• Visual Basic Thread Management Question....I think

  I'm not really sure how to search for this question, so if this is a common question, please accept my apologies beforehand. Many programs (Winamp, for example) are able to detect if they are already running, and if so, they simply activate the window or take some other, presumably definable, action. How is this accomplished I am building an app that can run in the tray(notification area, or whatever), and I want to make sure that, if the user tries to open up another copy of it, it just activates the already running version. I am using Visual Basic 2005, as part of Visual Studio 2005 Professional. The system is running WIndow ...Show All

• SQL Server Transferring data from a Smartware database to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS?

  Here’s the scenario:   We have several clients who use a software package which has a database backend called SmartWare.   Currently, we host for these same clients websites through which the public can view some of the information stored in the SmartWare databases.   For various reasons we the websites cannot access the databases in realtime.   So we run nightly processes that transfer the data from each of the clients’ SmartWare databases into separate Access databases.   That is to say, every night each client has an Access database that receives the new data from each SmartWare database.   If any pa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to create an Icon image file

  Hi team, I have been trying to create an icon file for my new project. But I have been totally unsuccessful and I am confused. Since I have never done this before I must ask the question that is probably obvious to everyone else. What makes an Icon file an Icon I know that it has an extension of .ico but there is more to it than renaming a 32 x 32 pixel bmp to an .ico. Is it the size Some internal header data When I try and add a resource with the type "Icon", I select my image file but it gets imported into the "Images" area and not the one for Icons. I have tried jpg's, bmp's and gifs to to avail. The form ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Optimization

• SQL Server Rebuilding dimensions with huge fact tables

  Hi, I have a dimension which is used in two Measure Groups. It has many levels (let's say 10). One fact table handles level 1-8, the other 8-10. The facts are huge, about 2 billion records for the first table (for level 1-8) and 100 million records for 8-10. We discussed a fitting partitioning schema and this will not be the big issue. Our problem is, that in the last levels (9-10) members can move from one parent to another. That means that the dimension structure changes, it has to be updated which also means a reprocession of all partitions related to this dimension. This is really a problem because of the first fact ta ...Show All
