• .NET Development What happens underneath the BulkCopy Object of ADO.NET 2.0

  Hi , Does someknow how does new Bulkcopy work in ADO.NET 2.0 What happens underneath because of which the performance gets better with BulkCopy Regards, Anjana There are a number of reasons why bulk-copy is faster. Here is a summary: No per-row statement execution. When you do multiple inserts without bulk-copy, each insert is a statement in itself (regardless of whether it's batched together with other statements). With bulk-copy, we don't incur the cost of executing a statement for each row, the whole copy operation is a single thing. No multiple network round-trips. Once the bulk-insert operation is setup, w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Catching multiple buttons in one function

  I'm creating a windows form application with an awfull lot of buttons. 81 to be precise. I have set an event on all these buttons to one function: changeButtonToTextbox(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) This works fine, but the program needs to know which button really is clicked. I can do this with a simple if(sender == button1). But I don't feel like making a switch statement with 81 possibilities. It wouldn't be efficient too. Suppose I want to change one property of a button; visibility. How would I do this How can I determine which button is clicked and respond on that by making the button invisible TiA, MaximusBrood ...Show All
