• Visual Studio Tools for Office Install of Office 2007 Broke VSTO

  I recently installed Office 2007 in addition to Office 2003. That seems to have broken my VSTO, which was working before. I have now uninstalled Office 2007, Office 2003, and VSTO and reinstalled Office 2003 w/SP2 and VSTO. However I still can no longer create a VSTO Excel project. I get this error: "Project cannot be created because the application add-in is not working correctly and may have been disabled."

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The project type is not supported by this installation.

  After having installed all the RC1 parts, including "Orcas" and try to create a new project in VisualStudio 2005 (Windows Application, XAML Browser Application or Custom Control Library) I get an error message: "The project file '.....' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation." I've tried reinstalling everything but it's still giving the same error message. Could it be because I'm running a swedish version of Windows XP Although I haven't had this problem with other releases. Hmmm...this didn't do the trick for me. I was previously running June CTP (with sdk, orcas, etc). I followed all uninstall instructions beforehand, and insta ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with multiple measure groups

  Hello! I have two measure groups (MG1, MG2) with measures called M1 (inside MG1) and M2 (insideMG2). For example M1 and M2 are sales amount. The total for M1 is 150 and for M2 100. If I start my analyses with a dimension that is only related to measure group M1 I see the following behavior. Dimension M1 M2 Product A 25 100 Product B 75 100 Product C 50 100 Question 1: How can I avoid AS 2005 to repeat the total value for M2 Question 2: If I define a calculated measure that brings the value from M1 and M2 together. How can I avoid that AS 2005 calculates each cell for M2 even though M2 has no realtion to the dimension Thanks in advance ! Ole If a dimension is not related to a MG and you ...Show All

• SQL Server File and Spreadsheet Frustration

  Hi, Two problems / questions I could do with some help on please...... 1). How do you clear a spreadsheet before loading it I am sending a spreadsheet by Email on a regual basis. Each time I run my SSIS package the data is appended to that of the previous run. I need just the contents of this data load to populate the spreadsheet each time. I have tried various methods / techniques for achieveing this so I just need to know the accepted method. Sorry if this is very basic ( as it should be !) but I seem to be missing the point somewhere. 2). I have tried to resolve issue 1 above by having an empty 'template' spreadsheet and copying that one over the top of the previously populated one. I get an error saying that the source spreads ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpriteBatch - how many, and do we need to recreate them?

  Based on the SpaceWar game, I have some questions... I know it was put together quickly - I'm not trying to slag it off, and I want to learn the best way to do things :) 1. In Screen.cs, the constructors of the screen class create a SpriteBatch instance. In the OnCreateDevice() method it then re-creates them. I'm assuming the instances created in the constrructor won't get used, because the device would be created quite fast, so can they (should they) be removed 2. The OnCreateDevice method says "Re-create" in the comment - does this method get fired more than once Is this because the SpriteBatch class needs recreating each time the window is minimized or something 3. SceneItem inherits from List<SceneItem>, yet in ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2000 locked in Single User Mode

  I have gotten my production version of SQL locked into single user mode. We recently upgraded to a clustered configeration and when I went to pause the system to get control I was told Pause was not available in a clustered environment. I restarted the service with -m [single user] but couldn't run Enterprise Manager as it appeared to take the only user slot and not give me one. Then I hit on startingup with Query Analyzer and that worked but now how do I get it back into multi-user mode. I placed the -m in the settings using Enterprise manager; could I stop the service and restart at the cmd prompt using -f [minimal config] and get Enterprise manager running Any assistance appreciated.
