• SQL Server How to refer to the whole cube while using the filter of the cube browser?

  Hello! I've got an accounting cube with balances as measures and amongst others a time dimension. There's also a calculated member which should show the balance of the previous year. This calculated member uses the PARALLELPERIOD-function. So far everything works fine! But while using the filter of the cube browser and selecting a certain year, I can't refer to other years than the selected year. So how can I get the balance of the previous year Thanks for any help! Ok, there seems to be no solution which makes my calculated measure working properly. Right now I'm testing a beta version of Excel 2007 as BI frontend tool to see how it deals with this problem. Thank you very much for help! ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting the client printer names in a web application

  Hi, I need help. I am currently developing a web application to print a crystal report directly to the client's printer. The application works well in my pc but when I port the application to our web server, instead of retrieving the printer list in client's pc, the application is trying to look for printers that are installed in the server machine. I developed my application using C# and I am using System.Drawing.Printing. PrinterSettings .InstalledPrinters to retrieve the printer list I realised it only trying to retrieve printer installed in the local machine. Is there any way to get the list of installed printer in the client computer Thanks in advance. I don't want to say "NO" but neither "YE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office minumum cell width is limited by margins and setting margins to 0 does not seem work properly from VS 2005.

  Hi, From word 2003 If i create a table and set the cell margins to 0 I can make the width of a column as small as I want. (the minumum is otherwise limited by the cell margins) However I have an issue doing the same thing from visual studio 2005. Using Microsoft.office.interop I set the LeftPadding and RightPadding table properties to 0.0 and this seems to work fine. However. It seems I still cannot set the width of the column less than the default cell margins! Even going through word 2003, and manually selecting the table properties I can see that the cell margins have been set to 0.0, but I cannot slide the column width to be less than the default margin size. Has anyone come accross this problem before Any Ideas to fi ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems with a callback

  My problem is that using sockets to send and receive Strings.. I have the Connect Sub that calls Clientsocket.BeginConnect(EP, AddressOf ConnectCallback, Nothing) and the ConnectCallback calls Clientsocket.BeginReceive(bytes, 0, bytes.Length, SocketFlags.None, _ AddressOf ReceiveCallBack, bytes) And ReceiveCallback, before calling himself to receive another String, calls a delegate Dim dlg As New OneStringDelegate(AddressOf DisplayReceivedData) And DisplayReceivedData calls a function in a Form that tries to add the string to a ListBox, but.. The string doesn't appear in the list. If in that Function I do a MsgBox(data) it shows it, but if I do ListBox1.Items.Add(data) it doesn't. Why is this happening ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Humongous Javascript Api File.

  Hi, I am using v4 of the virtual earth control. But each time I open the page to view the map, it takes an age to load. I've used fiddler to detect the file sizes, and it seems the main file with the core script in it is 436,179 bytes, which seems huge. http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js -- 168 http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31 -- 436,179 Also the files are set to not cache, which means the files have to be downloaded each time! I checked the files for maps.local.live.com and it does not download one big file, but instead multiple small files. Ive summed the bytes for the whole page, which comes to about 582,228, but the actual mapping components only seem to add up to ~178,000 bytes, which ...Show All
