• SQL Server Member Properties

  Hi How to create a member properties in AS 2005 Regards Interesting answere Edward. I refer to member properties in a general BI design way. If so you can say that member properties are attributes that do not form a natural hierarchy, like the color of a product. In this case the attribute hierarchies will qualify as member properties. You can use an attribute as a member property, in the way you describe it, only to sort another attribute and without showing it in the dimension. If I show an attribute as an informative box on another attribute or as an attribute hierarchy is really not that important. I can show color as an information box on the leaf members in the product dimension or I can combine the attribute hierar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Cabwiz and Registry Settings: trying to add double-quotes to data

  I have a situation where I need to set a default registry setting (type REG_SZ ) and have it include double-quotes and a percent sign - wceload.exe "%1" Here's how I have it setup; HKCR,cabfile\Shell\Open\Command,,0x00000000,wceload.exe "%%1" Everything builds ok, but cabwiz strips the double-quotes away and I do not know how to make them stay ( ) Is there a cabwiz command or escape sequence to allow this Christopher - you rock!

• .NET Development When is required a system reboot for a .NET application?

  Hello guys, Do you know of a checklist of what circustances may require to restart your system after installing a .NET Framework application This is my case: I have a .NET Framework application that is installed using an InstallShield basic MSI project, together with the application, a .NET windows service is also installed.

• Visual Studio Express Editions allow drag drop on a bmp on form

  I set an image on the form (no picturebox or panel) and can draw on it with mouse. I wanted to be able to drag and drop an arrow onto the bmp also.

• Visual Studio Team System Is Team System just for .NET developers?

  We have both .NET developers, and developers using other platforms at our company. Will the Team System work for everyone, or is it primarily for .NET/Visual Studio developers I haven't been able to locate any specific IDE requirements or info on what development platforms are supported. Bob, Team System is made up of serveral parts. A lot of functionality has been added to Visual Studio 2005 in the various flavours of the Visual Studio Team System. However, the glue that holds the whole team development togther is Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS).

• Windows Forms How dos tooltip works

  Hi Noamlly i use msgbox to tell something about the field the user shall write somethning about in Can i use tolltip her Or something else Alvin not sure I follow. If I understand correctly, you wish to set tooltip text for a control, such as a textbox, to notify the user on what they need to type/helpful hints correct if so then try this: in the textbox mouseHover event, create a tooltip which will show the tooltip on the textbox. So once this event has been implemented then use the tooltip object to show the tooltip text: Dim theToolTip as new ToolTip() theToolTip.SetToolTip(Me.theTextBox, " your tooltip text here ") does this help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions PictureBox StretchImage problem

  I am working on a small image editing application and in this code, the user selects an image then clicks on colors in the image to make those colors transparent. When the ZoomIn button is clicked, the picturebox is enlarged by 50 pixels in height and width, the picturebox is set to StretchImage. When the ZoomOut button is clicked, the picturebox and image go back to their original size. The picturebox is enlarged and the image stretched so the user is able to better see which colors they are clicking. Everything works fine except when the image is stretched and the user clicks on it, the application behaves as thought the image wasn't stretched at all, but is in it's original position in the picturebox. That means, for example, if the ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Expression help

  I'm using Microsofts Business Scorecard Manager to create scorecards. The product allows you to define your actuals and targes as MDX expressions. I think that they have to be in the form of tuples since the GUI's label says "MDX Tuple Formula", but I'm not sure because there is virtually no documentation that is really explanitory. I have created a tuple expression that points to the data that I need (below). However, do to my lack of experience with MDX and its functions, I'm having to hardcode the lag. What I really want is the last non empty cell. I'm pretty sure there is some easy way to get to it but I can't figure it out.
