I would really recommend letting SQL Server do the incremental numbering. The above approach even if you do get it working would fail under load in a multi-user scenario where they both get the same ID and try to insert the same one.
InsertProduct is declared as a partial method in the designer generated file (MyDataClasses.designer. Vb).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
