• Visual C++ Can I debug???

  Hi, I worte an MFC program and compiled it in "Debug", but I compiled it in "Release" configuration. Then, I modified my code for additional functionality, but I can't debug the program anymore with "Debug" configuration. It gave me error like "Debug Assertion Failed" when I ran program in "Debug" mode. I do want to debug my program for its correctness. Do you have any idea how I can debug Thanks, vcboy It is quite difficult to see why it is giving a debug assertion by looking at the above code. To have more clarity, start your program in debug mode (Press F5) and when it shows the assertion dialog, press retry. It will go to the lin ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection Error when trying to run MDX-queries

  To learn MDX (on SQL Server 2005 dev edition) I decided to put up some sample cubes and run MDX-queries from SQL Server Management Studio. When processing the cube in BI Studio I get the following error: "The datasource , 'Adventure Works DW', contains an ImpersonationMode that that is not supported for processing operations." Fair enough, then I change the impersonationmode in the datasource to service account. It all processes/deploys well and I can browse the cube in BI Studio. Off to Management studio to run some mdx-queries. Here however I get the error: "Error (Data mining): Either the user, ######, does not have permission to access the referenced mining model, Analysis Services Tutorial, or the object does not exist." ...Show All

• .NET Development Derived classes - how to find derived class' attributes from base class

  Hi everyone, I come from a PHP background and I'm starting a new project in C#.net 2005 (express). My question regards base classes and getting a list of attributes of the instantiated derived class from within the original base class - i.e: Have base class declare a function that will set all the attributes of the instantiated class from a provided hashtable. Pseudo-code: --------------------------------- class base() { protected populate_from_array(Hashtable in_vals) { foreach(object[] entry in in_vals) { if (entry[0] is one of the calling classes attributes) attribute = entry[1] } } } class whatever : base { public string name; } //main programming loop: Hashtable w_vals = new Hashtable(); w_vals.Add(" ...Show All

• Visual Studio integration of clearcase in vs2003 and vs2005 behaves differently

  hi, I have some third party implementation of clearcase integration with Visual studio. It works absolutely fine in vs2003 environment . However when I try the same in vs2005 env it create some temp files by name like "~sakeaa30dc101c6e236.sln" and something similar temp files corresponding to few more files. I do not understand why thes files get created. The properties say "Temporary file created by Visual studio to test clearase capabilties.." These files create problems when I add one more project to same place and try checking in. the project is registered by string "MSSCCI:clearcase" as SCC provider well there are few more differences in behavior in VS2005 .

• Visual C# Cost for Moving controls from one form to another

  My project used some third party code for docking control. I need to close all the opened documents when I changed the document style. For me, it is very expensive to do close->open. I wonder if I can move all the control (mainly an OpenGL rendered control) from the form to a new created form with the right style. I want to know if there is a better way. Thanks. I hope I understand what you are talking. You are talking about moving one control to the other form in design mode , right May be you can consider writing macro in the visual studio environment to help you easy your task. Or you can try some other 3rd party productivity tools like MZTools. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Date manipulation

  I have been trying to find a way to manipulate dates. I am aware of the DateDiff and the DateAdd functions, but what I need to do is subtract X amount of days from a date to give me another date. For example a report I am creating is going to show the past 15 days of progress. I know what the current day is of course with the simple Date.Today, but I have no idea what the date was 15 days earlier. Is there some function that I have been unable to find that will allow me to do a DateSubtract and let me find the date X amount of days prior I am using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and am coding in Visual Basic. dern it......also banging my head..... this helped me......the answer....not the head banging ...Show All

• SQL Server table items custom sort

  hello i am currently trying to port a "Business Objects" report to SQL Server Reporting Services. in B.O., there is a possibility to define the order of the table values by previewing the table values and moving them up or down. Example : the dataset contains data for 3 items, so in the Custom Sort window, I will see these 3 items and I can order them by moving them up or down in a listbox. is this possible to do in Reporting Services that is a solution, however what bothers me is that the person who will modify the reports will need to have SQL programming knowledge. it would have been cleaner to be able to modify this at report layout level. ...Show All
