If yes, which clients will be using those classes? The static classes in there will be unique per AppDomain. You can't a static class to share resources among different applications - there's not a static class that's "global" across applications. A Windows-Service would only be usefull if there's an app that needs to run without user-supervision. It'd be comparable to writing a server-application, and yes, you could communicate with that. Is there an unmanaged resource that the Pool is protecting? What kind of connection is the user expecting? It "feels" like you're trying to limit database-connections - am I right?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, a person can have 1-N authorizations. I guess i'm still confused with 1 to many in this context. From the user record, I wanted to include the auths table to get at the auths relating to that person. In order to have a 1 to many, the 2nd table must have an additional field(s) defined as the primary key for uniqeness. But EF seems to want a matching of 1-1 of primary keys. Not sure how that's can be. Unless there's something about the mapping I completely am overlooking.

Thank you Eddy, I have a grid that supports drill-down so that's not a problem. I was just hoping to use entities instead of having to convert but from what you said, doesn't look like that's possible.

You're welcome :)

Very helpful. Thank you for the explanation. 'Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.' ~ anonymous

Get present time. Calculate period till specified time. Start a timer to "elapse" after that period. After completion of the job, start the timer again with the same logic.

May you be on the receiving end of your attitude when you need help. Thanks again. Yeah sorry, I see that you are a reasonably long-standing member of CP so you obviously don't need advice from the likes of me. It's time for a new signature.

In the connection string, try replacing Integrated Security=True with Uid=[user];Pwd=[password] My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Of course Code injection should be protected first. Javascript/SQL injection are the primary concern as Data is the most essential part of any application. Other than that use solid security software for your server. :) Abhishek Sur **Don't forget to click "Good Answer" if you like this Solution.

Thank you Dave...your privatepath gave me the right thing to lookup. If you add this to your exe config, it will look in sub folders as well as the base directory for files that you are referencing. In the example below, I want the exe to also prob sub folder controls. <configuration>    <runtime>       <asemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">          <probing privatePath="controls"/>       </assemblyBinding>    </runtime> . . . </configuration> 'Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.' ~ anonymous 'Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.' ~ anonymous

Thank you for replying Luc... So basically i would need to create a variable to indicate i'm within a click event and check that flag within the closing event and if the flag is true, then cancel the close else let it happen. i was hoping for some flag that's built into indicate if any of the form's events are "busy"... thanks again.

Turns out, the value/flag in question is the property 'CanFocus'. This property is of course 'readonly'. Does anyone know how to override this value behind the scenes(api call or whatever)? thank you Nathan 'Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.' ~ anonymous 'Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.' ~ anonymous

Thanks Dave, I figured that but was hopeful. I tried to use FindWindow api to find the title of the window i'm looking for but my pc is vista (work environment is split between vista and xp) and it returns a value regardless if it finds a window with that title or not. Is there something else more accurate I can use?
