• SQL Server Dynamic Security Stored Procedure Repeatedly Called

  I have implemented an SSAS stored procedure for dynamic security and I call this stored procedure to obtain the allowed set filter. To my supprise, the stored procedure is being called repeatedly many times (more than 10) upon establishing the user session. Why is this happening > Would you mind eleborating more about the table idea Do you mean a new dimension table that will slice the fact table or do you refer to a many-to-many dimension Since it seems that the information about which users can see which members is already stored in the table, you could build an aux measure group with User dimension and your dimension included, and then use something like Exists(MyDimension.MyAttribute.MyAttri ...Show All

• Visual C++ debugger error

  It's called "No Debugging Information" error. It says "Debugging information for 'name.exe' cannot be found or does not match. Binary was not built with debugging information." I get this when ever I hit the debugging button. Can anyone help me with this That is done automatically. You just have to make sure that you use the pdb that was built together with your exe. You can't use an old pdb with a new exe or vice versa. -- SvenC ...Show All

• .NET Development Signing and sending email with S/MIME (X509)

  I would like to sign and send email using an X509 certificate (or even PGP). However, I have been unable to determine the proper way of intermingling the crypto and mail APIs. I figure one can use the System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.SignedCms to encapsulate the signed content and the System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 to read and obtain the private signing key. However, I have not determined the proper way to format an S/MIME encoded message using the System.Net.Mail API. Would someone be gracious enough to provide me a code snippet that demonstrates cooperation among these disparate APIs This use to be possible using CDO, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb%3ben-us%3b280391 .

• .NET Development WSDL Redefining a string parameter, is there a way?

  I am working on a project where I have a general web service call that accepts 2 string parameters for input and 2 string parameters as the returned result. However, I am defining a large number of API's behind the main exposed web service call that interprets and defines the strings differently dependent on the need. In order to make it easier for others to interface to my service, I was trying to find some way to add these definition to the proxy class...my initial attempt was through the WSDL. I have successfully been able to create a close of the actual service WSDL different definitions of the string parameters but my calls using the proxy created from my cloned WSDL fail with an HTTP: 400 error. Is there any way around this or any ot ...Show All

  I would like to use the BarcodeGenerator Class, located in the Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.PolicyFeatures namespace.

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 FTP Security Issue

  I have run into a security hole in my ftp site that has only now become a problem with IE7. The structure of my ftp directory involes several streaming media folders and a Client folder in the root directory. The contents of the client folder and its children are all password protected. Inside these folders I upload content for my clients to view approvals and allow them to upload files for my own use. The root directory has read-only permissions for everybody because of the streaming content I am hosting. In the past when a client logs into their ftp folder, the password protected nature of the client folder prevents them from moving up in the hierarchy outside of their folder. In IE7 however, I have found that a client can now leave he ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office About contextual menu for contact window

  hi all, Can we add contextual menu for outlook-2003 contacts window using vb.net.if so please help me.it is very urgent. regards ravindra In versions before Outlook 2007, Outlook does not directly expose the right-click context menu in its CommandBars collection. You will, however, see a new right-click command is when the item selected is using a custom form that includes one or more custom actions. You can also add a custom action without using a custom form, as demonstrated at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx id=526 Richard Kagerer has posted a code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx id=314 that shows how you might trick Outlook into exposing the context menu thr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a windows service to run DOS commands

  First off apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Any ideas on how I can do this. Is it possible even. I would prefer to imbed the DOS commands inside the C# rather than reading from a file. Hopefully someone has done something like this before and can offer advice. One thing though. How do I run more than one command against the same MS DOS process. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("cmd", @"/c help"); These commands call separate MS DOS processes System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("cmd", @" /c time"); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("cmd", @"/c date"); I'm just using these commands as an example. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bitmap Images

  Hi there! I am making images out of data arrays, and then displaying them in a form inside a picture box. The thing is, the display seems to be interpolating between pixel values in order to smooth out the image, to make it look better I guess. But I actually want a purely pixelated image, so that each pixel looks like a square block of a single colour (gray scale actually). I havent been able to find any setting or methods in the bitmap class to change the interpolation method, so if anyone can help me out that'd be great! Thanks a lot Joe So, I dont think it is the bitmap that needs fixing. I think it is the viewer itself thats decides to do the interpolation or not, but there are no property settings fo ...Show All
