Software Development for Windows Vista Distributed Transaction FAQ
Hi, We wish to perform distributed transactions (using ADO.net 2) across multiple DB instances. Another team's previous experience with DT has shown that in the case where the application crashes it is possible that transactions will be stuck (some blame to DTC failing to realize the application crashed). The stuck transactions had to be manually killed Is that possible Does the MSDTC not have a timeout Is it configurable What are the problems I should expect when performing a distributed transaction Almost everyone I went to ask about this told me to stay away from DT but have had too little experience to be considered "reliable'. Your advice appreciated. Cheers, Hi, I'm trying to answer all your questions: ...Show All

Visual C++ What is WMN_FIRST?
In commctrl.h at line 388 a constant is defined that confuses me. I am looking to see if there is a range where special programmer defined notification messages belong (like WM_USER except for notifications.) I did a little searching and decided that there wasn't but then I noticed WMN_FIRST and WMN_LAST. There is a padding of 50 on either side; and, they are not used, as near as I can tell, in any file that ships with Visual Studio. There is absolutely no documentation on thesem whatsoever. Does anyone have a clue what this is Is it the official range for user defined notifications or is it something else For such issues, the win32 dev newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups is the proper l ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions buttons

Visual C# Difference between 'string' and 'String'
Hi I would like to know the difference between 'string' and 'String' in CSharp 2.0. I had thought that 'string' mapped onto the Framework Type 'System.String' but I got a code compile error that I cannot explain. I am using Visual Studio 2005 (but I have also installed SP1 Beta). Consider the following two lines of code. private static String _uid1 = new String(Guid.NewGuid().ToString()); private static String _uid2 = new string(Guid.NewGuid().ToString()); The code for uid1 generates an error but not for uid2. The code for uid11 states the error is because 'System.String' does not have a constructor that takes a parameter of type 'String'. So what is happening so that uid2 does not generate an error Is there some implicit conversion ...Show All
