Using Delphi data-aware components - pros and cons [closed]

Answer 1

Data aware controls are great, but you have to make sure you get your business code in a separate layer.

That is not difficult, but you need to be aware on how you can do that.

One approach is to have your DataSet components in a DataModule (or other non visual container).

Another handy trick is to use a TClientDataSet to do the UI entry, and use that as an intermediate buffer between the UI and the business layer. The business layer then uses TDataSet components specific to your data layer.
