Eric,

There was a thread that I started back in January of this year ... I was curious about the different methods of finding a row in a DataTable and how they compared, speed-wise, to each other. So, I benchmarked it and was a bit surprised at the results. Thread #865460 states the question and what I wanted to compare and Message #865501 contains the benchmark results. However, the methodology that I did *not* test was using a .Find() (if you read the thread, you'll see I didn't test it because we don't set a Primary Key in our DataSets) ... so, now I'm curious as to how that compares as well.

If I can find my old benchmark test, I'll throw in a .Find() to see what I can see ... if I can't find it, then maybe someone else can try to benchmark it?
