• SQL Server How to display unknown data of fact table?

  I have the following question: When there is a fact and dimension tables with a regular relationship and the fact table has some records that are not covered by this relationship, is there a way to display the data as unknown In my case there is fact table "A" with "AppId" column and dimension table "B" with "AppId" PK, there is no relationship between the 2 tables, because not all "AppId" fields of table A exist in table B. Is there a way to display ALL the data from fact table A, including these records with unexistent "AppId" field Based on this past post from the SQL Server OLAP newgroup, this seems to be a known issue (don't know if ...Show All

• Visual Studio Double-click to View Code?

  Can I configure VS 2005 so that when I double-click on a .cs file that has an associated form it will open the code view rather than the form design view Once the form is substantially done I rarely open it again but the code view is opened routinely. I know how to set it locally: right click the file in the Solution Explorer pane, select Open With, choose CSharp Editor (not Form Editor), then click Set as Default. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Timer tick count

  Hi, I am having this annoying problem with incrementation of int values in timers. int i = 0; private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { i++; } The output of i is 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on. There is some strange double increment for every time the timer ticks. It is a Systems.Windows.Forms Timer. My questions are: 1. Is there some already implemented tick count I can use 2. It seems like some method calls from inside the timer1_Tick method (or all method calls in there, possibly) are also called twice in every tick. Just like the i++. How can I prevent this Thanks Olle Hi Olle, your code is correct, and the behaviour is strange! i think the problem is on the output method, i think it displays the output after the tim ...Show All

• SQL Server Dropdown parameter in Report Builder

  Hi, Is it possible to create a dropdown parameter in Report Builder The result I want to get is (for example): The parameter is "Project". Next to the parameter should be a dropdown box from where I can select a project (for example: project1, project2, ...). Once the parameter is selected, and I click "view report", the report should only display data from the selected project. The only other options available in the Filter dialog screen are: "Field" is in list "Field" contains "Field" equals But none of these methods of creating a parameter generate a dropdownbox from where items can be selected, equal to those in the database. So ... is it even possible to create a dropdown p ...Show All

• Visual C++ what is Deep Copy, shallow copy and bitwises copy.?

  what is Deep Copy, shallow copy and bitwises copy. is there any difference between them... help me. manish Shallow copy means, just bitwise copy the  objects. Deep copy means copying the content of the pointers present in your object i.e. class A {     int* p; }; main() {     A a, b;     a = b; // now a->p and b->p will point to the same location since it is bitwise copy which is not safe }   but if you define class A {     int* p;     int nSize;    operator = (A& a)    {        if(p != NULL)           delete []p; &nb ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .x mesh file loading spend too much time, any solutions?

  I built a very complex model, with almost 600'000 faces, after I optimized it, remains 90'000 faces, and I converted to .x file, whether binary or ascii format, the loading takes too much time, almost 40 seconds, but the other software like deep exploration, open it in a flash time, is there any solution to improve the loading speed Thanks. Thank you, but that remains useless. and that code comes from dxut's CDXUTMesh::Create, the pAdjacencyBuffer will be used in OptimizeInplace method. I think loading the .x file format likes reinterpreting, that's why reading .x so slow. may be use another file format like .3ds will be better. but I didn't find a suitable .3ds loader, I found many, stable lo ...Show All

So for example if I have "1/1/2006" and say "10:00:000 PM" it'll be combined to look like the long time format without using string concatenation. I don't remember the keyword used for this.

• Visual C++ c++/cli wrapper assembly fails to load
