• SQL Server MDX Query "paging file too small" problem

  ...but the SSAS 2005 server is running on a machine with a 12 Gig page file. Although it is a big select statement (with "intersect()"s and "hierarchize()"s and multiple cross-joins), I would expect the query to complete successfully. If there is a shortage of memory, I would think the server would simply make use of the paging file (all 12 Gig). The machine is an HP dual-IA64 server with 4 Gig of RAM running W2K3 SP1. The SSAS 2005 instance has been upgraded to SP1 recently. Any ideas Thanks! Hi, Hippunky! Thanks for replying. The machine has both IIS and the full "suite" of SQL Server services installed (Sql Server, SSAS, SSIS, RS, SQL Agent, etc.) The SSAS installation is the full ( ...Show All

• Gadgets Creating GOOD graphics for gadgets...

  I use Adobe Photoshop to make my images and I was wondering what other people use. I think the images in the MSFT gadgets look cool, but I'm not even close to knowing how to make such good looking images. The code is only part of it right, many of the custom gadgets I see have kind of a crappy look. Ok, this includes mine too.. as I said, I want to learn.. So what's a good site to learn how to make 3d or Vista type images Would someone suggest another tool than Adobe Or, if Adobe is good, then any tips, tricks, links to make cool images Thanks! Thanks for both replies. Sounds like I have the proper tool, but just need to learn it some more. I can do the rounded edges rectangles, which actually took me a while to figure out. I w ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating tables with SQL Scripts

  In sql server 2003 I would create tables with generated sql scripts. This way I could easily create duplicate dev environments. Now in SQL 2005 Dev edition I try to run my scripts to create tables.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mystery function in Game.Run using more CPU than Update+Render

  I implemented multi-light shadow maps in my XNA game engine and I am experiencing a pretty significant slowdown. I checked with PIX and I seem to be at a reasonable number of DrawPrim (under 50) and SetRenderTarget (single digit) calls per frame. The shadow map shader is based on the D3D9 sample. I had the Task Manager open and I spotted my game was only using about 60% CPU (I have only a single core processor). My profiler shows this: 48.92 % Game.Run... - 10384* ms - 0 calls 13.82 % function * - 2933 ms - 987 calls - class . function *( parameters ) 7.34 % Draw - 1557 ms - 329 calls - SharpX.Game.Draw(GameTime) 4.94 % Update - 1050 ms - 620 calls - SharpX.Test.TestGame.Update(GameTime) 1.71 % MouseSubClassFunc - 363 ms - 401 ca ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I filter a BindingSource using the Child token?

  I have to DataTables with a parent-child relation set between them. The BindingSource object is bound to the Parent table. Is there a way of applying the filter with search/filter criteria specified for the child DataTable I've tried: ParentBindingSource.Filter = "child(RelationName).aChildCol='strToFilterOn'" but I get an error "Cannot interpret token 'child' at position 1." Any ideas on how this can be done After some research I've seen comments stating that Child can only be used with aggregate functions.

• .NET Development How many CLR Instances is created when multiple windows application is running on single OS ??

• Visual Studio Express Editions Any way to prevent Visual Basic 2005 IDE from saving my project before I try my program out?

  I'm quite careful to save changes I want to have saved, in case something unexpected happens and my program crashes, taking the whole IDE down in the process. However, sometimes I make changes to my code that might be risky, or just plain experimental "what if" changes that I do not want to save in my project until I have tested them and verified they aren't harmful and are worth keeping. Yet, every time I click on the green "play" icon (or Debug menu, Start Debugging) the IDE saves my project, integrating the changes I wanted to test before deciding if they should be saved.

• Smart Device Development How to use RegisterRunningDevice

  Hi all !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on an important project of network device developping. I made a UPNP AV Control Point that works very well. Now I'm building a MediaServer device and I'm facing a problem about register the device. I did my own implementation. Since it doesn't work, I tried the example provided by the microsotf SDK and I get the same error after calling IUPnPRegistrar::RegisterRunningDevice. the return result of the function is 8004a025. I searched the meaning of this value and I didn't obtain anything. If somebody can know the meaning of this or the causes of non-running of this function, I'm waiting your contibutions because without running the function I canont progress.

• SQL Server DataReader output column length

  Hello, I have an ODBC connection manager to a Progress database. In that database there is a column declared as a string of 10 characters long. However, some data in this column is actually up to 15 characters long.
