Ali,

Why you bother for boxing and unboxing on Net. The used OS needs processors
with speeds which are almost all above the 0.5 Ghz. Boxing and unboxing is
in that kind of computers nothing.

Boxing and unboxing can be in my opinon only still be important on the
CE-Network.

When there is a datareader involved as you write or any other IO like that,
than the reading will take that much time, that you can forget in my opinion
the time for boxing and unboxing, there are better places to win processing
speed.

Just my opinion.

Cor
