How to: Configure a Server to Listen on a Specific TCP Port (SQL Server Configuration Manager)

Configuring SQL server instance to listen to a specific port as instance port can change. SQL Serer default instance listens to port 1433. However if Named Instance is configured then by default the port is changing dynamically. To enable SQL server to listen to port, ALL the IP Addresses for the instance including the Loopback and IPALL needs to be changed to the specified Port ... See Below:

How to: Configure a Server to Listen on a Specific TCP Port (SQL Server Configuration Manager): "In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter, 127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties to identify the IP address that you want to configure.

DbContext.SaveChanges - Don't AcceptChangesDuringSave

Something has to be sacrificed in every release of EF and this time it is transactions! ... some hidden way of exposing the SaveOptions while using the DBContext IObjectContextAdapter interface.


Howeve, it turns out that we don't need to use the SaveOptions anymore if dealing with SQL server 2008. In SQL server 2008 using the TransactionScope DOES NOT escalates the transaction to Distributed Transaction anymore. Wrapping up more than one DBContexts inside a TransactionScope works fine!

I had a scenario where needed to loop through all the projects and then all it tasks and getting the error in Entity framework 4.2: "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first."

The solution is to set the lazy loading off or add MARS to the connection string. Strange?
