There is no client-side SQL engine in ado.net. I think the thing that comes closest is the jet engine (the thing that gets exercised when you move data in & out of an .mdb file). Jet has a pretty nice implementation of SQL, tho there are some annoying limitations (subqueries come to mind). I'd a

You can WMI your way there--I suppose that's still interop, but you can be well shielded from it I think. Grab the WMI add-in for vs.net & have it generate a wrapper for Win32_OperatingSystem. That'll have .Shutdown() and .Reboot() methods. HTH, -Roy -Original Message- From: Unmodera

Sounds like your UI thread is blocked while the data download, so your form is not repainting. Try alt-tabbing away from & then back to your form during a large download & see if other controls also go white. If they do, that's most likely the problem. If that is it, I think the typical cure

As far as "interacting fully w/the apps & network" are concerned, if you've got an AD-enabled network, I believe you can use a Group Policy to push out code access security policies. You should be able to push out a policy to say, grant full trust to any app signed w/a particular strong name key.

With that many rows I think you'd be much better off letting the db do the filtering. Think of the network traffic you'll save. One construct for including optional criteria in a SELECT goes like so: Select * >From my_table Where (@Param1 is null or field1 = @Param1) AND (@Param2 is null o
