• Visual C++ Including text files in projects which show up in solution explorer

  Hello. This should be a fairly simple question to answer with any luck. I am trying to include text files with commentary on my code so someone else in a far off land and time could understand my program ;). With my program, some commentary is too lengthy to be put in the code, so I want to be able to have text files with more information accessible from the solution explorer for someone trying to follow the code. When Visual Studio generates a new Windows forms project, a file 'readme.txt' appears in the solution explorer which contains some explanations, etc. How can I make my own text files appear just like this readme file I am using the express edition of the compiler, in case that is relevant. Thanks a bunch. ...Show All

• SQL Server Slow Cube Performance in Excel

  Hi all, I have an Analysis Services 2005 cube that I am linking to in Excel 2003 via a pivot table. The cube is based on a single fact table with around 6 million rows and 7 measures. I have 5 dimensions, none of which have more than around 200 rows. I have set up aggregation and am using MOLAP. My problem is that querying the cube in Excel takes around one minute, whilst performing the same query in the cube browser in BI studio is instant. I have captured the MDX for each of these in Profiler. The scripts are below. BI Studio SELECT NON EMPTY [{59956A97-57AB-4CAF-8A5B-E7753FDA221C}Pivot16Axis0Set0] DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_NAME, PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY [{59956A97-57AB-4CAF-8A5B-E7753FDA221C}Pivot16Axis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to select the executed test cases from the database when generating report?

  I am generating a test case report for our project manager in VSTS. I can set the filed "workitem type" as "test case" to get all the cases. but i do not find a field i can use to get the executed test cases. Anyone can help me Thanks! Hi Tommy, Let me tell you my understanding of your situation, and please let me know if I'm on track or not. You have created a work item type called "Test Case" that is part of your team project. You have created work items that are of type "Test Case" (as opposed to "Bug" or "Task"). You have executed a few tests and published the test results to the TFS server. Have you done any linking between the work items created and the test re ...Show All

• .NET Development How to convert array of byte to stream?

  How can we convert a byte array to stream or stream to array of byte So How can we change the size of stream Can we change the lenght (or size) of stream bigger I thank you very much for your answers. just to add Peter's post, you can write to a memory stream for example, you can read data from mem into byte[] array or from byte[] to memory stream. Example: byte[] myByte = new byte[10]; MemoryStream theMemStream = new MemoryStream(); theMemStream.Write(myByte, 0, myByte.Length); this will write the contents of the byte[] array into the memorystream, of course there is nothing stored in the byte[] in this small example I believe the memorystream will increase its size when you keep writing data to it. a ...Show All

• SQL Server Indexing on Decryption Views

  1) We have SQL Server 2005 on windows 2003 server. 2) In some columns of some tables, data is encrypted before being stored and indexes have no meaning against these columns. 3) We have decryption views to select all columns of each & every table while decrypting the encrypted ones. 4) All our code i.e. only queries is in stored procs. We use only decryption views in these queries. 5) When encryted columns are involved in join or filter, query runs very slow and time outs are occuring. 6) Indexes on decrypted columns will not work. Can indexes on decryption views against these columns help If so, how 7) If so, please give an example creation of such an index on a view and its column OR post a good link ...Show All
