I was curious as to the curent best practices for data sharing within NET
2.0 Smart Clients.

Typically I have have isolated data/datasets, webservices interaction, file
IO, etc. using the Component class (IComponent), relying heavily on the
sharing capabilities it provides. The entire application would see this as
it single source for data interaction. They used much the same approach with
the IssueVision NET 1.1 sample application.

Is this still a "best practices" approach or have changes in NET 2.0 negated
this type of approach.

Thanks,
