• Visual Studio Visual Basic macro not capturing ItemAdded, ItemRemoved or ItemRenamed events

  Hello all, I've written a simple macro that displays a message box each time an event happens. This is working so far for, e.g. OnBuildDone from EnvDTE.BuildEvents. But unfortunately I cannot catch ItemAdded, ItemRemoved or ItemRenamed from EnvDTE.ProjectItemsEvents!

• SQL Server AS2005: Replacing the sole data source for existing cube?

  Does BI Dev Studio support (and if so, how) replacing the sole data source for an existing cube with a new data source As a note, this new data source is really an enhanced version of the original, but with added fields, stored procedures, etc. I imagine that, if I can do what I'm asking about above, then the DSV Refresh function will either automate, or at least document, the changes needed at DSV level to keep the cube connection valid. Question restated: DoesBI Dev Studio support (and if so, how) replacing the sole data source for an existing AS2005 cube with a new data source The best way to change the source of data for an existing OLAP or Data Mining object is simply to change the connection ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to set Default Schema for a group

• Visual Basic How to Get Version Number of Class from Within the Class?

  I want to create a method within my classes that I can call which will be added to general information in an 'About Box'. I don't know how to reference a Class's version from within the class I've put the {CraigsClass.Version.ToString} to represent what I would like to see...though this isn't a real method or property.

• SQL Server disable implicit casting

  Is there a way do disable/disallow implicit casting in Sql Server 2000 Say for example: if ' ' = 0 select getdate () This wil print out the current date and time. But ' ' (a string, varchar, whatever) is not the same type as 0 (say, int). Implicit casting is nice, but is there also an off switch I've looked at the book Itzik Ben-Gan (T-SQL Programming). On the paragraph about implicit conversion he doesn't cite any way to switch it off. He also suggests that in some case may be useful to explicit cast data to sql_variant and reports the following example, that maybe can suggest a workaround: select case when 1>1 then 10 when 1=1 then 'abc' when 1<1 the ...Show All

• SQL Server How to avoid that my application writes to Windows' EventLog?

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Default value?

  I have the below contract but it does not seem to work. When the client calls this api without specifying the optional argument instead of setting the value to the default it is always null. I have included the datacontract and a portion of the service reference from the client. The client service reference code seems to "know" that this parameter is optional but it does not seem to "know" about the default value.

• SQL Server Copying database using "Copy Database"

  I am struggling with the "Copy Database Wizard" in SQL Server 2005. I am used to working with DTS to copy data from one server to another, but with the new tools, I am having serious problems (in fact, it's unusable) 1. When copying a database using the "SQL Management Object" method, I always get errors concerning logins. If I select not to copy logins, I get errors "sp_grantdbaccess failed". If I do select to copy logins, the logins can't be created because the machine names are different (one the source machine, the login is called MACHINE1/mylogin, but on the destination machine, such a login cannot be created) 2. For small databases, I ALWAYS get the error "CREATE DATABASE failed. Primary file must be at least 3 MB to accommodat ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. text mixed with 3d

  thought id ask another question while im at it. i want to display text on the hud of my 3d engine. i did some searching and came across some of the text components out there and chose the nuclex.fonts componenet (very good imo). this works fine on its own or with other 2d objects (eg. sprites) but if i render any 3d objects, all the 3d objects have z buffer issues. i noticed this problem when i first introduced sprites into my engine and it was fixed via the spritebatch.begin methods savestatemode parameter. however, this functionality doesnt exist with the nuclex.fonts package, so my 3d objects are all screwed again. is there another option to prevent this, or can someone tell me how to manually save my renderstate and restore it after re ...Show All

• Visual C++ worker thread slowed by MFC UI interactions

  I create a SDI MFC program in which there is a worker thread to render a 3D scene. I found the rendering speed will be interupted and slowed by some UI interactions, e.g., moving the window by drag the window title, mouse move on some toolbar's buttons. However the program implemented by C win32 API has little performence decrease under the same condition.  Could you give some suggestion Thanks. I haven't manually invalidated the view or coustomized its ondraw function. I just create a 3D engine renderer(Ogre 3D engine) in the worker thread and give the HWND of the view to it. Then call the 3D engine's method "renderOneFrame" in the loop of the worker thread. I guess the engine do the ...Show All
