• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Override background color of item selected in a ListBox

  I'm trying to override the background color of the selected item in a ListBox. I started with the ListBoxStyles example in the SDK, which has some good mouseover effects. The XAML code is: <Style x:Key="Triggers" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="ListBoxItem.IsMouseOver" Value="true"> <Setter Property = "Foreground" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property = "Background" Value="LightBlue"/> <Setter Property = "FontSize" Value="14"/> <Setter Property = "FontStyle" Value="Italic"/> <Setter Property = "FontWeight" Value= ...Show All

• SQL Server Using a parent-child dimension where you track and report as per the history

  Hi, At this point, I'm simply trying to see if what I'm trying to do is possible. If anyone has tried this before, I'd appreciate to know how they've done it. Say I have a single DSV with a single table such as the following: TABLE Members ( ChildID int, ParentID int, Period datetime ) which contains data like this: ChildID ParentID Period 1 4 2006-10-01 2 4 2006-10-01 3 4 2006-10-01 4 5 2006-10-01 5 6 2006-10-01 6 NULL 2006-10-01 1 5 2006-11-01 2 4 2006-11-01 3 4 2006-11-01 4 5 2006-11-01 5 6 2006-11-01 6 NULL 2006-11-01 In words: In 2006-10-01, 4 has three childs and is under 5 which is under 6.

• SQL Server Encryption for SSAS

  I wonder if someone could give some pointers here. I do have to offer cubes through a firewall to the outside for colleagues working at clients' locations. Therefore, I chose to use the HTML feature of SSAS, I use IIS to host the msmdpump.dll and secure the access through Windows User Accounts with password. There is no encryption on this channel. I know how to set up certificates in Windows2003 and IIS to protect Websites and access them through HTTPS (SSL). I would really want to use the same for my SSAS, but whenever I shift to SSL on Port 443 I cannot connect with my Excel to the SSAS. A web page in the same folder as the msmdpump.dll is still accessible, so the certificate is installed and distributed to the client correctly, an ...Show All

  Hi; We are suddenly getting a number of problems on various systems here with the J# compiler. The result is we cannot release new versions and some developers can't do anything.

• Windows Forms Problem with databinding in a scenario where 2 comboboxes are used which have a DataRelation

  Hi, I have a form employee which is bound to a strongly typed DataTable. An employee has country and a region attribute. On the screen these are two comboboxes. The country and region comboboxes use a strongly typed dataset with a country and region datatable. The country combobox is bound to the employee datatable: comboBox1.DataSource = countryRegionDs.Country; comboBox1.DisplayMember = countryRegionDs.Country.NameColumn.Caption; comboBox1.ValueMember = countryRegionDs.Country.IdColumn.Caption; The region combobox is bound to the country/region relation: comboBox2.DataSource = countryRegionDs.Country; comboBox2.DisplayMember = "Country_Region.Name" ; comboBox2.ValueMember = "Country_Region.I ...Show All

• Visual C++ Including Winbase

  When I try to include winbase.h in on of my files, I get a lot of errors of the form error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Internal' error C2501: 'DWORD' : missing storage-class or type specifiers and so on. I looked around and found suggestions to use windows.h instead. But can anyone tell me what the problem is. Thanks, KR The problem is simply that windows.h includes a number of other headers, prior to winbase.h. Among these headers, there's the one where DWORD is defined. When you include winbase directly, the types which aren't defined will result in the compiler not being able to parse your code properly. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer -> Sharepoint binding

  For some reason the link between Team Explorer and Sharepoint appears to have broken and I can't work out how to fix it. I can access my TFS project portal from http://tfsserver/sites/project/ but if I expand the project in Team Explorer the 'Documents' folder has a red x in it and is empty and the 'Show Project Portal' option is greyed out. Interestingly, if I open Visual Studio and do not expand the project in Team Explorer but just right-click on it then 'Show Project Portal' is enabled and links to the correct place. As soon as I expand it it gets greyed out. Any ideas Hi Leon, The red-x is usually and indication that your account doesn't have access to one or more of the document libraries i ...Show All

• SQL Server Error Processingn Cube with time dimension

• Windows Forms Error when adding a user control to a form

  I've created a user control that consists of a text box and a list box. The listbox is populated by a data table that's created in the MDI parent and copied to each form as needed. In the load event of the user control, I set the datasource of the listbox to the tables defaultview, then add the sort, display and value properties. When I try to add the control to a form, I get a 'Failed to create component' white screen of death, with the message that the column name for the sort property can't be found. If I comment out the load code, I can add the control to the form. I can then uncomment the code and run the app, and the user control does exactly what it's supposed to do. First, why is the designer finding what would be a runtime e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating a Menu and Submenu Items

  Hi, I’m having a hard time trying to create a Menu and Submenu items for my addin. I know it should be simple, but somehow it doesn't work as I want. What I'm trying to achieve is that when my addin starts it creates a Menu (let say AddInSample) and some SubMenu items (lets say Item1, Item2 and Item3). Then when I want to handle the clicks on the items. The wizard of Visual Studio generates something like this, adding the Menu in Tools, but I don't know why the item is only enabled when the addin is disabled. And when I enable my addin, the item is disabled. I hope that some could help me with this, it's supposed to be simple. Thanks why not go to Carlos's site www.mztools.com . lots of resour ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to organize unit tests in tree-view way?
