• SQL Server Can't get SQL Server 2000 to use more than 2GB of RAM

  Hi, I have configured my SQL Server to use AWE and the /3GB switch in the boot.ini. Also the SQLService account has the "lock pages in memory" user rights. Yet SQL Server and Windows together do not want to utilize more than 2GB of memory, while 4GB is available. Some details below: 4 GB memory (2 GB available) Windows 2000 Server Enterprise (SP3) SQL Server 2000 Enterprise (SP4) In the SQL Server log I can read "Address Windowing Extensions enabled" and "Warning: unable to allocate 'min server memory' of 2560MB" Does anyone know what I am missing here Thanks in advance.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF with the release version of VS2005 ?

  Hi all. I played a bit with WPF when I had beta 2 installed, but now that I have the full version, I can't find any way to install it again Am I missing something All the downloads I can see in MSDN relate back to beta 2. The Nov, Dec, and Jan CTP builds of WPF and the rest of WinFX all support the released version of VS2005. These CTPs do not have a separate SDK as they are part of the WindowsSDK. There are separate VS integration bits. Check blog, forum and newsgroup postings for links to the download pages. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Web Project pdb files - VS always want to add to sourcesafe

  I had posted about a problem in beta 2 where the output from a web project (dlls and pdbs) always were showing up as a new file to add to source safe in the pending check-ins.  Someone replied and said it was a beta 2 bug and would be fixed in the release version.  I have since installed the RC and the problem with the dlls has been fixed put the pdbs are still showing up as needing to be added.  Is there something I need to configure to make this go away or is it intended to be this way Thanks, Rod I've had the same thing. However, the problem was solved by using Alin Constantine's ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office automation - getting a built-in constant with late binding from .NET

    Hello everybody,    Because my application has to target multiple versions of Office I've chosen to use late binding. I don't want to hard code the constants (for example Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) but to get them at runtime through late binding.    How could I do this from C# or Visual Basic .NET    Best regards,    Gabriela Hi folks! I had quite a similar problem lately, and I maybe found quite an easy way to "hard-code" these things. Take a look at http://www.aurigma.com/Products/COMtoNET/ .

• Visual Studio Express Editions typedef arrangement CL doesn't like

• Visual Studio Custom Editor

  I am currently trying to integrate a custom editor (for an in house scripting language) within visual studio. The editor itself has been build as a seperate windows application. However, i wanted to convert it into a VSPackage. I have read whatever is available in the VSIP sdk, but that's not much! I have also looked into the basic edit sample (provided with the VSIP sdk), but i somehow feel that it might not be the best way of getting things done! Is there any other information available online, if possible, the source code of a well designed package Thanks in advance. Hi Doug, This is by far the best clear-cut notes about VSIntegra ...Show All

• SQL Server dimension records exceeds 64000

  I am facing a problem in SSAS, unlike Analysis service 2000 , I cannot find any grouping under level properties for a dimension. Actually one of the dimension is too big, some 1600000 records are there and no hierarchy as such. only way is to club by first alphabet,which we were using in 2000. i.e. by using the grouping property. but in SSAS 2005 I cannot find any, how do i overcome this, otherwise beyond 64000 records its not showing There has been a change in terminology in AS2005. Instead of grouping this functionality is refered as Discretization. You need to create a new attribute based on the same column as your main attribute. ...Show All
