Dorin,

That's fine, I understand not having much time.

But what I don't understand is superlative comparisons about one tool versus another, when you haven't gone through all the paces of working with it.

In many instances, yes, one has to write some additional code in ADO.NET to do the same things that can be done in VFP with 1-2 lines. Toward that end, some have written a small library/toolkit of functions in C#/ADO.NET to handle common data-handling/data 'munging' tasks.

To me, that doesn't translate into 'superior'.
