• SQL Server DTS Fully process dimensions code

  Using the following code to fully process dimension in a catalog on SQL Server 2000. for each objDimension in dsoDatabase.Dimensions dsoDimension = objDimension dsoDimension.Process processFull Next However this appears to do an incremental process of dimension rather than full process. (I would expect the cubes to be unprocessed after a full process. Whats wrong with the code. Cheers. Mark. for each objDimension in dsoDatabase.Dimensions dsoDimension = objDimension dsoDimension.Process (1) Next Have tested this and believe it to work. Still do not understand why above did not work. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to create a component designer type designer?

  I'm looking for help or preferably an example in creating something that pretty much does the same thing as the Componet Designer. Ideally I would like a developer to pick my object type from the add new item class, which would create <classname>.cs/vb and <classname>.designer.cs/vb files. My user control would be created to use as the design surface, and my designer would have control over the <classname>.designer.cs/vb file using CodeDom to generate the partial class implementation. I am working on an IRootDesigner implementation right now, but I suspect that that will not be completely sufficient and I keep getting hopelessly lost looking at things like TypeCodeDomSerializer,etc. Any help is appreciated.

• Windows Forms Simple Control Binding to objects

  Ok, I feel like an idiot but I cannot get simple control binding to work. I've set up  a DataSource and mapped it to my custom object. Assigned the DataSource and the Databinding to several of the properties of the object on the actual control. But when I run the form - no databinding. What am I missing Apparently there needs to be something to trigger the binding, but looking through the method interface there appears to be nothing there... Also, anybody have a link to where databinding basics are described for Winforms 2.0 I've searched around and there are all sorts of articles that talk about list binding and using the navigator control. I'm looking for something more basic that talks just about simple control binding and manuall ...Show All

• Visual C++ Memory leak in vc2003 and vc2005

  hi i have a c++ application that does not use MFC or any windows headers. it is a console application that uses 2 external libs. namels jpeg64.dll and vl.lib [for matrices] . my application was leaking memory and i fixed most of it and the remaning leaks where fixed using insure++. But insure++ still shows memory leaking and this hapens inside the winMainCrt function, malloc.c and calloc.c, for which i have not control of. Now i tried to write a simple c/c++ program like this int main(int argc, char **argv) { return 1; } and the same leak is reported. So i went and downloaded the Borland c++ editor and then ran the same program and insure++ reported no leaks for the program above!! whts exactly is hapening here, anyone s ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro auto increment

  I have a table that I want to add a auto increment integer field. I go into the database designer, Right click on the table I want to add the field to then select modify. Then I insert a field and give it the name client_id set the type to Integer (autoinc) it defaults to a width of 4. Then I tell it to index it accending. This works but on all the existing records it sets the field to 0. If I add a new record it does increment. Thank You AutoInc fields are readonly and if you do add to an existing table then existing records are initialized to 0 (you cannot change them in a loop). However you can do this: ALTER table myTable ADD COLUMN myAIColumn i AUTOINC NEXTVALUE RECCOUNT ()+ 1 STEP 1 DEF ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Copying between textures

  Hi, I am currently working on a tile map engine and need the ability to build a texture (map) from my tile set which is a texture with all my tiles contained within it. I have been able to create a new texture but cannot see how I can copy sections of my tile set into this texture. If someone could give me some pointers, it would be much appreciated. TIA, Andy Lee, Please feel free to use the code. Using it, I have been able to complete my tile engine. Unfortunately I am finding a bit of a performance issue rendering the map when it is scrolled which I will need to look into. Any improvements I make to the previously posted code to speed it up, I will post here. Best Regards Andy ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Passing DependencyProperty parameters into a dynamically created activity?

  Our project goal is to make a Workflow Manager of sorts that will, based on a given datatype passed into the workflow via ExternalEventArgs, dynamically load the correct associated activity to complete specific business processes related to the datatype. Once the ExternalEventArg parameter is sent into the workflow, a policy determines what datatype it is and what activity to load based on the datatype. Unfortunately, due to what appear to be limitations in the Rule Set Editor, string versions of the datatypes must be used and reflective invokation of the activity was required. Dynamic loading of the activity was loosely from Lab 9 of the Windows Workflow Foundation Labs (Modifying Workflow Models at Runtime with Workflow Change) and we we ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to Merge

  I have been unable to merge changed files from a Source to a Destination. I select the Source project and Merge. I then select the Destination and tell it to use a specific changeset. The changed file then appears in the Pending Changes tab. I select the file and Check In. A resolve files dialog then appears. There are two options: Undo local changes and Igrnore Conflict. If I select Undo local changes the file disappears from Pending Changes but never is actually merged and does not appear in the History. If I select Ignore Conflict the file still appears in Pending Changes and nothing ever happens. Is this a bug and, if so, how do I work around it I tried tf merge and tf resolve and never go ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ won't run from source control: "The system cannot execute the specified program"

  Hi, I've installed VS 2005 C++ Express into source control and it won't work. I've wasted the better part of a day so far trying to get it to work.
