Yes, the same thoughts/experience here.
Finally ADO.NET and WithEvents should make it rather easy to implement...

I think/plan, I will return to this subject end of the next week, hopefully
with some new results to publish as public domain/open source...

Meanwhile I have to finish reading two books about XP in C#  and "MS Object
Thinking" and make some experiments in ADO.NET and a good progress in a
pending urgent project...

Any ideas about directions in which to develop this small project are very
welcome!

Thank you for your support!

Shamil
