• SQL Server Can Analysis services for SQL 2005 server be configured on windows 2000 server?

  Hi, I'm unable to find any documentation that indicates whether or not SQL 2005's XMLA is supported on Windows 2000. I imagine that because it is supported on XP, per the following document: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpssas.mspx ...that it can be run from Windows 2000 with IIS 5.0 by following the same directions for configuring it. Can anyone confirm if this is an accurate assessment ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Errors with C# Express Final

  Hi gang, My ClickOnce-deployed application, which used to work fine back in the beta-2 days, is now giving everyone who tries to install it a lot of headaches. When I deployed this version (made using the final release of Visual C# Express) I deliberately put it in a different folder on my web server, so there could be no "accidental" upgrades from beta users. My users have meticulously uninstalled the beta version of my program, as well as the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is Visual Basic 2005 Express interpreted or compiled?

  I have looked through a lot of literature, but it seems difficult to find a clear answer to this question. I can see that VB generates P-code, which is interpreted and therefore executes much slower than compiled languages, but some literature indicate that it may be possible to compile the P-code and generate a fast executing program. C is a terrible language so I am looking for a good, strong alternative, but in practice it seems that th ...Show All

• Visual C# Why does the Project Properties say "When delay signed, the project will not be debuggable..."

  This is a baloney.  We register our pubkey token for verification skipping on all our dev PCs.  That allows us to run and debug partially signed assemblies.  The way this is set up now is going to encourage giving devs access to the public/private key pair.  This is not a best practice in my opinion. This dumbed down interface to strong name signing in the C# project properties window doesn't meet our ...Show All
