• SQL Server Getting the uniqueName and name of members in a Calculated set?

  I'm trying to do this to have a somewhat dynamic parameter value list in Reporting Services 2005. I need to be able to show Customer.Territory or a different type of Territory (this will be determined based on another parameter). When running some initial mdx I get the error: The CURRENT function cannot be invoked in this context because the 'aa' set is not in the scope. I'd prefix aa with Customer, but there are multiple attributes in Customer, and I'd then need to respecify which attribute I'd want to be accessing - this would defeat the purpose of the set. I need the ending name "aa" to always be aa (for Reporting Services), so Customer.Territory.aa or Customer.TerritoryType2.aa would not be static. with set aa ...Show All

• Visual C++ Syntax for calling down the hierarchy for virtual property or event of CLR class

  I have three CLR classes, let's call them Base, Derived, and MostDerived, with Derived derived from Base and MostDerived derived from Derived. The Base class has a virtual property and a virtual event. The Derived class does nothing with this property and event but the MostDerived class overrides each, and attempts merely to call down the hierarchy: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ref class Base { public: // Constructor, destructor, member functions etc. virtual property int AProperty { int get() { return dAProperty; } void set(int value) { dAProperty = value; } } virtual event System::EventHandler ^ AnEvent { public: void add(System::Ev ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do we use Application.doevents in window services

  Hi I have created an window application which has Application.doevents Now I am converting the application to Window services.. I find that Application.doevents is not a valid window service command. I need a similar command as that of application.doevents. You need to use the Threading Namespace... The DoEvents method simply yeilded the process so putting the currect thread to sleep would have the same effect...try System . Threading . Thread . Sleep (2000) That line stops the processing of the current thread for 2 seconds ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bounding Box of a Model after rotating (and scaling) it.

  Hello :) I was wondering how I would go about getting the (axis aligned) bounding box of a model after rotating and scaling it   Thanks for the answer CodePfo, yet I fear simply rotating the AABB is not quite what I am looking for. Rotating a model can change a model's AABB considerably. Think of a model shaped like a long tube for instance. When it is positionened along the z-axis it's bounding box is simply an unrounded version of the tube. Position the tube diagonally in the scene and the its bounding box will look completely different. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Receive IE Runtime Error after instanciating COM applicaiton and closing IE window

  I am a biggener at developing COM application. I used C# to build a very simple COM application. One COM class ComSteeringCommittee that implements one simple interface that launches a windows form.

• Windows Forms Binding text box fields to combo box selected value

  I have a small C# windows application with few text boxes and a combo box.

• Visual Studio Connection Builder

  Hello, When I add a connection tool during update of my toolbox definition the drop down list to specify connection builder is empty, however I have a number of relationships in my DSL definition. Any ideas as to why this is happening thanks Stephen Hi, A connector shape only indicates how a connection is visualized, you still should let your desinger know which modelelements can be connected. You do this by explicitly creating a connectionbuilder in the DSL explorer toolwindow. Then add a new Link Connect Directive to this new connectionbuilder and point it to the appropriate relationship. From then on you can use this connectionbuilder to configure your connectiontool.

• SQL Server Nofications assemblies not found with .net 2.0

  Hi guys, I was trying to develop a non hosted event provider and decided to use NS event object api to submit events to NS. My development system has VS 2005 and my plan is to connect to a NS instance running on a machine on the local network. But it is weird that I could not find "Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.dll" in my dev system. Does it mean to develop NS applications we need to have VS 2005 and Sql Server 2005 on same box. Also note that I have sql server express edition on my development machine and I am aware that express editions doesn't support notification services.
