i would recommend u a simplest way... call the animation method asynchronously , inside which u have following code { this.AnimatedControl.start(); while(!bnFinishedFlag) { //do nothing //bnFinished flag is class level var and will be set to true when db //operation finishes } this.AnimatedControl.stop(); //end the async method call.. } hope this helps//..

how to do a google?

and subject says a lot about the problem v@!@@ SIVAJI - THE BOSS

[:(] i did the same using sql 200, it is a very very tedious process, would recomment you to re install the DB using proper collation and dump in data, and re run sp's , this is much much better approach,

you have to alter your collation settings, the default collation in sql server 2005 is latin1_general_CI_AS CI = case insensitve AS = Accent sensitive you might have to change it in to Case sensitive. do google on "SQL Server Collation" for more details. have fun. cheers

Hi Folks, can anyone suggest me which is the best book for learning design patterns? i am a intermediete developer in C# , .Net technologies, please guide me.

Depends actually, polling introduces a latency , which is equal to polling interval. event's on other hand are instantaneous, so it depends whether a latency is accepted or not.

Overloading can occur with in the same class too, for eg: //Example for overloading public int addnumbers(int a, int b) { return a+b; } public int addnumbers(int a, int b, int c) { return a+b+c; } Method Hiding can happen only when inheritance comes to picture public class Maths { public Maths() { //.Ctor } public int addnumbers(int a, int b) { return a+b; } } public class TwoMaths : Maths { public TwoMaths() { //.Ctor } // This method hides the base class's method // if you create a object for TwoMaths class, the base class's // addnumber method cannot be called unless until you explicitly //cast TwoMaths' object in to Maths object public int addnumbers(int a, int b) { return a+b; } }

a google is highly recommended

Datareader is always connected, better go for datatable to persist stuff!

hey Judah, thanks from me too! i thought aliasing we can do only for namespaces!!

Hi, in this scenario, define your entity object as a class, let Form1 have an static object of that class, in form two set the value for the static instance, then when u go back to form1 , do the data binding.. like this.. Form1 { public static CEntity objEntity; someclick() { Form2.showDialog() Datagrid.databind(objEntity) } } CEntity { Public string column1; Public string column2; } Form2 { someevent() { Form1.objEntity.column1 = textbox1.Text; Form1.objEntity.column2 = textbox2.Text; } } Cheers

Yes colin

Get a book on ADO.Net, prefereably OReilly publications

Hi, when we create a non clustered index for a table, an index is maintained in the database, but when we create the same on a view , does it get saved anywhere !! , i am also aware that views are not persisted in the DB, so i am a bit confused in this.

can u pls elaborate your question with some code snippets?
