It is clear to me that you underestimate the complexity of creating an array of objects, which is the sole task of this highly important class (hey, at least it is documented correctly). From Reflector: public static DataGridTableStyle[] CreateGridTables(DataGridTableStyle gridTable, object dataSource, string dataMember, BindingContext bindingManager) { return new DataGridTableStyle[] { gridTable }; } Haha, all parameters are unused except the first, which is returned as an array. This is complex science, didn't you know? Another nice feature that you should not underestimate the importance of is the fact that it is a static method. This way we will not be able to return, say, a different array using a virtual method, if you feel that this array is not array-ish enough or something. Also, the constructor is private, so it's almost like a singleton. I think they should rename the class to 'HighlyOptimizedAlmostSingletonArrayManufacturerForDataGridTableStyleObjects'
