I'm storing data on all of the files we upload to our site in a database.

I'm using #ZipLib to compress some data.

I'm having a very odd problem. I have a basic C# form app that pInvokes into
a C++ dll. When I build my C++ dll and C# app in Release mode, the C# app can

I'm using oledb to insert an uploaded file to access database, for small
files it's pretty fast, but if you go to like a 10 megs file it'll take a
minute, and seems to be quite consistent all the way up to 100megs taking 10

What I want to do is launch an OpenFileDialog/SaveFileDialog so the user
can select a path/file. Once the user pushes 'OK' I'll do the work

I've made an application in VS2002 (actually an add-in for VS) which worked
on VS2002/2003. I am trying to port it to VS2005, but leave it backward
