object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Sometimes I am just being stupid. After porting an old code base from using a really old version of nhibernate that was hooked up to an access database (yes that is right an access database) and integrated windsor nhibernate integration that gave me a session per request a started to have this issue.

Firstly I looked at the mapping and then and the way I was saving the transient object - all fine so I finally looked at how the repository was actually doing the saving and guess whst - the legacy code was Flushing straight after saving - a ha! The answer to my problem - remove the Flush() and thats it - let the windsor integration call flush for me right at the end!

So to sum up - when you have this problem, make sure you save the transient object first but do not flush then save the object….

Mapping caps lock to ctrl - windows XP

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Why even have a Caps Lock key - I hate it! Also to save my wrists I want to map it to the control key (rather than swap caps lock for control). It is an easy thing to do - just create a text file and paste this into it:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
“Scancode Map”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

Rename the file ‘caps-as-ctrl.reg’ and then run it. You may need to restart to have caps lock mapped to ctrl.

Joy…..
