Whew! Lost several hours today trying to figure out why my machine would not let me debug my .Net application. After lots of googling I stumbled across a great resource. I will share it with you after I explain what was broken for me. Apparently debugging problems are quite common in the .Net environment.

My problem was related to my turning off session keep-alives in my IIS properties (a few days ago so I did not remember that I did it) -- I did this because XP Pro IIS 5.1 has a limitation in the number of connections it will serve and I was running out. Turning that back on fixed my debugging error problem.

Click above or more for many debugging fixes -- Thanks to Min Kwan Park.

I found a good article that summarizes the use of transaction very nicely. Quick and fast to get started. Covers using transactions on a dataset and on commands (kind of the same thing).
