• SQL Server Deregistering the SPN after installing SP1

  I'm running the evaluation software on a development machine running XP and everything was fine until I installed SP1. Now I can't get services to run, and the error log displays: "The SQL Network Interface library could not deregister the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x2098. Administrator should deregister this SPN manually to avoid client authentication errors." Looking through previous questions, I see similar issues where the SPN needs to be deregistered, but my problem looks different; I can't even load services on local only. I'm downloading the SP2 from November, but thought I'd see if anyone else is/has had similar issues. This is what Microsof ...Show All

• SQL Server Many-to-many dimension processing performance

  Hello, I have a problem regarding M2M dimension processing performance that I would like some help with please. We are using SSAS 2005 SP1 Entreprise Edition x64 bit The main fact table has over a 100 milliion rows. The entire SSAS database, both dims and facts, are MOLAP. We have several many-to-many (M2M) dimensions connected to the main fact table via an intermediate measure group (IMG). The M2M dim and the IMG are using the same database object as their source and are thus linked as fact relationship. This shared object is a 'normal' view not a table or indexed view. We need to be able to process the M2M dim on a regular basis as user defined members change - sometimes every few minutes. To do this we need to 1. Process Update the M2 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. saving and loading files in XNA

  Incredibly this topic does not seem to be covered in the XNA help - well it sort of is, but with sample code that doesn't compile and isn't complete - not to mention the helpfiles respond with information about save games instead of actual file handling (ie level data and so forth - the real meat and veg of file handling in a game) So here's my question - where do I look in the xna or c# docs for proper samples of saving out a binary or text file containing data I've created myself, and for loading it back in again - from wherever the game is located - I'm not yet interested in saving save-game files from the xbox 360 hard disk. Obviously I've tried typing "file handling", "saving files" and so forth into the xna hel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What is the difference between VB Express, VB Studio and VB .Net?

  The title says it - what is the difference between these Would I be right in saying that VB Express is a stripped down version of VB (like outlook express is a stripped down version of outlook) - and that VB.net is VB with the .net framework incorporated into it Also, what is visual Studio Thanks for your advice!!! Steve Thanks Renee, I appreciate your reply. The instructions said I also had to load .net for the programmes to work - does this mean I have VB.net (express) I must have Visual Studio Express because I have VB, c#, c+, Java on one cd - are they all .net programmes Again, thanks very much!!

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Add-in

  Hello, I am trying to create an action pane for excel. Just installed VSTO 2005, but do not know where to start. Any suggestions Matt Hi Matt Just to avoid confusion: VSTO 2005 can't create add-ins for any application but Outlook. It creates document- / template-specific solutions for Word and Excel 2003, but not application-wide add-ins. This functionality is planned for VSTO v.3 together with Office 2007, currently available as a technical preview (see the posts at the top of this forum). Currently, it's not possible to create an application-wide actions pane for Excel or Word. For information on how to get started with action panes in a VSTO solution, see http://msdn2.microso ...Show All
