[thelist] VB.NET - Do RecordSets still exist?

	A set of rows would be a DataTable (or a DataRowCollection,
which is how a DataTable stores its rows).  You can do just about
anything you want with this.

	What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Hmm...  Okay.  So of course I'm wondering if it is possible, within a
set of rows (DataSets?), to move back and forth, set bookmarks, etc.
Surely Microsoft would not have made their new technology LESS useful???
