I really dislike this MO; "go find a decent db on the netz".
Make a list of all the facts that your information-system needs to administer. Group the facts into logical groupings. Make sure every fact is atomic; if it's not, split it into multiple facts.
Iterate each group, giving it a descriptive name for the fact-collection. Now, iterate again, and find the fact (or facts) in each group that uniquely identifies a row/record/tupel/object whatever you call it. That's the fact(s) (or field(s) or column(s)) that represent the primary key.
Next, iterate all those tables/groups of facts again, and remove any fact that's not being identified by it's key.
This is called "database-design and normalization", and is a bit more work than described above.
And no, a housenumber "21a" does NOT consist of two facts, that's ONE fact. (Person has one housenumber, which happens to be a combination of two real-life things. These are, however, never used irl as separate facts, and hence, should not be modelled as different facts. Same goes for street and housenumber; if you need an address, reserve space for an address, not a street and a housenumber.

I already did, it was the link to the time-starter kit. Click the link, install, read the code. It's a full example.

This innocuous project setting saved my butt. I had a nasty gotcha that for the life of me I couldn't see what was causing it. I'd copied a chunk of code and forgot to change a variable name. It compiled fine but was spooking me with a different value to what I expected. A light bulb switched on and I set the compile warnings as error option and lo, the compiler spewed an error that the variable might not have been assigned. Corrected, recompiled, all fine.
Our main app, the product of hacks, kicks, smack-downs over the years has literally 100 and 100s of warnings. If we ever get the time, we'll address them. That got me thinking: if only it was possible to set the warnings as errors on by default and password protect the setting so it can never be changed. It won't help us at this time but by golly, it's a darned useful setting!

Well, I suppose if you use a TFS team build, you can alter the setting the project file before the build starts
|

You could send everyone a build command that contains the /warnaserror [^] tag.
This would help everyone use the same build command and making warnings appear as errors.

It is indeed useful - I always run with it enabled.
You can make it the default in new projects by creating a template with it enabled though: Just create a new project, set the option on in the Properties (and make any other changes you want, such as references) then "File...Export Template..." and save it as a Project Template will mean it is enabled by default.
Don't know any way to lock it as read-only, I'm afraid!

Thanks OG. It's one of those settings that's easy to overlook or neglect. The export template seems a very workable idea.

You should have a non-developer (a configuration manager) who performs the test and production builds. I worked at a place where the first task the testers did was build the code and kick it back if there were problems.

Just all about of my apps I've ever written copy files when needed on demand and nothing else is responsive until a file copy or move is completed. If a lot of files are involved it can take a while before you know it's done. Sometimes, I'll display the pathnames in a status bar, that kind of feedback malarkey.
Programs like 7z, possibly WinRar as well, go through the hoops of uncompressing an archive and when the files/folders are being copied you see the conventional Windows copy file dialog and progress bar. Is there a special API call or trick they they use to do this?

Yes, there are API's that will do this for you, but you could always go the easy way and use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO namespace and use one of the following methods:
FileSystem.CopyFile(source, destination, UIOption.AllDialogs);
FileSystem.CopyDirectory(source, destination, UIOption.AllDialogs);

I was thinking it might have been functions in shlwapi.dll that had similar options to display a UI for file copy, but my memory must be fading with age

It's in Shell32.dll. I'm pretty sure it's this[^] API.

yup, that'd be it - well done !!

Thanks for the heads-up on the that Pete. A while back I remember sneering at that namespace and the next moment I found it made life easier! I will investigate it once more.

You're welcome. I'm glad that I can supply some aid here.

A little while ago, I see somebody down-voted my original question which was somewhat puzzling given the relevance of what I was asking. It seems you can't please some folks.

I've upvoted in compensation. It seemed to be a fair question to me. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have given a sensible answer.

Thanks for watching my back. You can't be too careful.

The copying code is called on a background thread while the Progress Bar is being updated via the main or UI thread.
Thus, you see the effect of the progess bar incrementing while the file is being copied.
