It is never fun to run into ugly code. It is more frustrating to run into code that could be so much better with just slightly more than trivial understanding of the underlying libraries. I guess this is exactly what I wrote on with respect to System.Data over a year ago. Not the downcasting part, but rather just good use of the supplied interfaces instead of always using the concrete class. [...] [...] When I run into code like this I usually get VERY frustrated.
