Visual FoxPro SELECT - SQL executed partically
I have 11,000 directories in my machine on one partition only (C:). In order to expedite search for file I need (I found MS search engine too slow) I scan all directories once in 10 days and create a table with directory shorthands and a field where extensions of the files located there are stored. Some directories have too many various types of files and I use a memo field to store extensions for them.

Hello, I have a Windows Forms application. When the app first runs (Form_Load) I create some disposable objects that will be used throughout the lifetime of the applicaiton (eg. a GDI Brush, SqlConnection etc).
