Hi
I didn't want to be "superlative", maybe looked this way because my weak English ;-) Being a lazy typer, I often end to encapsulate some functionality in a class that can be reused in many cases so I understand that the same can be done in .NET to emulate a SQL UNION between datasets, or a SET KEY or whatever.
Given the fact that I don't know too much .NET, when Rick Strahl say that "data binding in .NET sucks", what can I think? Or when I see a lot of threads about very simple things that need a lot of coding and workarounds to be solved.
But I cannot argue with one that knows both tools, isn't it ?
I want to learn new things, I like Python too, with its open architecture, but, when I'll heave some more time.
Have a nice day.
