• SQL Server Unable to install SQL Server 2000 evaluation version

  I know this is old database but when I download this evaluation from microsoft website, I got problem installing it. First, I unzip it. By default, it is unzip to C:\SQLEVAL. Then, I went to install it. I don't which file I should click. So, I double click the autorun file. When I did that, there is a screen, I saw the screen saying "microsoft SQL Server 2000 Evaluation version". Then, I click "SQL Server 2000 Components" Then, it comes to next page, and I click "Install Database Server". But after I did that, nothing happens! After I click again the same thing all over again, it says "Another instance of setup is already running". I'm using Window XP Professional. Anyone encounter this problem ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Selecting processor type for VC++ Smart Device Application

  Hi all I want to write an embedded device application using VC++.NET and Visual Studio 2005. Also I would like to mention that one of the goals is to have source code and binary level compatibility for all processor types. Now when I create a new project for VC++ smart devices using the wizard, I am not given an option to select the CPU's. Rather I am given an option to select an SDK out of PocketPC 2003 or SmartPhone 2003. The instruction set for these SDKs is ARM. On the other hand, if I create a new project for C# smart devices using the wizard, the application can be run on CPU. Can anyone guide me how can i make my VC++ application run for multiple processors. Also how can I configure my project settings to make the applic ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Scaling still does not affect the renderer dimensions

  Hi I asked about this problem and got an answer that it was fixed here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=718158&SiteID=1&mode=1 But it still seems to do not work as it should. The problem: I built MFT that performs 2x scaling with input type YV12, NV12 or YUY2. To test it I use a player that based on the PlaybackFX SDK sample. When the output type is YV12, everything is OK and I get the scaled dimensions from the renderer using GetNativeVideoSize(). When the output type is NV12 or YUY2 the GetNativeVideoSize() returns the original dimensions of the video and what I see is a quarter of the frame. I also tried to set it manually with the correct size but it only stretched the quarter and did not display the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Intergration

  I decided, after my last post, to intergrate what I had been shown into my own program, But as always there's a snag, below is the code I use for Mousemove which works ok, if radbutton is checked for ellipse that's what's drawn, if radbutton rectangle is checked that's what's drawn. The code below that is for when the cropbutton is pressed and a new window opens with the cropped image inside, it works for Rectangle but I get a squiggley under ellipse with the message Type 'ellipse' is not defined Private Sub pbResize_MouseMove( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles pbxResize.MouseMove 'Crop Code Try If pbxResize.Image Is Nothing Then ...Show All

• Visual Studio Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out. You must continue execution

  This error happens when you sit at a check-point for around 30-40 seconds. Is there a way to disable this When I attempt to continue execution (to another break-point on the next line), it does not stop. Is this a Visual Studio setting or a runtime setting. Here is one situation that can cause the problem. Passing the user interface object into a subordinate class, in order to provide the subordinate class with access to methods on the user interface object. The correct solution is to raise events in the subordinate class to which the ui object can subscribe. Larry O'Heron ...Show All

• SQL Server OWC-XML Structure migration issues SQL2005

  Hi, I recently migrated a customer's BI solution from SQL2000 to SQL2005. He used to access the Analysis Services cubes via pivottable from OWC 9 or 10. Concerning Cubes, Measures and dimensions he now has the exactly same structure on SSAS as before on SQL2000. Now I have about thousands of reports in OWC 9/10 XML format which i have to migrate to OWC11 to work with SQL2005. I started replacing the version number, Dataprovider and the new Servername. Now connection can be established but I only see the reports measures. None of the reports dimensions (+ structure + filtering) can be seen in the pivottable report. Is there any documentation on what has changed in the xml format or any smart way to easy migrate owc9/10 xml-repor ...Show All

• SQL Server Larger Scale SSAS 2005 deployment configuration options...

  I'm wondering if there is anything like Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Operations Guide.doc Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Performance Guide.doc for SSAS 2005. I'm working on a 22 Gig cube (that is size with no aggs) with a 32-Gig RAM Server and want to do more tuning - I should be able to get the whole thing in RAM, no Shouldn't that make it really fast I'm particularly interested in all of the Analysis Services Properties for SSAS. What does "-3000" mean for several of the properties I was thinking that raising many of the max RAM settings could be good, but if they are based on percentages, then that would scale with the server and wouldn't need tuning. There seems to be ext ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 upgrade

  Hi all, We need to update our SQL 2000 to 2005. We plan to use it on a computer with 2 processors. Actually we update 2 servers that form a cluster, running web applications. I think there is no update version from 2000 to 2005. So we have to buy 2 full versions of SQL 2005 For our case it's probably best to buy SQL 1CPU version But we have 2 processors on each server. Is there a CPU license Do we have to buy 2 SQL 2005 1CPU plus 2 licenses for 1 (more) CPU Sorry, I am not so familiar with SQL. I am not the guy making the upgrade. I just have to order the correct version and licenses. Ok, I found out that there are processor licenses. But strange is that I don't find them in the online shops. (We are in Sw ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to create a windows service property sheet

Can anyone point me to an example of how to do this in C++ I am creating a windows service which has dynamic parameters that the user can change. Instead of creating an administration application I would like to include the parameters in a property page and have it merged with the default property pages provided by the windows service control manager.
