• Visual Studio Team System Using Functions as Form Post Parameter values?

  I have a number of Form Post Parameters in a webtest that require the current date as a value. ex: ShipDate=04 Jul 2006 Without having to generate code, is there a way that I can use Format(now(), "DD MMM YYYY") as the value you do not need to use a coded web test,but you will need to use a WebTestRequestPlugin. So you will need to write code to get this to work. Here is a help link for how to create request plugins: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182554.aspx ...Show All

• SQL Server SP1 Installation Failure for Reporting Services Instances

  The upgrade was alright for my first/default instance of reporting services but failed for the other 3 non-default instances. I was running SP1 using remote desktop connection. I got the following error at the report manager and the reporting services configuration's initialization. Is there any way to get around this The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.40'.

• SQL Server Sharing an XML configuration file between packages

  Hello, I'm using an XML file to configure my dataBase connection string. I try to deploy my package on a new server and it works perfectly. Then I made a second package which also need a configuration for the dataBase connection string. (I made the connection with the connection manager inside packages). The configuration is the same that for my first package, so I thought to use the same configuration file. I can use the same configuration file but the problem is when I try to generate a deployment for my solution. I got an error which tell me that the xxx.dtsConfig file already exist and can not be copy again. When I made the configuration in the second package I said that I want to reuse the file ... and I thought that for the deploymen ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Shape editing revisited

  Hi, I'm new to VE development, so I wanted to confirm a few points. For my app, I need the following: user-editable shapes, scratch pad functionality fetching the shapes' long+lat and storing them in my database checking if a point is within this custom shape Is this true that none of this is currently available in the SDK and has to be implemented independently Are there any plans to add this to the SDK You use VE methods to acheive these functions. There are no "built in" scratchpad, editably shapes or bounds logic but you certianly have the tools to do it yourself allowing this to be very customised. We have been asking for some samples of how the maps.live.com guys did t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Fundamental doubts on DLLs and Lib files on Windows

  Hi, I am a Solaris developer trying to port an application to windows using Visual C++ Express Edition and SDK. The application can be briefed as a module for Apache 2.2. The output I want is a DLL which has a function which will be called by a module in Apache. I have a core set of files which I compile to a static library A.lib. Then I have another set of business logic which uses A.lib and the output is B.lib. Around B.lib I have a set if interface methods which I want to publish as exported function in a shared library say C.dll. When I build I get the size of A.lib < B.lib. I want total logic as a single DLL C.dll and expect it bigger than both A.lib and Blib. But the size is A.lib around 5 MB, B'lib around 4 ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie question - Getting the headcount at the beginning of the year using OpeningPeriod

  Hello, Here's a newbie question that I am having a heck of a time figuring out... I want to return only the balance at the begining of the year. My time dimension has a hierarchy as follows: -Fiscal Year --Month ---Period I then created (from the template) a Calculated Member that does return the number. However, as you can see, it is only from Fiscal Year 2006, the first period (Period Number = 1) Aggregate ( OPENINGPERIOD([Dim Row Date Vw].[FiscalYear - EnglishMonth].[Period Number], [Dim Row Date Vw].[FiscalYear - EnglishMonth].[FiscalYear].&[2006].&[1]), [Measures].[ACTIVE] ) How do I change this so it pulls from the first period for each year, at the beginning of that year Thank you for the help. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. low resolutions not working (<800x600)

  Hey there all! I wonder if someone of you has experienced the same problem like me:  I'd like to set up my game to have a resolution of 640x480 fullscreen (or even lower). When I make a new game project (or open an existing one - doesn't matter) and change the resolution to anything lower than 800x600 fullscreen a messagebox appears (while the game starts fine, but stays a black screen doing nothing) saying that I will have to use a resolution minimum of 800x600 to use this application. I was searching for the text in the messagebox on the net, but to no avail. I'd post a picture here, but since my WindowsXP is a german version, I guess that it wouldn't help a lot. Maybe this even has nothing to do with XNA or C#. My gra ...Show All

• SQL Server CREATE Assembly with VJSLIB on x64

  I've got a project that requires J#. I know the J# assemblies aren't on the approved list, but I'm ok with that. I've done all the nasty things you're supposed to do to register it, and I've been succesful on my x86 machine. However, when I try the same thing on an x64 machine, it ends in failure.

• SQL Server how to set the disable property at runtime for sequence container

  I have a package that contains multiple SEQUENCE CONTAINERS, each execute a bunch of tasks. I try to use the script task to dynamically disable or enable each of these SEQUENCE CONTAINERS base on parameters that pass in from parent package, but for some reason, I can’t set the disable value to True/False at runtime. Anyone knows how to do this The Disable property is not accesible from script task. However you can use property expressions in the sequence containers to set the disable property using a variable and in your script task set the variable to True/False Thanks, Ovidiu Burlacu ...Show All
