The viewer recreates the database when it finds a new xml file of the same name and in the same location as the previous one it imported. It doesn't do an incremental import, it recreates the whole database again. I don't think an incremental import would be too much faster, as there would still be a lot of looping around the xml file, which as I said before, is very inefficiently structured. Plus, it would be a bit of a nightmare to not miss or duplicate any channels. Well, on the face of it it would... but I'll look into it.

It would be a lot faster to process the import on the PC, but it won't be possible to update a PPC SQL CE database on a PC until the next version of .NET comes out (November/December). When it does, I'll try that too.

Thanks again for the feedback and criticism (which I don't mind if it's constructive...) ;)
