• SQL Server MSOLAP.DLL Version Numbers

  I have been trying to install some third party software that checks for pre-requisite software in my computer. The third party software is returning the following diagnostic result (saying I do not heve the correct version of PTS). Microsoft PivotTable Service 2000 Required: OLAP Server 8 .0.986.0 Currently: OLAP Server 8.0.760.0 Status: Error It is my understanding that "PTS" is MSOLAP.DLL.

• .NET Development Simulating hardware faults

  Hey, I'm trying to do a project where I'd like to simulate 'hardware faults' that occur during the execution of functions from the base class library. Basically, during the execution of a method, I'd like to flip a bit in the memory that the method is using. I've been looking around and have found nothing on how I might be able to do this in the base class libraries because I don't have access to their source code like I do for my own methods. Anyone have any ideas Thanks, Michael It's not that hard. Just starting a .NET program is enough to generate several hundreds of page faults. It just happens that there is code around that puts a pretty little bow on top of that fault, doing the &q ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Force workflow to complete

  I've 3 activities in a sequential workflow, and I've added some coding in completed event. In the 2nd acticity, I want to force the workflow to complete based on some conditions, so it can skip 3rd activity and jump to the end of the workflow, and run the coding in completed event. Is it possible to do this ! In a sequential workflow you need to either use a TerminateActivity to finish the worklow in an abnormal way, use a ThrowActivity and catch it in the workflow fault handler or use the WorkflowChanges object to remove the last step from the workflow. Depending on your situation the WorkflowChanges is probably the best way to go. Of course there is also the option of using an IsElseActivity around your ...Show All

• SQL Server Backup Software

  Hi We are getting ready to rollout a new system in the next few months and I have started to look at backup and recovery strategies for SQL Server 2005 on which this new system will be housed. The proposal is to by Veritas Backup Exec with the server this system will be housed on however my knowledge is "limited" to the backup and restore options available directly from SQL. I have been unable to find any opinion on using third party software to backup and restore SQL Server 2005 databases. Can anyone help to give me an objective opinion on this subject. Should I simply use SQL Server and the tools it ships with or do these third-party applications make it easier Many thanks in advance of your help Cheers Danny ...Show All

  Hi, I am a newbie VB6 programmer looking for assistance in converting the following code into VB2005 code. No matter what I seem to do I cannot get an equivalent that will run using VB2005.

• Visual C++ Extremely memory efficient file sort?

  Hello, We need a C function to sort files that are up to 10,000 rows long with 100 bytes per row (1MB), but only have 10KB of memory available to do so (this is an old 16 bit application ... we have over 500K lines of 16 bit code, so upgrading to 32 bit is not an option right now). At most, we can store about 90 of the 10,000 rows in memory at any one time, and the routine needs to be reasonably fast. Previously we had used a very small footprint database to do the sort, but recently had to scrap it since it maxed out at 16KB of memory and our newest upgrade reduced the space available for sorting to 10KB. Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this Maybe the following articles and samples can help you: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build freezing?

  I have run a build a few times now, and it is freezing. I am running a custom installshield task that I have wrote. I have to build about 12 merge modules using the ISSABld.exe, it gets through about 6 of them and then while building it freezes. Does anyone know why this happens Thanks.

• .NET Development adding Window Media Player into IE Toolbar
