You can redirect your standard output like so: C:\>MyConsoleApp.Exe >myLog.txt this will redirect any console write or writeline calls to a text file called myLog.txt.

• SQL Server AMO - Dimension Size?

  Hello Folks, I've started to write an AMO application to get information relevant to DBA's out of our SSAS databases. I've successfully got the estimated sizes for Cubes, MeasureGroups and individual partitions nicely listed. However, i'm having trouble because i can't seem to find a property of the Dimension object that will give me the size. The reason i'm doing this is because i've read that you need to watch the size (and memory consumption) of these babies. How do i do this in AMO Or any other means! Many thanks. Kyle (DBA) First, if you aren't already using the AMO browser, then ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid Property update causes strange scrolling behaviour

  Hi. First time poster. I'm using a PropertyGrid to display updating integer property values. The properties have only a get. I have more properties than will will fit in the property grid hence it displays a vertical scroll bar. All the properties have appropriate help text. The application updates the integer values in the class given to the property grid in SelectedObject and then calls the propertygrid Refresh method. It does this once every 5 seconds. The values update as expected. You can select any of the immediately visible rows and the help text displays. You can then scroll down and see any of the off screen properties and the va ...Show All

• SQL Server Migrating a Legacy Maintenance Plan?

  Has anyone been able to migrate a Legacy Maintenance Plan to the Integration Services style I'm using the SQL 2005 RTM, right-clicking the Legacy Maintenance Plan, and selecting "Migrate..." After a few seconds, it presents the error "Input string was not in the correct format. (mscorlib)" The only thing that sticks out in SQL Profiler is this statement: SELECT s.log_shipping AS [LogShipping] FROM msdb.dbo.sysdbmaintplans AS s WHERE (s.plan_name=N'MaintenancePlan1') and this error message: Invalid column name 'log_shipping'. but these happened near the beginning of the trace/action. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't anything ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself. That is, some of the buttons were strangely large and the size of some dialogs just didn't come anywhere near the professional, smart look of say, Office 2000. For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not being picky here, I'll send a screenshot when I get home - it looks quite unproportioned and particularly ugly ;-) I have 1152x864 resolution. I was guessing that it was something to do with the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MDI Child Forms without border, blue box, resize buttons etc.

  I fail to create a raw MDI child form without any border, maximize/minimize button a.s.o... I 'd like to create an application similar to Excel in that way that the user may open several windows using the 'new' menu item from the MDI Parent form, each window hosting tabcontrol. The standard way to create MDI Child forms works fine but I can't get rid of these top headings! A splashscreen form seems to be a good answer but I can't create a raw one on which I could drag tabcontrols etc. VB Express edition does not provide such a simple form. Another track would perhaps be to hide those headers but I cant'succeed doing this. Can ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB first time install

  I am a network administrator interested in program development. I installed VB 2005 Express Edition for the first time on a Win XP Pro SP2 Dell GX 260 Optiplex (1GB of RAM, 1.8 GHz processor). I log in and therefore install with admin rights. Upon writing a small program to view web pages, the IDE hangs when I start debugging to test the program. The vbexpress.exe CPU usage hits 99% and stays there. I have to use Task Manager to force the process to end.
