• Visual Studio HideDuplicates and Extra White Space!!

  Hello All!! I am trying to create a report with 3 different groupings: A I a data data1 data2 data3 b data data1 data2 II B I have set the "HideDuplicates" property to hide any duplicates in the corresponding group. However, when the repeated data is hidden, it still leaves in the space where the data should have been if it was visible. This pushes all the other rows down and the extra space is taking up a lot of room!! I'm new at reporting services, so I was just wondering if anyone had a good solution to get rid of the extra space when the repeated grouped data hides itself. Hope this makes sense. Thank you!!! ...Show All

• SQL Server Large amount data deletion blocking other operations

  Hi Experts: We have several database linked via merge replications. Due to business requirements, we need to delete 5M rows in one table, we did it on one subscriber. However, the publisher kept uploading the deletion operations from the subscriber and blocked any downloading operation from publisher to subscriber. How can we acceralte the replications now as this has already operated in 2 days, and will continue 1-2 days Is it possible to set the publisher take the downloading before uploading How to speed up large amount data deletion operations in replication environment Thanks in advance! Ron Some things to try: 1. Use -ExchangeType 2 to run downloadonly merge. 2. Change delete_tracking property of the arti ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ExternalDataExchage object crosstalk

  I'm seeing some odd behavior with ExternalDataExchange and wondered if I was seeing the correct behavior or what. I have an app and workflow that share data objects (versus serialized XML or something). The objects, being reference types, are created on the heap and therefore are available to objects running in the same AppDomain. The issue is I expected to see the objects serialized when passing between app and workflow (or back again) such that I would have two different instances of the objects being passed. To me, this was the architectural point of ExternalDataExchange. But that's not what I'm seeing. The objects, being reference types, are merely being passed by reference, so that when they're updated in one location (say, t ...Show All

• SQL Server The Process Could Not deliver the Snapshot to the Subscriber, using WebSynchronisation 2 server setup

  I am Having trouble trying to set up SQL Server Replication Utilising Web Synchronisation Where the IIS(Web Server) is on a separate machine to the SQL Server(Publisher). I am using MSDE as the SQL Server Box, however even when I used SQLServer2000, or SQLServer2005 I have had no joy with the 2 separate Servers setup. If I have the one server then I have no problems (i.e. One Server Setup) Server A: Windows 2000, with MSDE installed enabled for Merge replication, and has a Publication set up.

• Visual C# AppDomain and WinForms performance issues...?

  I have a bootstrapper application which needs to be able to launch one of several different versions of my application (for clarity I'll call these versions the SubApp). I have chosen to do this using AppDomains... If I run my SubApp on its own (either via the exe or from the IDE) it runs perfectly and performs really well. However, when I run it inside the AppDomain from within the BootStrapper app the performance is definitely slower... The first form takes around 10 seconds to appear (a oppose to about 1 second running directly) and even after that, there is a noticeable performance degradation when loading new forms, etc... Each SubApp version sits in its own directory, so I use the following code to create the AppDomain: // Cre ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. animating textures

  Hi there - this is probably a very simple problem but I've not stumbled over the answer yet. My Art Monkey has just sent me a model with an animated gif file attached. XNA complains about this texture so presumably gifs are not yet supported. Is there a way round this For instance a simple way to apply a texture to a model, or change the UV coordinates a model is using, so I could have a big bitmap with the necessary graphics on it and just change the UV Or even some way to load a bitmap into another structure, perhaps a Texture3D, which I've just noticed, and apply it to a model. Apologies if this is painfully simple or has been covered elsewhere. Cheers Robin. Hi Jubber! I have almost ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Collation: Chinese, Japanese, Korean

  My application supports multiple languages/locales in a single database. Some of our new customers want to support Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, and German in addition to English. Supporting the Latin based languages is not a problem. But I am having trouble finding a collation sequence that allows me to store the other double byte languages in the same database correctly. I have found changing the data types from text, char, varchar to ntext, nchar, nvarchar and adding an N in front of the various strings that getting inserted seems to work: insert into CONTENTDATA (recordid, xml) values (newid(), N'<CHANNEL1><FILE1/><TEXT1><![CDATA[和 魔拉拉 的 感精神 ]]></TEXT1><TEXT3><![CDATA[和 魔拉拉 的 感精神]] ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Administrator's Guide recommends creating new Team Project if security roles are different.

  In the Administrator's Guide to Team System (TFSAdmin-v61101.chm ) in the chapter "Planning a Team Project" there is the following recommendation: -------------------------------------- Do you need different people to have different permissions Review the task assignments and security permissions for all the team project members. Determine whether: Current team project members will be performing multiple roles in the future work. The same person will need different permissions for different parts of the project. Different people will be performing the same roles as current team members. If you will have different people with different permissions working on the project, you must create a new ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions External Tools

  Help tells me to goto Tools->External Tools to add an external tool such as the resource compiler. When I click on the ellipsis I am taken to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE.

• Windows Live Developer Forums How do I know what match type the click is from?

  With Overture, you can set up your destination url's like: http://www.mysite.com/ trackingcode={ovmtc:standardcode:advancedcode:contentcode } Overture will fill the {} with whatever tracking code you specified given whatever the match type was for that impression. This way you can track your ROI at the keyword/matchtype level. How do I do this with adCenter I don't see any way of knowing what keyword the click came from along with the match type. As of right now I am going to stop development on the adCenter API, I don't see the point of integrating it with my ROI tracking software if I can't track it properly. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. Thanks. Hi, adCenter supports dynamic ...Show All

• SQL Server Out of virtual memory

  I have one package that is constantly running out of virtual memory, right now I am on a development server, running only this package. The package is moving data from one table into another on the same server in the same database. The server has 3 Gb of memory and is only running SS2005 and SSIS. I am a local admin on the server and running the package through BIDS, once again for our initial testing. I tried setting the property BufferTempStoragePath to our E drive so it can utilize the 100 Gb of free space we have but that doesn't seem to work either. I have also tried setting the MaxRowSize to many different values to no avail. I am constantly getting an error, see below for exact error, when it gets through roughly half the load. More ...Show All
