  I have an array that is filled with strings, about 250 to be approximate. Now this is tons of typing as you might think. I already have all the strings in a text file, one string per line.

• Alex cai Newbie:-Pros and Cons?

  Hi,    Given a classic n-tier architecture, I've seen a couple of ways to utilize the data tier and was wondering what the pros and cons of each approach were. One approach has a data tier object referenced/instantiated in the business tier and then its methods and properties are used, whereas in the other approach the data tier was inherited by the business tier.
