• SQL Server Analysis Service Cube browser?

  hi, I am new to SSRS. Can anyone please let me know if I can have a report that displays the "browser" view of SSAS Cube "exactly" as it appears in BIDS To elaborate, in Business Intelligence Dev Studio, if I have an Analysis Service project that designs and deploys a cube, there is a "Browser" tab that allows me to view the cube. You can drop row fields on Y axis and column fields on X axis. If the fields are heirarchical, you can expand and collapse such heirarchies on both axes. When I tried to create a dataset in SSRS using the same Analysis Service database, it shows my measures and dimensions exactly as it appears in BIDS. But, the p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DeploymentItem not working for WebService solution

  Using the Deployment section of the Run Configuration page, I've gotten DeploymentItems to work for all of my solutions save one: a Web Service. This solution consists of the Web Service project and a Test project.

Is this a known bug Is there anything I can do to get relative paths working Is there anything I can do to get Deployment under Run Configuration settings to work for a web service solution Thanks.

• .NET Development Datagrid paging, avoiding errors when deleting rows

  I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but while testing I found something that I consider to be a major problem in Microsoft's datagrid control for the web. It may or may not impact applications that you are developing/have developed so I wanted to point it out. Basically, the situation is this: You have a datagrid control on your web page, and have enabled paging. The grid is bound to a datatable/dataview, populated with rows, and has multiple pages. You are on the last page of the datagrid, and there is only one row displayed on that datagrid page. Now, you delete the record in the database that is tied to this datagrid row. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MFC projects in Visual C++ 2005 ???

  I just started up Visual Studio 2005 Express and attempted to create a new MFC project. But that's not an option on the New Project dialog. It shows some CLR project types, which is NOT what I want to do. It shows Win32, allowing only a Windows Console app. And it shows "Other Project Types", but lists no actual project types under it. So, how do I build an MFC application with VS 2005 Please don't tell me that Microsoft is simply abondoning MFC applications!!! The MFC and ATL libraries are not available in the Express Edition of Visual C++.  These are available in Visual Studio Standard, Visual Studi ...Show All

• SQL Server Looking for some magic

  ... well, perhaps some sophistication. The setup: Server A publishes to server B via transactional replication. Server A is to be shut down while some electrical work is done. So we fail over to server B for a couple days. My underpowered brain says to shut down replication, possibly fail over well in advance of the power outage. Then, when the electrical work is done and server A is restarted: 1) stop work on server B, 2) copy the database on B to A (I suppose after deleting it from A), and 3) redoing the replication from scratch. Can anyone recommend a better process I am very gratefull for any enlightenment. ...Show All
