>No...I am contemplating the way of Visual FoxPro. Is it not right to question, for example, the binding of a Textbox? Does the Textbox desire a binding? Is binding the control limiting it's independent way? Or is it a Receptive entity and accepts that binding in it's natural transitions.

I would hasten to point out, my friend, that in order to achieve this, one must unlearn the superficial differences and see directly into the heart of the data. We must not limit ourselves to the text box, but expand our horizons to include all other controls. In short, be as one with the data. Then, and only then, can we answer the ultimate question: "When is it appropriate to use a spinner"?
