• SQL Server Using DSO for parallel partition processing

  I have written some code to process partitions in parallel, but I'm not seeing the performance improvements I was expecting.  Plus, perfmon indicates that only 1 partition is being processed at any given moment. Each thread is creating a separate connection to the cube.  The object below is created with the first "process" method as the entry point for the thread. using System; using System.Collections; using System.Threa ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with PInvoke with .NET2?

  Hi I have a program that i wrote with .Net 1.1 and it uses the cards.dll that comes with windows. It has always worked fine. I am porting the program over to .NET2 and now i am getting a stack imbalance problem with a call the the cards.dll.

• Visual Studio Team System The SCM in Team System?

  So, we are evaluating Team System to see if it suits our needs. One problem I have come across is that I cannot find a application for the SCM in Team System. Now, I realize that Team System is about "work flow" and "work items". But, what about these people: - Tech writers who want to check in some help pages into the source control at a certain place, so it gets deploy as a part of the automated build process - Graphics guy ...Show All

• .NET Development GUI thread, memory leak and Garbage collection

  Hi all, I seem to be chewing up memory at a nasty rate when my app runs. It has a polling loop and not surprisingly this is the part that keeps doing it. I think I've located the line that is my main offender and its when I marshal to get back onto the GUI thread so I can update my controls. private void KPI_ScreenUpdate( KPI KPIType) { if ( this .InvokeRequired) this .Invoke( new KPI_ScreenUpdateDe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is the december CTP the final release of MSF for CMMI?

  I heard from some people from MS that this is the final release of the process guidance (it's labeled build 1.0), but I still got some missing parts on it: - Most of the sample workproducts are absent; - The "views" looks incomplete. I'm missing some description about them, the workstreams are empty and the related material seems inconsistent; - You can find lots of "xxx Brief description..." through the pages; - I'm missing some reports from pr ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating several tables

  I am trying to build a form based on a db with several related tables, in VB2005 express. The updating logic which VB 2005 express puts on the navigation bar to the first table binded to the form appears to work. When I add the update logic to the second table into the save button for the update logic of the first table, it doesn't work. The only thing I can figure out is that I need to update the second table relation not the table, but I don't ...Show All

• .NET Development COM dll info in .NET

  In VB we could use "tlbinf32.dll" to obtain the details of any dll like the Version, GUID etc. I am trying to implement the same in C# using the dll. I could get the version info and GUID. How do we retreive the Threading Model for the DLL. Can we use System.Reflection in C# to get the same including Threading Model That Regspy tool I referred to will show you the registration data.

  Subject says it all; I need to install IS, but the installer says v.2047 of IS is already installed; it it NOT installed.

• Visual C# Preserving compatibility with an Interop dll

  I asked this question a couple of weeks ago and thought I had solved it, but I was wrong. When creating an interop dll in C#, any time I alter the code and re-compile, I lose the reference to it from any applications that reference it (like VB etc). This is a sample application. I thought I was doing everything write by specifying the GUID etc but nope. Any ideas using System; using System.Collections; using System.Compon ...Show All
