• SQL Server BIDS and SSMS very slow on Windows XP SP2

  Hi, opening SQL Server Management Studio 2005 or Business Intelligence Development Studio 2005 on my Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition is extremely slow. Espacially in BIDS it take several seconds for each action. Is anybody aware of this problem We didn't have those problems on Win2000 so I guess it is XP related. Any ideas Regards Norbert Bender I added the /nosplash option but it didn't change anything. It is still very slow. Any other idea Regards Norbert ...Show All

• SQL Server Hold group constant across time?

  Hi eveyone, My users asked me a question today that I wasn't sure of so I was hoping you guys could give me some advice. Is it possible to make the cube hold a group constant across time For example, I want to take all of the customers that were here in December 2006 and see how they performed during the year. Is that something I can do in a cube Obviously, I could create a seperate cube with only those customers in it, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. Thanks! Ahh Dave, you're excellent!! And completely right.. the first query is exactly what I had. I know SQL pretty well so I knew that wasn't going to work but I'm a novice at MDX. So I guess the named set is basically a SQL subquer ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can i map the Item Description field to a field in Microsoft Project Professional ?

  I've been reading tutorials on MS on this but i couldn't find out which field to map to which - can anyone here help me - I need to map the Description field in VSTS to a field in MS Project Pro - the best would be the Notes field in Task Information Panel. 10x in advance ! See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=372366&SiteID=1 . <I'm afraid that is a limitation of the product. MS Project only supports fields with <= 255 characters, so we don't allow mapping fields that can contain more than 255 characters (Plaintext, HTML, and History are the unsupported field types).> ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production

  Does anyone have a reference that describes the procedure for and best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production Does anyone have a reference for tools that move only the new content to production environment (incremental upgrade) Regards, Giuseppe i think the best way is to detach the database from the test server and then attach it to the production web application. Somebody posted a good how to blog post a while back but I can't seem to find it. In a nutshell: 1. do a full backup of your farm 2. use central admin on your production server to start the restore but only restore your content databases, configurations databases will need to be fresh. 3. create new web applicat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing Debug Web Application

  Strage question. I installed Firefox a while ago but have since uninstalled it in favour of IE7 but now I can't debug ASP.NET applications in Visual Studio 2005. I just wondered where I could find the setting for the web application to run so I can change it from Firefox to IE. Cheers just to add, what you *could* do, but may not resolve the problem is to set a default browser. I'm using VS2003 here, since I've never created ASP.NET 2.0 apps using VS2005 but hopefully you can translate the menu system over. File > Browse with > choose IE then select "Set as default" and see if this helps. Again, not guarenteed to help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Windows application, integration with Word

  I'll try to give some application goals. I'm pretty unclear as to which technologies I need to use. I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard, and I was thinking that C# would probably be the easiest for my programming style. The application needs to be a local Windows application. There will be two main components of the application. The first one will be to create a new document, or load an existing document and edit it. Creating a document will be a wizard-type of tool where the user will answer a series of questions about the document, including typing some text at various points. The end result of this will be that the user will choose a template, such as a Word template, and the application will insert the data that the user filled ou ...Show All

• SQL Server Restart package automatically

  Hi there, I would like to be able to automatically restart a package if it fails with a certain error. This is due to a job that fails every now and then due to a loss in connectivity to the database (when run again no issues). I know how to catch the message, but is there i way that i can in a script task or some other task restart the whole package when moving into the OnError event for the whole package. I know this isn't a great way to do it, but its just temporary until we can isolate the network issue that is causing the loss in connectivity. Thanks You would have to restart the packge host, not from within the package itself. A quick way of doing this would be to use a SQL Agent Job ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista state workflow with multiple approve scenario

  I'm working on a scenario where multiple users cann approve or reject tasks. Therefore I've created custom state driven activities inherited from StateActivity and IEventActivity to handle my events. My custom StateActivity contains EventDrivenActivity which subscribes to the event and receiving event data from a WorkflowQueue. My Service enqueues event data to the queue when the event gets to be fired. In detail, my state activity contains two EventDrivenActivities one for the commit event and another for the reject event. Each of the events can be fired by the work of two users (let's assume user A and user B) My plan was not to unsubscribe the event, when user A fires the event Continue. Instead of it, the event listeners should c ...Show All
