• Visual Studio Team System Prevent overriding checkin policy?

  Is there a way to disable allowing the user to do this Perhaps via a security permission Otherwise what good is the policy Thanks You're right, we'd have to move policy evaluation to the server. That would limit a lot of the UI interaction that's possible with today's framework, but has some advantages: in addition to adding security, it opens the possibility to things like keyword expansion. To be honest, though, customer demand for these features has been low. Feel free to open a feature request on Connect so that people can vote. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Capturing "Load Report Failed" details

  Hello, I have a set of Crystal Reports displayed in .Net 2.0 WinForms. I've had numerous reports run with relatively little difficulty across numerous machines. However, I now have two reports that get a "Load Report Failed" error on PCs other than my development box. I verified that the Crystal versions match, file permissions are correct, etc..., but I'm unable to debug it.

• SQL Server Aggregation dependent on dimension attribute

  Hi, I have little tricky situation here and I'll try to describe it as accurately as possible... Using Analysis Services 2005, I need to provide a measure in which the aggregation is basically a sum, but sometimes based on a maximum within a dimension member. Here's the situation: Table: Event Available fields: Event Group, Date, Attendance Attendance is the measure and Event Group and Date (Time) are dimensions. Time has a Year - Month - Day hierarchy. Event Groups have an attribute "Same Attendance" that signifies that the same people attended all events in that Event Group. Example: Event Group: "VB.Net Course" - Same Attendance = true Related Events: Nov 10, 2006 - Attendance = 12 Nov 20, 2006 - A ...Show All

• Visual C# Sample code problem: creating threads

  I found some example code in a web page titled “How to create a thread by using Visual C#” and located here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B815804 The instructions in this tutorial are easy to follow and I think I followed them correctly. It took maybe 3 minutes. When I try to run the new project, it pops up the form, then a few seconds later a window titled “InvalidOperatorException was unhandled.” The Window has an option to “Copy exception detail to the clipboard” so I did that and pasted the data in below. The line of code highlighted is: this .progressBar1.Value = newval; I did it twice and obtained exactly the same results. Did I make an error Has anyone ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting SQL server Express maximum memory usage

  Hi All, How can we set the maximum memory usage for SQL server Express I have tried setting it in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express - Memory option, but it didn't have any effect.A problem I'm facing now is that the sqlservr memory usage keeps increasing and eventually slows down my application. Is there a way to set the upper limit or clear the unused memory Thank you. Regards, Lawrence When my application is closed, i do notice that the working set counter of sql main process(sqlservr) is dropping, but the instance process (sqlservr spanned from the main process) is still retained high in memory usage, possibly near to 1GB. This certainly is going to have a big impact on us because thi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Marble Blast Ultra Source?

  I noticed in one of the XNA blog posts, that GarageGames had ported their Torque shader engine and Marble Blast Ultra to managed code/C#. Is this source likely to ship with XNA Studio Express (or possibly people with the "creators club" membership), or did they just do it to show off It'd make a pretty cool starting app for people to look at and see how it should be done!(and they have done it with MechCommander2). They ported MBU lock stock and barrel, to prove that Torque X was viable for writing games on 360. The source code is not publicly available and isn't ever likely to be. GarageGames make revenue from MBU after all. The example was basically to show the comunity that they can make su ...Show All
