>Yes, you can pass datasets around as they are objects. You can now also serialize them in a binary format when passing across application boundaries (provided both sides are running .NET apps).
That is cool, and something I'm missing in VFP. I can of course translate it into XML, but it is too slow. Another alternative is using arrays, but memofields are not supported then.
Yes, this was one of many new features added to ADO.NET 2.0. Serializing a DS as a binary file reduces the size by about a factor of 6.
