• SQL Server Portfolio/Benchmark cube structure question

  I am looking for some design advice on my table structure and cube. I am working at a financial company that wants to compare portfolios to benchmarks. Both a portfolio and a benchmark have securities. For analysis purposes the benchmarks are compared to the securities on a number of levels (industry, rating, currency, country, etc.). I want to be able to show in my cube a comparison between a portfolio and a benchmark for the previously stated dimensions. Example: 4 percent of portfolio A is Autos (industry) 5 percent of the benchmark A (the benchmark for portfolio A) is Autos Two options as I see it: Have a PortfolioBenchmark Dimension (DimPortfolioBenchmark) and that my fact table will list MarketValue and Weighting (weight of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Autocomplete combobox autocompletesource bug?

  I have included steps to reconstruct the error I am getting while databinding an access database and trying to get the combobox to autocomplete. I added the datasource using Data | Add new datasource. From the datasource window I changed the field to combobox and dragdropped the combobox onto my form. Using combobox tasks, I used databinding and set the combobox's data source, display member and value member. From combobox properties I set autocomplete mode to Suggest. I set autocompletesource to ListItems When I run the form it loads fine and does exactly what I want. When I close the form I get the error(codeline in red) from autogenerated code: Cannot bind to the property or column Country on the DataSource. Paramet ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. low fps

  i'm confused about fps in my programme. i draw 200 textured triangles in 640x480 window but get only approximately 160 fps. it's strange but when i zoom out from triangles fps growth momentally, but when i close... PreferMultiSampling = false ; SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = false ; RenderState.DepthBufferWriteEnable = false ; (i need it coz, ill render triangles with transparent textures) i use DrawIndexPrimitives, i.e. useing vertex and index buffer. any ideas how to increase fps Well, there's no way to say for sure if we can't see any code. The reason that you get a faster FPS when you zoom out is that there are less pixels to send to the pixel shader, and generally just less to draw. ...Show All
