• Architecture Access to Stdregprov

  I am running into what I believe is a security problem trying to access the registry via WMI using stdregprov. I am trying to access the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International key, specifically the value sDecimal. The following is the javascript snippet I am using: var ls_regKey = "Control Panel\\International"; var HKCU = 0x80000001; refRegistry = GetObject("winMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root\\fit1cd666\default:StdRegProv"); // determine if we can access the registry var numAccessMask = 1; var boolAllowed; if ( refRegistry.CheckAccess(HKCU, ls_regKey, numAccessMask, boolAllowed) == 0 ) { S ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with non-standard dimension

    I am very new to Analysis Services and have a problem that I don't have any idea on the direction to go or where to look for the answer. I have included a very simple example of the tables to hopefully explain what I am trying to do. I have a WIP billing table that is used as my Fact Table. I am using the Adjustment column for my measure. I have three dimensions "Region by Employee", "Region by Client", "Service Code". The different region dimensions are because the work may have been done by an employee in a different office or region than what the client is assigned to. Everything is fine when filtered by the "Region by Client" d ...Show All

• Visual C# Refactoring: Encapsulate field.

  Hi All, Just started to look at VS2005 beta 2 - I don't seem to be able to use the encapsulate field refactoring function.  I select a private class level variable and click encapsulate field.  The IDE then prompts for the property name and displays a code preview window which has the original field renamed to that of the property (highlighted) and no get/set type code.  Am I doing something wrong here Cheers, JW. I guess not supporting most of the refactoring options in Express is by design, It's one way to add value to Visual Studio. In VS2003 I used a plug-in that provided ...Show All
