• Visual Studio Team System nonincremental update requires all .SBR files

  Sometimes if I stop a build before it's finished, I get errors like this in some C++ projects: BSCMAKE : warning BK4502: truncated .SBR file '.\bin\Debug\csiTransactionParameters.sbr' not in X:\Build\Ascent\NightlyBuild\Binaries\Win32\Debug\/ParamContext.bsc BSCMAKE : error BK1513: nonincremental update requires all .SBR files I'm not doing clean builds and it looks like the only way to get rid of these errors is to delete all of the output files before starting the build again. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this and knows how to avoid it any way other than doing a clean build Thanks, Richard I've not heard of those errors, but I would guess that it's likely a side effect of stopping a b ...Show All

• SQL Server sql server connecting problem

  while iam trying to connect to sql server at the remote machine via tcp/ip, iam facing the problem called login user failed. Can anybody help me in this regard.... thanks alot for help Make sure you are using the OLEDB Provider and not the SQL Server Destination. The SQL Server Destination only works if you are developing on the actual SQL Server machine locally. Also make sure you have installed the Server components for SSIS on your local PC. This is in addition to installing the normal Client Tools. Hope that helps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint vs. Version Control

  I was doing some contemplating this afternoon and I started to think about Documents in a project. Team System lets you store all kinds of documents in a Sharepoint portal which allows you to check them in and out. So it has a basic version control functionality. Besides having the document available to anyone on sharepoint is there any other good reasons to have documents in Sharepoint instead in the projects Version control Does it make a difference Does sharepoint use the same data base as Version control Which would be faster and/or more efficient There's one consideration that comes to mind, which may or may not be a factor. In addition to "internal" documents (specifications, etc), there are also "e ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying cube changes to multiple sites

  Hi, How does one deploy cube changes (say adding a new field into a dimension) into multiple customer databases without overwriting their Kpis We have a SSAS application which will snap into our existing application and allow customers to define Environmental, Health & Safety Kpis. Each customer will have different Kpis, so how do we deploy incremental updates, without overwriting those Kpis I know we can download a customers SSAS database into a new VS project, and copy the Kpis into an XMLA deployment script, but that is a lot of work for each customer. What I am hoping to find is something like a SQL Script that makes the schema changes, but does not touch the data (Kpis etc.). Of course, my SQL knowledge has only got me ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. from Static to Instances?

  Hi, I have come to a point where I want to change my code from using alot of static stuff to use instances instead.

• Windows Forms Problem with transparent controls on user-drawn form

  I'm deriving a class from System.Form that overrides OnPaint to draw a gradient background. However, if I include controls on this form that use the alpha channel for transparency, the transparent portions show the form's BackColor, not the gradient that I'm drawing. The same problem exists if I set the form's background image. Am I doing something wrong, or is this unavoidable (If I derive a form from this derived form, some, but not all, transparent controls work properly.) On a related note, I'm unclear if drawing the gradient in OnPaint is the best approach. Would it be better to create a bitmap and set the form's background image I could see this improving performance, but I think it would use up a large chunk of memory to ...Show All

• Architecture DAO pattern

  Hi All, I have a question related to the DAO pattern I have seen a project in which , we had a single factory for the whole database and helper classes for supported databases. I think that would be better pattern to address transaction and connection problem compared to DAO in which we have single factory for each table. Can you please guide me what prompts us to have factories for each table rather than for whole application. What are advantages and disadvantages in these two approches Please provide me with your comments Hi DeborahK, Yes, i am asking about the same pattern's advantages and disadvantages over DAO pattern in which we create one factory for one table. If somebody c ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Service Broker : "Task Scheduler"

  Hi, I'm looking to run a "job" on a SQL database regularly (like scheduled by a "task scheduler") to updated my database. It appears I can use SQL Service broker to run such a job.
