Index Tuning Wizard problem: " 'An error occurred trying to execute a SQL statement.'"

Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to identify the problem -
it seems the ITW has a problem working with tables that have

OOP in .NET: the How and Why

OOP in .NET: the How and Why: "when they are not appropriate. The fact is that there are few if any situations where you could not use OOP to good advantage.

It does take a bit of time to adjust to the OOP mindset so that you start thinking in terms of classes and objects as soon as you start planning a program. As you plan, think of the program's functionality in terms of both data storage and actions, and you'll start to see some of the data units and tasks that are naturals for encapsulation in a class.
