• .NET Development ThreadPool on Multiple processor machines

  Hi, I am writing a number crunching server application and would like to be able to split the work across multi processors on my server. Would it be sufficient to use a .Net ThreadPool and queue the tasks on the different threads I am not sure about this because from the operating system point of view all the threads are running within the same operating system process and would therefore not get split across different processors. If this is the case then how can I make use of multi processor architecture on .Net applications Regards Vikram Hi nobugz Thanks for your reply. Is there any way I can test this theory Sorry, I really need to be sure about this as my project design will depen ...Show All

• SQL Server Partition by attribute not in fact table

  Hi, I am trying to partition a measure group in a cube. The problem is that I don't want to split it by the granularity attribute in the fact table. I want to split it by an attribute in the corresponding dimension table which has a one to many relationship to the attribute in question. I can't do it by using any numerical operators on the granularity attribute ( between, less than etc.). Can anybody suggest a solution Dave Hi Dave, One way would be to (in the partition Query Binding) join the fact table to the dimension table(s) with the attribute that you wish to split by. This is the type of query that AS 2000 generates, when a partition slice is defined on a non-leaf member of a schema-optimi ...Show All

• Visual C# Finding text in a Rich Text Box Control

  I find that when I use richTextBox.find(string) it only seems to search until the first occurrence of the string. How can I have a find like that in notepad etc. i.e. finds the next occurrence with each click. The code I'm currently using to do this is: int pos; if (RichTextBox.SelectedText == "" ) { pos = RichTextBox.Find(searchTextBox.Text, 0, RichTextBoxFinds .None); } else { pos = RichTextBox.Find(searchTextBox.Text, (RichTextBox.SelectionStart + 1), RichTextBoxFinds .None); } if (pos < 0) { MessageBox .Show( "Your query " + searchTextBox.Text + " could not be found" , "Results" , MessageBoxButtons .OK, MessageBoxIcon .Warning); RichTextBox.DeselectAll(); } ...Show All

• SQL Server Training

  Whose training courses would you all recommend Ideally, I would like a data warehouse modeling course that discusses Analysis Services 2005 secondarily. I usually recommend this book: http://www.msftdwtoolkit.com/Index.htm . I have not been to their DW-cources yet but the book is really good. They have also a site dedicated to general DW-design problems that is relevant for the SQL Server BI-platform and other competing technologies. www.kimballgroup.com I do not gain anything for recommending it.

• SQL Server VLAN/Teamed Network Adapters for Principal and Mirror

  Hi! Is it possible to use teamed network adapters for Principal and Mirror in a quorum I need to use a VLAN networkconnection in order to setup a Synchronized Database Mirror with Witness session. Thanks in advance! Database Mirroring makes connections over standard TCP/IP protocols, so there is no functional dependency that would prevent the usage of teamed network adapters which operate at lower levels of the network stack.

• SQL Server Finding valid identity range on merge subscriber

  I am using merge replication with automatic identity range management I want to be able to give a disconnected subscriber a warning message if a certain percentage of the allocated subscriber identity range has been used - so that they can make sure they reconnect soon to obtain a new identity range I can get the current identity value OK, but I can't find a good way of finding the current permitted primary and secondary ranges The information is available in the check constraint, but I don't really want to have to parse this!

  I currently have Visual Studio 2005 Team Developer on my PC. I would like to evaluate Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite 180-Day Trial. I am interested in the Team Test features of Load Testing, Manual Testing and Test Case Management. If I download the trial, is it going to mess up my current configuration What happens after the 180 days, will my VS die Is the better way to test this to download it on another PC Ideas are appreciated. Thanks. Hi Dana - I definitely understand your concern, I wouldn't want to reinstall all of those add-ins either. I unfortunately don't have a Trial installation on any of my machines but I *think* that you run Add/Remove Features to get this option. Can you give that a try and let me know If not, ...Show All

• SQL Server Transfering a file from a FTP server to a SQL Server Table

  Hi I currently trying to construct a package where a file is picked up from a FTP site and then is inserted into a SQL table. I have created the FTP Connection Manager and I have linked the FTPTask object to this connection. Where does one go from here. Thanks Stephen use the SSIS data-flow to insert the contents of the file into SQL Server. A good way to build this for beginners is to use the Import wizard within SSMS. That will build you the basic data-flows inside a package which you can then modify accordingly. -Jamie ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums .Net Web Control + Operation Aborted

  I am trying to create a .Net Web Control, embedding the VE control + javascript within the control, exposing some clean properties/methods etc. so I can host from other pages. When I run the simplest of maps, I see the map appear then I get an "operation aborted" exception from the browser. Presumably this is caused by some VE Javascript running before the entire page hosting the control is complete or something Anyone have any ideas Phew. That solution really saved some bother! Incase anybody else is having the same problem, I was getting 'unexpected call to method or property access' when I attempted to add a polyline to a map.
