Absolutley no offense taken. I share your feelings on this one. Sometimes I think it is a disadvantage to come from a DBMS background as we do really think about the problems differently. Even though I have spent a long time learning the intracacies of OOP and .NET's implementation of OOP, I still think that it requires a lot of effort to perform data manipulation in .NET.
