• Windows Forms Help with mshtml - Deploying Software

  I've been having issues with mshtml.dll for awhile now. When vs 2005 is installed, it brings with it version 7.0 of mshtml. Developers are allowed to reference this library when developing applications, but it seems that the release of these applications (while using mshtml 7.0) will only work on computers with Visual Studio 2005 installed. Any computer without VS 2005 will have mshtml 6. Did MS do this on purpose so we cannot create controls//Applications that use the mshtml 7.0 and distribute them to our customers I've tried (with a clean XP Pro Box) to register/assign/etc. mshtml.dll 7.0 without installed .NET 2005 and it does not work. Is there anyway to do this Or will I need to create / buy a HTML Editor that doesn' ...Show All

• SQL Server Using HTTP Access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Serveices on Windows XP

  I've configured HTTP Access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Serveices on Windows XP. Can I invoke SQL 2005 Analysis Services through the web If so, what's the procedure for doing this Any information would be greatly appreciated! Hi, Not sure if you are just look for web thin clients that interfaces with AS Cubes, or you are trying to write programs that query AS over the web. If it is the former, then you can try any of the thin clients list at the Mosha's blog: http://www.mosha.com/msolap/util.htm#ThinClients I have personally used the "XMLA Browser by XMLA Consulting Inc" product listed there. It works but interface not that good.  I have also tried the open Source Java ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS data Convertion ??

  Hello all Ho can i convert Integer to String in SSIS Derived column. Thanks in Advance Raj Lakamana Is the source table in SQL Server Yes the destination table in SQL Server Yes Are you sure the data doesn't have special characters in it Did not find What code set (1252 ) are you using in your source connection 1252 except datetime and int column for 0. I used SQL Command in the source table. Just because when you look at the data it looks fine, doesn't mean it really is. Yes, assuming your data is convertible, and is not corrupt, SOME data should flow through. But then, I ask again, how are you converting the data Are you just letting the destination convert it, or do you have a Data Conversion task A der ...Show All

• SQL Server Define Pre-Calculated AVG measures?

  It is possible in SQL Server Analysis to define Pre Calculated AVG measure Because If you are defining AVG measure for Calculated member then your report performance will down, so I need Pre Calculated AVG measure. let me know anybody know any solution Dinesh Patel You may want to read this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=548837&SiteID=1 Also, I think you can get SSAS 2005 to cache results when using MDX scripts to define calculations.

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Active Desktop

  Hey all, we have a domain here with 15 clients. The policy Active Desktop Wallpaper is enabled, so the users have a default wallpaper that they can't change. But since we've installed the final release of Internet Explorer 7 it seems like that the Active Desktop just doesn't load and there appears a blue background with an image icon like in IE when it's still loading the image... Click I'm sure the path is right and nothing has been changed on the policies for a while before IE7 was installed. Does somebody how I can fix this Thanks, Snake86 Hi snake86, having the same problem.

  Problems began when I received the MSDN Final VS 2005 v8.0.50727.42 and uninstalled the RC build which I had worked with without issue and replaced it with the previously mentioned.

• Windows Forms DetailsView and Visible Property problem

  Hi, I have a field in a details view that I want to be Visable = false. So I make the field false and run the code and insert a record, it tells me the following error: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ShipKey', table 'System.dbo.ShipCartonRecord'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated." So how come this happens, how can i resolve this problem so people cannot see the field but the code will allow it to process when invisable. Tdar this has nothing to do with the visible property. You are missing a value which MUST be inserted into the ShipCartonRecord table. The field "ShipKey" MUST have a value to insert otherwise it will fail caus ...Show All

• .NET Development Serialization & Reflection

  Hi All, Do you know that if you serialize, through the automatic .NET serialization mechanism, a class from an assembly named One and try to restore it from the same assembly renamed to Two you get an exception The reason is quite obvious but I am trying to work around to this issue. I mean, if one day I will change the name to one of my DLL the customers will never be able to deserialize their files How can I avoid this Thanks a lot, Alberto Can you factor out the actual data that is passed back and forth in to a separate dll so that it can passed across multiple versions. This way you ship multiple versions of dll that merely interacts with the core da ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Wrapping a model with a repeated texture

  I have a large, nearly flat cube which represents the ground in my 3d world. I'm trying to apply a grass texture to this cube. Because of the size of the cube any applied texture stretches. Is there an easy way to repeat the texture being applied to eliminate the stretching problem I have it looking really nice in Maya, but when I export it to .x it continues to stretch a single copy of the texture across the surface. Does an operation like this require the use of HLSL I could just create a bunch of smaller cubes that are closer to the texture size and piece the ground together, but that seems like a messy way to go about it. I'm new to this, so anything to point me in the right direction would be helpful. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Field Sorting

  Is there a way to prevent Team Explorer from arranging field values alphabetically For a new bug, it severity as Critical -> High -> Low -> Medium. I'd like it to go in order of severity, not alphabetically. What you are seeing is unfortunately the designed behavior. One slightly hacky way to get an order is to append a number before each string. eg. The set of values for Severity could be "1 - Critical", "2 - High", etc. Thanks, Amit ...Show All

• SQL Server Direct vs. Indirect Package Configurations

  If your XML configuration files will be in the same location on your Development, UAT and PROD servers, is there any merit to making your configurations indirect I am modifying the connection string with the XML. My strategy is to set up an XML configuration for each database that we have. The Dev XML config will point to Development connection, UAT to UAT etc.. My thought is that by using the direct configuration it will eliminate the need for environment variables and also allow me to add configs without having to reboot the servers, which you would need to do in order to get server to recongize the EV. Thanks Dear Kirk, I got your book, and downloaded the samples. For the Config utility ...Show All

  Hi, after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters. The option to select all values are gone. Is there a bug within SP1 Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server. The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005. So long Lemmi Hello Robert.  This is really a bummer.  I have just converted over to RS 2005 (from 2000) and implemented multi-select parameters in 15+ reports.  The select all option was a great option.  Something my end users would really use and like.  No ...Show All
