I don't see Linq as being amazing in any way. But I suppose there is no real reason to argue about that. As far as I'm concerned, LLBLGen is the only way to go. Nothing else is worth considering. As someone else said, it even has a Linq interface, if one was so inclined. But I suppose it also depends on what type of programmer one is, and what factors affect ones decision making. Everyone is different, but for me, there is no question. -- silky Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature.
