You are making an invalid assumption. This could not possibly be done in a single round-trip to the CLR bridge. If the algorithm is designed for any sized data set, you cannot possibly convert & hold the data from a million or more records so that all the field values can be converted and sent back at once from the CLR and then copied into temp-tables. In fact the BindingSource actually only gets one field at a time. I can envision some other facility that might be written in the AVM that could handle one row at a time. But that's about it. It still sounds like you want to use the ProBindingSource and I haven't heard anything yet that makes this a viable option. Maybe you can expand on how you intend to use it.
