• Visual Studio Team System So what happens when Orcas comes out?

  Will the people buying TFS and TS right now need to pay for an upgrade I would bet on it. Microsoft is shelling out the bucks to build it, so I would assume they would want to have a return on that investment. ...Show All

• .NET Development Full Trust vs Partial trust in the GAC

  Why does a .net dll in the GAC still concidered a partial trust application. I put it in the gac using the gacutil and gave it -addfulltrust - recieved no errors and it runs fine on my computer but I try using it from another client computer and I get partial trust errors. Why is this Is it in the GAC on the machine on which you are trying to run it If so, you're actually running a local copy, and it should receive a full trust grant. If not, you're simply executing an assembly over the network, and it will receive a partial permission grant regardless of whether that assembly happens to be in ...Show All

• SQL Server T-SQL Catch-all error handling?

  Hi, Is there some equivalent in T-SQL to the notion of having a global try...catch. Basically, I have a stored procedure which evaluates a stack and then inserts the calculated value into another table. However if there are invalid values on the stack such that a calculation cannot be achieved, I just want it to insert null. (In this version). To do this I need to design some logic into the stack evaluating sp that simply catches e.g. invalid data conversions and the like and simply returns a <null>. Thanks in advance for any help with this. Please take a look at the links below: http://www.so ...Show All
