Woddie,

I see and have read c# being used for WPF; I'm not sold on it being a complete solution yet, perhaps seeing Adobe's new development tool, Microsoft will work harder. I really hate being dragged along by Microsoft in their battle for being the biggest; these language/library wars are very expensive; Microsoft now says all future development is to be done in WPF! I don't have 8,000 Indian programmers working for me, like Microsoft does; my company pays American wages! (Nothing against Indians.)

I've been reading about Linq and I'm not yet seeing it as necessary for my coding style, I've been getting along so far without it; sure that may change.

Be well.

>>>>>>>>the code behind for WPF forms is good ole' VB/C#. Any data access you can do there applies. have you given LINQ a try?
