• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie Crisis

  I am trying to learn programming using VB express 2005. It is becoming very frustrating especially when you are new and your ideas can not be accomplished. This is what I would like to do an maybe someone could guide me through the steps needed to perform such actions or maybe someone who reads this would like to earn a few bucks teaching me how to program using vb. What I want to do is take my 3 contracts lets call them A,B, and C and create a simply Database for each of these contracts. I would then like to create a single user interface that will allow me to choose the contract group A, B, or C from a combolist and then in a listbox it will display all of the names of my clients in that contract group. Then I could select an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Service Account

  Hello! We are about to install TFS RTM version. The install guide suggests 4 different domain accounts before we start installation. But, per company policies, the system admins are trying to avoid the number of production service accounts created due to some policies. Is it a good idea to create one service account (prodtfsservice) that has all the admin rights (like tfssetup qaccount mentioned in the install guide) and use it across for setup, service and reports purpose What risks do we potentially run into if we do this Thanks! Setup will require you to have at least 2 separate accounts. I believe it checks that the service account is different from the reporting account. I cannot remember ...Show All

• SQL Server SQRT in Analysis Services

  Hello guys, I need to create a calculated measure that uses the square root function but there isn't a function in AS for that. On the other hand I can't calculated de SQRT in my Data Source View because the formula needs to be made at the cube level to get the needed results. Any suggestion Thanks!

• Visual Studio Express Editions PS

  Maybe it's not C#, but whatever it is, it's not familiar to me. What I want to do is to type in something like "ostream" and have it take me to an appropriate page. I did manage to naviagate to the MSDN help system (although I've already forgotten how I did that). But it did not come up with a search box or a useful index. Things are organized by categories, like input and output. I really am impressed with C++ Express. And the price literally can't be beat. But I must say, for a decade, every time MS improves a product, the help system becomes more difficult to navigate. I go to the entry for _popen. It contains a link: ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.PSDKSVR2003R2.1033/dllproc/base/creating_a_child_proce ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Query returning top levels of dimension hierarchy

  Hi, I use AS2000 which contains the cubes and dimensions. I issue a MDX query using ADOMD and then bind the results to and Asp.Net data grid.

• Windows Live Developer Forums layer icons

  I read somewhere about using a different icon for each pushpin, is this possible when importing a layer via xml What I am doing is this: I have a Filemaker DB that I am exporting scheduled jobs, unscheduled jobs into an xml file and styling it to geoRSS with an xsl file. I have 7 installers, it would be nice to be able to have 7 different icons instead of 7 different layers.... is it possible to put the url of the icon in the xml If so, anyone have an example of how this might be done TIA Bob Nice! I think I will try both ways, the seperate layers and the one layer different icons, to see if there is any performance hit one way or the other. This will be pretty easy to implement and wil ...Show All

• Visual C++ MessageBoxW and converting to LPCWSTR

  Hi MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Message Box Title -- Hello World", MB_OK); Error: error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' IDE:VS2005 I don't understand why it gives this error. Can you please tell me what the problem is and how i can solve it. Thanks Actually using the 'L' prefix only tells the compiler that each element of the string is type wchar_t (or unsigned short) the compiler itself knows nothing about the actual encoding of the string - it could be UTF-8, UTF-16 even UTF-32 - or some other non Unicode encoding. There is a proposal before the C++ Committe to add support for Unicode string literals to C ...Show All

• SQL Server how to deploy a solution created onto different system

  Hi, I have a solution with it packages, and the solution is running. Now, I want to deploy the same solution onto other server machine. What would be the best way to do this Any suggestions regarding this Well, if your packages are stored as file system files; the only think you have to do is to copy the packages files (.dtsx) onto the new SSIS server along with configuration files (if any). Project, Solution and datasource files do net need to be copied for deployment proposes. I don't know if that is the 'right' way or not but that's how I do it. I know the procedure is different if you are storing the packages in a DB.   Update: I just googled 'SSIS deploy' and found some paper ...Show All
