  Hi all So I just converted a huge project from MetroWerks CodeWarrior to Visual Studio 2005. The project converted fine and ran... ran I said, since now I cant run anymore.

Now the code runs, but not very well, since some members of structs are not being read ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to make Calculation-values persistent in a Cube !?

  Hello Is it possible to make Calculation-values persistent in a Cube ! I made an very intensive calculation based on historic data.  This resolves rather in a complex MDX-statement and becomes slow at retrieving time  I was wondering.... Is there a way to calculate the value at processing time (by MDX-expression) and store it in the cube I know there is a field 'MeasureExpression' but this field is not full MDX suitable ! ...Show All

  What is an #ifdef I can use to determine a compile is VS2005 vs eVC 4.0 Thanks JEK Hi, There is no such flag that takes care of the incremental change over eVC in VS 2005. The only flga that is useful is _WIN32_WCE which is defined for all those cases where the device side code differs from desktop code. The best place to get the information about the differences shall be msdn documentation or dicu ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows Service :: Why does my OnStart() code cause Service to show as Starting? 1053 Error: Could not start service

  Hi, My c# windows service checks the status of a given process every minute. My OnStart() code starts an infinite loop to allow perpetual process checking. The problem is that when I manually attempt to start the service (Admin Tools->Services), the service shows as Start ing , not Start ed . When I check task manager, the service is actually running and sending status alerts as it should. If I check the status programmatically, the ser ...Show All

  Hi all, Just thought if it's allowed, i'd make a 'improve this code' type post.  No real point, just to see how it ends up. The code is for making 'flying text' on a form. All you need it to make a new project, and replace the form's code with this code.  No adding of controls needed. The code is not commented, i figure it's pretty self-explanitory. Basically right now, the animation is triggered by a created timer, and text is draw ...Show All
