   Is it possible to use a DatasetController without SmartBusinessEntityAdapter?

   What my use case is I am using a DasetModel class to fetch some data from the backend. I then want to manipulate those records on the client but not save back to the backend. If my datasetmodel class is running with DatasetModelModeEnum:Connected then my SaveChanges will write back to the backend.

   Maybe there is an easier way. I simply need to find those fetched records in the dataset model class and updated them for later use on the client.

   Hi Roger, I understand what you are intending to do with the DatasetModel. But why the DatasetController in that picture?

   Ease of finding records within the TT as well as using static reference. 

    

   i have used it elsewhere with BE adapted and it worked out well. 

   maybe there is a better way. I need to fetch records from the server and then perform CRUD local without saving to DB.

   I did also try using Disconnected Mode but when you do that it will not fetch from the server and it does not appear you can change that mode after class is initialized. I was thinking initialize in connected mode, fetch and then flip to disconnected mode for my local CRUD. These CRUD changes will not be written back to the server ever.
