• Visual Studio Team System Load tests not getting dependent files

The load test does not attempt another POST. In fact, the load test monitor does not even report that any tests are under way. It only reports user(s) and request(s). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reusing the code editor

  I've seen many examples of the VS designer being used in other applications(example in MSDN Mag recently).  Is it possible to reuse the code editor in the same way In my application, I'd like for users to be able to write their own .NET code, which will in turn be compiled into a DLL.  If it's possible, I'd like for all this to be done in one app. Two questions here really. 1.

• SQL Server Table Column Change causing errors in Cube

  I've changed the column width a table one of my cube's dimensions is built upon. When the cube was originally created, the column was defined as char(2). I've increased its size to char(6).

When I manually process the dimension, I get the process error: E ...Show All
