• SQL Server Parent-child hierarchy: how to get readable member unique names?

  Is it possible to have a parent-child dimension which is referenced from the fact table via an integer key but shows a string key in it's MDX unique member name Here is the background to my question: I have a dimension with a single parent child hierarchy. The key column is test_key and the parent column is test_key_parent, both of type integer. This works beautifully except for the MDX member names which are similar to "[Dim Test].[Hierarchy].&[10]". This project has a requirement that the member unique names are readable so this is not acceptable for me. My next approach was to add a couple of string columns: test_co ...Show All

• Visual C# VS 2005: "Key not valid for use in specified state"

  Hi all- I'm running VS 2005 final release version.  I have a solution with two projects in it; an ASP.NET website in C# and a VB project which is my data access layer. Yesterday, this code was working fine.  I can compile and run the solution, and all the code works. But when I try to access or add a new datasource through the VS 2005 Data Sources Explorer, I get a popup which says: "An unexpected error has occurred.  Error message: key not valid for use in specified state." This message pops up after I select database as the source of my new datasource.  The wizard does NOT fail if I use a Web Service as my new datasourc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Extensible Compiler for .NET

  This may be a bit esoteric but...I thought I'd post it anyway. I've created a tool that relies heavily on the FxCop rule engine. I call it the Extensible Compiler for .NET. You can get the latest drop here: http://www.jasonbock.net/JB/Code/ExtensibleCompiler.zip Basically it's a way that you can add your own custom compilation rules. The rules I have in the drop to illustrate how it works by enforcing the following rules: * Checked exceptions (ala Java) * Base virtual method invocation * Constrained interfaces I use attributes in conjunction with these rules but any FxCop rules can be added to the engine. The code drop includes a Word doc th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Developer has no access to SCC

  Hi, I am using TFS beta3r and am experiencing a strange problem with the project I've created last. Since project creation failed a couple of times I had to use tfsdeleteproject.exe to remove it twice before I was able to successfully create it. After that it seemed to work just fine but my developers are not even seeing the project in SCC. They can interact through Team-Explorer, but cannot see nor access the source-code. The complete hive is missing in the source-control-explorer. If I look as administrator, I see the TFS-Project hive 3 times and all 3 show the solution and files. I've checked the rights in SCC-explorer and they are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Individual Website settings versus Default website settings / Websites not available

  If you choose to import settings from all Websites and Create a New Web site endpoint per site, the LDC correctly creates endpoints for each web site. Problem: There are no settings available for the individual endpoints.  I have to configure settings on the Default Website node in Settings and Constraints Editor (SCE), and this applies to ALL websites. Example: I want to set the AuthFlags for an individual website to NTLM.  Currently, I can only do this on the Default Website in SCE.  However, in IIS, I am able to configure the individual websites separately. Why the discrepancy between the LDC and the physic ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL String Help Please

  I'm in the process of creating an application that converts one database to another database with different fields...pointless, yes, but easier than typing in 4000 entries My SQL string is SELECT * FROM tblInformation However, that's all fine and dandy, until I don't know the name of the table in the database...I know this doesn't work: SELECT * FROM * or SELECT * FROM ALL but I don't know what else to try.

• Smart Device Development Maximized borderless forms on Pocket PC

  Hi, after migrating an existing application to .NET CF 2.0 I experience an ugly behaviour with my maximized, borderless forms: I'm displaying stacked modal forms e.g. one modal form opens another, then that one closes etc. The not-so-nice thing is that now under CF 2.0, the Windows Start menu is briefly visible between the close of the child form and the redraw of the parent form. This was working nicely under CF 1.0 and seems to be a problem of CF 2.0. Any ideas or workarounds Thanks, Detlev Hi Detlev, Have you been able to solve the forms issue. I've just migrated from VS 2003 CF 1.0 to VS 2005 CF ...Show All
