• SQL Server Trouble with DataSource and Sharepoint Integration

  I have setup Sharepoint Integration and built a report that connects to a SSAS cube to present data. The report was build in VS2005 before I installed SQL SP2 and the Sharepoint Add-in. I am able to upload the report (rdl) and the datasource (rds) , but when I try to view the report I get the following error. The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference). The report and the datasource are in the same folder in a document library. When I try to deploy the reports using VS2005 I get a reporting services prompt when the deploy starts. Tried a couple of account to no avail. One thing that I noticed is that the datasource icon is a blank page vs t ...Show All

• SQL Server Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed.

  in SQLServer2005 how can I allow update system catalogs (by mouseclick) sp_configure 'allow updates' , 1 - works, but I get the message Msg 259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed. direct updates to the system tables were never supported in SQL Server. But it looks like, in SQL 2005 they are not even ALLOWED and that is a wrong move from Microsoft. Though not supported, sometimes you can't get away without updating system tables. For ex., try moving a log shipped database from one server to another, without losing it's synchronization. ...Show All

  Hello, While using visual studio 2005 I noticed an odd rounding error where 0.0355 gets converted to 0.0349 when atof("0.0355") * 100000.0 is done. If you run the code below you will see it printed out. Any help / ideas would be appreciated. string strList[2] = { ".099999", ".0355" }; for ( int i=0; i<2; i++){ string strVal = strList [ i ]; double fVal = atof(strVal.c_str()); long lValx10 = ( long ) (fVal * 10.0); long lValx100 = ( long ) (fVal * 100.0); long lValx1000 = ( long ) (fVal * 1000.0); long lValx10000 = ( long ) (fVal * 10000.0); long lValx100000 = ( long ) (fVal * 100000.0); cout.setf(std::ios::showpoint | std::ios::showpos); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting started with C++ Express - Please help!

  I've been using VC++ 6.0 for a long, long time. The main reason I want to change is the many bugs in 6.0 having to do with templates. Tonight I downloaded VC++ 2005 Express and the SDK. I tried to follow all the directions for integrating the SDK, but it was very confusing. It would be nice if there were a start-to-finish set of instructions that included exactly what buttons to push to get the right version of the SDK. Anyway, here's where I am: I created a tiny console application. I don't know if it's native or managed. (How do you choose I want native.) I've stripped it down to #include <windows.h> followed by "int main() {return 0;}". The "Release" version compiles and runs. But the "Debug" version ...Show All

I want to hear ideas from somebody else. Thanks With the Agile template (if that's what you're using), the Scenario work item is *generally* accep ...Show All
