• SQL Server Licencing -some clarification.

  Hi All, Not _strictly_ a DB engine question but could not find a better home... I have 3 boxes: A) 4 Dual core procs B) 8 Dual core procs. C) 4 Dual core Box A will have SSIS, Reporting Services and IIS. (No SQL) Box B will have only SQL. Box C will have Analysis services on. What I want to know is do I have to pay for SQL, 4 procs, for box A when it only has SSIS on it I pay for SQL, 8 procs, for box B, do I need for the other two servers Closest I could find is below, which would indicate I have to pay 3 times even though I am not using SQL in two of the cases. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/f ...Show All

• SQL Server Average on a calculated column in matrix

  Hi, i have some data i am showing in a matrix. The first row group is on month, the second row group is on year, in this way i get year on year reporting of my sales data. One of the columns i have in the matrix is a "average $ per hour". The calculation for this works nicely on each row, i just get the total sales, and divide by the number of hours in that particular month (which i calculate). So it looks like this (these figures are invented): Month Year Total sales Avg $ per hour May 2005 $123,456 $20.15 2006 $129,112 $21.56 June 2005 $100,449 $18.45 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Running Assembly-based tests with build server.

  Sorry if this is a repeat - I couldn't find anything though. We have what I thought would be a pretty common scenario - we have a couple of projects containing our automated unit tests and we want to run these as part of the build. In normal unit testing behavior, we don't want to maintain any lists of the tests, we just want to say "run the tests in this assembly". On the desktop, that's very straight foward, we just throw out a call to "mstest.exe /testcontainer:MyAssembly.dll" However, there's a big brick wall between that point and the server. First, it seems that MSTest.exe is not installed as part of eithe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installing Team Foundation Server Beta 2

  I just completed downloading Team Foundation Server Beta 2. The Installation Guide notes that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in a prerequisite and that only the April CTP is supported. However, I haven't seen an April CTP of SQL Server available on MSDN. Will it be posted shortly or am I just missing its location in the tree MadHur - the post above was for the April 2005 CTP of SQL Server 2005. TFS has RTM'd -- as far as I know, you can no longer deploy Beta2. The RC and/or December CTP may still be available (I think they both use the RTM version of SQL Server 2005). ...Show All

• Visual J# performance difference in .NET 1.0 and .NET 2.0

  I recently upgraded a sockets application from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. I found that the getByName method on the INetAddress class takes several times longer to execute under .NET 2.0 than it did in .NET 1.1. That is INetAddress.getByName("10.0.0.1") is a MUCH costlier operation under 2.0. Any suggestions on how best to go about 'recovering' the lost performance would be appreciated. Currently, I am caching the resolution, but it seens silly that a dotted IP address would take up so much time. In fact, any solution where I can convert a System.Net.IPAddress to a java.net.INetAddress trivially would be great. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to "Pop" a Windows App on Top of Other Windows Apps?

  I have a windows application that when I start it, I want to let it run and let me go off and work on another windows application such as MS Word. When my application has completed its task, I would like for it to "pop" in front of the MS Word application (or whatever app is running) so that I know that my application has completed its task and is ready for new input. How can I accomplish this Would it be easier to have my entire application "pop" to the front or simply have some dialog box come to the front Thanks for any help! Both are about the same difficulty.
