• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Design question (data binding) -- suggestions?

  Hi all -- if anyone has any ideas on how to solve this, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm somewhat stumped. Let's say I have a class Home, which has several properties, one of which is a collection of Rooms. Each Room in turn has several properties. The main window UI has Bindings to the Home, and possibly to some of the Rooms. Thus, as the Home's properties change, or as a Room's properties change, the UI is updated. Good stuff! NOW ... let's say that I have a modal dialog that allows you to edit a Room. This is a "standard Windows" dialog in the sense that it has OK and Cancel buttons. From the user's perspective, at least, changes made to the Room occur if and only if he or she presses the OK button. So it would seem ...Show All

• SQL Server the attributes of Fact Table could not be displayed when drill through?

  I have a question about cube drill through. In BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), I set drill through in the tab "Actions" And I add a new drill through action. "Drillthrough columns" is setting the displayed columns when I use drill through. I found that only attributes in the dimension could be displayed. How do the columns in the Fact table could be displayed In AS2005 it is 'only' possibly to drill-through to the lowest level of data that exists in the UDM (cube). Therefore, if you need to display the description, you must create a (fact) dimension on this field. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Bug in Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition ?

  I've created a simple Win32 console application. When I try to run it by Ctrl + F5 it, I get the message: "This application has failed to start because MSVCP80D .dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.". Kindly note that i am not trying to run and install my application on different machine.Also note that i've already installed SP1 of 2005 pro edition but still the problem persists. Many a times the problem is solved by the usual methods like: 1) Goto Project Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug Info (change it to No) 2) Link statically to the C++ runtime library using the /MT switch. Well there is also an alternative about Goto Project properties- ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX development on Vista

  Hello, I've installed Vista (final release version) and I'm in the process of setting up my development environment. I don't intend to move to Vista now, but I'm trying to find out if there will be any problems in doing so. I've installed Visual Studio 2005 (with SP1 and Vista update), and the DirectX SDK (I'm using the Oct 2004 SDK). I've created and built a C++ test program and everything seems fine there. However, I'm not clear on how to switch between the retail and debug versions of the runtime. When I installed the SDK, I didn't get a DirectX icon in the control panel, but I'm wondering if maybe this wasn't installed because of Vista security settings, because d3d9d.dll and d3dx9d.dll weren't placed in the Windows\System32 dire ...Show All

• .NET Development Functionality of MSCOREE.dll

  Hi Guys, any one knows the full functionality of MSCOREE.dll in .net framework Please help me to know about it. If you compile your managed code as an .exe assembly, the runtime is started automatically by mscoree.dll when the .exe is run. There is only one instance of mscoree (%windir%\system32) irrespective of the versions of CLR's installed. The MSCOREE decides what version of the CLR to load based on the assemblies manifest. In .NET Framework 2.0 unmanaged applications can host the common language runtime with control over many features of the runtime. You can replace some features, such as memory allocation, threading and assembly loading, with custom implementations. You can control the behavior of other features, receive not ...Show All
