Hi, i hope this can help you. Sorry the link is only in german. http://www.dotnetframework.de/lserver/CodeSampleDetails.aspx?c=2883 With this sample you get the connected session and opened files. Cheers Bounty

No probs :)

That's basically correct, with one correction. In order to avoid that last problem you mentioned, I run an entire form or parent container through an algorithm that specifies certain exceptions (Lock all controls except A, B, and C). The algorithm takes the entire tree or subtree of controls, and inserts those locked panels wherever needed such that they cover all controls except the ones listed as exceptions. So if control X has children A, B, and C, and we don't want to lock up B, it would leave X alone and lock up A and C separately. This of course assumes that container controls don't themselves need to be locked, so it's not quite foolproof.

You can't do it that way, with Process.Start(" ~ DOS NET START/STOP ~ "); You have to do it like this (assuming SQL Server is running on the same computer as your program): string localComputer = Environment.MachineName.ToString(); // Stop MSSQLSERVER ServiceController controller = new ServiceController(); controller.MachineName = localComputer; controller.ServiceName = "MSSQLSERVER"; string status = controller.Status.ToString(); if (status == "Running") { // Stop the service controller.Stop(); Console.WriteLine("MSSQLSERVER has been stopped."); } // Start MSSQLSERVER controller.MachineName = localComputer; controller.ServiceName = "MSSQLSERVER"; status = controller.Status.ToString(); if (status == "Stopped") { // Stop the service controller.Start(); Console.WriteLine("MSSQLSERVER has been started."); } Also, make sure the service name is MSSQLSERVER in the Services console (Start -> Run -> services.msc). On named instances, this is not always the case. -Tom

I have absolutely no idea why some idiot voted your question a 1. That aside, are you executing the create commands over an ADO.Net connection, or reading the script with osql? If you are using an ADO.Net connection, try issueing a "use MYNewDatabase" command on the same connection, and then execute the stored procs on that same connection, rather than opening a new one.

The responses by Dan and Mike are absolutely correct. You also should not rely on GC.Collect, as it interferes with the natural GC collection schedule, which can actually hurt your application performance. The GC runs on its own thread and actually freezes your applications main thread while it is running. Instead of calling GC.Collect when the child form is closed, you really should be calling the Dispose method of the form. In addition to the blog mentioned, you can check http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/idisposable.asp[^] for an explanation on how to implement the Dispose pattern.
