Question

I was really drawn in and fascinated by the DataRelation object for use in an ADO.NET DataSet to cache data from my database in an ASP.NET web application. Unfortunately, I realized quite late, that I really have three DataTables.

• Users with a PK of UserID
• Groups with a PK of GroupID
• UsersInGroups a linking table with UserID and GroupID columns

Is it possible to load these three tables into a DataSet, add DataRelations, and then retrieve:

• All Groups
• All Users
• All Groups that contain a certain user (by UserID)
• All Users in a specific group (by GroupID)
