• Windows Forms open with in vb2005

  Hi, i got the following question: how can i set my application to work like this: if i doubleclick on a file (for example an mp3) to open with my app cuz the program is opening up (starts to run) but don't start to play the mp3 file. how can i solve this thnx I assume your program is already associated with the file type, because the program starts running. Windows passes the filename(s) that were clicked as arguments to your app. You can get them with Environment.GetCommandLineArgs and act accordingly. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use YTD on a mirror period

    Hi friends   I have a funny situation. I have a period dimension which contains Year, Qtr, Month. I also have another Time dimension which contains Mth1 .. Mth25.   The 2nd Time dimension matches that of the 1st Time dimension ie. Mth25 is 2005.April. and Mth24 is 2005.March and so on...   However I need to calculate YTD when MTH25 is selected from the dimension.   I can't exactly do YTD (Mth25) as Mth25 is not a time dimension. Is there a way to Retrieve the equivalent time dimension in the form of 2005.April from Mth25 so that I can use in YTD Calculation   Thanks Tom ...Show All

• SQL Server Designing Aggregations

  I have a fairly large partition (100M rows, 30 measures) and am attempting to create aggregations through the Aggregation Design Wizard.  Regardless of the option I select, either percent or file size, the wizard always completes after designing only about 50 aggregtions for 0% and only 200kb.  I cannot believe that to be right.  On a much smaller partition I created about 600 aggregations to 30% for 2GB. I've double checked to ensure I have all of my dimension attribute relationships defined.  Any ideas why I cannot get the large partition to build the aggregations or why it completes after building about 50 & ...Show All

• Windows Forms Any problem with installing .NET application on a shared network drive?

  Hello. Does anyone understand the mechanism of running a .NET winapp from a shared network drive I've tried with a few clients and it seems to be OK. However, how about if 100 clients running the same application at the same time I'm curious that the real mechanism of doing this is when I run the shared application from my local machine, the OS will copy the whole exe file to a temp folder in my machine first or what it does is like Just-In-Time code reading from the network source My app does not need any special call to non-partially trusted assembly as it just reads data from web services and perform some presentation. Thanks for all of ...Show All

• Windows Forms IToolboxService and the DesignSurface class

  I am trying to use the DesignSurface in VS 2k5 Beta2 and I'm a bit confused when it comes to the interaction between it and the IToolboxService. I have an implementation of the IToolboxService and I have added it to the DesignerHost. My toolbox service uses a treeview to show the controls available and in each category (root nodes) I have a selection pointer node and various other windows forms control nodes. When I drag say a button ToolboxItem on to the surface I get a button. I then react to the SelectedToolboxItemUsed method on IToolboxService to change the selected node in the tree to the selection pointer. If I then click on the desig ...Show All

• SQL Server How versatile are Object variables?

  I want to store a recordset in an Object variable. I will be constantly appending records to and deleting records from this recordset during runtime. More specifically, I want to append a record each time a container (including TaskHost container) starts to execute. When each container finishes executing I want to remove that record. Basically its a stack isn't it Fundamentally I just need to know if this is possible before I waste time trying to do it. I realise I'll need a script task. Thanks Jamie I can't think of any reason why this would not be possible since any task can access any variable that is in scope and locked ...Show All
