• SQL Server Dynamic goal for a KPI?

  Hi! I'm new in SSAS and I'm stuck. Here's my problem : The goal of my KPI has to change (every month or every year). I could enter these different values with an MDX expression such as CASE WHEN <date condition> THEN goal-1-value ... END but i'd like it (different values of the goal) to be stored in a database. So my question is : Is it possible to get back these values from an MDX expression If not is there another way to get these values from database in SSAS Thanks in advance, Philippe Assuming that you do store the goal values in a table, you coud add a measure group, with a measure for the goal value, to the cube. Then this "goal" measure can be directly accessed in MDX. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Extending Built In Packages?

  I've been searching for a way to Add SSH support to the WebDirectory Project. Is there a way to Extend webdirprj.dll or will I have to write an entire new WebDirectoryProject Package in order to add support for file systems such as SSH Thanks, Hi Darren, The extensibility of an individual package is dependent on what sort of extensibility mechanisms it provides. I am not familiar with the web directory package, but my guess is that this is not possible as there are most likely hard dependencies on the underlying file system capabilties. I'll contact the team and get you a definitive answer though. As an alternative, is there a product out there that will mount a file system over SSH as a virtual ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I reference a dynamicly created control on a tabpage?

  I have code that successfully creates a group of nested controls. A tablelayoutpanel contains two splitter panels and another tablelayout panel. There are further controls under the splitter panels, both labels and datagridviews. If I want to refer to one of these controls when I switch tabs, how do I get that reference to work I have tried: Private Sub EmpPopulate( ByVal index As Integer ) 'populate the employee list Dim name As String = "DataGridView1" & index Dim grid1 As New DataGridView grid1 = Me .TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls(name) grid1.ForeColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond End Sub As I am confident everybody sees, this causes a nullreferenceexception.

• Visual Studio Toggle Dimension

  I have a matrix report which has two dimensions: one with a subtotal and the other with a grand total. Is there a way I can toggle or hide the subtotal without hiding the dimension it is associated with For example, row data contains a FIELD1 and a FIELD2, each with their own Subtotal. However, the user wants to be able to turn off the Subtotal for FIELD2 on occasion while keeping the actual data in FIELD2. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Making MSBuild run tasks in parallel

  I do not see a reliable way of using MSBuild Engine to schedule tasks/targets in parallel. The problem is that some task/target can modify properties/items that the task/target downstream depends on. I don’t see of any easy way of finding such dependencies. (Other than batching perhaps). Am I missing something Are there any plans to add such functionality Devenv uses the same build engine (that's one of the cool parts of MSBuild :) Where things get a bit confusing is if you have native code as part of your projects. If you have native code you'll see some multi-proc stuff happening. That's because native code is built sing VCBuild, which does have some multi-proc support in it. Neil ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Issue with WPF Designer in Vista Build 5472

Even the default template (xaml code below) generated by the VS IDE is not loaded in the Design. It is showing as a black patch instead.

• .NET Development "aspnet_regiis -prov" option not working? (encrypting .config sections)

  Any idea as to why this works: aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/TestApp" And this doesn't: aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/TestApp" –prov "RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider" The only difference is the addition of the "-prov" option in the second command. In theory, both commands are equivalent, as "RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider" is the default provider (as used in the first command). It's almost as if the -prov is an unrecognized option. When I run with the second command, all I get is the list of aspnet_regiis options. Has anyone else encountered this Try putting the -prov after the -pe such as aspnet_ ...Show All

• SQL Server Attempting to transpose/pivot columns to rows... I think.

What I am trying to write is a SQL statement that will display results thus: Day1______Day2______Day3_______etc .

• Visual Studio Extending with a new Platform / Device.

  How can I introduce a new device / platform into visual studio I'm talking about the integration you see with SmartPhones, XBOX, etc. Is it even public the interface to integrate stuff like that There's another example, altho a little bit different - F#. It has source code and all, except for the imteresting part - the integration. I think it's interesting because it's using another compiler - an exe file. I dont really understand why this part of the extensibilty is kept "secret", because i would think that it'll make Visual Studio even more popular to developers - especially game developers because it will create a mechanism of compile cross-platform from inside visual studio without having to revert to some ugly and slow solu ...Show All
