• SQL Server Running Reporting Services with

  I have a question regarding Reporting Services:  I want to run the Reports on a system that has Oracle Database but reporting Services are not installed there. Only Application exe file will be there designed in .NET Windows Forms. Reports will  access oracle Database. The ReportViewer control is shipped with Visual Studio 2005 ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251671(VS.80).aspx ). So you'll need Visual Studio 2005 to.

• .NET Development C# - reading and writing memory for game trainer

  I'm interested in creating a small trainer for a single player game I made and want to know how to read/write memory with C# given a specific memory address. I found the memory addresses which hold the score (int '004F19EC') and player x position (float '01150630') and want to use them to produce variables in C# to track them and manipulate them. I couldn't find much info on how to do this. It seems I use the Marshal class but I'm having trouble figuring it out. If someone could show a sample of how this is done, I'd appreciate it. Marshal.Write* is for writing within your own process. If the memory is in another process, then you need to pinvoke to kernel32!WriteProcessMemory. Check out p ...Show All

• SQL Server Errors processing after adding Computed Column to Time

  SSAS 2005 SP1 I just created a computed column in my Time dimension for "Period over Period Growth %" using the Business Intelligence wizard. Now, when I try to process any cubes using this dimension or the dimension itself, I receive this error: Errors in the high-level relational engine. The 'dbo_DimTime' table is based on a named query, and contains one or more computed columns. A table based on a named query cannot contain computed columns. If the computed columns are necessary, add them to the query expression. dbo_DimeTime is not based on a named query, but all my cubes have the TimeID relationship from this dimension. 3 of these cubes are based on named queries which partion the data annually. Each cube has its ow ...Show All

• SQL Server Script task DLL reference w/o being in GAC

  I need to add a reference to a DLL from a script task. But I do not have the ability to put the DLL in the GAC. The DLL is a 3rd party DLL and they do not want to strong name it because that creates a chain effect having to strong name all DLL's that are used in their projects that share the DLL I need to refernce. Ok my question is.. Can i reference that DLL somehow in the script task by manually adding the reference at runtime I found this next snippet of code on the internet, i cant get it to work though.

• Visual C++ LNK2028 and LNK2019 when porting to managed C++

  I’m trying to convert an unmanaged C++ application that uses a third-party DLL (written in unmanaged C++) to a managed C++ application that uses the same DLL. The unmanaged app builds fine, but when trying to build the managed version of it, I’m getting the following linker errors - LNK2028, LNK2019, and LNK2001. Here is C++ snippet that reproduces some of these errors. The code may not make much sense, but you should be able to see the errors I’m getting. // MyApp.cpp : main project file. class __declspec ( dllimport ) MyBase { public : MyBase() {}; virtual ~MyBase() {} }; // Uncomment the line with __declspec (dllimport) and // comment out the line without __declspec ( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Comments not cleared after Unshelving changes

  The comment entered during the shelve process does not clear after the changes have been unshelved. I had to manually delete the comment but to find that it reappears the next day when I log back into TFS. Has anyone reported this issue Maggie Yes, I hate that. Similarly, if you shelve changes with /move (or uncheck "preserve changes locally"), it doesn't clear the comment. My bug was postponed...hopefully we'll revisit it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to execute a custom debug engine ? Thanks !

  We have already wrote a custom debug engine, using the TextInterpreter as the guide. But we always failed when try to execute it. We successful modified and compiled the MyCPrj sample project followed by the TextInterpreter tour. First we start the Visual Studio 2005 Exp hive, then we create a custom project type MyC project, next when we try to select Properties , we will hang the system. So could anyone help me to solve this issue We use Visual Studio SDK v3 and Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Thanks !!
