• Visual C++ Linking with extension dll

  hi, I am working with a old project using VS 6.0. The exe uses an extension dll. I dont know how the exe is linking with the extension dll. I checked for the following 1. If the client exe has AfxLoadLibrary - for explicit linking. 2. If the import library is included in the client project settings linker option. 3. any # pragma statements which do the forceful linking. None of the 3 methods is used. Is there any other method to link an extension dll. I assume that extension dll also requires either implicit or explicit linking like regular dlls. Please Correct me if i am wrong.   regards, sk80.   & ...Show All

• SQL Server Querying Analysis Services 2005 Cube with SSIS

  Hi, I've been trying to use Analysis Services 2005 Cube as a data source, query it via MDX and then use the data returned elsewhere in SSIS. However, I've been unable to get this working and can't find any information regarding how this can be done. Surely it should be possible when I can get this working even in Excel I've looked in December edition of BOL and no luck - have also sent a feedback to BOL regarding this and have been told that "it should be possible, since there is a way to send SQL queries to AS." However the person I was speaking with knew of no one who had actually tried this scenario and to try posting h ...Show All

• SQL Server Find my Syntax Error!! (Because i cant see it)

  Im getting an syntax error in the insert into statement is what my error message says, but i cant see it. So if you could take a look and maybe find the problem it would greatly help. You need to delimit all column names that have spaces. Change Contact Name to [Contact Name] , etc. A good way to debug a SQL statement that you generate is to look at the commandtext string either from debugger or by printing it out and inspecting from SQL Editor in SQL Management Studio where you get basic color coding help. Hope this helps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio i want to use domain/user to login into vss 6.0d

   i want to use domain/user existing on the server where vss is installed. where can i configure it Hi Artur, When you create VSS users to match domain/user accounts you can assign random passwords to them, too (there's no need to have empty passwords). When you're using "Use network name for automatic user log in" VSS will not prompt users to enter their passwords. Setting some random passwords will make it less likely that users will be able to use other users' VSS names when opening the VSS database.

How can I fix this To be able to answer this one properly, we need to know what you are doing. So could you post the code that uses the RegCreateKeyEx function. ...Show All
