• SQL Server URGENT: Insert and Update in a transaction is getting blocked

  Hello, I have the following situation: -Package A begins a transaction (TransactionOption="Required") with IsolationLevel=Serializable -PackageA calls PackageB -PackageB has 2 data-flows. The first one inserts into TableA. The second one updates TableA. They run serially. They both have TransactionOption="Supported". The update is blocked in SQL Server by SPID=-2   (which I know is MSDTC). I tried setting RetainSameConnection=TRUE on the connection manager in PackageB. It failed with: "Incompatible transaction context was specified for a retained connection. This connection has been established under a different tran ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DependencyProperties backed by another properties?

  Hi, I'm thinking about wrapping some legacy components as WF activities. Let's assume that I have a bunch of classes, each having a Run() method and a couple of properties. The usage pattern is very simple: set the properties and (assuming that IsConfigurationValid() returns true) call Run() which will do some operation: abstract class Worker { public virtual void Run(); public virtual bool IsConfigurationValid(); } class TestWorker : Worker { public string Message { get {...} set {...} } // other properties follow... public override void Run() {} // .... do something public override bool IsConfigurationValid() {} } So, af ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drag & drop a database connection in VS2005

• SQL Server trigger issues

  I am running a trigger on a table (cusomfields) that is to fire when the table is updated or inserted. The trigger takes the new data and moves it to another table called search_products. Search products is made up of 5 columns (product_id, search_terms, name, vendor and keywords). The search_terms column is a combo of the name, vendor and keywords columns. When the trigger fires, the column in the customfields table that updates the keywords table in the search_terms field works. But the problem I am having is that the search_terms column is not being populated with that keyword value. Here is the trigger below, you can see what I am talk ...Show All

• .NET Development delegates and event (=? +=?)

  Hi, sorry but one more question. i saw an articles in http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/03/28/100444.aspx public class Class2 { public delegate void DomSomethingDelegate ( int num1 , int num2 ); public event DomSomethingDelegate MyDeleageteCallback ; }   Class1 c = new Class1 (); c . MyDeleageteCallback = new; Class1 . DomSomethingDelegate ( this . Calculate ); the author said: In essence, declaring the event keyword prevents any of the delegate’s users from setting it to null. which that mean of this portion of code will generate a compile error. But after i test it on my visual studio .net 200 ...Show All

• .NET Development Garbage Collector encounters access violation and calls ExitProcess

  I have an application written in a combination of C#, C, and C++. The main application is a C# Windows Forms application. It calls into C DLL routines that in turn may call into C++ code. This application is using .NET 1.1. When running, occasionally the application suddenly exits. When running under a debugger, I've captured that an access violation occurred within the garbage collector and then the garbage collector called ExitProcess causing the sudden exiting. During the access violation, the stack is: 00 0012ef64 7923b74a 05560531 00147294 00000000 mscorwks!gc_heap::mark_object_simple+0x75 (FPO: [Non-Fpo]) 01 0012efe0 79238072 ...Show All
