  I had an unfortunate situation where a downed server resulted in a significant amount of lost work (the rdl files of several reports I had been working on). I had previously uploaded them to the reporting services server and had hoped that I could recover them from there - but I can't find them anywhere.

However even the simple example below doesn't behave as I intended. However, If I uncomment line 4 then it works as expected. But this is not sufficie ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why should I care about WS-ReliableMessaging?

  I've been trying to understand exactly why I should care about reliable service calls via MSMQ. Now I understand that TCP/IP and HTTP are not 100% reliable methods for transport but would it be safe to say that when considering an intranet solution that ReliableMessaging is almost never really worth the effort I will admit to being somewhat ignorant to the drop rates of typical web service / http calls so if someone could either quickly educa ...Show All
