• SQL Server Set permissions with AMO

  Hi, I'm using AMO to create roles and assign cube/dimension permissions to each role. I managed to set allowed and denied sets for dimensions, but I need some help to figure out how to set allowed and denied sets to dimension measures . Does anyone have samples they can show me Thanks in advance. There are no dimension measures. There are measure group measures. For figuring out how to do anything in AMO I found useful combination of; Use SQL Management Studio dialogs to perform an action you'd like, but insted of at the end clicking OK, click a Script button in the mangement dialog. You get an XMLA script that shows what are the changes you need to happen. Then use AMOBrowser sample applic ...Show All

• SQL Server for loop expression

  I'm trying to run a data flow task inside of a for loop container. First I was attempting to set the forloop expressions using variables that I was setting by running execute sql tasks. I ran into so many problems there, I decide to try this an easier way. So I've created 3 variables, all Int32. One is called counter, one is called inc, and one is called max. The values are set to: counter=1, inc=2, max=100. I then need to set the Expressions for the for loop. SO I open the properties window, and click on Expressions on the left hand side. I've set the following: AssignExpression : @counter = @counter + @inc EvalExpression : @counter < @max InitExpression : @counter = 1 To prove to myself that the counter variable was not incrementin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Credential Provider / User Session Question

  Hi, Is there any way for a credential provider to associate some of the data that is provided by the user at the logon UI page with the subsequent session that the user receives I think the answer is no, since none of the ICredentialProviderCredential methods expose any information about the user's session, but I was wondering if there was some other API that I could use during the ReportResult function to get some form of unique session identifier. Thanks Couple corrections: Even prior to Vista, winlogon could exist in sessions other than 0 (Terminal Services connections, Fast User Switching). Also, WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId returns the TS session id of the session currently bound to the physical dis ...Show All

• SQL Server Yearly, monthly... basis report based on the parameter values

  Hi guys, I am created a bar chart report. The x-axis value of this chart is a timestamp(datetime) field of a dimension. Thousands of records are inserted in to this field everyday, as a result, I will have the timestamp information every second or minute. So here is the thing, If I want to present last month data in the bar chart(x-axis), the chart can not accomodate all the data and it doesn't look good to present a data in every second or minute. So I want to present the data on yearly, monthly, weekly, daily or hourly basis based on the StartDate and EndDate parameters value provided by the user. Any idea is appreciated.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpriteBatch.Draw(..., float layerDepth) No Longer Works For Me

  I guess that the deprecated BeginScene() used to automatically changed some device states in order to make it possible for layerDepth to work. But since that function is gone in Beta 2, I no longer know how to automatically depth order my textures. Is there a set of device states I need to be in to get this automatic sorting If not, I'll just write my own sorting code. Thanks! Terry A. King wrote: I have a question which sounds quite similar, or may offer a solution, to this.
