_Maxxx_ wrote: using any ORM is more trouble than it is worth
My thoughts exactly. ORMs are designed to solve just a small easy subset of problems, but many developers think they should be used whenever you access a database. The programs I write have absolutely no use for an ORM at all.
_Maxxx_ wrote: a list of country names with their IDs
Exactly; there is no need to define (manually or automatically) a specific class to hold that information, a DataTable does just fine.
ORMs are the realm of Architecture Astronauts:

Maybe to the ones that are thick...

Congratulations !
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Does that mean I need to call you by a title?

Well, I already have an academic title[^] and you've never called me by that either... But now is a good time to start!

Somehow I have the feeling that there's more bang in the drs. than in the MCP.
But until you update your signature to implement the MCP and drs. interfaces I'll keep calling you Naerling Sander.

Congratulations.
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Damn you have the perfect signature - CBadger

Spammers all over the world must be busy stuffing their gut today. More than 80% of my daily emails are spam. That ratio has dropped to nearly zero today!

Hadn't really noticed it until you said something, I haven't got near the disposable email today either.
Of course now that you've said something the flood gates will open?

Heh. Very likely will.

...and we have have to hunt you down and call Ravi.Dispose("Horribly") as a punishment.

Sadly, I'm already 'orribly disposed as we speak. 'Tis a pleasant -8C in the neighborhood and workplace heating/cooling systems being what they are, my cube is freezing while the other half the floor is toasty warm. The irony is, I rarely feel cold.
