I usually have a generic list or IQueryable type that I get from my BLL and handle the sort/filtering with linq on that b4 its returned and bind that to the control. You may very well use the objectDS. Especially if you are learning. Layers could be a bit overwhelming at first. So go a head and use things as you wish to learn. When you have a basic understanding of everything you can move the the layers

Nice work.

Sorry, I wasn't very specific was I? The database is an access 2007 one. I believe it is control based (I'm working with databases for the first time in VB.NET). It's a desktop application. Can you mix control based database stuff with code based? I've heard good things about LINQ but have never really used it.

This may or may not be useful, but the way we do things, is that we define a table with all of the roles. Then we have a table that stores the permission map. We either store the permission id's against a group or a single user. We then created an AuthenticationAttribute (ActionFilter as you appear to be using MVC) which takes a group, security role or boolean. When the action is executed, it checks to see if the user has the required...

Ugh, sorry for so many repetitive posts. But I got it working now. However, it is much simpler and not event driven. It works for my purpose but any suggestions on improving the connection process? Using a service reference: Code: pollWebsite2.ServiceReference1.Service1Client poll = new pollWebsite2.ServiceReference1.Service1Client(); pollWebsite2.ServiceReference1.Poll[] test = poll.GetPollsByEvent(eventName); foreach...
