ServiceConfig Class... check it!

sdemiliani@cine-world.net — Thu, 22 Jan 2004 03:33:00 GMT

This class is sometimes neglected (i'm one of this) but, with it, is possible to do some nice things.

For example, if you would like to set the timeout of a transaction (deprecated), the ServiceConfig class can be used as follow:

if (ContextUtil.IsInTransaction)

{

ServiceConfig config = new ServiceConfig();

config.TransactionTimeout += 1000;

ServiceDomain.Enter(config);

}

Nice :)

sdemiliani@cine-world.net — Thu, 22 Jan 2004 03:12:00 GMT

I'm really happy to start my Official Professional Blog here... and expecially to start it at my birthday (yes, today is my birthday!!!!) ...

A little presentation about me? I'm an Italian Computer Engineer and i'm working for a software house in Turin called SHIFT s.r.l. My first activity is about the .NET world, and i'm focused about Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET.

I have a personal site (http://www.demiliani.it) and a "free time" blog (http://www.demiliani.it/blog), but from today this blog on WWWCODER will become my first point of tecnical contact.

I hope that this Blog could be an important way to share opinions and knowledges with other communities and developers like me...
