• SQL Server Pass XML Data to use as Data Source?

  Hello, Is it possible to pass an XML document as a string parameter to a Reporting Services 2005 report and use this report as a data source for the report I know you can source from a web service, the problem is that the effort needed to convert what I have into a web service will be more than we would like to take on. Instead, I am trying to pass an XML structure as a string parameter to a report and then setting the Command Text like so: <Query><XmlData>Parameters!XmlData.Value</XmlData><ElementPath>MyRootElement</ElementPath></Query> TIA!!! It will run in the designer preview or a published report. However, the report designer query window/data tab does not have the ability to parse ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System unit test errors and debugging

  When I debug a unit test, any errors that occur has I step through are not displayed in any manner. Instead of notifying of an error the test just falls through and is reported as failed. How do I see errors as I step through while debugging a unit test Let me clarify my questions.. 1. Are you using NUnit for the unit tests 2. If you are using NUnit and want to debug means, you have to ATTACH THE PROCESS - Nunit with the VSTS ide itself so that you can debug the NUnit test cases also in VSTS. 3. If you are using the VSTS for unit tests means, you can debug the test cases normally as you are doing in any windows applications or web app. It shouldn't create a any problem at all...since i am using ...Show All

• .NET Development Object Allocation Performance

  I have been implementing a geometrical algorithm in C#. The algorithm performs boolean operation on triangle meshes of arbitrary size. This implies that meshes sometimes get rather large (500,000-1,000,000 triangles) and as a result a lot of objects need to be allocated (triangles and vertices of the mesh). The allocation seems to be the primary bottle neck of the algorithm, instead of the very large amount of arithmetic computations. So my question is if there is any way to fasten or tweak the allocation of such a large amount of objects (avoiding the managed heap by using structs is of course not an option as the vertices are not unique for each triangle neither are triangle adjacencies). Pre-allocat ...Show All
