      • I was able to discover that if we use TransactionScope with a particular IsolationLevel (ReadCommitted, for example), all the child scopes need to use the same IsolationLevel, or else an ArgumentException will be thrown. Now the issue that keeps boggling me is what will happen if someone else (another developer on my team) writes a TSQL procedure with a different IsolationLevel, and this SPROC wil

On some machines running Vista, there's no error that I can find but the application claims the control is not registered on the machine. The other odd thing is that the machines where the failure occurs are all virtual machines (so far, anyway, but I have a hard time believing that makes any difference).
