Have a look at the DataTableSurrogate class. It is used by the SyncFramework for serialization and really easy to use. MSDN DataTableSurrogate.
You shouldn't really serialize datasets, instead you should use datamodels and keep anything to do with datasets, tables, readers etc on your backend & in the business layer.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
