>I never used data source classes because I don't like to bind controls and these classes are there for binding!

Very interesting. I just started an app where the data is from an Access database and delimited ASCII text files. I thought that using Data Source Classes to access the text files and then binding them to controls on a form was a good way for the user to display and navigate the data.

Is this a personal preference or are you suggesting that we stay away from data binding where possible?
