• Visual C# Object = Object - sets a reference?

  Hi, I understand that if you do object1 = object2; in c# that sets object1 to reference object2, so in essence they are one and the same.

This works fine. However, I'd ...Show All

The problem started after I did the following: 1) I dropped and recreated the publication to allow for some changes to the database schema. These caused problems so I dropped the subscription an ...Show All
