• SQL Server Solve order

  Hi !! I'm migrating my AS2000 to AS2005 but I have a problem. In my AS2000 I have a lot of calculated members and some MDX queries that use those member. The problem is: In AS2005 the order of calculations changed. Now the calculations are done before the aggregations in the MDX querie. But I have more than 300 calculated members and change one by one seems to be very hard.

• Visual Basic Datetime.op_GreaterThan vs hours in date

  Hi, very simple question: Have 2 date fields:  me.futureDate = #05/30/06 07:30AM# and date.today #05/30/06#. Both dates are today, so to me this is the same, but when I try this line: DateTime.op_GreaterThan( Me .FutureDate, Date .Today), the result is true I think this has to do with the 7:30 AM with is more than the current date. When I try this we end up in the else clause:  if Date.Today > Date.Today then 'here line of code else 'here other line of code end if  How can I compare this properly (without the time or set the time of futureDate to 00:00)  What is the best practice here Thx ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to cast object of type x[]' to type x[]'.

  Sorry for the crosspost but I anticipate getting a lot of 'That is a webpart issue.' responses which is bunk, its a CLR / Web Services issue. I am having a problem with this also but it is not remedied by clearing the ProjectAssemblies folder. I have a web based project that dynamically loads assemblies (WebParts). In these assemblies we connect to a web service and pull down Collections (arrays) of data and then display information in the web part based on the data received from the web service. Pretty basic. If I include the assemblies in the project and drag and drop them on a web zone they work great. However if I dynamically ...Show All
