• SQL Server Drillthrough Functionality via Excel Add-in

  Hi, I'm using the Analysis Services Excel Add-In to query a Cube built with partitions. When using the drilldown functionality for my current\default partition the function seems to work fine. However, when I try to drilldown on data in the other partitions, the following error message appears: "Unable to Drillthrough on this Cell" Would someone please be able to shed some light on this Many Thanks Jonathan Derbyshire     ...Show All

• Windows Forms Keyboard input in Form

  I'd like a Form to handle keyboard input.  However, I do not want it to clash with other controls that use keyboard input, such as ComboBox, PropertyGrid, etc. Is there a way I can find the Control that has the keyboard focus and query it to see if it (is one of the known ) text entry Controls.  This way I could prevent multiple controls from handling the same input.  This particular application needs global level input due to its ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView IndexOutOfRangeException

  System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index -1 does not have a value. I get this exception when I try to do this: products.Add(pdi); this .dgvOffer.DataSource = products; products is an ArrayList of Product objects. In my case I have a bit of complexity maybe not the best solution, but the one I thought of first. So here goes. I have an array of ArrayLists and each item in that array holds a list of Products. I then have a combobox to select differ ...Show All

• SQL Server AS2005 Cube Processed "Successfully", But Data Not Refreshed

  We process the cube automatically every night but the data isn't up-to-date despite a "successful" processing. However, if I go onto the server and process the cube directly there through the BI Dev Studio, the data will finally get updated. Similarly, if I try to process the cube from a client using Management Studio, it processes "successfully" as well, but the data is not updated. I have to do it on the server itself. I'v ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MaskedTextBox Question

  I need a textbox that will accept values in the format x.x or xx.x (i.e. 6.7, 4.4, or 10.0). I tried using a mask of "90.0" and "09.0" but they each seem to require two digits to the left of the decimal How should this mask be coded This seems to be by design. The documentation has a similar example: (999)-000-0000 United States phone number, area code optional. If users do not want to enter the optional characters, they ...Show All

• Visual C# The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file

  The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file, which renders the forms unviewable in design view until that change is undone.  Is there any way to prevent the IDE from doing this automatically Thanks, Wilfred look at this url http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx FeedbackId=f39a46fc-5dac-4a55-81ef-e1d262fe0040 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Notify Icon and the system tray.

  I've been successful with this in VB6. The VS2005 notifyicon class is certainly much nicer and much improved. I've implemented a notifyicon and it's working as expected with one exception. The normal tray icon does not dissapear. How do I make this happen Renee Actually Mattias, I was aware that it's not always at the bottom. Sometimes as brevity requires.....well brevity. Thank you and "DUH" on my part. ...Show All
