• SQL Server How to use cell data security with visual totals?

  Hi, We are working on a project with SQL Server 2005 and SSAS. We created several roles using dimension security and one special role that requires cell data access permissions (i.e. cell security). This last role is giving us trouble since we do not know how to implement visual totals on cell security. A problem description follows: 1) We have a budget and expenses cube with a) Account, b) Time and c) Cost Center dimensions 2) The special role was created for a group of users who have the following requirement for data access permission: - for some cost centers, restrict access to some accounts - and for the rest of cost centers see all accounts 3) When looking at data at the cost center and account level, the role works fi ...Show All

• .NET Development Escaping decimal points in regular expressions

  I'm trying to do something that ought to be very simple. I'm trying to test whether a string (which is an argument to a command) is a valid value of the type I need. That is, I want it to be convertable to a double and be in the range 0.1-1.0. I have this line in my code: Regex ValidPause = new Regex("^((1\.0)|(0\.[1-9]))$"); The problem is that VS marks the string as bad and gives me the message "Unrecognized escape sequence." If I take out the backslashes, the red squiggly line goes away, but then it matches "0x0", which is obviously not what I want. How should I escape the decimal points correctly Hi. The correct regex is Regex ValidPause = new Regex(@"^((1 ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored proc poor performance need help with query optimization

  I currently have a stored procedure in our SQL Server 2000 environment that will run great most of the time but periodically throughout the day it will start to run poor. Once I issue an sp_recompile on one of the largest tables (NominationScheduledQuantity with 2 million rows) in the database the stored procedure runs great again. I am assuming this is because a more up to date plan was generated. The code of the stored proc is: CREATE PROCEDURE ursp_Nom_GetDisaggNominations ( @ContractID INT, @DateGasFlow DATETIME, @CycleCode CHAR(3), @FilterZeroQuantityNomFlag CHAR(1), @TransTypePooling CHAR(2), @CycleCodeTmy CHAR(3), @CycleCodeEvn CHAR(3), @CycleCodeID1 CHAR(3), @CycleCodeID2 CHAR(3) ) AS BEGIN Set NoCount On DECLARE @TodayDat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save

  How do I Save a file with out calling the dialog box, at the moment I can SaveAs the file(with dialog box) but what I'm after is when you click just save it just saves the file that is opened in its original format with any alterations that have been made. The program is a cut down version of a text editor. When you use the dialogbox you presumably have something like: If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then ' some code to save the file End If To save it without the dialogue then just put the code you run there into your Save button click event, replacing the dialog.filename property with the name of the file you opened originally.

• Windows Forms Keeping two data bindings updated.

  I have two data bindings for the same data that are not staying quite synchronized. For the main table, I have a DataGridView that is displaying all records from my table. Next to it, I have text boxes that are also bound to the data grid's data source. When I select a row on the grid, the text boxes are populated. Everyone's happy... Until I start making changes to the data. I would like to have the data showing on the grid update automatically as I type in the text boxes, and vice-versa. I'm fine adding the events to handle this, but is there a function that will force the data to update automatically, so that I don't have to manually set the values That works great to keep the data updated... Thanks! On a related note, after editi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use constructors or methods of data object with WCF service

  I have some questions regading how to use of data object using WFC Service. For example I have an object called Student (see codes below), and property IsOver25 this is readOnly property.

What should I do in order to use the methods on data object ( will not many but somes) Regards, John dang using System; using Syste ...Show All
