Hi there

We're seeing the following intermittent warning logged by MSDTC:

A caller has attempted to propagate a transaction to a remote system, but MSDTC network DTC access is currently disabled on machine 'X'. Please review the MS DTC configuration settings.

However, MSDTC is disabled on machine X by design - it's a client machine, and has no business being enlisted in the transaction!

Several windows service endpoints hosting WCF services over TCP
Single SQL Server 2005 instance beneath
Linq to Sql
Remote client receives event callbacks over WCF/TCP

The issue is tricky to reproduce - usually following restart of services. We suspect a callback to the client machine is occurring within the context of a transaction.

Just wondering if anyone has seen similar issues??

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

Ran into an odd behavior today with a many to many mapping of one of my tables in LINQ to SQL.
