• Visual Basic Object design question

  In my situation, I've a header table and a detail table. Naturally, I create objects for each them let say Header and Detail. In Header object, I need to hold a number of Detail objects. So, I create a collection object of Detail. The collection object is inherited from BindingList(Of Detail) as I need to data bind it later on. I would like to know is that a common or good design If not, what's the better way The reason that I've this question is because I found that I need to make a search function for the Header now.

• Windows Forms Any problem with using nvarchar field as primary key for a small table?

  Hi, i'm developing a Winform Application. There is a small table (which contains no more than 1000 records anyway) that I need to use string as primary key. Given that each string is absolutely unique, is there any problem to do this I don't care about performance problem because this is just a small table and it is not used regularly. Actually, I'm thinking about if it is used in different collation of SQL server or anything relating to localization and encoding, will it cause any trouble in string comparing Is it enough to define this field as nvarchar so that unicode will not cause any problem I am not particularly familiar w ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 2.0 Framework overriding .NET 1.1 Framework for apps written for .NET 1.1

  Hello It appears when the CLR is loaded it always loads the latest version of the framework, since it makes it so hard for me to debug COM+ applications written in .NET 1.1 with 2.0 installed side-by-side. How can I have it run the 1.1 CLR instead of the 2.0 CLR. Is this even possible Will I be force to uninstall the .NET 2.0 Framework The application is not in a position at this time to be rework to fit the .NET 2.0 Framework. Thanks for your help... You'll need to use the .exe.config to force the entry point of the application to use the v1.1 runtime.  So if your Delphi app is delphi.exe, you'd want t ...Show All
