Hi,

I just wanted to know if you were able to solve your issue based on Mike's suggestions or you still need help? Just let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Craig,

There's really no comparison between UltraDataSource and a BindingSource. They are two completely unrelated functionalities.

The BindingSource is simply a wrapper for some other data source, like a DataSet or a BindingList<T>, which provides some extra support for data binding.A BindingSource is useless by itself.

If you are doing a comparison, you would compare UltraDataSource to other data sources like a DataSet, DataTable, or BindingList<T>.

UltraDataSource is generally a bit faster than a DataSet or DataTable, since it's relationships are defined up-front. It's useful if you want to bind a grid to a fixed set of Data that you define in code, and does not come from a database.

It also has load-on-demand functionality, so it's useful in cases where you don't want to load all of the data into memory at once.

A DataSet, on the other hand, has lots of database-related functionality. It tracks changes for you so that you can update the back end.
