  Hi, Following MDX query works with MSAS 2000 but fails with MSAS 2005: SELECT { FILTER([Product].AllMembers, CogInStr([Product].CurrentMember.Name,"*", 0) > 0) } ON AXIS(0) FROM [Sales] Following error is thrown: [ 1] Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis S: Query (2, 32) The '[CogInStr]' function does not exist.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite scaling and blending

  OK, I've searched through a couple posts here and didn't find anything that fixed the problem. I'm scaling sprites to draw GUI controls and I'm getting funky results. Here's what I get (blown up 6x to show the problem). I'm drawing the box in chunks - upper left 4x4 pixels, upper right 5x5 pixels, left border, right border, lower left 4x4 and right 5x5 pixels, and upper and lower middle sections.I don't think I have to explain what the problem is.  I've tried setting texture filtering, destination blending, but nothing seems to affect it. Here's the sprite I'm using to draw. Maybe I just need to get some sleep. Whenever you scale a texture, you need to care about how filtering works. Consider this texture with just two pix ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Can't search within PDF files

  I've installed the Adobe Ifilter 6.0 and can now search to list posted pdf files in multiple sites by querying the pdf name. I can search content within Word files, but still cannot search content within these pdf files. Is there something else I need to configure to see content within these pdf files I can't seem to find any clues to what needs to be tweaked. Thanks. On our WSS 3.0 system, indexing PDF files did not work for existing PDF files. In order to have them indexed by the crawler we had to upload the PDF files again.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Named Pipe Timeout Issue

  Hello, I have a named pipe duplex channel, and it seems that if I don't send a message across it approximately every 10 seconds, the channel faults with an IO.PipeException stating that the pipe was ended. Sending a message on a regular interval prevents this from happening. Is this the intended default behevior of named pipes, and if so, is there a particular setting I need to configure to change it I thought inactivityTimeout might be the issue, but I didn't notice any configuration tags to configure the reliableSession as some of the other transports have. Thanks, Aaron Well, I'm rather confused to report that increasing the receive and send timeouts appears to have made a difference. Given the d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSS --> TFS How to disable incremental migration

  Threee attempts of attempting to migrate Visual SourceSafe to TFS results in the following error message: TF60047: Converter is retrying to migrate the action that was failed to migrate . This could be due a temporary problem with network or server. Incase this prob lem persist then please check your network connection or Team Foundation Server. Interestingly, the VSS database resides on TFS, so I doubt this is a network problem. I'd like to start "fresh" and do a full migration instead of incremental.
