Is it possible If so, can any give me some help in achieving the same To give you all a more clearer picture, we have a dotnet application which calls a stored procedure. After that, the same application calls a webservice to purge its cache.

Hence, my question above. An early response will be highly appreciated. Thanks Sekhar PC I'm not sure I am fully understa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Preparation script - One time execution

  Hi, Before I run any of the Unit Tests / Load Tests - I want to perform the following operations (only one time) 1) Create a Test Database on SQL Server (CreateDB.cmd) 2) Create stored procedures used in the Tests in that Test Database (CreateSP.cmd) 3) Populate the database tables with sample test records. (PopulateSampleData.cmd) 4) Run some cleanup scripts on all agents. (OneTimeAgentCleanUp.cmd) In the test configuration - there is a provision for "Setup and Cleanup scripts". The problem with that is that the scripts specified in "Setup and Cleanup scripts" are run everytime whenever a test is executed but I want to do the above operations only when I prefer to recreate the test environment.

• SQL Server How to give "public" access to cubes

  Hi, I'm deploying cubes over an intranet on web pages using OWC (OWC11). We can create roles to restrict access to dimensions or even the whole cube itself. On the intranet I must give access to everyone, that is users who are not registered on AS2005 Server. How can I give an Anonymous access over my cubes to my cube readers such that anyone can view the cube I've created a role named "public" in which I've added Anonymous Logon but OWC still denies access to non registered users. Thanks. Try and change RequireClientAuthentication Analysis Serverv property.

• .NET Development StreamReader.ReadLine() breaks at single carriage return

  The StreamReader.ReadLine() documentation states that "A line is defined as a sequence of characters followed by a line feed ("\n") or a carriage return immediately followed by a line feed ("\r\n").". That means a line should not terminate at a carriage return alone "\r". But it does. Complete console application follows. It is not possible to read a line from a file that contains a carriage return "\r". It breaks on every carriage return. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO; namespace ReadLineBug { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { const string fileName = @"C:\Tes ...Show All

• .NET Development IO.Package not compressing every file in the package?

  I've been experimenting with the IO.Packaging capability (Package, PackagePart, etc.), and one oddity I've noticed is that not every "part" in the package is getting compressed. For example, if I rename the package file to .zip and open it up, the compression factor is 0% for many of the files in the package. When you create a package part, you specify the compression type to use (e.g. Fast, SuperFast, etc.). I'm setting this on every package part I add. In my example, my package parts consist of: a) some XML files (some are quite large), b) a binary file (.bin), c) some application-specific binary files (.abc). There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. For example, it will compress some of the XML files, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [Help]Service call from a callback handler

  There are couple of client applications connected to the server. When one of client program submits the request to server, for instance, changing or deleting an entity, the server program will process related data, and then call back to all the clients (broadcast) to notify the data changes. To use less communication, in the callback, not the entire changed object is transferred to client. Instead, the callback simply passes the ID of the changed entity to client side. When client is interested in that change, it then ask server for the whole object; otherwise, the callback will do nothing. The reason for this is because some object is quite large in my system. Here is my issue. For example, client A submitted a request to server. After ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions activating a file on a remote computer

  how can i activate a file on a remote computer inside a lan connection i dont want the users to be administrators on this computer, instead i would like to insert the administrator user and password to the code. (the idea is to restart an application from a remote computer by any user who uses this program) there are 2 things in your code that i don't understand (maybe because i'm not fimiliar with v.b) 1. why do you use the process to run,theconnection as arrays and nos as strings and don't you need a loop to give them values 2. thescope already contains the path to the file and the connection options so what do you need "theclass" for and what does: "new Management ...Show All
