I threw in the towel after 15 years. During the 3 years of dating prior to marriage, I had felt quite lucky to have met someone who was 'assertive' and 'outspoken' on things about which others seemed complacent. Soon after marrying, I woke up to the fact that these were actually traits of a person who felt a need to be completely in control of everything and everyone. The last 10 years of the marriage were only for the kids. I agree with the person who quipped: why would I want to spend my life in an institution?

I'm modifying my original posting... If anyone knows of a good *working example* for reading, displaying and filtering as many as 20,000 XML records inside a WinForm, please direct me to said example. Please do not waste my time with bread crumbs concerning ideas and approaches. I just want a working example. Period. Thanks in advance! Mark -- modified at 22:11 Tuesday 4th September, 2007
