• Visual Basic Proper Syntax Highlighting in VB05 IDE

  I really hope that I am missing something obvious, but I cannot get the IDE fro VB to highlight/color text properly. I have been to Tool | Options... | Environment | Fonts and Colors. There is an option to change the color for User Types. No matter what color I set it to, it always comes up black in the text editor. It also appears that many of the options for coloring do not work in VB. They all seem to work in C#, but unfortunately I am now needing to code in VB. Thanks for any assistance, David P.S. I am using VS2005 SP1 Holy smokes that is incredibly unintuitive and useless. Oh well, must keep coding. Score one for the VB IDE Quality Assurance Team! At least now I can quit searching for ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) List View with repeat columns much like an asp:datalist

  I am new to WPF and come from a strong web back ground. I am currently trying to figure out how to get a Listview (or any control) to repeat a data template for a specified number of rows. I am not sure if this helps but here is a web equivalent of what I am trying to do: <asp:datalist runat="server" RepeatColumns="3"> Any help on this is much appreciated. If it is not clear on what I am looking for please let me know. Thanks Justin No it doesn't. If you want item selection in WPF, you want to use a class which implements Selector (which itself implements ItemsControl). ItemsControl allows you bind to a list of items and repeat them, whilst Selector adds selection capability to the ...Show All

• SQL Server CustomQueryDesigner Problem: React to "Resize" Event of QueryDesigner Window

  Hello everybody! I am currently developing a CustomQueryDesigner which is based on a Windows.Form that I have already developed. Currently the QueryDesigner Class contains two UserControls: the ToolBar and the class that wrapps my own QueryDesigner. So what I want to do now, is to resize my Windows.Form which is encapsulated in the second UserControl whenever the size of the window, that contains these two UserControls, is modified. I already tried to use the "Parent" property and the "FindForm()" method but both just return "null". --> I do not unterstand how I can access these informations! Please help me out! ...Show All

• SQL Server Compare/Sync functions and plug-ins

  I have two questions. Q1 : ( Note : I had posted a similar query in Data Dude (Visual Studio Team System for DB Professionals) forums and got an answer (nothing conclusive though). Given the context, thought this will also be a good forum to run the post). Onto my question : Data Dude has Compare and Synchronization functionality for SQL Server. Are there any plans to integrate the same as part of SQL Server Management Studio We DBAs work only with SSMS and not Visual Studio.

• SQL Server Is it reasonable that a table has 240 fields

  Hi, I have 240 sensors to sample one time per second,then store the data in sql server. Is it reasonable that the table has 240 fields If do,it will generate about 70,000 records every day.One month records will be 2,100,000. If I divide the 240 sampling data into 10 records,every record has 24 fields.Then every day 700,000 records will generate.One month the record number is 21,000,000.It is terrible. Which method is better,or who can give me another better method or some suggestions. I need your help.Thank a lot. Dealing with a large table does have its drawbacks. I would recommend that you have each sensor report in an indivudual row such as: Data Table Primary Key - DATA_ID Foreign Key - SENSOR_ID TimeStamp Senso ...Show All

• SQL Server XML into SQL tables with relationships

  Hi, I'm trying to find the most efficient method of importing XML files into SQL Server using SSIS. The objective is to read these files created in a source directory and potentially there will be a large number of these created every second. I've experimented with the XML Source data flow task and been able to import using either the OLEDB Destination or SQL Server Destination.Using the associated XSD file These methods work well when there are no PK or FK relationships, i.e. the target tables are stand alone. However when I use a schema that has relationships I need to be able to import and be able to return the key then use this key to import into another table to ensure the FK relationship and so on..... From what I know ...Show All

• SQL Server Filtering structure across 2 dimensions

  I would appreciate any help with the following problem: Other than cube redesign, which I know we can accomplish, if theres an actual way through MDX to filter structure between 2 dimensions. As of right now I can only accomplish filtering measures by 2 dimensions. Example: SELECT { [Measures].Members } ON COLUMNS , { [Dimension1].[AnyHeirarchy].[AnyHeirarchyLevel]. Members } ON ROWS FROM [Planogram] WHERE ( [Dimension2].[AnyHeirarchy].[AnyHeirarchyLevel].[AnyMember] ) What occurs is all members from Dimension1 is returned and the Measures are filtered accordingly. What I want is it to only bring back the rows which have a relationship with Dimension2. Is this possible But if I try to filter structure across 2 different he ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Beta 2 announced (date 'in a couple of weeks')

  http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/archive/2006/10/23/announcing-xna-game-studio-express-beta-2.aspx (apparantly this counts as a duplicate post even though its in a different forum so this text is to make it different) A lot of the demand for a second beta was precisely because the content pipeline didn't make it into beta 1. It's hard to evaluate a product when a vital component is missing. So we should get a few weeks with the content pipeline (hence the spacewars webcast of a few weeks ago) and be able to start to really appreciate the power XNA provides for us. ...Show All

• Visual C# Help and the F1 function

  Hi all, I recently upgraded from VS2003 to VS2005. Everything's fine, even the conversion thing went smoothly. Only thing is that I hate the new help feature... I want to go back to using local help, no web. It's faster and my F1 works better this way (if I "F1" on a keyword, it is NEVER in the content window and it is time-consuming to go through the search function). So, either I'm not using it properly or it's just badly implemented but I'd like some advice on how to go back to the way it was in Visual Studio 6.0 and/or Visual Studio 2003. Thanks, Skip. You can change quite a bit of the help features under: Tools -> Options. There's a Help node under Environment. I'm n ...Show All

• SQL Server Browse Cube Causes CPU Spike & Unresponsive SSAS

  Hello, I'm interested to see if anyone else has seen the behavior I have experienced. I could have missed a KB article, however, hoping that someone will help with some advice anyhow. I have a cube (it is around 400 mb). Every morning I execute a SSIS package to process the cube (full process). This works every morning without any failures. When I came in this morning, I opened Management Studio, connected to SSAS, went to the cube, right clicked, and chose browse. In Task Manager, the Mem Usage by msmdsrv.exe started around 411,000. Once I chose browse, the cpu jumped to 40-60 percent. It has been almost 30 minutes now, and the cpu is still in that range. The mem usage has risen to 530,000, but I expected this.
