My persistent data won't have the same number of columns as my database
table. I want to add a couple of more columns. In particular I have a
DateTime column. This needs to be displayed in the DataGrid in the form of 3
columns: Day (of week), Time, Start Time.
The Start Time shows both the start day and the start time. This will be
assumed to be a regular weekly repeating event so I want users to be able to
see all events at the same time on the same day.
The second more serious problem is that there will be number of persistent
strongly typed data collections and Datasets take too much system overhead.
They slow things down too much.
I want to be able to sort some of my strongly typed data collections on
almost any column; which should be accomplished via the DataGrid interface
by clicking on the column title.
The real reason why I want to do this is because I can, or rather can't, but
I feel I should be able to. In other words until I have used both DataTables
and Strongly-typed Collections I can't really compare them.
Since my last post I've come across 2 links to Strongly-typed Collection
Class Addins and a CodeObject Addin that is supposed to automatically
generate Strongly-typed Collection Class code. If I get them to work for me
I'll post the links here.
