• SQL Server Formatting dates on a chart when sourced from SSAS2k5

  I am creating a few charts in SSRS that are sourced from a cube in AS. On the x-axis is time, which is what I assume a date-like field in the cube. On the y-axis is the measure. My problem is that I cannot seem to get the dates to format on the chart - regardless of the format code I use, the dates appear in long format, like "Thursday, November 23 2006". Are the dates from SSAS just string values Based on your query in the MDX query generator, the date time value is provided as a string to Reporting Services. That's why format codes won't work. You could look into either changing your MDX query to get the value as DateTime object (which means you have to hand-write the MDX) or you could try ...Show All

• SQL Server How to modify the query string of a dataset?

  Hi, I have a few questions. Suppose that i have a report based on this sql: Select * from table1 Now I want to be able to add a Where clause on that sql command programmatically. Like: Where name = 'Max' How can I do that Listen Ham, May be I wasn't clear about my concern. I'm using reporting services and I have an app written in VB.NET that accesses some reports from the report server. In my app, it's possible to select a report name( on Report server), select the table where data come from for that report and set a condition on one or more columns. Now I want to be able to include that condition on the report before processing without permanently afffecting the .rdl file. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Best way to handle shortcuts ?

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a good OO-way to handle keyboard shortcuts. Atm my shortcut handling code consists of a big list of if else if else statements containing switch statements (if/else to detect the modifiers, the switch statement to handle the keys) As you might have guessed, this is ugly and not very clean. I tried using a Dictionary of Keys to Action (a simple void delegate) mapping. but the problem here is that the keys pressed never match those in the dictionary because extra modifiers and flags are present. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions how to make a decent key to action mapping. Thanks, Ben. A short-cut key should always have a mouse-clickable alter ...Show All

• .NET Development FtpWebRequest dies when trying to connect to vsftpd.

  I've got an application I inherited, and it was supposed to use secure ftp to get information to an ftp server. Turns out it didn't have this option set, and when I tried to get it to connect via sftp, it failed. I've run into that problem before with http requests, so found the appropriate piece of code to accept certificates (inherited from ICertificatePolicy), and set the ServicePointManager to use my new class. Well that works, but falls over when getting the response from the ftp server (vsftpd running on linux I think). The response is; 234 Proceed with negotiation. Is there some way that I can get the FtpWebRequest class to recognise this as a valid response Thanks in advance I hav ...Show All

  Hi , I create a abstract class named as Test and add [ServiceContract] property to it, but in client I call ChannelFactory<Test> to generate proxy object, it will throw exception: ChannelFactory must use interface type,so How to create client object if I use abstractor class Thanks, Zhihao For ChannelFactory<T>, T must be an interface type. If you need the abstract class for some reason, you can always just make an interface IA with the same methods as your abstract class, move the [ServiceContract] and [OperationContract] attributes to the interface, and then have your abstract class 'Test' implement the IA interface abstract class Test : IA ... ...Show All

• Visual Basic extract portion of string

  I know that I have seen this before, however I have had no need to program it until now, but suppose that I have a string passed to a parameter such as "16.00,20.00,0.00". I need a way to extract the 'second' value (which would be 20.00) and assign it to a variable. The reason that this is a string is that no computations will be done on the integers and sometimes the value can be alphanumeric. Thanks for the help. Dim cmdsAr As String() = Split(Command(), ",") that is generally how I get the commands that are sent to a console application, so I'm sure that would probably work for you. dim str as string() = split(" 16.00,20.00,0.00", ",") str(1) 'should be th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Working with threading

  I'm very new to programming with C#, but not new to programming. I'm developing a program which will allow users to make phone calls via our phone system from Interactive Intelligence. I'm connected to the phone server via COM object. Here's what happens. The program has two threads running. One of them I start when the application runs, and the other one is started by the COM object when it receives notification of a status update on the phone call. We'll call my thread number 10, and the COM object thread 12. Thread number 10 runs without any problems. Then all of a sudden thread number 12 will get notification, and start running some code. One of the things that thread number 12 should do is change the text on a button. As s ...Show All
