A DataTable is not flexible enough and probably has too much system overhead. I just need more flexibility that a collection class gives me. I could go into detail on why but it would bore you.

Maybe it is in terms to the time needed to write the code. But I feel that the resultant code with make my application run faster. I will want to keep a lot a data in immediate memory which can be simply loaded and stored back to the database. I can't see any other way to go apart from this. As I previously wrote, this is apparently what Java and ASP.NET bods are supposed to do.
