    First thing monday morning. I open up the code for a small utility (VB .NET 2005) that we are running that seems to hog a massive amount of resources. I open the dataset designer and decide to look at the code generated to see why it needs 144 Mb to load 79,000 names and DOBs. What do I see: ' ' This code was generated by a tool. ' Runtime Version:2.0.50727.42 Rightly so, damn designers bloating otherwise usable code, making my life miserable. I ripped it out and replaced it with 15 lines that do the job in a 100th of the time and use less memory than a goldfish with a hangover. By the way to us Aussies a tool is person of limited social graces and intelligence (some may say a moron, wanker, fool, slapper, goose ... the list goes on but it is pretty clear that the comment is dangerously accurate)

      Typed Datasets are ridiculously bloated. I recommend using LLBLGen Pro[^] instead. :)
