John, I'll answer your statements on SPs later, I have to leave, but I want to clear up something right away...

The man acknowledges that he has little practical experience in dotNET.
Your response? A series of demands for practical specifics, using carefully selected examples of your own.
Nice.

Assessments were made. I asked for the basis. Opinions were formed based on some specious premises.

Well, I think I have more dotNET experience than you, so I'll provide some specifics.

I can't tell if you're quoting/paraphrasing or even mocking my statements to Walter...or if you're suggesting that you have more .NET experience than I do. If it's the former, you're correct.

I could be a smartypants and lecture you about how grids with 5000 records suggest a design flaw- "no human can digest that many records and you should refine your selection."

You've completely missed the point.

I was using that as a response to something Walter has said several times: he claimed that .NET handles a few rows in a datagrid fine, but would slow down significantly if you loaded thousands of rows. Every time that came up, I pointed out that you don't manually 'load' rows into a datagrid, you bind to a datatable...

...and each time I questioned the approach of doing so and raised the issue of selection criteria. I think it's interesting that you said nothing before about a 'design flaw' when Walter presented this, and only jumped in now when I was following up on a point.

Regardless, stated another way, I think you should save your lectures for when you understand the discussion. OK???
