I am using ms access, sql 2000, sql 2005, excel, csv and oracle Any solution for any of these will be a great help. I think this is a coding horror... Natza Mitzi

The application I am developing is tough to develop as it moves from R&D to production very fast and many times. The application is installed to a variety of customers and different projects. "How many different configurations are required?" (-) Many and it is evolving. Can the necessary settings be deduced from assemblies or files that accompany the application? (-) Maybe but that is not the issue here. I do not want to deduct anything Why can't you re-factor the code to self-determine its available feature set? I think that would be the *best* thing to do. (-) This is not a matter of re factoring. Thank you :) Natza Mitzi

My answer below: I reduced the occurrence of the problem by splitting some methods and using a dictionary instead of large switches that cause stack bloats. Now a simple recursive factorial method works with 400 instead of 46, that is almost 900% better Natza Mitzi
