• .NET Development AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId Depreciated

  Whilst migrating a 2003 application to 2005, I get the warning that the method AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadID has been depreciated and I should use the ManagedThreadID property on Thread. When I try replacing the method to comply, my code stops working.   Here is  the code snippit.    IntPtr handle = Win32.GetThreadDesktop(AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId());    Works ok    IntPtr handle = Win32.GetThreadDesktop (Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); The above code compiles but does not work Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

• .NET Development Concurrency Violation When Updating MS Access Db

  I am working on a VB .Net 2005 application with a MS Access database backend. I am able to add a new row to a datatable via a DataGridView control. After invoking the Update method on the TableAdapter, I have verified the new row is written to the Access database with the values I've entered. This problem is I get a concurrency violation error when attempting to save (update) a subsequent edit of the newly added row. I am the only person making edits to this database. This row does contain an autonumber field. Making the TableAdapter.Fill call again to refresh the datatable after initially adding the row corrects the problem, but seems inef ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Plans for dynamic cached lookup of DLinq Table classes?

  The video example includes a code generation tool that "may" become part of a future Visual Studio to generate classes to represent SQL Tables for DLinq. Someone has already posted a Code Smith template to do something similar. I'm interested in a run time capability that can reference tables by name and generate matching DLinq Table classes at runtime.  I work with systems that have tables whose information is often extended (so the Meta data is not very stable) but my queries are static (the Tables/Columns names don't change).  The ability to generate the table class for DLinq could use the Light Weight Runtime Compilation ...Show All
