SQL Server 2008 database timeout after delete

I'm running the following statement, it is working locally with SQL Server 2008, however, there is SQL Server 2008 Express on the development server, and after the sql statement runs, I am unable to do SELECT statements on the table in which I deleted the开发者_C百科 record. Both databases were created with the same table creation scripts.

"DELETE FROM [dbo].[tblMiddayMover] WITH (ROWLOCK)  WHERE [idMiddayMover] = @IdMiddayMover"

What reasons would this statement ever cause the database to hang.

After executing that statement, the following SELECT statement causes an error.

"SELECT * FROM [dbo].[tblMiddayMover] WHERE [fldActive] = 1"

I get the following error:

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I can do select statements on any other table with no issues.

I ran the command that was suggested, here is the output. alt text http://softwaredesignexcellence.com/capture.PNG

It's likely that you have created a transaction around your statement which is still open and has not been committed or rolled back.

I suggest opening another window before the second query times out and execute the procedure "sp_who2". This has a column which will definitively tell you if a query is being blocked by another query (it's called "BlkBy") which is running concurrently.

It was solved. Actually, I was using a code generator to do the stored procs and Data Layer, which created a transaction layer around all the database calls. However, the issue was that it targeted .NET 3.5 and the server was set up to use .NET 2.0. It wasn't a database issue as much as it was an incompatibly issue with the version of .NET on the server.
