• Software Development for Windows Vista TIP Txn resolution (*ONLY* failed to notify)

  Hi, It appears that DTC is not fulfilling its end of the bargain when it acts as coordinator in a distributed TIP transaction. I deliberately killed my Transaction Manager after it had successfully returned a PREPARED response to the DTC. I then pulled the plug (literally) on the network connection. After bringing my TM back up, it began waiting t3$tip_unresolved_search_detent seconds between attempts to obtain the outcome of the txn from DTC. I then restored the network connection, and to my astonishment, DTC just sat there content that my loyal Resource Managers (Rdb) were enforcing the ACID properties of a true 2PC and locking all affected rows. After some many minutes of inaction, a net stop/start msdtc was able to force a com ...Show All

  This may sound really stupid, but I'm new to this stuff, so if anyone could help ... I can't get collisions on bounding boxes. I tried first with moving objects, after no sucess on that I even tried to create two boxes on top of each other and call the Intersects() method, it will still return false.

• Visual Studio Server Explorer does not show in Visual Studio 2005:(

  Please Help me Solve this:) I can't get Server Explorer to show by either going to view and clicking on Server Explorer or the keyboard short-cut.
