Three main reasons:
1. The bindings do not reflect the true nature of a C# application.
2. By reimplementing everything there is the slight possibility that
you'd do something better than it was done in the original - if it
happens, it can be retrofitted there.
3. It is much more fun do it all...
P.S. Everything would have been much easier had the format of the
database been thoroughly explained somewhere. I had to guess and ask a
lot before I could achieve a working state of things.
