• SQL Server Partition Slice Property

  I'm having trouble processing a partition that has a slice property selected. My data is partitioned on a montly basis, hence the slice is along the lines of [Date].[Date Hierarchy].[Month].&[200607]. When I do process index or process full, it fails. Iget the following error: Error: The script threw an exception: Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The slice specified for the Half Year attribute is incorrect. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the indexes for the Viewers 200607 partition of the Viewers measure group of the Viewing cube from the BDW database. I didn't type the mdx myself, just click and drag from metadata pane. Anyone know why this might be happening Thank. Rahil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build result not showing in the Builds Report

  Hi, I created a team build and used Approach #2 in http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/26/485368.aspx to build VS.NET 2003 solution file. However, after the build succeeded and warehouse refreshed, I am not able to see this result in the Builds Report. Is there some target missing in this approach The only difference I see here is that SolutionToBuild item is not defined. So the CoreCompile target is skipped. Does it affect the reporting Thanks, -hengyi Since the all the builds show up in the Build Browser in Visual Studio, I would expect the Builds Report will also display the same information. (the tfsWarehouse.Build table does have this empty build.) So right now to work aro ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to call a memory release ?

  Hi, I am currently building a VB.Net Application that uses Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The problem is that the amount of memory used while the process is running always keeps growing. And I am sure that Acrobat is responsible for that. So I would like to know how to call a memory release in VB.Net. thanks for helping. Alex I tested the command : System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject And it finally works, Acrobat keeps taking a lot of memory space, sometimes more than 200megs for a 4meg document but when I close the document and release the COM object it gets a little smaller. Lets just say that to run my application, users will need at least 1024 meg RAM for optimal performance :-) Thanks again f ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pricing

  Hello. This is my first post on the message board. I just wanted to know if I can buy a year of XNA for $100, keep it for a month just to try it, then get the rest of my money back I wanted to know if this is allowed. I wanted to try XNA for just a month just to see how my game will work on the Xbox 360. I saw in the XNA faq that if you have to cancell the membership, they will give you the back the amount of money that you didn't use. For example, I buy $100 worth of XNA but I just use it for a month which is like around $8.33. Can I get $91.67 back. Please let me know if this is allowed. Thank you. ...Show All
