• SQL Server Analysis services: Locking partitions

  Table A in SQL Server 2005 is split in partitions where the oldest partition will be deleted when the new partition fills up. Data aggregation using Analysis Service is powerful, but when syncronizing against the database, source data from the deleted SQL Server partition/file group is removed and aggregations in Analysis Service will be updated. Is there any possibility to avoid updating the data for certain partitions and lock the data in partitions in Analysis Service ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Could I work off line with Team Foundation Server?

  It seems I could only connect to the TFS to work with work items such as bug, task, etc. Could I work off line with the Server Sometimes I have to work at home. Could I make a dial-up connection to the remote server in company, see is there any bugs related to me, then disconnect from the network, after I modify the source code, and reconnect to check-in my modifications to the code and change the state of the bug Thanks! Shelving is something else.  When you shelve your work, you're effectively (but not precisely) checking it into a new branch (made just for you).  When you unshelve you're getting that branch and then del ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System False Positive: DoNotInitializeUnnecessarily

  I am getting a false positive on code like the following public class Fred { private string a; public Fred( int i, int j ) { Bert bert = Bert.ManufactureBert(i,j) this.a = bert.Property1; if (bert.Property2) { this.a = null; } } Yes, I know I can rewrite, but a) that means I have to invent a new local variable name; b) Property2 is almost always false. Notes: a) The above is a simplification of the actual code. b) I am using FxCop 1.32 (as that appears to be the last version that runs on .Net 1.1) I simplified too far :-(. Closer would be: p ...Show All

• SQL Server Analysis Services through Management Studio: cannot connect. Possible workaround.

  I have a SQL server 2005 developer edition installation on my Windows XP SP2 workstation. SQL Server was installed after Visual Studio 2005 pro, and therefore after SQL Express. From what I recall, SQL Browser was also installed with SQL Express using the Local System account as the Browser service account. As per best-security practice, I have installed 2005 developer edition with the accounts for the services as local accounts (different account for each service). Obviously, due to the VS2005 install, Browser was installed using the Local System account. I therefore created a local account for the Browser, and put it into the SQLServer200 ...Show All
