• Smart Device Development password field which show password for a few second first

  I would like to ask if there is any password edit field work like Nokia's symbian password field, which will show the character for several second before switch to "*". Or if there is anyway I can do this kind of edit control thanks a lot. You can use the edit control and set the 'password' property to true, but in this case whatever character typed will be show as '*'. In order to show the character for several seconds before switching to '*' you have to start a thread which will count clock ticks and upon expiry change to '*'. Well thats one way of doing it. I dunno if there is any shorter ...Show All

• SQL Server Duplicate Dimension Members

  Hi everyone, In AS 2000, some of the dimensions I was using had both the key & the name of the dimension as the same text field (dimTable.name).  This grouped duplicate dimension members together.  Browsing the dimension only showed unique members. In SSAS, my understanding is you need a key attribute that links to the fact table, or another reference dimension.  Since the dimension I was using had an intermediate key on another dimension table, I created a key in the dimension, and used a reference dimension to link indirectly to the fact table to another dimension. Now I'm getting duplicate dimension members, si ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging in VC++ 2005 Express Very Slow! help!

  when debugging a function which contains as a parameter a 3D Vector of vector<vector<vector<pair<int, Widget*> > > >, size is 12 by 20 by 20, the debugger is extremely slow, taking 4 to 5 seconds for each and every F10(step over) command.  Also, it is agonizingly slow for Run to Cursor as well as any addition to the Watch Windows. I'm guessing this is because of the new Variable display feature and the DataTip thing, they are great, however, is it really necessary for the debugger to Parse the 3D vector every single line also is there a way so to disab ...Show All
