• SQL Server Empty cube after date dimension added

  In 2000, we could tell immediately whether there was data in the cube by running the SQL Statement that was used to process it. We could also troubleshoot join issues between dimension tables. In 2005 the process has changed. The cube update appears to be independent of the dimension update. When I add a custom date dimension to my cube, all data within the cube disappears. My measures are empty, and I cannot get data back no matter what I sl ...Show All

• Visual Basic DataTable is not defined

  Ok I'm first to admit that I'm no legend when it comes to .net programming. I'm slow to make the transition from VB6 - so I jump straight into a beta- maybe not the smartest thing to do. Anyway, I've got a smart device project - and I want to reference a datatable. I've added the reference to system.data but when I declare 'Dim NewTable As New DataTable'  for example, it tells me that this is not defined What am I doing wrong. I have ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databind to object with null field

  I'm currently binding my object to the DataGridView. The only problem is that some fields of the object may return nothing. I found that the nullable type seems helpful at first, so I've used nullable(Of decimal). However, exception will be raised when I run under this setting. The exception message is "Nullable object must have a value." It doesn't make sense to me as I don't think I can give any value to DGV if my field is nothing ...Show All

  I'm looking for the "proper" way to do this: I've been given a web site that generates some XML.
