• SQL Server How to determine the number of cluster for the my clustering models?

  Hi, all here, Thank you very much for your kind attention. Is there any good way to determine the number of clusters for the clustering models Really looking forward to hearing from you for your guidance. Thanks a lot. With best regards, Yours sincerely, If you set the CLUSTER_COUNT parameter to 0, then the algorithm will try to determine automatically the number of clusters. Also, you could try to set CLUSTER_COUNT to a large value (say, 30). The algorithm will start looking for 30 clusters, then merge those that are really close, so the result will be less or equal to 30, and will give you an idea of how many actual clusters seem to exist in your data. You can also use the MINIMUM_SUPPORT parameter to add f ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamically created Registry Keys in .NET Installer

  Hi, I have written a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2005 (VC++). I have created a Setup Project in my solution and am configuring it. My application uses registry values, and so I am entering the Registry Keys and Values needed by my app in the deployment Registry Editor within Visual Studio 2005. I use several Values whose data is a filename or path, but that path depends on the selected install folder the user chooses while installing the program (using this Setup program I am creating.) My question is, is it possible to use some sort of variable while specifiying the value for a Registry Value in the Registry Editor And if it is, how do I get the Root Target Folder for the installed application Thanks - Samy PS. It occurs to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy error: User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent

  I am wondering if anyone has run into this error when trying to deploy a Database to server environment not locally. User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent I have tried cutting out permissions, users, even everything but the table objects and nothing has worked. If anyone can give any insight into this error I would appreciate the help. Yes, if you have different users in the project vs. the target we will always script out the differences in users, roles, etc. Permissions will always be in the permissions.sql post-deploy script and will simply be those that were imported initially. Sounds like you found the correct work-around to take care of your situation. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UsernameToken over Certificate authentication

  I need to use client certificate to validate the domain of the request and user name token to validate the user in that domain. I know that this is a classic case for federation but lets ignore that for the purpose of this post. So the first authentication of the request was through certificates, which was relatively easy. Instead of passing user name and password as arguments to a method, I would like to send a user name token in the request. On the server side, I would like to validate the user credentials in the WCF plumbing. How would I go about doing the second part given that it has to happen right after the first part Thanks. I was going to try to build one for you, but at it turns out, there is a sample describing this (Jan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Combobox and Dataset binding.

  I'm wondering what I'm missing here. I have a combobox with a table binding source. The table has a primarykey, PersonalID number, First Name, Last Name and Phone number. The PID is a combobox, so when I open the box, it would also update the other textboxes. This seems to work okay, but when I scroll down to other PID then come back to the first one, the number is not correctly shown. (The original number disappeared). For example, PID 101 is assigned to user Sponge Bob. I scroll through the items in the combobox and select another record. Then I come back to the first item, which should be PID 101, for some reason, the number 101 disappeared from the combobox, another number takes over user Sponge Bob. Here using Sponge Bob is a ...Show All

• SQL Server Sharing an XML configuration file between packages

  Hello, I'm using an XML file to configure my dataBase connection string. I try to deploy my package on a new server and it works perfectly. Then I made a second package which also need a configuration for the dataBase connection string. (I made the connection with the connection manager inside packages). The configuration is the same that for my first package, so I thought to use the same configuration file. I can use the same configuration file but the problem is when I try to generate a deployment for my solution. I got an error which tell me that the xxx.dtsConfig file already exist and can not be copy again. When I made the configuration in the second package I said that I want to reuse the file ... and I thought that for the deploymen ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPRS Connect at Startup

  Hi again (again), Last question, I promise. I'm looking to start the GPS up wen the device starts. I don't mind changing hte registry for this, or doing it programatically. All the stuff I have found is either for C#, or the registry info doesn't exist in my phone. Once again, any help would be very appreciated. Cheers, Dan. haha, I had that, but it was throwing errors. I realised later why, but never put it back in, thinking the way I created the variable would take care of the size parameter automagically. Anyways, I added that in, and it still didn't solve the problem. I didn't bother checking the HRESULT cause if it didn't work, the errors for HRESULT didn't seem like they'd be much ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't link a managed wrapper (mixed managed/native) assembly to a static lib???

  Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a fairly major limitation... I have a mixed manage and native "wrapper" assembly project that wraps a third party's static library. We do not have a DLL version of the third party library, just the .lib. In VS 2003 with managed extensions for C++, the project compiled and linked fine. Now, after having converted all the managed extension stuff to C++/CLI, I have it all compiling. However, it does not link because of multiply defined symbols (LNK2005 error). It appears the static library had linked (statically) to libcmt.lib When linking my project I get 20 or so linker errors like this: libcmt.lib(fflush.obj) : error LNK2005: _fflush already defined in MSVCRTD.lib(MSVCR80D.dll) My ...Show All

• SQL Server better table management (partitions?)

  Hi, For my work I am now learning Sql server 2005 and I have been given a database that has been set up by someone else to work with. It is my job to get the database ready for use in reports. My problem is that the current database has one huge table with almost 8GB of data. The table contains data from 2004 to present (and growing) from 14 different countries. The reports we use are mostly per country, but we also want to compare the 14 countries to eachother for say, whole 2006.  At the moment the table is stored in one single file instead of using partitions. I believe partitions can give a good performance boost when running the queries. But how do I do this Currently the country codes are just plain text, can they be us ...Show All

• SQL Server Configuration File not always used

  I have a simple SSIS package (stored in the file system) that gets a file path from a configuration file. The configuration type is an indirect XML configuration file that uses an environment variable to store the location of the configuration file. When I run the package using dtexecui, or just dtexec from a command line, the package successfully picks up the file path from the configuration file (for verification I am writing out the variable containing the path to the log file). However when I run the package from a SQL Agent job it appears that the configuration file is not being used (the path is set to the same dummy path that I used during development). I have tried running the job as both a CmdExec and an Integrati ...Show All
