• Visual Studio More custom code questions

  I've been through Brian Likes's custom code blog entries and I can get code to work but only the easiest of examples. I'm using a local report rather than SQL reporting services so I think that a custom assembly might be easier in my case, and hopefully the deployment code (likely ClickOnce) will understand that there is a referenced assembly. But using a custom assembly or even just local code, I can get Hello World to work but I can't figure out how to pass the report variables such as Field!MyPerson.Value to the code in order to do anything useful. If anyone has a suggestion as the the passing mechanism I would greatly appreciate an example. I'm getting a compile error about an instance requiring an object reference. I declared my f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can't see Outlook add-in when deploying for All Users

  Hi All, I've developed Outlook 2003 Add-In using VSTO 2005. 1) When I install it for one user (Registry settings are for HKEY_CURRENT_USER): The Add-In works and I can see it in the 'Com Add-Ins' dialog. 2) When I cut the registry entries from HKEY_CURRENT_USER and paste them in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: The Add-In works for all users but I cannot see it in 'Com Add-Ins' dialog. In both cases the values of the registry keys is exactly the same (I checked the parameters one by one) - only the location is different. My Office version is 2003 SP1. Is it a bug How can I fix it Thanks, Skapol This is a known issue. Addins that are installed to HKLM are not shown in the COM-Addins ...Show All

• SQL Server Error trying to create cube partition

  I've converted 4 AS2000 databases to AS2005. In just one of these databases, I am not able to add any partitions to any of the cubes. As soon as I click the "New Partition" link, get the following error: The wizard will close because of the following error: An item with the same key has already been added (mscorlib). I get this error if I try to create a parition from either Visual Studio 2005 or SQL Server Management Studio. AS2005 version is 9.00.2047.00. I can add paritions to cubes in other databases on the same server. I've been all over looking for help on this, with no luck at all. If anyone can help me, I'd sure appreciate it.

• SQL Server money format

  Hi. I have a money field and its value is greater than a thousand.For example its value = 32.885,60 I want to show the field's format like this (this number's format). I mean the thousand separator should be .(dot) and the decimal separator should be ,(comma) And I want two digit after the decimal separator.All these conditions matches with this number(32.885,60) Could you help me You can accomplish this by adjusting the Language property for the textbox, or the entire report to a language that uses this format. The language settings can be specific to just number formats when just setting the NumeralLanguage property on the textbox. After setting these properties, just use "N" as the format code.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making a conttrol movable, 90% working need a little more help.

  I have a usercontrol with a label spanning across the top of it like a title bar. I have successfully got the usercontrol to move around the screen when a user left-mouse- button click and hold on the "titlebar label" My problem is if the mouse is moved too fast, the pointer "disconnects" from the control label and the move stops working since I am no longer on the header. Here is my code: two function, one for the initial left mouse down, and the other for the movement. Is there a better way to have the usercontrol move around the screen. Think of it like this, the user control is like a mini window, and I want to be able to drag the usercontrol around the screen via a "title bar label" and the below ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A VERY simple question. I'm obviously missing something -er- obvious

I've done the From DOS/BASIC->QBasic->VB3----->VB6 as well as some delphi, C, C++, lost of PHP a bit of ASP, some MySQL and some MSSQL, So I didn't think VS2005 would be a real problem (and after a month I'm starting to get my head around it), however, I devided to make a program to start learning somethign 3D-ish.

• Architecture SOA and supporting products

  Hello I am a naive in implementing SOA using MS products, and forgive me, I mean SOA not just WebServices. I was wondering if there are products that supports WSE, Contemporary WebServices, I mean, other SW vendors provide Servers SW for managing orchestration, deploying BPEL, and so on. Does MS provide such software 'SW that I install directly to implement my enterprise's processes and services' I hope you can answer me. -- Thank you Most non-MS 3rd party software has roots in the Java world. E.g. for an ESB you can considers EMS from Tibco, SoniqMQ from Sonic Software, MantaRay (open source) from Coridan etc. they are all JMS compliant but also provide C# clients. The other option is ports - e.g. NetBPM ( http: ...Show All

• Visual Basic Importing and exporting of values from API and Excel to Visual Basic

  Hello guys, I am a beginner software programmer. I currently have an API (Application Programming Interface) that provides me real-time data (in the form of numbers) for the software I am developing.

• SQL Server Cube from denormalized table: Several dimensions vs. one dimension with several attributes

  Hi, I want to build a cube in AS2005 from a denormalized table. The table consists of facts from the last three years, with all interesting attributes (about 12) in a seperate column of this table. Actulally this attributes would form three dimensions (semantically). I thought of two different approaches to structure the cube: 1. Building a separate dimension for each attribute or 2. Building three dimensions (or to be more radical : one dimension) that contains all attributes In my understanding, with the new concept of attribute based hierarchies, both variants should have the same effect on aggregations, performance and so on. Only difference would the structure shown to the user . Is this right Does a ...Show All
