• SQL Server olap and hierarchy problem

  Hi. This is an OLAP question. I have a dimension which is a father-son dimension. I built the cube in analysis server. In the analysis browser I can see the dimension fine, I hant my reporting services report to show that dimension. The problem is that the report won't show me that dimension in hierarchy tree (even if I check drill down) but flatten it down. Does some one know if report service can handle those kind of reports Thanks. Hi Teo, Thanks for your replay, Its hard to find help and support for Olap and for Olap and SSRS on the net. Its very disappointing to hear that RS does not support OLAP (and for me, if it can't handle parent-child dimension it can't handle olap). Looks like we will have to ...Show All

• .NET Development Registering System.EnterpriseServices.dll trouble

  I am unsure if this is the proper place to post this. My apologies if I am in the wrong place but... While trying to run a new program, I discovered that I needed the .NET framework v2, which I then downloaded. Everytime I attempted to install it would stop at Registering System.EnterpriseServices.dll. The system wouldn't hang. I got no error messages. It just wouldn't proceed. After waiting about 1/2 hour, I would have to use Windows Task Manager to stop the program. Help! Bob Hesch Ps. I am an average home user with good Windows skills but without any programming experience. I have a Compaq Presario 5000 - Athlon 1Ghz processor running XP Home, 640 MB of DDR RAM. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Significance of Unlock flag in 'WorkflowPersistenceService' ??

  Hi, I'm currently analysing the use of 'unlock' flag provided in the 'WorkflowPersistenceService' class.As I would like to write a 'Custom' Persistence service. protected override void SaveWorkflowInstanceState(System.Workflow.ComponentModel. Activity rootActivity, bool unlock ) Observations: 1)I always see that unlock is set to true whenever the above method is called to persist an instance. 2)Also the SQL stored proc's provided in the labs handle two cases for 'Unlocked' =0 &'Unlocked'=1...Why is it so 3)As far as my understanding goes this flag means that an instance is being unloaded from the memory and is hence unlocked,so the flag is always set as 'true'....with this assumption why are the procedu ...Show All

• Visual C++ Order of SetCapture and ReleaseCapture

  Hi All, I've written a custom button which does some special functionality. But from this button, I'm not getting BN_CLICKED event to the parent window. What I could find out is that the order of the SetCapture and ReleaseCapture API has some importance in sending messages to the toplevel or parent window. Following code describes correct code. void ButtonEx::OnLButtonDown( UINT uFlags_i, CPoint Point_i ) { SetCapture(); // Capture the mouse CButton::OnLButtonDown( uFlags_i, Point_i ); ... } void ButtonEx::OnLButtonUp( UINT uFlags_i, CPoint Point_i ) { CButton::OnLButtonUp( uFlags_i, Point_i ); ReleaseCapture(); // Release the mouse capture .... } but if I swap any of the statements for e.g CButton::OnLBu ...Show All

It was weekend - so be patient with us ;) class and struct are just different in that class members are private by default and struct are public by default. ref class or struct will create reference types.
