Last week I was working on a code in which a control's property was being accessed from a thread. Obviously as it was a multithreaded application, it should throw the "Cross-thread operation not valid" error. I know that if we are accessing any method from a different thread, we need to use the delegates and events. But my concern was how I can do the same with property as there are no delegates

The data types which are directly supported by compiler are called as the primitive datatypes. These are directly mapped to the type from base class library, you don't need to call new of that data type to create a new primitive object. E.g int I = 10; Defines an integer and map int to System.Int32 Declaration of primitive types makes code more readable compared to other types. Following are

If you wants to find out that whether a particular table exist in a SQL Mobile database, here is a simple solution. Fire the following query from COmmand.ExecuteScalar. SELECT count(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_NAME = @TableName If it returns 1; it means the table exists in the database & if it returns 0 then it means the table doesn't exists.
