• SQL Server Table Column Change causing errors in Cube

  I've changed the column width a table one of my cube's dimensions is built upon. When the cube was originally created, the column was defined as char(2). I've increased its size to char(6). I've refreshed the .dsv view and it catches the changes. However, when I deploy the cube, it doesn't detect the change and processes correctly (without really doing anything). When I manually process the dimension, I get the process error: Errors in the back-end database access module. The size specified for a binding was too small, resulting in one or more column values being truncated. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurr ...Show All

• .NET Development Raise / Trigger events programatically

  How do I trigger an event in an object. I do not want to call the code in the event handler directly or multiple reason: 1) There may not be one 2) There may be a number of event handlers 3) My event handlers are private I want the equivalent of PerformClick but for any event. This was piece of cake in my last language but seems perversely difficuly here. It's probably a security issue, but it's hard to figure out why sending events is less secure than using Reflection methods. Is there any problem in the CLR environment with getting the object handle and using SendMessage Paul Cotter <Aside > In my last languag ...Show All

• SQL Server Authentication Problem x64

  Win 2003 Server x64, .Net 2.0 x64 Reporting Services 2005. RS Database is a remote SQL 2005 on the same Domain in the same room. I can only get the report manager to authenticate local users; it will not authenticate Domain users. If I set up a local user and add a New Role Assignment all works OK. I have no problem adding a Domain user to a New Role Assignment, it allows this, but it will not authenticate the user. Adding the Domain user to the Windows Administrators group also has no effect. Am I missing something simple I doubt this has anything to do with the x64-ness of your HW. When ...Show All

• Visual Studio Another victim

  I'm having a bear of a time getting reports with subreports to function correctly. I have followed all of the directions for logonInfo updates. The original report running under v9 only has to have the first four parameters filled, from there 9 other linked parameters are supposed to be filled. I started with code that we have in production (v9). This code ran fine when running against the server that the report was designed against. But when compiled in CR .net 2005 the linked parameter values kept prompting. Then I tried to hack my way through that problem and set all of the parameters (13) instead of just the 4 we normally send. Stil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Set pixel of a window

Anyway, here's the entirety of the code I'm trying: (the window and hDC are already prepaired by the other language) #define STRICT #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <wingdi.h> __declspec ( dllexport ) void WINAPI Dotty(HDC hDC){     ::SetPixelV(hDC, 100, 100, RGB(255,0,0)); } when I build it I get the message: 1>Test ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums DotMsn Connection Licensing

  OK. I'm using DotMsn and C# to connect to MSN network, but 95% of the time, it fail. Currently, I am using the default setting provided DotMsn as my connection parameter -- client id: msmsgs@msnmsgr.com -- Client code: Q1P7W2E4J9R8U3S5 . I believe the connection failures have something to do with the licensing as the official documentation stated that: "Note that officially you must use an obtained license (client id and client code) from Microsoft in order to access the network legally" I wonders where can i register for a license to the network I thought I read a post that you should submit it to the http://www.worldsbe ...Show All
