• SQL Server Connection to Analysis services from VB - very slow

  Dear All, I noticed a strange problem with one of my client's computers where in establishing a connection with Analysis services from VB takes 6 seconds, when the computer is not connected to network, but it takes only a fraction of a second when the computer is in networ. We use ADOMD to connect to Analysis server. Analysis services is installed in the local machine. I ran dependency walker and found that the dll WS2_32.dll (winsock dll) is taking most of the time when establishing connection. This issue is very important for us and it would be great, if someone could help me in this. Thanks in advance, Niyas ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using word as a merge engine for form generation

  Hi, We are looking at the possibility of using Word to merge XML (or database based) data into predefined form templates. These templates have static header and footer sections and multiple "flow" sections that would have varying amounts of content that would need to be mapped to the appropriate section. Each content element needs to be to affect it's style and formatting (font characteristics, justification, etc..) based on tags in the data. We would like to know if Word or Reporting Services is a better mechanism for this. We want to know if there is new functionality in Word 12 and determine if it was a bet ...Show All

• .NET Development Compute processor time & working set for a managed thread

  Hi, My code hosts external code for which I need to track CPU usage and working set. Each piece of code is independently held in an Assembly and loaded into a main container assembly which manages its execution and lifetime. Basically, I need to know on a per-thread basis, how much CPU usage and working set a thread uses. First, the ProcessThread class does not map 1-to-1 to a Thread class. Moreover, even if I somehow tracked their mapping to get to ProcessThread.TotalProcessorTime, ProcessThread doesn't have working set information. My other option is that, barring a huge performance hit, I wouldn't mind loading an Assembly for eac ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling a Sql Server function in VB.NET 2005

  I have a function in my SQL Server database called GetCfgValue.  It receives a string parameter and returns a string value.  I want to call that function from within a VB.NET 2005 app.  How do I call that function from inside my application Hmmmm.  That's very strange.  'Add' appears as the first method in the list that displays through intellisense. What version of VS 2005 are you using   I'm using the July CTP (8.0.50630.0).  It seems unlikely, but perhaps there is a bug in an earlier beta.  Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you.  ...Show All

If you encounter an error with manually creating the database, let us know what that error is. Thanks Laurentiu ...Show All

• .NET Development SQL StDev and TOP aggregate functions

  Problem: I have to get some statistical values from a DataTable included in a DataSet; not from a table stored in a database. For instance, let's say I have to get the maximum , minimum and average values contained in a certain column. Question: What is the best way, in terms of performance, to obtain those values I am using the Net Framework 1.1. Some other possibilities: I think it is possible to use SQL to obtain this values from tables stored in a database but in this case I need to obtain the values from a DataSet because it is a requirement to calculate them before the user updates the database.
