SQL Server Books Online July 2006 issue
The SQL Server Books Online was working installed on my workstation fine until this morning. Now when I open it up it does not show me T-SQL reference with all the commands and functions. Yesterday I was on the MSDN website using the Books Online. Could some pointers in the program been corrupted I have uninstalled and reinstalled Books Online to no avail. Please help. Thanks, Fred Hi Fred, Okay, this sounds like maybe a filter was accidently set that is limiting the returned topics. At the top of the Contents tab, there's a "Filtered By" drop down box. Make sure the filter is set to either 'unfiltered' or 'SQL Server 2005', or 'SQL Server Database Engine'. That should resolve t ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Limiting the size of the JournalEntryBackStack
Hi, I am building an application that navigates from one page to another using NavigationService Navigate(object) where the object is a PageFunction that I construct. No Uri-based navigation scenarios are possible in the application. The pages are hosted in a Frame that owns the navigation journal. And, I'm setting KeepAlive to True for all these pagefunction objects involved as it'd be impossible for me to restore the exact state of the page otherwise when I navigate Back to it. I'm also providing some CustomContentState to do some additional context restoration when the page is navigated back to. This works quite well and navigation back/forth is instantaneous but, expectedly, my app's memory footprint grows pretty quickly and out-of- ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Learning MDX 1.1?
Hello everyone! I've got Tom Miller's two books on Managed DX (Kickstart and 3d Game progamming). I've just started reading the Kickstart one and was later going to read the 3d one, however the Kickstart one goes through alot about setting up a Device and enumerating your system adapters, etc. This is things that XNA does for you, right Later on it goes into more advaced stuff. Is this stuff that I'll be able to use using XNA or is it totally waste of time if I'm going to use XNA Am I better of reading tutorials on the web about XNA Thanks in advace! -Martin Even though the API of MDX is quite different, there are various concepts (such as indeed device creation) that might be useful to learn mo ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pleas suggest technologies to be used for the project
My background: 4 years of OpenGL development 5 years ago, so I am very familiar with 3D graphics and algorithms. Know nothing about Direct3D. I haven't followed trends in 3D hardware/software since then. However I am currently under impression that OpenGL support is dwindling on Windows platform (feel free to disagree and provide more information on that) I am thinking of developing slideshow software using 3D hardware acceleration for transition effects. To clarify: it seems that all existing slideshow products are "off-line" software, that is you specify pictures and transition methods, start "show renderer" and wait. Then some kind of animation file (SWF, MPG, WMV or proprietary format) is produced that you can play back on y ...Show All

SQL Server How to hide Calculated Members (in the Measures dimension) using Roles
My solution requires a large set of Calculated Measures which I would like to hide on a per Role basis. I have managed to add a role and hide particular Measures for this role (using the "Dimension Data" page of the Role properties), but at this point, no Calculated Measures show up for hiding. Even if I go into the Advanced tab and write some MDX to generate the set of allowed members it does not work: FILTER([Measures].ALLMEMBERS, INSTR([Measures].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME, "Prefix_A") > 0) It seems that when role security is evaluated, the cube has no knowledge of it's calculated members... There must be a way to do this. Even if I can't use roles, I need to acheive selective hiding of the calculated measures in an arbitrary client ...Show All
