• SQL Server AdomdConnection.GetSchemaDataSet - using restrictions

  I'm attempting to use AdomdConnection.GetSchemaDataSet to see what information is in the AdomdSchemaGuid.PartitionStat dataset. I am setting the restrictions parameter to null. The error I get is "Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException : XML for Analysis parser: The DATABASE_NAME restriction is required but is missing from the request." All well and good, except that I can't see in the documentatio ...Show All

• Architecture Are interfaces for behavioral overloading only?

  This question comes from the new approaches being suggested when designing services with WCF and even ASMX 2. The approach is one that uses interfaces (or abstract classes) to focus on the method signatures and avoid diving directly into implementation when desiging services. This looks like a half-way contract first approach that is meant to help developers focus on what makes a service reusable (strong typing, message orientation, explicit met ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Selecting from a Combo Box

  I have a combo box with 5 pre-defined items. When I execute my code, no matter which item I select from the drop-down, the code always executes the first selection. cbxLength contains the values 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 which represents the # of years, and I multiple their selection by 12 to calculate the number of months.

• SQL Server Is there any way to decrypt the login info?

  Hi all. The new feature of login encryption still tortured me and my company's fellow :( We can't use the server's profile nor server's login audit functionality. The reason is.. they do not want any additional feature to the server even if it's just a small task. So.. I know that self signed certi generated whenever the MSSQL server started. My question is.. 1. Where is that self-signed certification. Is it loaded to memory or ph ...Show All

• .NET Development filling of dataset takes incredibly long time in Visual Studio 2005 RC

  I am working in Visual Studio RC 2005. I am filling a dataset by calling a stored procedure. As long as the amount of data that the stored procedure returns is small, everything works fine. However, for larger, but still rather small amounts of data (getXml() on the dataset returns less than 25kB), the filling takes very long time, sometimes even timing out. Even worse, the sql server is brought to a complete standstill working at ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem deploying a VC++ application

  Hi all.. I have programmed a small application (a Win32 type application) that uses only Windows API and some CRT functions. That way, I thought it would have the fewest dependencies as possible, but I'm afraid I was wrong. First, I only copied the released EXE file to the target machine. When I ran it, a message was shown telling that it expects a CRT DLL, which is expectable since I use CRT functions. Well.. I copied the mentioned DLL bu ...Show All
