• Windows Forms Disabling windows forms designer temporarily

  Hello every body As you know when designer code grows and becomes giant its so bothering to modify the source code and then turn back to the designer (It consumes alot of time). The question is "Is there a way to disable windows forms designer for a while " Thanks in advance .

In the Open With dialog, select CSharp Editor and choose Set as Default and then OK Now everytime you double-click a form in Solution Explorer, the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple Recursive composition

  I have watched the State Machine webcast of Pravin regarding recursive composition. I have seen that it is possible to create a shared state with an event, which could be used in multiple states. In his slides of the PO process, Pravin used an OrderChanged event, which was used by the states OrderCreated and OrderProcessed. Let's say I want to add an event called OrderCancelledEvent which I then want to share for only OrderCreated and OrderShipped States, for some obscure business reason. This is not possible using the visual designer. Visually, the OrderCreated event cannot be "overlapped" by two states. Is it possible to us ...Show All

• SQL Server ReportViewer's checked dropdown list control?

  I would like to create my own parameter area for my reports which are displayed in an ASP.NET web page with the ASP.NET 2005 ReportViewer control (i.e. I have the ShowParameterPrompts property on my Report Viewer control set to False). I would like to use the Checked Dropdown List control that allows you to check off each item individually or to check the (Select All) option for my multi-valued parameters. Is there a way I can create an instance of this checked dropdown control or is there another component out there that is similar to it Thanks!!! Brian The control is not a public control and can not be created outside of the contr ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS: Inserting unknown members from fact table

  Looking up surrogate keys in a dimension table and adding these to your data flow is easy when there is a match in your dimension table for every key in your fact table. However, I am puzzled by how to manage the data flow when no match can be found for a specific key in the fact table when doing the lookup AND I then want to insert this unknown key as an unknown/inferred member in the dimension table. The problem is further complicated by the fact that when I have inserted the unknown member in the dimension table and it has been assigned a surrogate key there, I want to add this surrogate key to my fact table - just as if there h ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AppendText doesn't scroll anymore

  When I use TextBox.AppendText in my Windows Forms app. the text is added and the TextBox is scrolled such that the last line appended is displayed. When doing so in a WPF app. the scroll never happens. Bug Feature User error NIK Well it's debatable if it should scroll automatically, so I'll leave that to a Microsoft rep to answer, but if you want to scroll, just make a call to ScrollToEnd after your call to AppendText.

• Visual C# Getting rid of excel.exe from memory

  I use excel interop to load in data from excel file. After the loading is done, I call myExcelInstance.Quit(). But in task manager I can still see an EXCEL.EXE for each file I opened, eating up a fair bit of memory. These instances don't go away until I close my application. What am I doing wrong ~S There's at least one object you aren't releasing. You are using "lSheet.Columns.Count": any time you use "two dots" (A.B.C) you are implicitly referencing the object A.B without releasing it. This should be something like: int columnCount; Excel.Range columns = lSheet.Col ...Show All

• SQL Server Share calculated members between cubes

  Other than copying and pasting the text from the script view, is there any way to share calculated members between cubes I have two cubes that have some common facts, and would like to be able to point both at the same script for calculated members, so that any changes only have to be made in one place. Thanks, Sam It is bit strange. You should be able to use perspectives to hide measures you dont need. In Analysis Services 2005 you should try and consolidate your cubes into the single one, it simplifies modeling, simplifies management.
