me that there is a rather large disconnect in various areas of the product suite.
It seems to me that with ObjectSpaces coming forward the typed dataset concept will be short lived, why is MS pushing it so hard ?
Comments ? I'd love to hear what others are doing about this.
