David, When optimizing code then you will be looking for your best "bang for buck" and focus on slow parts of an app.
In this case, we are not optimizing but selecting which code we are about to write. If you have a choice or two pieces of code with similar effort to implement both but one is much more efficient than the other, even if the end user wont see the difference, I suggest you should still use the more efficient code. Maybe I should add a disclaimer that it's my opinion which does not represent the opinions of others :) David "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate!" -Zapp Brannigan, Futurama On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 18:23, David Kean <david.k...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Something tells me that the database query, or web service call before this > is going to trump walking the controls on the form... > > Focus on the slowest part of your program and optimize that. >
