• Visual Studio Transform Model to DSL

  Hi I ask my self, if there is a kind of "best practice" how to generate a DSL from a model I have drawn in my custom designer. Where should I start to implement such a scenario Thanks in advance Alexander Alexander, I am trying to understand your question. If you have created a custom designer, then that is itself a DSL. The models you create with your custom designer are expressions in your language. What do you want to generate from your models -- Steve Cook [MSFT] ...Show All

• SQL Server Split Row's Columns Across Multiple Tables

  Hello, Hoping someone here can help. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'm surprised not to see a data flow task in SSIS for splitting *columns* to different destinations. I see the Conditional Split task can be used to route a *row* one way or another, but what about columns of a single row As a simple and somewhat contrived example, let's say I have a row with twelve fields and I'm importing the row into a normalized data structure. There are three target tables with a 1-to-1 relationship (that is, logically they are one table, but physically they are three tables, with one of them considered the "primary" table), and t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Integrating my own content on the Codezone community search tab

  My question is about the community integration included in Visual Studio 2005.I was not aware of this feature until recently when somebody told me about it. I think it's a very cool idea and I would like to provide my own content.I run two .NET related community websites www.codexchange.net and www.developerland.com which can complement the current available providers.

• SQL Server Cannot Deploy Cube to Server

  Hi, I have created a new Cube where the data source itself is not on a SQL Server (DB2 in my case). Now if I try to deploy my Cube it brings an error messages: (Translated from German) System error: Login failed: Unknown user or bad password I could break down the problem until the point that I assume it has to do with the fact that during the deployment process the BI Studio tries to use the same account defined in my data source to access the non SQL Data source as well as the login for the SQL Server 2005 database to store the analysis data. How can I change the deployment process so it will use one account for the sour ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiling DirectShow source code from MS Press: missing mmstream.h

  I've VC6++ and VS8 installed on my PC for several Digital Vieo projects. I'm reading Programming Microsoft DirectSow for Digital Video and Television (by Mark Pesce; MS Press) and just want to compile the DSRender example in VS8 (sure I could do in VC6, but I want to start with VS8). The examples have been done for VC7. The comiplation error is: DSRender.h(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mmstream.h': No such file or directory So I searched for mmstream.h and found it in VC98\Include (in core VC6++) but not VS8 or SDKs...

• Smart Device Development UPDATE on a SQL Mobile database...

  Hi, here's my problem, i'm using a SQL Mobile Database with my application (PPC application) i've got no problem to connect to it and to query. But now that i'm trying to update fields, it just doesn't work. My syntax is correct, the UPDATE is made, but once i close the connection, i loose it.

• Visual Basic How to move a directory to a different volume

  Hi all' I'm experiencing difficulties moving a folder to a different volume (disk). All the method I've found and worked with can only move dirs to the same volume (eg, c:\test c:\foo\test) but will fail if I use a different disk as destination (eg, c:\test e: \test). I tried both with System.IO.Directory.Move() and Scripting.FileSystemObject.MoveFolder() buth neiother worked! Any hint Thankyou! Good deal.

• Windows Forms Deploying .NET 2.0 Application to Network?

  I am trying to deploy a .NET 2.0 Application to the network. However, I have run into the Runtime Security Policy problem. The whole point of deploying to the network instead of to each user's machine was to decrease the amount of work involved in the initial deployment and any future deployments. I want to make the deployment process as easy as possible without leaving gaping security holes. I was wondering what the general consensus is on the best way to do this Is it easier to simply just deploy to each user's machine with an auto-update feature built into the application Or would it be better in the long run to digitally ...Show All

• Visual C++ Low-level Threading

  My most basic threading implementations don't seem to update nearly as quickly as they should. The program below seems to get stuck on the Sleep() call for a fifth of a second every time, even though I'm requesting a Sleep of a fiftieth of that. If I remove that call, the thread takes over the CPU, as expected. I understand that Sleeps are inaccurate but my previous experience has shown it to be off by a few milliseconds, not a few tenths. long t = 0; DWORD WINAPI run(LPVOID param) { while(true) { printf("%f\n", ((float) clock() - t) / (float) CLK_TCK); t = clock(); Sleep((DWORD) 1); } ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vista 5342 and the WinFX Feb06 CTP

  Hi, I got a short question on WPF and Vista. I recognized (again) that a default install of Vista does not contain a "WinFX runtime". I heard on Channel9 and read in several blogs that WinFX will be an integral part of Windows Vista (of course, this makes sense!!!). Now why do I have to recognize that there is nothing at all and I have to install a runtime manually Will this procedure also affect the final release of Windows Vista Or did You only forget to ship the WinFX-part Thanks Mue I believe that you can install the runtime from "Add Windows Component" under add/remove program.

• Visual Studio Team System A Minor fxCop Bug??

  One of the dependencies in my application is on: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook when fxCop can't find it and prompts me to browse for it it, the file dialog box prompts me to look for Office.exe or Office.dll and won't let me change it to the correct name in order to find this dependency. Is this a bug It's not a big issue - I've been able to ignore it, but it would be nice if there were a fix because I get it everytime I run fxCop. Thanks, Chuck Chuck, I can't repro this. I just tested this and FxCop asked me for either Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll or Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.exe. What versi ...Show All
