SQL Server SSIS and SSAS projects in one solution
Hi, I would like to add some related SSIS and SSAS project into one solution in BI Studio.

.NET Development Sockets closing properly?
I have developed a client/server application and am having some trouble with closing and then re-opening sockets. Basically, the first thing my client does is sign-in to my server (it's actually a double sign-in because my server acts as client to a Unix server) When I sign-in I send a message to check the comms is up, and on receiving a valid reply, I present a login box and then login proceeds. If there is no connection available, I fall back onto a local database to use to verify the login so login/out still works. If they click Sign-out and there is a valid socket connection, I do the following; if (CurrentSocket.LocalSocket != null ) { if (CurrentSocket.LocalSocket.Connected) { CurrentSocket.LocalSocket.Shu ...Show All

Visual Basic Running a DOS command from within a VB application
Hi all. I am a newbie, and I am trying to develop a graphical interface to automate a task that I usually execute through a batch program. I have to execute an external command-line program that is not capable of accepting parameters.

Can someone help this sad newbie ! Regards ___ Max To Spotty: I think this cannot work, ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Step by Step Cue volume sample request
Hi, I just can't figure how to set the volume of a given Cue instance. I want one specific instance of a sound (ex: player 1 laser volume@50% , player 2 laser volume@80% ). I saw only one post giving a very light explanation, which was: a) you should create a cue "Volume" variable in XACT (that I can do) b) link that variable to the sound Volume ( how ) c) set the volume programmatically. I suppose SetVariable("Volume",0.5) will do it once XACT is properly set up. Thanks Freds72 You can do it like You say. Create cue instance variable "Volume", add RPC preset linking Sound:Volume with this variable. Attach sounds to that preset (important!). Then ...Show All

.NET Development DataSet.Merge() and Deleted rows
Hi all, I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but I can't seem to get the Merge() working correctly when the merged DataSet has deleted rows. I'm using Typed DataSets, although I doubt if that makes a difference, does it I *have* set PrimaryKey properties. Here's some code to illustrate my point ... I made a copy of my Personnel DataSet, I then made changes in the Personnel DataSet and then merged them back to the copy: dsCopy = (MyPersonnelDataSet)dsPersonnel.Copy(); // change a row in the Personnel table dsPersonnel.Personnel[0]["userkey"] = 0; // delete a row in the PhoneNumber table dsPersonnel.PhoneNumber[0].Delete(); // add a row to the PhoneNumber table DataRow row; row = dsPersonnel.PhoneNumber.NewRow(); row["phonen ...Show All
