• SQL Server How to control caption for the bit attribute?

  Hi Gurus, Have anybody idea how to control the caption of bit attribute The default is True/False. 1. How to force the AS to show Y/N or Yes/Now t . 2. How to force the AS to show localized bool string (Wahr/Falsch, / ). I can create table like ID Caption 0 Yes 1 No Or calculated fields in UDM but all it awkward. I have about 50 bit attributes in all my dimensions. It would be too expensive to devote so much attension to every bit attributes. If you have a table as described, with a bit column (ID in your example) and a character column with the value you want displayed (Caption in your example), then you can create the attribute in your dimension so that ...Show All

• Visual C# Making an advanced settings form

  I am working on a user interface that needs to have a form added for advanced settings for the program. I have added a button and set the event handler for the button to call up the new form, but I am unable to get the program to take any of the settings from the advanced form. Everything is under the same namespace, but it will not find them, so when I try to build my program I get an error for each time that one of the settings from the advanced tab is called out. Is there a call out that I am forgetting, or do I need to change each callout to reflect that the setting is on a different form Thanks SVandal Yes, the AdvancedForm has the x_counts numericU/D control on the AdvancedForm.cs (design).

• Smart Device Development .NETCF2 SP1 serial port memory leak

  I use .NETCF2 SP1 serial port class, my application leaks a lot. Basically, I have a GPS device on an IPAQ 2210 connected via a serial cable into com1. I use the Receive event to start a new thread. Once in it, I loop round checking for data. While not the most elegant of ways to do it, it stops new threads being created / exited every second. The port.ReadExisting seems to leak a few KB every 10 seconds or so. Any ideas SP1 applied to VS2005 and handheld.

• SQL Server ADO Recordset from SQL Task issue

  Dear Folks, I have a Foreach Loop that enumerates a set of files from an ADO recordset variable which is populated by a preceding SQL task. The query from the task that populates the recordset returns about 200 rows with one varchar field(a file path). The loop is long running, and so far it errors on the connection string populated by the enumeration variable after about an hour. The timeout for the SQL task is set to zero. Could it be the source recordset variable timing out, or could it be that the recordset is too large Thanks, Chris This is odd. there certainly could be a bug somewhere in the recordset object itself (in the interest of full disclosure, I wrote the code for the ADO Recordset object back in '96 :) ) If you d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XBAP Browser Check Sample

  Where can I find an example of a browser check for an XBAP application There is a script example on this page in msdn . If you "Publish" a project using Visual Studio, I believe it: 1) builds a setup.exe to install the .net framework for any users who don't have it already 2) builds an html page that links to the ".application" or ".xbap" if .net is installed. It will link to the setup.exe if it is not. Hope that helps. Thanks, Rob Relyea Program Manager, WPF Team http://rrelyea.spaces.live.com ...Show All
