• SQL Server Aggregation Migration

  Definitions of aggregations objects in AS2K5 are organized in AggregationsDesign groups so as to be able to assign a unique definition to several partitions within a Measure Group. When Migration Wizard migrate aggregations, if two AS2K aggr sets from two different partitions of the same cube have exactly the same definition but are ordered in a different way, the Migration Wizard process will create two different AggregationsDesign with different name, duplicating xmla descriptions. So It's better to order all the same aggr.definitions by the same criteria in every partition of a cube before migrating it. It can be done by using th ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBoxColumn not displaying stored value

  Hello, I am having a lot of trouble with the datagridview. My datagridview holds data of the child table. It does populate fine. However the problem comes when I want to add a combobox to the datagrid. Toward the end of the code below I add a combobox and bind it's source to the appropriate look up table. When I run the application, the column is added and it does have the values of the look up table, however it does not show the currently selected value in the database. It comes up blank. Also, I use the following statement: DgvCalls.AutoGenerateColumns = false ; My understanding is that this should not display any columns unl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing Service Does Not Throw Exception

  I am using InvokeMethod to call into a DataExchangeService . However, if the service was not added to the WorkflowRuntime before the activity is executed the workflow hangs and the process consumes 99% of the CPU. WorkflowRuntime. ExceptionNotHandled is not fired. Jared, This is a bug in the InvokeMethod which does not check for the missing service until execution time. The check should be made while initializing. In either case, the WorkflowRuntime. ExceptionNotHandled would not be thrown if the service is missing. This is thrown only when the exception is not related to the workflow thread and is throw ...Show All

• .NET Development looking for a good XML schema wrapper tool/code generator

  We extensively use XML schema in our application, exchanging XML instances between the client and the server. We create typed dataset wrappers on top of the schema to speed up the development. These wrappers are just used internally and are not exchanged between the system components. Some features enabled using the typed dataset as a wrapper are missingin from the classes generated by XSD.exe so we dont' use it. On the other hand dataset aren't so good at managing schemas with imported namespace, any and so on. Is there any third party tool that is able to create rich and complete wrappers around XSD schemas We are ...Show All

  Hi All, I have been facing this problem since a long time. At runtime in a VB application, I get some system errors and the entire screen will get diagonal lines. For eg I have one activeX control from where i am displaying a form . In that form I am getting one runtime error due to type mismatch error ( error no 13 ) . Now i have error handler in both the places : the Subroutine from where the form is displayed and also the function in the form itself where the error occurs . But still we are getting the runtime err msg and Diagonal lines are coming in the calling activeX control . Please keep me posted if any one knows about it. ...Show All

  Is there a simple way to make a program perform a function based on the length of time the application has been installed (Time Trial applications that stop working after 30 days for example).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie General Questions & Error on Non-Dev Machines

  Hello, I've just started programming C++ as of today, so yes I am a newbie, but I do have some experience in Java and GML so hopefully it will come in handy. First off I'd like to know if there is some kind of function list for standard C++ Libraries.. For Java and GML their is an obvious list of all the functions and parameters easily available to all programmers. From what I can see, even MSDN doesn't offer something like this. Secondly whenever I use, lets say, #include <windows.h> I get an error similar to: Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory c:\documents and settings\ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merged directories: How to? Impossible?

  Hello experts, I have a problem here which I can't quite get around with Team System: For various products, we have HTML files and some form files, of which some are exclusive for a product, and others are shared between several products. Using VSS, we used to first "get" all the shared content into a directory in the workspace, and then "get" all the product specific content into that same directory. VSS usually managed to remember the paths for both client paths, making it possible to check-out and -in using the VSS client, in that merged directory. If you try to do the same using the TS Client, it will cry out ...Show All
