Hi Daniel, As simon says, It is not good to store the dataTable content in the session because if you have many concurrent users access the server then the application may get an OutOfMemory Error (Ask me about this I had faced this before :) ). You can simply loads your data on demand by just providing a backend like CURSOR that retrieves your data of interest. Cagatay really has written a wonderful article about this.
