For winforms application with multiple related forms  it is reasonable to
create Linq database context object in start of application.
Context object is released only when application exits.
So connection to database  may remain open for all application run time.

I just saw an interesting identifier in a C# book I'm reading...
double dollarsPerHead
This jumped out at me, as it is not common to put units in an identifer. We
don't see "millisecondsSinceStart" ("time"), or "milesPerHour" ("speed").

I have large 1bpp tiff scans of arch. drawings that are typically 12032x16890
pixels (filesize is about a 1 meg +/-)
While I can readily view smaller (dimension) files, when I try to do
anything after loading

I'm using codebehind in ASP.Net.
public partial class edit : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

I'm trying to get something like this to work:
Application calculates data and stores them in local SQL server.
Once a week this data needs to copied to DVD. Then I need second
application which has to take this data from DVD and send to global SQL

In a non-static method, I can obtain the Type of the class containing
that method with "this.GetType()".
In a static method, I cannot, of course.  There is no "this".
I have a method in another class that needs to be passed a Type object

I know this code is garbage but it should give you an idea of what I'm
after:
<code>
class Test

I want to have AutoSuggest based on a database (or webservice) query.  So as
the user types say... a last name I will make an async call to a service to
get matches, then set the suggestion list at runtime.
I tried this quick by handling the key down event and building a "dumb"

Hi all...
I'm developing a system for a hospital in windows forms and now comes to
me to see the deployment of the application...
First to come to my mind was clickonce, but the problem is that it does

Forgive my lack of using the right terms here but I'm hoping someone
has an answer. I'm using VS 2005 C# Express and doing the following:
Right clicking the solution name and choosing properties, going under
the Publish tab on the left and clicking the 'Publish Wizard' button.

I show my Form in dialog mode. So I have "Ok" button on it with DialogResult
= Ok. What is the right way and how can I abort form closing from the button
click event.
Thanks a lot

abit a vague question, but i'm looking for a process to search a
displayed datagrid for a value.  For example, an application displays
a datagrid..I wish to be able to type in a value into a text box and
display that row from the datasource.

Good noon! Maybe anyone of you knows how generate LINQ Classes
programmatically?
Thanks in advance!

I have written a C# program which has an activeX control (abc.ocx) in
Visual Studio 2005, and used the setup and deployment project to
create an setup.exe and setup.msi  that act as an installer.
And i found that when i install the setup in Windows XP, it is okey,

This is mostly just curiousity. I was writting a unit test to verify that I
was creating a Regex correctly. This involved
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual)
where expected and actual are both Regex objects. My code failed the test
