• SQL Server How to orginize MDX Scripting development? Best practices are wanted!

  Hi MDX Gurus, Could you please give me a properly advice. I make a lot of MDX scripting development. Today I made script changes in BI Studio, then deploy cube (changes) to the server, then test it with MDX queries from Sql Management studio. Both tools take some hundreds MB RAM and aren't quite fleetly. Do anybody have some hints to better shape this process Hello Vladimir. I do not have any good answere to that question.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to print a document from print dialog

  hi, how to set a document file for print dialog to print. regards ramakrishna Not sure what you mean but this is an easy way to print any visual element in WPF. This is an event handler that will print the WPF window ( this is the visual object to print, in this case it is a window): *************** void PrintClients(object sender, EventArgs args) { PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog(); if ((bool)dlg.ShowDialog().GetValueOrDefault()) { dlg.PrintVisual( this , Title); } } *************** Here are a couple of blog posts to get you started: http://www.charlespetzold.com/blog/2006/02/201111.html http://www.charlespetzold.com/blog/2006/02/230940.html Print ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error 0x8004D00E on SQL Server 2000 + Windows 2000 SP4

  We have an ASP.NET application running on Windows Server 2003 whose database backend lives in a different machine which runs SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000 Server SP4. Whenever we try to use System.Transactions we get errors. We are almost sure that the problem is related to MSDTC refusing network connections. We tried to run the same thing using Windows Server 2003 in the backend server, and we were able to make it work by configuring MSDTC security using the COM+ console. However, we still need to support Windows 2000 for the backend. There is apparently no GUI for MSDTC security on Windows 2000, and the registry settings we have tried so far did not work. We think this should be a very common issue, but we have ...Show All

• .NET Development Using "unique" with "field xpath=" value being variable instead of fixed

  Hi, I have a case where my "unique" identifier field name (in an xsd) can take on different values (based on another value in the xml). My case is validating people--which can either be identified by a Social Security Number or a UniqueId. I’d like the xsd to validate based on the SSN or UniqueId specified in the xml. HERE'S THE "FIXED" CASE (which works fine for validating against a fixed field name – SSN in this case): For a "fixed" case (where only SSN is the unique value): [xsd fragment] <xs:unique name="ProfileUnique"> <xs:selector xpath="Profiles/Profile"/> <xs:field xpath="Ssn"/> </xs:unique> ...Show All

• Visual C++ MessageBoxW and converting to LPCWSTR

  Hi MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Message Box Title -- Hello World", MB_OK); Error: error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' IDE:VS2005 I don't understand why it gives this error. Can you please tell me what the problem is and how i can solve it. Thanks Of course, you're free to do whatever you want. But I would very much prefer to fix your bug and use Unicode , instead of ANSI. Frankly speaking, in this global world, in this Internet era, I consider ANSI strings as prehistoric obsolete string format.

• SQL Server Permissions to run vb code

  In one of my reports I’m using vb code that copies one file from a local disk to a server. Like this: Public Shared Function CopyFile(ByVal infile As String, ByVal outfile As String) Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(infile) fi.CopyTo(outfile, True) End function The report is executed using report services directly in a browser. In the Visual Studio environment it works ok. In the browser I get an error. I’m sure it is a permissions problem. Any pointers to set op permission for this rdl-file /NHS There is no way to elevate code permissions for a particular RDL. Better way is to move this code into a separate assembly, grant permissions to that assembly and call ...Show All
