• SQL Server Measure values for Invalid hierarchy memebers

  Scenario ------------- A measure group is related to Time dimension at the Month level, has only the month_id column. The Time dimension also has levels defined below 'Month' like 'Week'. In the cube browser, when the measures of this measure group are viewed with the Time hierarchy below the Month level, values for week are copies of the Month values. How can this incorrect representation be avoided Can zero or n/a values be shown when we drill down to week values. It is like Sales Plan amounts are only defined at month level, the same amount being shown at the week level is incorrect. Regards mat There is a property associated with "Measure Groups" called "IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions". By default this ...Show All

• .NET Development How to know what exceptions a method can throw?

  I was reading in some other posts that you only have to catch known exceptions. And that it is not allowed to catch Exception like this: private void CheckCancelEntryWeighingRecords() { try { mis.Transfer(data.CsvData); //Call to a third party dll } catch (Exception ex) { LogError("Error occured in CheckCancelEntryWeighingRecords", ex); } } How can I know what exceptions a method can throw So that i can decide on which situation i can recover and on which not I know that the Framework.NET has documented the most exceptions.

• Visual Studio Express Editions visual web developer book

  i registered visual web developer to get free book. when i will receive that book When you register the product you would use a hotmail account or some other passport account. Once done the system sends you an email to that account with the details to verify and log on to the connect site.

• Visual C# multithreading

  I need to do multithreading. It is my fist attempt. It failed. This is the setup: There is a form with tabControl and a few pages. There is a progress bar on one of them. It is supposed to measure progress of file downloading. WIthout multhithreading it is dead while the files are downloaded and then in the end it jumps to 100%. This is what I did. Everything compiled but the progress never was activated even after the downloading was over. In other words my code actually made the things worse. In the main form I put in this code at the start of procedure that is handling the download: ThreadStart threadDelegate = new ThreadStart ( Work.DoWork ); Thread newThread = new Thread ( threadDelegate ); newThread.Start ( ); T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Reading 2 lines from a file

  Hi all! It's me (again). I feel really frustrated, because I know that I'm so near to achieving my goal, and yet it seems so far! Problem: I have a text file with 2 lines (it will always be the same): - Line 1 defines the name of the "Plugin" - Line 2 defines the executable path of the "Plugin" A directory (sampledir1) contains an amount of files structured like this. Is there a way to add the names of these "Plugins" to a listbox, but also assign a value to that item, so that when the item is selected, the plugin will launch. Please don't get mad at me for asking so many questions - I'm still a newbie... Thanks! Johannes Hi Spotty Thanks - that helped me a lot, but now, I also want to put in a cas ...Show All

• SQL Server sp_executesql From App's Dynamic SQL Causing Performance Problems vs. Query From SSMS

  Okay, so I came across an odd performance issue that I'm wondering if some guru can help me out with.
