This looks like a he/she said type of topic.

What types of scenarios have you experienced when dealing with ADO.NET and data manipulation.

In my experience I have used it successfully for data manipulation of decent sized recordsets (around 40,000 rows we'll say). Plus in the case where I have larger datasets lets say 1GB or more of data I find using SQLReaders efficient for dealing with large datasets as well.

Wanna come up with some scenarios to discuss ?
