gotta love it when you research a weird error you're getting and microsoft says this.

SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET debugger to debug an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) application that contains Transact-SQL code, you may receive the following error message:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: General network error. Check your network documentation.
You may notice this behavior when you restart Microsoft SQL Server while debugging the ADO application.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

...

BY DESIGN?

ok, microsoft. you win today. :|

anyways, on a related but not so related note.. our middle tier component that handles data connections started giving us the infamous "General network error. Check your network documentation." upon an executenonquery call on a stored procedure after we applied service pack 4 on SQL Server. anyone know why oh why SP4 is doing this?

please enlighten while i sniff out the chatter on the .NET boards.
