• .NET Development Using TransactionScope to share transactions between Methods

  Hi, Before we start: This is all taking place on a single database. And I really don't want the overhead of Distributed Transactions. If I want to have lots of separate data access routines that do work on the database. Sometimes I want these routines to take part in a larger transaction. Sometimes they will just be running in their own transaction. I looked at TransactionScope and I thought this would do the trick. I now realise I w ...Show All

• Windows Forms to start two threads simultaneously

The following demonstrates the difference. void fun1(int** a) {     *a = 1; }   void fun2 ...Show All
