• Visual Basic Parameter is not valid after being valid for millions of iterations

  Hi again all, I have a bitblr routine which runs for hours and then crashes with the exception details included below. I believe I have eliminated all the memory leaks, Available memory varies when the program is running between a low of 125 megabytes and an high of 158 megabytes. I have half a gig of memory installed. This problem started this morning after running the program for the entire night, about 14 hours. As I continue to run the program it seems to be degrading, I am getting run time conversion error in routines that have been performing the conversions for at least 6 months.

• SQL Server Value dimension

  Hi, I have a dimension 'Customer' with 15 customers. When I look at the value of a customer it shows : [Customer].[Name].&[1] (this is the value for Kelly Woods). Is it possible to show it as [Customer].[Name].[Kelly Woods] thx I see you've got a userid and password in your connection string - so are you connecting to the server using http If so I remember in AS2K that certain connection string properties got lost if you made a http connection. Otherwise I don't know why it isn't working; perhaps AS is deliberately ignoring it if it thinks it will create ambiguous names. Sorry... Chris ...Show All

• SQL Server Use Webservice to write user access into RS directly?

  Is it possible to use the web service of RS to create an application that will automatically write the users of the reporting services directly into RS Plan to allow about 30 thousand users to our Reporting Services. We have a bit of a strict security implementation on folder securities. I was wondering if we can configure mass security access using a web app and the RS web service Yes, you can use the RS SOAP APIs to set permissions on folders, reports and other items. I suggest you use group membership to grant permissions, as managing 30k individual users is probably going to be cumbersome. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixing Managed and Unmanaged C++

  Hi All, I'm a beginner in this managed C++. Currently, all of our existing system is coded in unmanaged C++ w/ OpenGL. Then, at the moment, there is a need to produce a binary file that is readable both in current C++ and C# (using BinaryReader). With this requirement, I ASSUME that I need to code that file function in managed C++ inside the current system. However, there are a lot of errors coming out as soon as I switch the /clr switch on. It's not just work. What I need really is...make the current unmanaged code work as usual, then one more function to produce the binary. In this case, do i need to code it in managed C++ (to pro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How stable is the current Beta 1?

  I'm going to be kicking the tires on this fantastic workflow framework for a potential replacement of our corporate workflow management system when those goes gold.  I would like some measure of confidence that if I start coding to these API's that they will not be in too much flux...i.e. entire namespace deprications.  I realize that is asking a lot...but from what I have used thus far of the framework it looks like exactly what we need. We currently have an enterprise licience for BizTalk but as you all know BizTalk does not handle human work flow very well.  BizTalk will be reserved for our EAI aspects and I can clearly see ...Show All
