  This line gives me CA1084: OracleCommandBuilder builder = new OracleCommandBuilder (da); Dont think it is a trainsmash, thought I would just report this incase a refinement is possible.

Since I only have the /MT (multithread) compiler option for the PSDK amd64 bit compiler, I assume that my program is executed as multithread. and since one processor has to wait for re ...Show All
