• SQL Server Optimizations for machine dedicated to processing

  Hello, We have a machine entirely dedicated to processing SSAS 2005 cubes, and then other machines sync from it and provide client access. I notice that sometimes during processing, the processor usage hovers at about 15% and there is no paging or disk activity, which makes me wonder if SSAS is somehow limiting resources used for processing. Are there any optimizations that can be made to tell SSAS to assume that it doesn't have to serve c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installation Error

  I'm having trouble installing vcssetup.exe. It stops loading after it extracts the installation files and opens the "Setup is loading installation components. This may take a minute or two." screen. There are about 4 bars left to load and it stops. How can I get it to carry on If that will not help check if you have SQL express installed and if you do uninstall it before running VS setup. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Newbie in WebTesting using 2005, How to do this ??

  Hello, It's my first time around, I usually hang in [http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/] but this one here is a lot better I think. Well, I have a web site, few months ago we needed some metrics of the performance so I took my stop-watch and looked at how many seconds it takes to do some of the main scenarios in my web site. Now, my boss had me install the beta version of VS2005 and asked me to do same with it. I think VS2005 is r ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access to the path xxx is denied

  While running the app in debug mode, had no problem deleting a text file. I did a deploy on CD and installed the app on the same computer. This was my first deployment for Net 2005 and I wanted to see how things worked at the "destination" computer. When running the deployed EXE program, I got the message "Access to the path (path) is denied". Then when running the program in debug mode, I start getting the same mes ...Show All

• SQL Server User-Defined Datatypes based on abstract classes

  I am trying to create a set of spatial datatypes for SQL Server 2005. Each datatype inherit from the abstract class "Geometry". ie.   public class Point : Geometry   public class Line : Geometry   public class Polygon : Geometry ...and several more. The reason for using the abstract class Geometry, is that they all share a common set of functions that return a Geometry object. For instance   Geometry Intersection(Geometry g1, ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Primary Index/ascending order

  Hi there, It is nice to be back. This is my question for today. I am using CREATE TABLE command. It seems I can define a field as having PRIMARY KEY quality which is the same, in essence, as to say that I am assigning an 'INDEX ON' the field with some additional quality of this index being primary . The way I see it there is a great deal of confusion as to what primary means. Perhaps it is only confusion in my head, so please hel ...Show All

• Visual Basic No message box

  Hi, I just installed VS2005 and I'm trying to adapt to VB2005 from VB6, which I mainly use in a lab setting for the analysis of neural data. I decided to start simple and just familiarize myself with the file I/O as well as the new visual layout, projects, forms, and modules, so I tried to open a file and display the contents in a message box (code adapted from a help file--below as Code 1). But no message box appeared. And no errors. So I tr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding items to a ComboBox programatically

  Adding items to a ComboBox in the constructor after the call to InitializeComponents throws an exception. Placing the Items.Add(...) statements in another event handler (e.g. for a button blick) it works perfectly. Why is that, but even more important: which would be the appropriate event to fill controls Thanks, Neno You shouldn't interact with any controls that are loaded via InitializeComponent until the Window::OnLoaded even ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debug with external program extremely slow in VS2005

  Running in debug mode via an external program is incredibly slow. This is true wether I use the debug property "Start External Program" or try to attatch to a running process. Using a bare-bones basic test dll designed to be loaded and run by NUnit I find that "Run without debugging" (or running the program from outside VS2005) runs in seconds, whereas "Start debugging" takes 5-6 minutes. And thats not even to get s ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLINQ vs. NHIBERNATE

  We are right now in the process of evaluating an ORM tool for our enterprise application. I initially suggested DLINQ, but people were also interested in NHIBERNATE (a port of the popular HIBERNATE ORM tool in the Java World). I downloaded NHIBERNATE and am in the process of evaluating it. I see that it has a lot of features, but unfortunately there is no in-depth documentation or books on the same. I would like to know the roadmap of DLIN ...Show All
