Automatically mapping datatable to objects(improve.dk)

submitted by orca(820) 4 years, 5 months ago

I often need to transfer data from my business layer to my presentation layers in a strongly typed way. In this example I'll use the following very struct and corresponding DataTable to represent the data I need to transfer.

Why not just build the objects with datareaders and pass them back instead of mapping them to a datatable. Seems like extra work to me.

The DataTable is not the point of the article. The DataTable is simply used a simple means of creating my database structure - I couldn't do that using a DataReader. You could easily use a DataReader, but as mentioned, the point of this article is how to map an object to a datarow/datareader, not whether to use a DataTable or a DataReader.
