How would I get a list of available OleDb providers in Dot Net code   I realise this is a low-level feature, and, if it gets too complex, then ...Show All

  I have this code in a simple test app: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // No CA2000 warning... StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter("C:\\TEST\\TEST.FILE"); } As far as I can see, it should precipitate a CA2000 warning, but it doesn't. (This is with Visual Studio 2005's built-in Code Analysis).

Compare is also a context menu option when selecting 2 changesets from the History toolwindow, when review ...Show All
