>I think a lot of times you are chasing stars rather than just answering questions <g>. Frankly I was looking for someone to advice me from their personal working experience rather then feeding me lots of google searches <g>.

No really. I like sharing the ideas and knowledge and the problem challenge.

Besides, it's not just a google search - I know the sites I pointed you too, I read these blogs many times myself. They can get you started quickly, the other question if this is the best approach or not.

I was using SQLDataSource myself when working with ASP.NET, but I used Stored Procedures mostly.
