• SQL Server Measure expressions and currency conversion

  OK - here is my scenario... I have a fact table containing one measure: Sales. The values of the measure are stored in the same currency (DKK) for all records. In another fact table I have exchange rates for four different currencies per day for a 15 year period (approx. 22000 records). I have built a cube around these fact tables containing two measure groups. Measure Group 1 Measure: Sales Dimensions: Time, Product, Company Measure Group 2 Measure: Exchange rate Dimensions: Time, Currency The only shared dimension between the two measure group is thus Time... The currency dimension contains one attribute hierarchy (CurrencyCode) wit ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating relationships between 2 databases

  Is it possible to create relationships and enforce constrains thereof between two fields with the same data type from 2 different databases ( i.e. 2 different .mdf files ) altogether, attached to an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express This would help overcome the limitation of the 4GB database size it imposes, by splitting the info required into different databases, rather than just different tables. All the relationships could be then created and a program could be created using Visual Basic or C# or C++ to access all the data meaningfully. I also say this, because in a scenario like where some common piece of data, like contact info, has ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office A newbie question: how to control word directly?

  VSTO provides a document-centric way, but sometimes I just want to control the Word directly and do some simple task, e.g. launch the word, ask it to open a .doc file, insert some text into that doc file, and save that doc file into some location on my disk. I don't want to generate some class object in my program, just want to direct the word to do something. Can I do this in VSTO Thanks! Hi, With VSTO 2005 you can only create document based solutions. With VSTO v3 you will be able to create VSTO application level add-ins with Office 2007. But for now you must create a standard COM add-in using Visual Studio. Paul Stubbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Designer and Report Item

  Hi all I'm very new to Reporting Services in general. I have played with some samples and even successfully created my own custom Data Processing Extension.  Though with some troubles, I managed to published some reports to the Report Server using this Data Processing Extension. However, I wonder if I can reuse my extension when adding a Report Item in a non-Report project in VS 2005.  For example, I have a C# project and it uses the Report Server Web Service to publish rdl files to Report Server.  Now my question is how to generate such rdl files   I know there is a sample of how to programmatically generate rdl files.&n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System distributed development environment

  Background: We have a distributed development environment and some development is outsourced. We have all the code in team foundation source control. The offshore team does not have access to the server due to firewalls. They ship us the code and we need to merge it into our source control. Question: What is the best way of merging their code into source control We tried the following but did not work: 1) Do a global checkout to my workspace 2) From windows explorer, overwrite all the files(source files as well as project files) 3) Do a checkin. I was hoping that I would be prompted for resolving the changes at s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Infopath project under source control/tfs

  In the following scenario, working with VS2005, TFS, InfoPath and Biztalk 2006 in one solution, the following issues occur: - All files (.xsf, .xsd, etc) needs to be checked-out if you only want to edit the Layout of the infopath form - It is not clear how to share the XSD between the InfoPath project and BizTalk (I did not find a way to 'link' the xsd like in regular VS projects) - I find it more convenient to edit the schema in vs 2005 xsd/biztalk editor. however as soon as InfoPath opens the files are 'in use by another process' - If you preview the form, the solution will not compile because the xsd is locked by anoth ...Show All

• Windows Forms Terrarium Server won't reintroduce

  Hi, I've set up a Terrarium server sucessfully (I thought) and I connected with a client and introducted a couple of creatures.  Everything worked great.  I shut down both systems for a couple of weeks.  When I started the systems back up it was fine for a minute, but then all my bugs died of old age and I recieved a message box saying that they died because it had been too long since I was connected (or something like that) Now the server doesn't seem to work.  I can connect to the Terrarium server ok but I can't get any creatures.  I've tried to reintroduce the creatures, but I don't get anything on the server ...Show All
