DataSets Tutorials [closed]

Question

I'm currently in the planning phase of a project and I came across an interesting question (for me) - how the f* do DataSets work anyway?

I mean, since now I always used simple SQL-Statements written hard in the code, but that doesn't seem so sophisticated to me. So basically I want to start using DataSets but there are no tutorials out there concerning that. I mean, sure I can design them in VS, but how can I access them in my code? I searched a whole day long but couldn't find a single useful tutorial to that...

Is it because DataSets are no good or just because nobody uses them?

I would be very thankful for any information concerning that...

I think you'd be interested in the first few tutorials at Microsoft's ASP.NET Data Access Tutorial page. The tutorials there guide you through creating a simple ASP.NET site that features accessing data in the Northwind database (SQL Server 2005).

It does a decent job creating, configuring and using Typed DataSets.
