• Windows Forms Setting form culture

  HI When using the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, it will change the whole program's culture. I am wondering if it is possible to set a the culture for each form separately My goal is that two separate form can run on two different languages at a time Thanks Hi, Sorry about this, but i could not understand the below scenario. Could you please explain the scenario more clearly... "I tried using just one culture but there are case where it just did not work when i tried switching the culture becuase there are subform that can be loaded from the form where the language would also have to match. " thank you, bhanu. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL backup (bak) fragmentation

  We backup a lot of SQL databases. The db admin uses SQL to dump the databases to a *.bak file on a network share, then we pick them up to tape. The problem is that for some reason, the backup files are MASSIVELY fragmented, which kills our backup speed to tape (via Netbackup Enterprise). If I defragment the drive (via the built-in tool on Win2K3 or PerfectDisk 8) our speed to tape more than doubles (can go from 16MB/sec to 36MB/sec). However, after the next SQL backup, the drive is completley fragmented once again (around 70%). Is there any way to improve how these files are written to disk (to keep them relatively in one piece) For some reason it appears this is a bigger issue with the SQL backup files than any other file type.

• SQL Server Assigning default aggregate function to calculated member

  Is there any way to assign a default aggregate function (e.g. SUM) to a calculated member just like we can do this with a regular measure What I need to do is assign a custom calculation in my calculated member at the lowest grain (e.g. scoped at Date.Members and Customer.Members). Everything above this should be summed by default, e.g. Sales Territory. Unfortunatelly, it is not possible to assign aggregation function to calculated members. If you need to aggregate them - you will have to do it manually with MDX. The workaround is to use regular dimension members without data instead of calculated members, and assign MDX expressions to them. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to show continuous dimension with data?

  I'm working on a report as following using data from SSAS. I have created the cube with amount as the fact and the time range as a dimension. Shop A Time Amount 9:00 ~ 10:00 100 10:00 ~ 11:00 200 11:00 ~ 12:00 300 12:00 ~ 13:00 400 Shop B Time Amount 10:00 ~ 11:00 100 11:00 ~ 12:00 200 12:00 ~ 13:00 300 On the first column, I need to show the time series. The second column is a sales amount. The problem is if there are no sales within that period. The row will become invisible. So, I use the include empty cells in the "Data" tab. However, Shop A and B open and close at different time. If I use the include empty cells option, those non-opening hour will have a empty row. Moreov ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you get the last child of a report parameter to show up as a default

  Dataset "FromTimeDimension" is a report parameter and has values (yyyymm)= 200601,200602,200603,2000604....... I would like to always have the default for this parameter to always be the latest month...ie November is the most recent month in our cube, so I would want the parameter to default to "200611". However, when I try to use the "last" function, the error says that aggregate function cannot be used. Either create a separate query/dataset that brings back just the value for the default or add a calculated member to your original query that will bring back the value of the defult as a separate column (this should show the same value for each row and then use that column as ...Show All
