title: Is Dataset an ORM?
body: <p>I am a little bit confused about Dataset compared to ORM (NHibernate or Spring.Net). From my understanding the ORM sits between the application layer and the database layer. It will generate the SQL commands for the application layer. Is this the same as what Dataset does? What is the difference between the Dataset and ORM? What are the advantages and disadvantages for these two methods? Hope the experts in here can explain something.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
