Hi Connected Mode:- In connected archi. you have to declare the connection explicitly by using Open(), and close the connection using Close(), and u cn execute commands using different methods like.. ExecuteNonQuery,ExecuteScalar,ExecuteReader etc.. Disconnected Mode:- In disconnected archi. you dont need to define the connections explicitly..SqlDataAdatpter itself can open and closes the connection..and u can use dataset for storing the info. temporarily and Fill method was used to execute the commands give in adapter... 1. Connected environment needs a constantly connection of user to data source while performing any operation. Dissconnected environment does not need any connection . 2. Only one operatio n can be performed at a time in connected environment while in dissconnected multiple operations can be performed. 3. DataReader is used in connected environment. DataSet is used in dissconnected environment. 4.Connected: Network traffic is high, poor in Performance DisConnection: Network traffic is low, Good in Performance 5.We get updated data in connected environment, In disconnectes environment,there is a problem of dirty read . 6. Connected: ' Join ' can be used to relate two tables Disconnected: DataRelations (a Class) can be used to relate two tables. Example of Connected and Disconnected Mode:- using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; public partial class SplitData : System.Web.UI.Page { SqlConnection sqlcon = new SqlConnection(@"Server=RAVI\SQLEXPRESS;database=test;uid=xxxx;pwd=yyyy;"); SqlCommand sqlcmd=new SqlCommand(); SqlDataReader dr; SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); //Below one for Connected Architecture - Data Reader Example protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { sqlcmd = new SqlCommand("select empname from emp", sqlcon); sqlcon.Open(); dr = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) { if (!(dr["empname"] is DBNull)) { Response.Write(dr["empname"] + " "); } } Response.Write(" "); sqlcon.Close(); //Connection is still open in above code when every time record is read } //Below one for Disconnected Architecture - DataSet Example protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { sqlcon.Open(); sqlcmd = new SqlCommand("select empname from emp", sqlcon); da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd); da.Fill(ds); sqlcon.Close(); //Now Connection is close in above code we can get each record using dataset here after no need to call Database again } } //For more detail you can refer this link:- http://www.programcall.com/3/adonet/disconnected-architecture-in-adonet.aspx

Normal 0 Hi Vineet, Connected mode gives faster performance where as disconnected get low in speed and performance. Connected mode can hold the data of single table, where as disconnected can hold multiple tables of data DataReader is connected architecture since it keeps connection open until all records are fetched. DataSet is disconnected architecture gets all records at once and closes connection and are available even after connection is closed. http://www.sitepoint.com/article/dataset-datareader/ Thanks
