-- Identity primary key - unique arbitrary increment number create table person ( id int identity(1,1) primary key not null, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- GUID primary key - arbitrary unique value for table create table person ( id uniqueIdentifier default (newId()) primary key, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- natural primary key - using an existing piece of data within the table that uniquely identifies the record create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) primary key not null )

-- composite key - using two or more existing columns within a table to create a primary key create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null, primary key (firstName, lastName, dob) )

In the absence of explicit initialization, external and static variables are guaranteed to be initialized to zero; automatic variables (including register variables) have indeterminate1 (i.e., garbage) initial values. Scalar variables may be initialized when they are defined by following the name w...

The simplest way is to use the Activator class. However, even though Activator performance have been improved since .NET 3.5, using Activator.CreateInstance() is bad option sometimes, due to (relatively) low performance: Test 1, Test 2, Test 3... With Activator class Type type = typeof(BigInteg...
