• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Raising an event when a Storyboard hits a certain time value

  Hello- I have declared a Storyboard in XAML and would like to fire an event when the Clock hits a certain time value. For example, to use a sample from the Microsoft documentation, this animates a Rectangle across the screen: < Rectangle Width = " 50 " Height = " 50 " Fill = " Blue " Name = " myRect " > < Rectangle.RenderTransform > < TranslateTransform x:Name = " TranslateTransform01 " X = " 10 " Y = " 30 " /> </ Rectangle.RenderTransform > < Rectangle.Triggers > < EventTrigger RoutedEvent = " Rectangle.Loaded " > < BeginStoryboard > < Storyboard Na ...Show All

• SQL Server convert varchar to numeric(4,2)

  Hi, I have two databases SQL Server. I’m migrating tables from one database to other, but some columns are diferent data types. Is there a way to convert varchar to numeric(4,2) like follows: select convert(numeric(4,2), discounting) from database1.dbo.table1 the following error occurs: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type varchar to numeric. How can I do this thanks!!!! The error message indicates that you have values in the column that cannot be converted to numeric successfully. You could use ISNUMERIC to check for such values and filter them but it may not be entirely accurate (since ISNUMERIC checks for several numeric type conversions, money and integer conversions). In the simple case, yo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using Colormap values in an array to pass to SetRemapTable

  I'm having difficulty doing it. When I declare an array as new object and load it up with ColorMap.NewColor and ColorMap.OldColor, I get a runtime error which is essentially a type mismatch error. When I attempt to declare an array as new ColorMap, I'm told you can't declare an array as new. Can someone tell me what I need to do Or, if I'm on the wrong track for my purpose, which is simply to swap one color for another in a bitmap, perhaps someone could tell me how to do it. I'm using Visual Basic Express. Thanks. It's not fast but it works: Dim bmp As Bitmap = CType(Bitmap.FromFile("c:\temp\test.bmp"), Bitmap) For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width - 1 For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.He ...Show All

• SQL Server Hide dimension members which have no rows in fact table

  When a cube is presented to the end user (thru Excel or Reporting services), I would like to limit the available dimension members to only those which have at least one row in fact table. This is to simplify what user sees as a list of choices under a dimension attribute/hierarchy and not be overwhelmed with all the dimension members for which no data may exist in reality in the fact table. Does Analysis Services 2005 have any easy way to accomplish this as part of UDM/Cube design Let me give you an example. Take "Locations" role playing dimension. In ocean transportation business, "Locations" are of different types such as Port of Load (sea-port), Port of Discharge (sea-port), Inland Point of origin, Inland Point ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Upgrading from 180-day trial version to full RTM version (volume license)

  I just upgraded our trial version of TFS to the full version and wanted to pass on some notes about the exercise. Upgrading is pretty simple: Click Change/Remove on the entry for TFS in Add/Remove Programs on the TFS server, then enter the permanent license key in the dialog box that appears. Our TFS license was purchased through a volume license agreement, so we had no nice box with the 25-character license key on it. Instead, per the instructions elsewhere on the MSDN site, I called Microsoft Customer Support to obtain a key. The MS support rep needed the TFS Product ID in order to generate a license key. Unfortunately, neither of us could find the darn thing; after 5 minutes of searching every Help | About box we could think o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy windows users to different servers

  Hi All, I have an issue with deploying a SQL 2000 database project to different servers, each using windows authentication. I have a user against in the database project called "User1". This has to be tied into the login "COMPUTER\User1", where computer will be the name of the server I am deploying the project to. The problem is that creating a user using sp_grantdbaccess requires a login name, but the login name can't be determined till deployment time because the login name will change based on the server name. So I keep getting the error 'User1' is not a valid login or you do not have permission" . Does anyone have a work around for this Other then blogs and this forum are there any good online resources for D ...Show All

• SQL Server Tutorial Lesson 7 Status and Trend Indicators wrong

  I am in lesson 7 (KPIs) and I did the Reseller Revenue KPI. All code was copy/pasted from the tutorial. I get the correct amount results, but my status and trend (gauge/arrow) indicators do NOT agree with the tutorial: My results : Reseller Revenue $80,450,596.98 $109,226,500.00 (with the gauge at empty and the trend pointing to the right) Tutorial says: Same amounts, but the gauge is at 1/4 full and the trend is UP Please note that the result of KpiValue ( "Reseller Revenue" )/ KpiGoal ( "Reseller Revenue" ) = .737, which, if I understand the MDX in the status code, supports the gauge result that I got, NOT the result that is shown in tutorial. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Executables as Project References.

  I have inherited a distributed application that has 4 servers and one client. 3 of the servers are also clients to one of the servers. The clients have the Server Executables added in the client's "Project Referrence". In particular, the client app has added a Reference to the executable of one the servers. The client app makes use of one of the classes declared in the Server's project. Moreover, this class has a method to add messages to a collection running on the server. Everytime I call this method from the client app a message is added to the collection that runs in the server. I don't understand why this is happening. Question: By using this Server's Class, does it mean that the client app is communicating to the ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Move pushpin

  Hello, In the past, I removed and add a new pushpin to just move it. But that's quite slow. Is there another way of doing this I've tried to set the new coordinate to the LatLong property of the VEPushpin object. Like this: myVEPushpin.LatLong = new VELatLong(lat, long); But the pin doesn't move. Is this supposed to work Greetings, Maarten Hi Maarten, I too am wondering the same thing. The virtual earth api seems to suggest that you can move the pushpin but I'm really quite fuzzy on how to implement this. I tried the same code you did also with no success. I am already using google maps but would like to use virtual earth as an alternative but need to be able to move the pushpins and do not wa ...Show All
