Is there a way to automatically create aggregation designs on a partition just by using XMLA or other means Thanks, Joseph I, too, would like to see the official Microsoft AMO sample code.

• SQL Server Report showing #Error when using the custom assemblies in the popup preview window

  Hi all I am trying to create an rdl (server report) in reporting services 2005. I am using my own assembly file as data source. That assembly file is placed on server. I am accessing it by registering it in report properties using Business Intelligence Solutions Explorer(.Net IDE). My problem is that when I try to view the report in external preview window, instead of showing data it shows "#Error". But when I open the report in Preview tab, it shows me the data. According to some documentation it seems to be a security related issue. Documentation says that in preview tab, it only loads the report without implementing any security, but in case of external preview, it loads all the security.
