    Databinding

    In VB6, bad, but what about in .Net -

    should I be looking to bind the GUI and the database wherever possible?
    or
    should I just be running it off hardcoded queries?
    or
    does it not really make a monkey's if we're just talking about a single user on a local database?

    If we are talking about a single user, with a local database, on one individual machine, then my vote would be whatever is easiest.

    How important is security?

    Databinding in .NET isn't the evil spawn of heck that it was in VB6... in fact it's better than ever. You can bind to just about any kind of object, including custom classes.

    One of the things that made databinding so wrong in VB6 was the use of the DataControl, and it's inability to deal with certain situations.

    A lot of the issues from binding in VB6 are now gone, and so much easier.
