• .NET Development Strange behavior of TransactionScope in some special cases

  Hi, Recently I’ve encountered a case when TransactionScope behaves in a way that I can’t understand. See code fragment below: public static void TestNotCompletedNestedScope() { using ( TransactionScope ts1 = new TransactionScope ()) { using ( SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection (connectionString)) { cnn.Open(); RunSomeSqlCommand(cnn); using ( TransactionScope ts2 = new TransactionScope ()) { RunSomeSqlCommand(cnn); //ts2.Complete(); } RunSomeSqlCommand(cnn); } //ts1.Complete(); } } public static void RunSomeSqlCommand( SqlConnection cnn) ...Show All

• SQL Server Stocked Procedu what is the group of the user currently executing the stocked procedure

  Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to know, from within a stocked procedure, which user is executing it, and if he belongs to a given group. Details: I'm writing a web application which is going to show document links to users. What links you see depends on what groups you belong to. Each document will have a group for read access, and another group for write access. My goal is to show only those documents you can read, and allow you to modify those you can write. Is there a function which tells if the current user belongs to a given group (for instance a group called "read_accounting_reports". The name of the group is going to be stocked on a field, in the same row as the document. I guess I could just lo ...Show All

Once you get there, I think you'll find that what you're looking for in this thread is something that is al ...Show All
