• SQL Server Dimension Access for Roles in AS 2005

  When creating a role in AS 2005 and specifying dimenison access (on the Dimensions tab of the role definition in BI Dev Studio), why do some dimensions have the option of "None" as access level while others only have "Read" and "Read/Write" For example, in looking at the Adventure Works sample solution for AS 2005, if you add a role and then go to the Dimensions tab of the role definition, you'll see that Account, Department, Organization, and Scenario only have "Read" and "Read/Write" as access options.  All the others have those two as well as "None". At first, I thought that it was because of some unique setting for those four ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Error attaching schema to document in VSTO 2005

  Hi, I am getting the following error when trying to attach a schema to a document from within a VSTO 2005 Word Project: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." The code I am using is: Me.Application.XMLNamespaces("myschema").AttachToDocument(Me) I do a Me.XMLSchemaReferences.Add first if the schema does not exist in the library...

• .NET Development Saving changes imposed by DataSet to .mdb

  Hello,    I am writing some classes that I will use for a project that I am doing involving the use of msaccess databases. For the most part I have been using the System.Data.OleDB namespace in C#. I can manipulate the databases, but once I am done manipulating them how do I save the changes to the same db or a new db I would have thought that it would be fairly self-explanatory. I have tried searching for the solution. What am I missing I have attached a link to the preliminary version of the classes if that helps.

• Visual Studio Team System Full Circle error MSB3202
