Can control be bound across tiers?

[johnk]

In VB6 we do not bind our grid controls directly to a dataset but to an XArray in memory. This goes back to early DCOM days when we could not bind controls to datasets through DCOM.

Of course when we fill the grid with large numbers of rows it must transfer them all across tiers. Is there a way to bind a control to a dataset in another tier so that only the data to be visible on the screen need be transmitted across tiers?

I recomend using ADO datasets, they are object sets that can cross COM boundries. Attitude is Everything

Thanks danceman.

We do use ADO datasets exclusively. Is there anything special we need to do to bind a control to them across DCOM?
