• SQL Server Scheduled events along with regular events

  Hi! Does it allowable to use scheduled events and regular events together in one subscription class I get the error when I use then simultaneously. The description of error is New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. It is being generated when the rule tries to run. If I understand your question, you want to know if one subscription class can have event-driven subscriptions and scheduled-subscriptions. Is that right The answer is yes. When you define the Subscription class in the ADF, make sure you specify an EventRule and a ScheduledRule node, complete with the appropriate matching rules for each scenario. HTH.... ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I rename a file in C#?

  I realize this may sound like a pretty dumb thing to ask but, I just finished the Online Help and as a result am more confused than when I started! I went to the C# Help, set the language filter to C# found the "RenameFile Method", noted that it was a new feature of the 2.0 Framework saw the syntax was in C# . . . and that was it. Everything after that is in Visual Basic, even the Example, which wasn't very clear at all: Example This example renames the file Test.txt to SecondTest.txt . Change " C:\Test.txt " to the path and file name of the file that you want to rename. The Online help, in this case wasn't very helpful. I would really appreciate any assistance in this.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Expired timers are processed very slowly

  We have a process where thousands of workflows are created within 30 min time. Most of these processes are awakened by a delay some hours later, invoke a web service and then end. This all works perfectly, except that the workflows that expired are processed sequentially, one after the other, making the process take several hours instead of the 30 min it would take if several workflows were processed in parallel, we tested it by removing the delay. Also, because of the sequential processing, the workflows that are run last are run much later that the expiry time. This is using ManualWorkflowSchedulerService and useActiveTimers=true. Is there a way to force ManualWorkflowSchedulerService to process several expired workflows in parallel Tha ...Show All

• SQL Server loading XML

  I am trying to load many XML files into SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Each XML file contains many individual XML items, each starting with: < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > The files do not have a .xml extension. I do have a schema for the data. I can also get hold of a dtd file for the data. Since I am new both to XML and to databases I have been trying to follow examples wherever I can find them. I have not found the right example or tutorial. The closest that I found was in Kirk Haselden's book (a very nice book to learn from, by the way). On page 73 he sets up an OLE DB Source. His example works fine. But when I try to use XML Source instead of OLE DB as the source, I cannot get it to work. A typi ...Show All

• SQL Server Same cube, different answers.

  I have built a cube that consists of three tables. The first table consist of childcare facilities and is historical. The second table consist of their licenses to operate and is also historical. A facility typically has a group of licenses such as infant, toddler, schoolage, ect. and the license has an assigned maximum capacity. The third table is used to resolve the many to many relationship that exist since both tables are historical. For example, a facility's record may change over time but still have the same set of licenses. The dimensions of the cube consist of the facility dimension, the license dimension, and a fact built on max capacity. When I browse the cube from the cube designer I get one set of answers.

• Gadgets inline g:text and addGlow method

  Hi everyone, The addGlow method works perfectly when using it as in : var mytext = bgid.addTextObject('TEXT',fontfamily,textsize,fontcolor,posx,posy); mytext.addGlow('white',3,100); However, I can't seem to have it work when the gText element is "hardcoded" in the document, as in : <g:text id="mytext" class="..." style="..." onmouseover="handleglow(this)" /> With the function function handleGlow(obj) { obj.addGlow('white',3,100); } Am i doing something wrong Should I prefer the addTextObject method and then attach an event to the object thus created If so, how Thanks for your answers :) The only way to get a gText object is via addTextObject - I'd be very suprised if you actually got a hard-cod ...Show All
