• SQL Server Failed Connected to Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition

  Hi, We have a Sql 2005 server. It was setup by out network administrators who do not know much about sql server. It's running on Mixed Mode (Sql Server & Windows Authentication Mode). I have been able to connect to it use Integrated Security. However, I have not been able to connect to it using an username and a password. I have tried with sql accounts and windows accounts. Out of frustration, I used sql administrator account and windows domain administrator accounts. I also tried using the account the sql server is running on. But each and every time, I failed and received the following error message: Login failed for user '<<User Name>>'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I have a ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance issue when using Reporting Services?

  I have found indications in internet that the performance isn’t optimal in SSRS – both the CPU resources and the memory are consumed in a way that affects the performance a lot. The CPU resources are the same as SQL Server uses and if SSRS consumes a lot of these resources this might affect other parts. The memory can also be an issue since the SQL Server Standard edition is the one we uses and this is limited to 2GB RAM as I understand it. Are these “bad performance” indications true In some articles it is even pointed out that the SSRS should be placed on a Stand-alone server which thereby causes additional licenses. Is this really the case It depends how you look at it. Essentially what you have be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering To Textures in Beta2

  I used Texture2D's heavily with the usage RenderTarget, however in Beta 2 its like a whole new API. I understand that Surface no longer exists and RenderTarget/2D should be used. The problem is, the whole mentality is backwards compared to what im used to. From what I see I should create a RenderTarget2D and set that as a render target, then do rendertarget.GetTexture() if I want to set it. Thats fine. However, how do I copy between render targets There is no StretchRect or equivelent function I can see, which I used alot before. Surely I dont have to go about getting a texture, setting it, creating a 'copy' effect, setting a new render target, resolving the new render target just to copy from one to another Is there no alte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Interface Usage. Am I doing this right?

  My project is to use an interface. So, I tried to follow the examples and get one to work. The book says that interfaces specify behavior without implementing it. That doesn't really explain much to me. If you could please look at what I've done and tell me if I am using the interface properly, I would really appreciate it. What I've done seems to work. But I don't understand why I would want to use an interface. It seems to me that it's some way to pass objects around and use methods easier But I am not sure since it seems I am repeating methods anyways. If you think it could be done in a better way, I would love to know how. But my main hope is that I am doing this correctly and could use some help with understanding how to use an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Files not deployed during Team Build Test

  In my testrunconfig, I deploy a special file to the test output directory, which works fine for manual unit tests. However, in the tests that follow the Team Build, that file is not deployed. I read about a smiliar problem concerning the deployment of a whole directory here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=493055&SiteID=1 In my case the problem occurs with a single file and I also have SP1 installed. Thanks in advance for any help, Michael Hi, My assumption is that your Team Build project file doesn't refer to the test run config file which specifies your test dependencies. There is a similar thread on our forums that covered this in the course of investigating that I think yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office List Object in excel - how to stop user deleting rows

  how can i stop the user deleting rows from a data bound list object. There is no setter on the AllowDelete property of the BindingSource object, detecting when a row is deleted on the underlying dataset and rejecting the changes stops the row from being deleted from the dataset but it leaves an empty list row in the list. rebinding the BindingSource to the dataset has no effect either Hi Michael, I have tracked this behavior to a bug in the ListObject. If you select the row within the ListObject, this works fine, but if you select the entire sheet row, this is broken. I will track how and when you can get a fix for this bug and let you know. Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Access rights to two mssql dbs via password protected role

  I dont know how to arrange situation when application enduser needs to access data in two databases of mssql server concurently in those circumstances that access rights to the data should be restricted by password protected role (whose password is not known to the end user). Detailed description of problem: So far there was an application, that manipulated its data, saved in mssql server's database. End user authenticates to application by his (mssql server's) login name and password. The application authenticates the user by connecting to the database with the given name/password credentials, and then the application sets application role with hardcoded name/password. Thus application role sets the access rights for consequent end ...Show All

• Visual Basic Enforcing Binary Compatibility with Library builds

  I am seeking the current implimentation of binary compatibility enforcement with class libraries to prevent later versions of a library from breaking older applications which use it. In VB6 and C++6 there was a compiler setting to warn if your application would break compatibility, preventing applications which previous versions of the library from properly executing. Currently, I see no implimentation of this strategy available within the project settings or anywhere else within the IDE (for any language). Example Follows: class myClass public ReadOnly Property myProperty() As Integer get return(1) End get end Property end class As useless as this class is, if some other developer changes myProperty to ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development JavaScript - same image, over and over...

  Hey All... I'm implementing a custom treecontrol in JavaScript. Nodes are added dynamically via ajax returns. When this happens, certain images that are displayed on each node arent being displayed. Upon further investigation, I see that as the same image is being used on node after node, we're going back to the server each time to get the same image over and over again... For each node, I'm including an <img src=images/...jpg /> tag in the innerHtml property of an appropriate element. As I say, I keep seeing the server hit over and over for each node - I hope somehow this is related to why I dont see the image at all on new nodes. Me thinks this image should somehow be cached - is this something I have to make happen explicitl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Filter Work Item History by Created Date??

  I'm looking to a way to filter the work items in the Work Item History via System_CreatedDate. Currently, I'm working in the [Team System] cube and have a list of showing the cummulative count of the number work items in any given state on any given day.  I'd like to filter this list such that only work items created on a certain date are counted.   As mentioned in posts by other users, trying to filter the values using the System_CreatedDate value directly has no effect.  If I filter using the Work.Id Inclusive range, I find that the routine does work in terms of only counting those work items.  I just need an easy way to relate the System_CreatedDate to either a Set of Work.Ids o ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with dynamic security and dependent dimension (SSAS 2k5)

  Hi all, I try to implement dynamic security and I have a problem with a dependent dimension. What I want: Each user is responsible for one or more branches of the company, so each user should see the data the branches, she is responsible for. What I get: Error: Das Branch-Attribut in der DIM_ZWST-Dimension weist einen ungultigen Sicherheitsausdruck fur eine generierte Dimension auf.

This is my setup: SSAS 2k5 Dimensions: DIM_USERS with attributes Name, Loginname (this is NT user name and should correspond to the MDX UserName()-function) DIM_ZWST: These are th ...Show All
