• SQL Server Member.FetchAllProperties Error

  I get "System.NotSupportedException: The method specified is not supported by the current provider." AdomdClient v8, VS 2003, SQL Server 2000 What's the cause of this and is there any way around it hello Kevin, member.FetchAllProperties() call populates the member.Properties collection. and the member.MemberProperties collection should contain the properties explicitly requested in the mdx query (in “DIMENSION PROPERTIES” clause). depending on whether you need those properties for all/many members or not, you can either request them in the query (and access them with .MemberProperties collection), or request properties for a specific(few) members afterwards by calling .FetchAllProperties() and accessing propertie ...Show All

• SQL Server Display output parameters from stored procedure

  Hi, I have a report that uses a stored procedure. The stored procedure has 3 parameters 1 input and two output and also returns a resultset. I have managed to hide the user prompt by changing the prompt for the two output parameters to an empty string. The report runs fine and the user is not prompted for these two values, however the report does not show the values that are returned by these output parameters. I could add extra fields to the resultset and not bother with the ouput parameters but this seems extremely inefficient as the resultset could contain several thousand rows and the fields would be the same for every single row. Is it possible to display output paramater values Thanks In Advance Chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms monthCalendar control advances when BoldedDates are set in DateChanged event

  I have a Windows Form application that uses the monthCalendar control. When the form is first loaded, the BoldedDates are loaded from an array of holiday dates for the current year. I check to see if the year has changed in the DateChanged event. If the year is different, I load a array of holiday dates for that year. This causes the monthCalendar control to continuously advance month-by-month. It can be stopped by clicking on the back arrow of the form; but as soon as the year changes again, the advancing or decrementing starts again. Herb What I ended up doing was to use a timer to check if the year displayed in the monthCalendar had changed. There is a slight hesitancy because the timer was set to fire only once per seco ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Poor performance caused by Frame

  Hi, I'm trying to develop a prototype of a business application. The major task is to show data from a database (e.g. a list of customers). Therefor I use asynchronous databinding like Andrew Whiddett ( http://blogs.msdn.com/karstenj/archive/2006/01/27/518499.aspx ). DispatcherPriority is 'Background'. I also added a Frame to display webpages in the application. Loading a huge amount of records from the db is guite good. But since I clicked in the toolbar on the button to show the Frame, the performance of the following operations (like to load data from the db for a listview) is getting worser. Maybe the frame does something in the background with a higher priority than the dispatcher. Is it possible to dispose the frameobject when it is ...Show All

• .NET Development Unregular behaviour from Type.GetProperties()

  After using the Type.GetProperties() heavily (needed to dynamically create types), I noticed weird errors showing up. After investigating this for QUITE a while, I realized that Type.GetProperties() seems to return the public properties of a type in different order (sometimes). anyone know of any documentation if this is supposed or not supposed to happen should one be able to rely on the PropertyInfo array having the members in the same order each time you call GetProperties Hello All. Hans: According to the docs : Remarks A property is considered public to reflection if it has at least one accessor that is public. Otherwise the property is considered private, and you must use BindingFlags.Non ...Show All

• Visual C++ Parallel Port Printing in Windows

  We have some code that prints to an LPT printer on the local computer. On some computers, the code doesn't work. It looks like some printer service is blocking or hogging the printer port and doesn't allow our code to access the port. We found that if we goto device manager and delete the LPT port and then re-detect hardware and reinstall the LPT port, then our existing printer code works (seems that frees up the port) .. but on rebooting the OS (Windows 2000) the problem reappears .. so seems that a system service on startup blocks the port. Has anyone encountered this problem Is there any to explicitly take control of the printer port .. which may or may not be blocked by another program The current code is directly writing to the por ...Show All
