  Hey guys, first post here :D. Im have modelled a primitive looking gentleman for my first attempt at game programming using milkshape.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Async Sockets example within another class...

  I'm trying to create a class that uses the Asynchronous Sockets Client example (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bew39x2a.aspx). I'm pretty new to WPF so I'm not totally sure how to call the dispatcher from the receive callback method in order to update the UI. I'm able to do it while the code is in a WPF Window but not when I place it in a class and then create an instance of that class. One other thing I tried was have the class inherit system.windows.window and calling the dispatcher works that way, although when I close the application I still have the class instance hanging around basically as a hidden window. I guess I'd like to find out the best way to update the UI of a window when the thread calling the dispatcher is in a ...Show All

• SQL Server SRS2000 - Same database structure, different table owner,qualifier

  Hi, I am creating reports for an application, that when installed can have various different table owners/qualifiers depending on how client created the DB. How can I create standard reports across all the DB without hardcoding the tablenames qualifier/owner in the dataset query Again the table structure remain the same just the qualifiers may be different. Any help would be great. --DCB Queries can be Expressions, so you can use string concatenation to insert the correct qualifier/owner into the query. However, this assumes that you know or can determine the qualifier/owner and can retrieve it somehow, from a parameter, or using custom code. Ian ...Show All

• SQL Server Removing a paramater gives an error

  Removing a parameter on a Reporting services report based on a 2005 AS cube results in an error: [rsParameterReference] The Value expression for the query parameter ‘KalenderHierarchieJaarMaand’ refers to a non-existing report parameter ‘KalenderHierarchieJaarMaand’. On the dataset, the parameter still exists. The error still occors after removing the parameter overhere too. Steps to reproduce: Build a raport based on a cube.

• SQL Server Virtual Memory best practices with SQL 2005?

  After having my newly installed SQL 2005 instance lock-out all connections due to an Out of Memory error during a data transformation, I decided to start looking into memory config options. (Please consider I'm primarily a SQL developer who was selected as the DBA and therefore has to manage a Windows 2003 server as well.) In my case, the SQL memory settings looked fine but Windows 2003 Server had a fixed maximum on virtual memory of 2Gig on the system partition, and no virtual memory space on the data partition. I changed it to system managed for both partitions, and it seems to be working ok now when I pull over large datasets. It still begs the question, for SQL 2005 what are the best Windows2003 memory setting (not SQL memory settin ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to access SQL SERVER 2005 with Access 2003

  I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database I went to the domain where the software resides but I don't know what steps to take I also found an interesting piece on microsoft about Kerberos, but I can't follow along according to the instructions it has.

• SQL Server 2Gb Access Database became nearly 4Gb migrated to SQL Server Express - why?

  I have just installed SQL Server Express 2005 to get around the 2Gb database size limits under Access 2003. My simple 2Gb Access database (simple meaning only 10 tables with 2-10 fields each, vast majority of the data in one of them and mainly Long Integers) became nearly 4Gb when migrated using SSMA - not great when the SQL Server Express database limit is 4Gb. Shrinking makes no difference. Can anyone suggest why in general a SQL Server Express database would be nearly twice the size as its Access equivalent. Are there some useful tricks or techniques to reduce the apparently massive overhead hi, inspect your "string" based columns to see how many of them are now nvarchar (National chars, DBCS, w ...Show All

• SQL Server Wat's the effective way to improve performance in table using indexing?

There are 5 fields within the 'transaction' table which are : - transaction_ID (PRIMARY) - transaction_Name - transaction_Date - transaction_Amount - transaction_reference Right now I would like to add indexing feature and I was wondering which use I take it as index for the effective way. Normally those summary report will sort by date. Is it take transaction_Date as non-cluster index n transaction_ID as unique cluster index. Hope able to get any assistance here. Thx a lot.
