• SQL Server exporting an analysis server db from one server to another

  how do i export an analysis services from one server to another i recently upgraded from analysis services 2000, so i didnt create the analysis services database and cubes in server 2005. Remember how you could save your db in analysis server 2000 as a cab file. is there any way to do that in analysis server 2005, so that i could simply then copy teh file over to a new server and add it In BI-Dev studio there is a project/template where you can import and generate scripts for that SSAS2005 cube to a project/script. If you successfully import this you will have scripts that you can deploy to a second server. The other way is the Deployment Wiza ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption - importing keys

  Is it possible to load data into MSSQL 2005 that has been encrypted externally with a symmetric key algorithm, such as AES, and then import the key to SQL Server After browsing through Books Online, I don't see any way to import a symmetric key from an external file, but maybe I'm missing something. If your primary concern is protecting data in transit, you should be able to use SSL to accomplish this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067.aspx Sung ...Show All

• Windows Forms Uninstall old application before installing via setup project msi?

  Is it possible to have a custom action run BEFORE the files are installed using a VS2005 setup project I need to uninstall any old versions of our software written in VB6 before installing the newer .NET version and so far I've only been able to do this AFTER the .NET files are installed which creates some problems. I suspect it isn't possible to do this except through WiX or some other more robust msi creation process but a setup project would be simpler. Thanks! Was that older product installed with an MSI setup If so, RemovePreviousVersions will work if you know the UpgradeCode of the older setup. Otherwise yes, you're right, Visual Studio custom actions run too late. ...Show All

• Visual C# how to write text to desktop wallpaper

  Hi, Does anybody know how to write some text to the desktop background. Currently, I can write some text to the current wallpaper image file and then use SystemParametersInfo to display the new image...but that doesn't seem to be a good way to do so because the text format will be changed according to the setting of the screen resolution and the position property (center, stretch, tile). Is there any way to output the text directly to the desktop without touching the background image Thanks.   SalvaPatuel wrote: Thanks for the point,  I thought it was obvious that eveytime that you paint something on windows you will need to re paint once the region is invalidated. ...Show All
