• SQL Server Datatype conversion strangeness

  Hi all, After more headbanging and cursing than an entire Metallica audience, I have finally deduced how to store and calculate the values of a stack storing RPN calculations using a recursive stored procedure. But there is a new conundrum. Originally, to test the above, I was using fairly simple values -- 10, 20, +, 3, /, etc. But the real data is likely to include values with at least a couple of decimal places -- these have been configured us ...Show All

  If we upgrade from a competitive project, are we still entitled to use the competitive product The license is a little vague. Legal got back to me. The End User License Agreement only had verbage concerning microsoft software. We also don't do competitive licenses much anymore at MS so my legal contact couldn't find any information on it.

• SQL Server mdx query retrieving Sap dimension structure

  hello everybody, we're developing a sort of "navigator" for reporting data from SAP BW cubes. We found, within our project constraints, xmla+mdx to be the most effective solution. For the "parameter area" of the navigator we need to obtain dimension structure information, but can't do this via the discover method due to a limitation in the method itself (Sap natively manages "hystorical" dimensions, which isn't hand ...Show All

• SQL Server Controlling number of Matrix rows displayed

  Here's hopefully a simple one and I'm just not looking in the right places for the documentation: I have a matrix and the result set it displays can range from 20 rows to 200+ rows. The columns range from 25 to possibly 100+. I need a way to set the maximum number of rows displayed per page so that if there are 200 rows returned (or some other arbitrary number) and the user wants to see 25 rows per page, then 8 pages will be returned. Is t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using the Rules Engine with complex data containers

  We are currently working on an implementation of the WF Rules Engine to validate complex data containers. These data containers contain not only simple properties, but collections of other data containers which themselves may also contain collections of other containers. We are evaluating what a suitable business rule set would look like to validate these containers, and the feasibility of business end-users [or developers] maintaining the rules ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Uhm, what?

  I am trying to use a Custom Build Rule to build assembler files, much as described by Jeff Abraham and I am kind of running into the same problem. The rules files only differ on the extension used and some quoting practicalities. I don't agree with Jeff's analysis of what is going on however: An unfortunate side effect of this build rule is that you end up deploying the .obj produced, because it becomes a project output As far as I can see it ...Show All
