Why does ASP ListBox take so long to render in AJAX update panel?

I have a problem when updating the source of an ASP ListBox in an AJAX update panel. When I set the source of the ListBox to a large dataset, I would assume it would take a small amount of time to render due to the number of items.

Is there a recommended obfuscater for compiled .Net (C#) code that plugs into VS2008? If not, a stand-alone will do fine, and preferably one that can obfuscate multiple assemblies at once. I also realize the purpose of these is simply to make it more difficult to reverse-engineer the code... which is exactly what I want. Thank you. U...

System.Data.SqlClient used in System.Data?

I have had that weird error this afternoon... I cannot figure out why System.Data could rely on System.Data.SqlClient.
