So why do you disagree with Rick Strahl on this analysis on .NETs winforms ? He is awarded as C# MVP, so it would be fair to regard him as a .NET expert ?

Facts:

1. You're not an expert
2. Rick Strahl is an expert. You admited his opinion has much value.
3. You say nothing is wrong when handling data in .NETs winform
4. Rick strahl says much is wrong.

Conclusion ??

YOU DON'T HAVE THE FAINTEST CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND ONLY ARE BSing US.
