• SQL Server Write back with UPDATE CUBE in SSAS2005

  Hi, I have got the following problem with the write back (via UPDATE CUBE MDX statement) in SQL Server Analysis Services 2005: We want to write the value 12000 for the 4th quarter based on the existing value of the 3th quarter. Existing values for the 3rd quarter: 3rd Quarter 6000 July 3000 August 1000 September 2000 We expect the following values for the 4th quarter (like in SQL Server Analysis Services 2000): 4th Quarter 12000 October 6000 November 2000 December 4000 But the UPDATE CUBE statements writes the following values: 4th Quartal 12000 Octobe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Threading issue using windowless VMR9?

  Hi, I'm using a windows VMR9 (with a custom allocator/presenter) to play back a video file. I use a seperate thread to display the frames from the VMR9 onto some Direct3D geometry. The problem I have is that just occasionally the display thread will fail in a call to Device.StretchRectangle() when copying the surface generated by the VMR9 to my own surface. I suspect this may be a resource locking issue and the VMR9 is attempting to write to the surface at the same time I'm reading from it, but I'm not too sure, and I have created my device with the 'support multi-threading' flag. Is this likely, or is there something else I've failed to realise And if so, how do I lock the surface to prevent this problem from happening (Edit: oops, just ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is Microsoft taking problems serious?

  Today i came back from a 2 week holiday, before my holiday i had to investigate or InfoPath could be of use of one of our customers, i installed infopath 2007, and was looking for some developer tools for VS2005, since we want to use infopath serverside/webbased. After installing several servicepacks (why are those not advised in the microsoft updates ) i finally got what i want! (took me 4 hours). Using infopath in VS, but when creating a blank infopath c# solution i get some stupid memory error. Offcourse there is no clear error, like in 99% of all MS errors it only tells what's the problem, not what's causing it, and offcourse not how to fix it! After using The Google for 2 hours, i gave up, since the error could be caused by ever ...Show All

• .NET Development UDP Listening and Sending on single port

  Hello, I am attempting to write a small DNS Server program. I find that many windows based DNS servers are either 1) to costly or 2). to complicated for what I doing. I have been reading up on DNS protocols, which trying to find any information on is a nightmare, and I have finally understand what I have to do. Now I have never really worked with UDP sockets in programing before. I have been reviewing samples and digging around and I thought I had it right, but it doesn't look like it. if someone could tell me what I might be doing wrong or have a better suggestion on going about this please let me know.

• .NET Development System.TypeInitialization exception.

  Hi, I have a windows form application that works well in my computer in debug and release modes from IDE and windows explorer.  I do XCOPY deployment on other computer.  When I run the applicaiton there, it gives System.TypeInitialization exception. As expected, this exception is thrown when I call a class with only public static variables...no constructors, propterties and methods. How can I solve this issue   Please help me Thanks and Regards.

• Windows Forms Sending email in vb.net 2005(using vb) not with smtp but the users outlook (mapi)??

  I have an application that I need to send mulitiple emails from. There are about 10 users who will have permission. However my IT Group has locked down the smtp server and will not allow "Applications" use the smtp method. I remember in vb6 I used mapi to send emails using outlook that was on the users computer thus giving my IT folks traceability of who is sending what and not having to set up 10 people on the smtp permissions. Can this still be done using outlook(mapi) It's going to be a lost cause if your IT dept only allows certain IP addresses to connect to the SMTP server. There is no way (well, few ways) to fake the IP address. Tell those losers that the guy on the Microso ...Show All

• SQL Server Jobs lose ownership/permissions when server reboots

  This is sort of a DR issue since it involves reboots and power failures. We have MSSQL 2005 SP1 and unpatched systems, but in particular we have this problem still with the SP1 server (in addition to the unpatched systems). Running on Win 2k3. It seems that upon reboot, our stored SSIS jobs lose their pemissions and/or ownership for execution. It doesn't happen at every reboot or power failure, but seemingly more than half the time. Here is the error reported: The job failed. The owner () of job Job_1 does not have server access. But checking the properties of the job and it shows an valid owner in the Owner field. I believe we are using Active Directory for authentication and the user listed is valid in that respect. We have "fixed" thi ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Customizing Toolbar in IE7

  I am having a small problem. I have TWO search boxes on my browser.. One for Google toolbar, and the one that was originally there on IE7... I set my default to google. I cannot find how to get rid of the original search bar (to the right of the address bar) and just keep the google toolbar search box.. There is no option that I can find to just have the top row be an address bar..Any suggestions.. I cant even tell google toolbar to take away its search box, it is automatic.. It is ridiculous to have TWO search boxes on the toolbar.. Anyone know a way I've tried everything I know..
