Hi, Im pretty new to this, but Ive used VB in the past using SQL server and the Data access controls which I really like the ease of use. That said, Im wondering if its better performance wise to use the dataset or the entity framework? Im confused
about this?
I have a small little web project where the client has a database that needs to be updated from time to time as there are queries that show up on the web. I thought about using the web for her to login and change the database, but she likes applications
to use for her data and shes used to the same. So, Im thinking Ill give her a compiled VB app that uses forms and data controls to access a SQL compact database on a server on a remote host. She can then update and do inserts, etc,. I also thought it would
be easier to do reports for her using VB vs the web and Webpages. Anyway, Im wondering with this scenario if I should use Datasets or the Entity framwork? What is the advantage of one over the other? I apologize in advance if this is not the forum to post
to? I didnt find a VB data forum.
Thanks
