• Visual Studio Team System Warehouse not updating after upgrading to RC

  Everything except reports seem to be working fine after the upgrade. When I go to run a report there is no data in it. When I run the scripts in the Warehouse Troubleshooting guide the Last processed time is null. I try to go through the controller web service and it dies on the ProcessingOLAP step. I am set up in a dual tier configuration. On the SQL box there are entries in the Event Log every time the Scheduler tries to update the Warehouse with the following error OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.; 42000. Any ideas I have looked at the permissions of the Olap Service and ...Show All

• SQL Server Need urgent help

  Hi I have a strange situation. We have a middle teir application (j2ee appserver) that uses connection pooling. The client was working fine when all of a sudden it hangs. I have checked the sp_lock and sp_who2 and there has been no locking/blocking whatsover. This problem stays until we restart the app server. Is there any way that I can further dig into this problem and find it out if it is the db that is causing the issue. I used sql profiler and I could see some log entries made into the database while client is hanging after that. Also sp_who2 lists the spid for the middle tier connection. It does not however show any loc ...Show All

• SQL Server About Members and Ordinal function

  When I use MDX sample application, I write a code like this: SELECT    {[Time].[All Time].[2005]} ON COLUMNS,    {Filter( [Equipment].Members , (InStr(1, [Equipment].CurrentMember.Name, "xxxx") =1))} ON ROWS FROM francis.

• Visual C++ How do I get an Environment Variable?

    I have 35 years of experience. I have mostly avoided the C world. when I've had to write in it, I've done OK in VS6. VS2005 C++ is so cantankerous. I'm writing a program that must run standalone  so it's very lean and doesn't rely on high level code. I am in need of a routine that returns the value of the %windir% environment variable in string format. My project is set for a unicode build. Thank you Hi Renee, Umm, if we're talking about C#, maybe it is possible to use: System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") Which'll return a string with the value of the env variable in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Question concerning "can grow"

  I am sure that there is an easy answer to this question, but I have not been able to find it. When I format an object choosing "can grow", how do I make the object under move down so that the growing object doesn't grow into it. The object that can grow will most of the time be quite short, but a few times be pretty long. It will look silly on the report when the "can grow" object has its normal size, if I really have to move the object beneath it so far down that such a "collision" can never happen. You can make more than one sections to avoid this problem.  Put your "Can Grow" object in one section and t ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6 > .Net Conversion Error: Character Device names?

  Hi At my wits end... I am experiencing a problem when trying to convert a rather large VB6 application into a .Net 2005 application.

• Visual Studio Team System Unit testing a form...

  We're trying to unit test the main form of our application. Things like instantiating the form, checking for the default controls, invoking something that creates a new panel, checking for focus inside this new panel... all these things work great. For testing navigation we're using the SendKeys class to send a Tab key press to the form from the unit test. This works fine when you run this test method independently. However, when I run my entire test class, the test methods that are trying to test navigation using the SendKeys class are failing. When these tests are run by themselves they pass. When they are run with all the other tests t ...Show All
