I need to populate a grid from a comination of array lists (each array list is made up of business entities) that are returned from my business layer.<br />
<br />
As far as I can see I have a few choices.<br />
<br />
1. I can create a dataset with all the array lists and manually add the relations. &nbsp; OR<br />
2. I can set the data source of the grid to one of the array lists then populate the other fields as each row is loaded.<br />
<br />
My question is, does anyone from experience which is the better option, there may even be a scenario I have missed. <br />
