• Windows Forms AutoScrollMinSize doesn't set the scrollbar sizes correctly

  Hi, Did a search and can't seem to find an answer. I've got a custom paint control (derived from UserControl) that has AutoScroll to true. I hide and show containers (for navigation) and embed several versions of the custom control in there. I'm setting the AutoScrollMinSize and the size of the scroll seems to reflect changes to the view settings (the nofification works and the resize seems to be correct) but the scroll bars don't resize even though they should. The scrollbars resize correctly on a control that isn't shown, but not on the active control. The size is correct and I've even tried resizing the control to see what happens, but nothing. Can I force a resize of the scroll bars in some other way Does any one have any ...Show All

• SQL Server Howto impersonate code to use specific role in SQL2005

  Hi there, in SQL2000 Analysis Services I used a very complex script to authenticate as a specific user/role to create offline graphs and Pivot-Table pictures via script for users concerning their own security rights. I read out the role of this user and used the security settings within this role to filter the owc-element so that the user only gets to see the elements/data he is allowed to. This was necessary since the script (DTS) was run with administrative rights and therefore had access to all data. I built a serverside OWC, applied the security-filtering, exported to excel or picture and sent it via email as subscription. now for the question: Is there any way to tell a script to use a specific role when accessing the c ...Show All

• SQL Server Couple of questions over SSRS over SSAS

  I've created a sales analysis cube using SQL Server 2005 and want to do some reporting using SSRS. My problems are as follow: 1. How can I change the report parameter from a Date type into a member of the Date dimension I need to do this because it's easier for business user to select the date and I can set a sensible default to it. 2. How can I create a hourly sales analysis report for all branches If I add a chart into SSRS, I will get all shop data summing up right now into a single chart. Instead, I would like to have a chart for each branch. My business user will not accept to manually select different branch and generate the required chart. 3. How can I add a percentage to the corresponding value My business user may want to view the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't Set ToolStripProgressBar Width

  Hello, I have a StatusStrip on a form that's 700 pixels wide. On the left I have a ToolStripStatusLabel, in the center a ToolStripProgressBar, and on the right a few more ToolStripStatusLabels. The first Label is 200 pixels wide, the ProgressBar is 400, and the remaining Labels take up the rest of the space (all Spring properties are set to False). In the Form.Resize event I'm trying this: prgProgress.Width = Me.Width - 300 But no matter what I set the Width property to at runtime, the size of the progress bar doesn't change. Naturally I can set its width just fine at design time. Help! Thanks. Hi, have you tried changing the ProgressBar's width (which is "inside" the ToolStripProgressBar) prgProgress.Pro ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS plug-in for Lotus Notes not working

  I have istalled WDS 2.65 and the lotus notes plug-in, I didn't find any option to specify which databases WDS would index. WDS indexed all files under Notes dirctory, it found the notes directory, however it didn't index any thing inside Notes database. Is there a place I could specify the databases to be indexed And how could I make WDS to index messages inside a Notes database Thanks. Paul: Thanks for the reply. So now WDS will only search user's local mailbox if there is no local mailbox, then it won't search anything inside a database yet. How does it grab the name of local mailbox from location documents or from notes.ini. As notes.ini may not have local mailbox information, so it shoul ...Show All
