Hello. Im developing an application in VisualBasic.NET. I use Linq and a database in MS SQL Server 2008. My problem is that although i am not interested in a scenary of distributed transactions, when i try to delete a record i receive an exception with the message "MSDTC on server 'Server' is unavailable". I do not need and i do not want the MSDTC started on my machine. Why SQL server try to use this server to execute my query? How can i avoid it? Thanks
