• SQL Server Annotations in design mode?

  Is there any way to persist Annotations in design mode I'm considering using them to keep track of measure-group specific state, but I'm worried that every time I re-deploy my cube, I'll lose this info. Does anyone have experience using Annotations Are they only exposed via the AMO OM In design mode, you can switch to raw XMLA code view by right clicking on the object. You can select "view code" and you'll see XML representation of the object. You got to be careful modifying the XML directly such that if something goes wrong, you might loose consistency of your object. But on the other hand XML representation gives you power to access any property (such as annotations ) directly without ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and Microsoft Project - Editing Description and other things

  Is there a way in Microsoft Project to change the description of a Work Item Some of our managers work in the MSP world and publish directly to TFS from there. However, from MSP they cannot (or haven't found a way) to edit the WI's description / links / attachments etc. Is there a way for them to do this in MSP without going into Visual Studio I believe that would have to create a field mapping for the Description field to MSProject in the Process Template. You can do this by modifing the FileMappings.xml file in the Classification directory for the template. From the Team menu you would access the Column mappings option to select the Description column to appear. As for the Links/Attachments, you can modify/add/remove these ...Show All

• .NET Development Bypass Proxy for local Gateway

  Hello, I have a proxy server on my network which I direct all users to for web browsing and access management, the proxy is at a remote site which is accessed through a VPN. We also use a .net product supplied by an external company to access their network and data. The problem I have is that the .net program is using the proxy server at the remote site for its connection to the remote server. I need it to use the default gateway of the local machine so that when the VPN is down they still have access to the program using their local PC. I have found a KB article (318140) that shows how to configure .net to use an alternate proxy rather then the default given by IE, however, I don't have an alternate proxy only a gateway. Is ther ...Show All

• SQL Server How to manage all the SqlNK versions at the same time?

  Hi everyone, Nowadays, we've got four sql versions running around: 6.5, 7.0, 2000 and 2005. If you try attach from Enterprise Manager 2005 servers it doesn't allow you because of 2005 uses SMO instead of DMO. If you try attach from Management Studio 6.5 or 7.0 servers it doesn't allow you too. We'd like to have from the same place a tool for all of them. Is it possible Thanks in advance, Hi Staya,   I meant, when you do this action: "New Sql Server Registration" from your client.

• SQL Server Index usage statistics report

  Has any body else had this problem. In SQL Server Management Studio in the report tab when I choose Index Usage Statistics all I get is just these messages and no info at all. Is this a bug. It does tell me the name of the database. Index Usage Statistics Shows how the users and system use the indexes. Index Operational Statistics shows details of the no. of operations performed on the indexes Ah. It actually looks like a bug.

• .NET Development SSL on non-blocking socket, please help.

  I have a working set of network code for my application that is based on the BEEP protocol. Because I may need to support many simultaneous connections, it uses non-blocking sockets for efficiency. I now need to implement encryption for the network connections. However, the SSL class that .NET provides is implemented as a stream that wraps another stream. I cannot create a NetworkStream for it to wrap because they do not work for non-blocking sockets, neither can I correctly implement the Stream class without blocking on the Read method when there is no data to read. I doubt that I am the first to run into this problem. Is there some solution that I am aware of or a free third party library that I can use ...Show All
