What do you recomend to do this? I have all my Data in a DataTable and I can't change this because it is not my project and it is working in production, I just need tkae the data from the DataTable and fill my UltraDataSource to use in another thing.

Thanks.

Well, I was looking at the Samples and saw the 'one million records' example using the UltraDataSource. Although we generally do not load that much data, in one of the applications I have written with Infragistics controls, a manager may want to have that much 'breadth' to analyze against or quickly filter through. I am able to get up to around 700,000 using datatables and standard binding and 'imagined' the WinDataSource as an athletic, low body fat version of the MS options. Upon looking a little closer now, am I to understand that it is only recommended for 'read only' grid presentation? Is the trick to its lower memory consumption just the pre-allocation of Record Count? My application allows editing but not record Adding or Deleting, couldn't it work for such an 'editable' grid?

Thanks,

Mitch

I am using a variant of this  - I couldn't quite get the grid to look how I wanted it to, based on the original data source, so I create a temp UltraDataSource with the layout I want, and fill it during initialization. Yes, it's tedious, but fortunately in my case anyway the size of the data is fairly small.

My question is - after a bunch of manipulation to the temp datasource, and I need to store all the data back to the original - is there a simple/single "dirty" flag in the UltraDataSource that I can check to see if all that work is really necessary?

(Apologies to the OP for potentially derailing the thread...)
