way) for fill my DataGrid?

The only way I know of is to use the datareader to build a datatable and
bind to it. Behind the scenes, a datareader is used to create a datatable
when you call fill so I'm not sure how much of a performance gain you are
going to see (the methods are roughly equivalent - calling da.fill vs using
a DataReader and creating your own datatable) but you'll have to write some
more code just for filling and the same will hold for updating...moreover
you'll need to come up with a mechanism to handle concurrency unless you
just want to ignore it as an issue (which I'd advise against).

HTH,

Bill
