Interesting... Do you really need to read all file information into memory before inserting it into the database?
If not, you could implement your *collection class* as an enumerable, that is, it will actively read the file for one record/class/struct (whatever you want to call it). and there for using one and only one instance of a record/class/struct, making the discussing struct-or-class irrelevant... This approach will *kick-ass* in a performance perspective. // Ryan =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
