• SQL Server Analysis Server Memory Upgrade

  Dear Anyone, We recently upgraded our analysis server from a 4GB to 8GB. For a couple of weeks, we noticed that the server memory isnt going up to close to 8GB and only goes to around 4. We use the /3Gb and /PAE on our server. Can anyone recommend some memory tweaks that we can use on the Analysis Services Thanks, Joseph Memory limitations for AS2K5 are the same as AS2K -- they are based on the OS (see earlier post). Therefore to use 8GB of memory you must be running on a 64-bit platform, as a native 64-bit application. That being said however, what might be confusing you, is that memory usage in AS2K5 has gotten a wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetTcpBinding, Windows security

  Let's assume you have service application runs on a computer which is part of  a domain and a client application runs on a computer which is not part of any domain and you want to use that service (Simple example can be found on MSDN, WinFx : Net TCP Sample ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.WinFX4VS.1033/WCF_samples/html/e8475fe6-0ecd-407a-8e7e-45860561bb74.htm) Obviously it would not work, but the problem is even if you add client credentials to the client application, still it does not work!

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How can I insert and work with images?

  I have a program running on a linux server that serves out barcodes for reports. I created a web service in c# that grabs the barcode graphic from the server and returns a base64-encoded string of the barcode image the server creates. I want to insert this graphic in the upper-right hand corner of the word document and I'm thinking the header is a good place for it, but I'd also like to consider positioning a floating image as well. I've been doing some reading and playing around; By using a bookmark, I've gotten the grahic inserted in the header (the barcode graphic, once inserted should appear in the same place on all pages of the doc, ...Show All

  I have observed the following behaviour on Beta 2: On a new (empty) solution I added a "solution folder". Inside the "solution folder" I created two WF projects. A "sequencial WF console application" and an "WF activity library". The "WF activity library" did NOT show up in my toolbar (no matter what I tried).

• Visual Studio Express Editions DB Update Problem??

  Hello everyone I am somewhat new to VB, but not to programming in general.  When I am testing out code I have that updates local DB tables, everything appears to work well.  I close the app and reload and looks like changes are still there.  I then close VB Express and reopen and changes still appear to be there.  But the moment I try to view data in the table directly, I cannot see the values I would expect.  Afterwards, the values appear to be gone when running the application as well.  It's like any time I touch the DB in design, all changes I thought were made to the tables are completely gone!  Is t ...Show All
