• John Zolezzi Uh, drag and drop from server explorer?

  Maybe I missed something, and if so, I apologize... In VS 2003, you could open the server explorer, expand an existing data connection, click on a table (or view or stored proc) drag it to the design surface, and bam, you had a connection object and a data adapter. Now, nothing happens. What did I miss The connection, command, and dataadapter objects are no longer in the toolbox either. I have VS 2005 professional edition. ...Show All

    Part of the reason to switch to an asynchronous processing model with forms is to keep your UI responsive while background tasks are being processed.

This situation can be witnessed in the "Event-based Asynchronous Pattern" example "Prime Number Calculator" by starting ...Show All
