• SQL Server Windows Authentication - Different Domain

  Hi: I am trying to figure out if there is a way to connect via SQL Server Management Studio to a server sitting on a separate domain. So here is the situation. there is Server B which sits in a domain called DomainB. If I am in DomainA, I could typically remote into that server utilizing an IP address in DomainB, and even transfer files to that server. But how do I connect via SQL Server Management Studio(basically login as a different domain user) to Server B in DomainB from DomainA. Basically when I choose Windows Authentication from the dropdown list in SQL Server Management Studio, it grays out the username field, which is where I could type something like this domainB\usernameondomainB, similar to how you would connect to a share o ...Show All

  Hi I'm receiving the error " TF10201: Source control could not start the manual merge tool. " when I'm trying to resolve a conflict during checkin. The scenario is as follows: I have 1 file $/TeamProject/Dev/MyFile.h that has been branched to $/TeamProject/Branch/MyFile.h I have made changes to both the "Dev" and the "Branch" file, and then done a merge from "Dev" to "Branch", this creates a pending merge on "Branch" (as expected).

• Community Chat .NET

  What is the difference between .NET and java. If both are platform independent, can you suggest which is the most preferable based on platform independency. .NET application needs to have .NET framework running on the machine where you want to run it. In case of Java, you need to have JVM/JRE running to run Java application. As per my knowledge, JVM/JREs are available for different plateforms but DOT NET needs to have MS operating system. Note: there is possibility to run DOT net application on non-Microsoft plateform using some 3rd party application like MONO. Hope this helps you understand the difference. Well, I will love to work on DOT NET.... ...Show All

• Visual C# Accesing key shortcuts from another program

  I'm trying to write a small code library program that I want to hide in the system tray, and pop up whenever some one hits a key shortcut, such as CTRL+F1. I have the program in the tray, but don't know how to check for key presses happening outside of my program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for the help. I'll give it a shot, and can hopefully get every thing converted from VB. The only part I'm not sure about is exactly how to convert the dll import: <DllImport("user32", EntryPoint:="RegisterHotKey", _ SetLastError:=True, _ ExactSpelling:=True, _ CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _ If any one knows what this would look lik ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Expression For Sum of Days Between Dates

  Hi guys, We have this small problem that we cannot figure out how to do. In a nutshell, we want to write a calculated member that will calculate the difference in days between dates in a table and then it sum all the differences. Our knowledge of MDX is somehow limited :) Thanks Robert J Can you be a little clearer Firstly, MSAS is cubes, dimensions, and measures. Secondly, what do you mean by "sum all of the differences". Between dateA and dateB, there's only one number. Reminder: you can take advantage of SQL Server capabilities when pulling information into MSAS. There's a few ways to do this when the information isn't readily avaiable on the table: a) Access your table via a view. Thi ...Show All

• SQL Server Tutorial problem - please help

  Guys, I am working through the tutorial. Although I discovered this problem in lesson 7 it has nothing to do with the KPIs. All this relates to Sales Amount Quota. If I browse with no time filtering, I get $109,226,500 which agrees with the tutorial. If I make Fiscal Year a row dimension, I see 2004 has $43,240,000 which agrees with the tutorial. If I use fiscal year as a filter (restricting to 2004) as well as having it as a row dimension, the 2004 figure shows correctly and there is a grand total of $109,226,500. If I then remove the row dimension (leaving the filter) the $109,226,500 remains but the 2004 figure disappears. This does not agree with the tutorial. As an experiement I then used Calendar quarter as a filter selectin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adding files to source control

  I created an empty project for a Project Manager (who has Project Administrator permissions) to add files to Source Control himself. He added source to the first sub-project from Visual Studio successful. However, he can no longer add another sub-project at the same level as the first. When the TFS Administrator added this second sub-project for the Project Manager, the Project Manager still was not able to add file to this second sub-project (even after he was given the Team Foundation Administrator rights temporarily). Then the TFS Administrator added a file to the second sub-project and ask the Project Manager if he was able to check the file out. The answer was "No". Can you tell me what would cause this problem and ...Show All
