    Is there a way that you could create a dataset in C# and fill it with data that comes from a class & not from a database.
    Basically i have a number of variables that hold decimal values which are calculated in a controller class and are then set in an entity class using accessors. I want to create a method in the controller class so that all these decimal values can be called from the entity class and returned to the UI class for display.

    I was thinking that using datasets might be used to solve this or maybe im just cracking up. Im not a very experienced programmer!

    You can very easily. First create a typed dataset, a typed dataset has a schema which is driven from an xsd file. Then you can create an instance of that typed dataset and populate either through code, from a database or from an xml file. The VS.Net has a very nice typed dataset builder, I would start by looking at that and reading the help file.
