To detect a deadlock I'using this code :

try
{
  // do some operation that might deadlock
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  if (ex is StorageException && ex.InnerException != null && ex.InnerException is System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException)
  {
    if (((System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException)ex.InnerException).ErrorCode == -2146232060) // deadlock
    {
       // log deadlock
       throw;
    }
  }
  // handle other exceptions
}

This is not very practical and I'm not sure it will work with another database (currently using sql server).

I've seen a ticket for this (http://code.google.com/p/dataobjectsdot ... tail?id=29) Do you plan to implement this feature?

It would be useful for us.
