• .NET Development Exposing .NET classes to a Scripting Host

  Currently I am transfering an application from C++ to C# (i.e. rewriting) that creates an instance of the Microsoft Scripting Host, like in the sample " MfcAxscrVb ". (You know, such stuff like the IActiveScriptSite interface, etc.) An issue that arrises is when exposing C#-objects to the scripting host that are derived from generic classes (e.g. a class derived from List<T> ). When trying to access an instance of such a class from my VB script, the methods I try to call seem to be unavailable ("method not found"). Question: Is this a known "issue" that objects derived from generic classes cannot be exposed to and consumed from a script inside the Microsoft Scripting host Thanks Uwe If it is a g ...Show All

• Commerce Server still having an issue trying to do a PurchaseOrder.Save()

  Hello, A while back I posted this thread, which describes my problem pretty thoroughly, but I'll do it again as I'm kinda running out of ideas on how to fix it. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1068432&SiteID=1 I have a view order page which can show a customer their order. This page uses the viewstate to get the order information (from commerce server) on first page load and store the OrderGroup class (could be purchase order or basket) in viewstate, modifying it over time and allowing the user to commit all changes when the update button is pressed. This works fine in all cases for baskets, but when the order is in the purchase order state, I attempt to change the status of a line item and when the save ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Animated Collapsing Panel

  I'm trying develop a UI that contains a collapsing left panel, however even though it does work, the elements contained in the collapsing panel get scrunched up before disappearing as their parent elements width is animated to 0. I've tried setting ClipToBounds on the parent container, hoping that the elements would be clipped instead of being scrunched, but this doesn't seem to work. Could someone post a simple example of a panel or container that will clip its child elements as its width changes instead of just rearranging them Basically giving the appearance that the parent element is sliding over top of them. Thanks! Matt, Hey that worked! Not sure why I didn't think of that...tha ...Show All

• SQL Server Additive or non-additive dimension depending on the measure group

  Hi, I have a dimension called [Year of Account]. For most of my measure groups all values are additive over this dimension - no problem there. Unfortunately I have one measure group that is NOT additive over this dimension. I wanted to deal with this by removing the [Year of Account].[All] member from the dimension but I only want to remove it for this one measure group. As far as I know that's not possible. (Or am I wrong ) Any other ideas about how I should deal with this Any suggestions welcome. Thanks Jamie I think you are probably right, one possible work around would be to use an MDX script assignment to override the value in the relevant subcube so that the users did not see misleading inf ...Show All

• SQL Server High CPU utilization in SQL Server 2005 SP2 (CTP)

  Hi, We are having a big performance issue at our site. Here is the configuration of the box running SQL Server 2005: 64 bit Windows Enterprise Edition + SP1 Dual CPU, 16GB RAM RAID 1 and RAID 5 - internal SQL Server 2005 64-bit Enterprise Edition With SP2 (CTP from December) The "Lock Pages in Memory" is set and is being run under the same account that is being used to run SQL Server Services.
