hi,
when developing an application using a vb Data-control, and bind many fields with this Data-control, i can produce a prototype rapidly within hours or a day. Vb Data-control is really suitable for rapid development.
Supposed i am referring to single-user environment....if i use vb data-control to deliver an accounting/invoicing/inven
If vb Data control will slow-down becos of the binding, then what are the alternatives ? i find that using raw codes rather then binding (the fields to the data-control) is very very time consuming.

For larger projects, its likely you will find that Data Controls and binding itself will become much more time consuming.
Recordsets and connections is the best way to go (or designers) for larger projects, they are faster and allow better resuability.
I think these are faster than binding myself, but depending on your coding speed it could be difference.

Hi Fiacre:

I agree with your point that the data control is good for rapid development.
If all you want to do is display data, with no further complications, then it should continue working OK.
My experience is that everytime I took the shortcut and used the data control I ended up regretting it.
The moment you want to do something that is out of the ordinary, you are stuck.
Essentiallly, by using the control you are giving Micro$oft control over what you want to do.
The time consuming way of solving the same without the control (with recordsets for example) in the long run turn out to be an investment that gives you returns with compound interest.
