Visual Studio Team System Test Result
According to the MSDN documentation on the TS warehouse, the Test Result field (or dimension in the cube) corresponds to the timestamp at the time a test was run. They say that this is "by default". I therefore understand that there is a way to change that. Anybody know how Thanks I do not think we can change the value of the time the test was run in Test Result field. Datawarehouse is storing only the non normalized records which are actually there in the operational database in more normalized form and operational database will only store the time when the test was conducted. I also do believe that such a timestamp should not be changed since it is a historical data and modifying that may gi ...Show All

Community Chat Virtual Intelligence, AI
People we need to talk about this. When people talk about this, they say its based on storing and retriving information. The learning process for the computer would be to save as much information as possible from its interactions with the environment. But when I think about this, I feel its a restriction to learning. Consider this, when we are small adding two numbers 2 and 3, would be done on fingers or on a peace of paper. But when we grow up we dont use the fingers or paper. So my point is: The input(add 2 and 3) remains the same, also the output(5) remains the same. So where did the process of learning go. Thus, I would suggest that a machine should not only learn and save in information, it should also learn to proce ...Show All
Visual C++ Controls of my dlg do not have XP style.
Hi all, Its dialog based MFC application. My problem is, controls in my dialog do not have XP style. But in VC++ IDE's design mode, all buttons, edit boxes have XP style. I hope you understood what I asked, otherwise send me your mail-id I can send dialog's appearance in BMP image format. Thanks. :) Purusothaman A Normally in Visual Studio 2005, when you create MFC applications, from the MFC Application Wizard, you can select or de-select "Common Control Manifest" from "Advanced Features" Option. Wizard will create and add the required code and manifest file in your project. For Win32 projects, you many need to manually c ...Show All
.NET Development How to make http connections to an MS SQL server and retrieve data from a data base this way?
Hi, I want to be able to use an http connection to connect to a MS SQL server and take data from a database this way. What is the easiest way to do that I was looking for some way to do that directly by connecting my application to the sql server through http but I couldn't find anything. Or maybe some proxy-like app must be used to work between my application and the sql server which transfers data Thanks beforehand, Anton Hi, The port number is fo example 1587,1589... It looks like a normal port used for a TCP/IP connection. My SQL Server version is 2005. Anton ...Show All
SQL Server Rename SQL 2005 Instance
Hi, I have a SQL Server 2005 installation, running under the instance of MyServer\SQL2005. So I have 1 instance called 'SQL 2005'. I would like to rename the instance back to the default instance.

Visual Studio Express Editions Install Trouble
If I try to install any Visual Studio Express, It will not install. I don't know what the problem is..... Please help One suggestion that I can make with out the extra information suggested above, is to make sure that your operating system meets the system requirements for the install. Then perform a windows/Microsoft update to make sure that your operating system is up to date. When that is complete try the install again.... if it does not work you can try to install the seperate components seperatly. By this I mean that you should install the .net framework version 2.0 and the SQL Express system... then re try the install. If you are still getting problems there should be a log file created in the program files directory under ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Xml Schema Validation in WCF
After having some time to actually write some code in WCF and after reading quite a bit from a few sources, i have blogged some draft thoughts on Xml Schema validation in WCF. It's pointless repeating it all here which is why i blogged it. http://stevenr2.blogspot.com/2006/08/xml-schema-validation-in-wcf-and-web.html I also have sample code of Schema validation in WSE and WCF, for the July CTP and Vista 2 builds. http://stevenr2.blogspot.com/2006/08/xml-schema-validation-in-wcf-and-web_22.html I am still in a learning process with WCF, so please feel free to tell me about anything that may/may not be exactly what happens and i'll make the modifications to the text. The code itself should work fine. Regards, Steven http://ste ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creators Club Question
It says on the Creators Club page that "Both subscriptions provide aspiring game developers with access to thousands of game assets from Microsoft and key partners such as Turbo Squid Inc., as well as white papers, specialized starter kits, samples and technical product support to help turn Your World, Your Game into a reality." So my question is... where are these game assets How can I access these or are they not out yet If they're not out yet, why am I paying for only partial advertised service Even if it's not free... where are these assets It makes no sense why they would advertise them and then you're left with trying to contact the individual partners to see if/where the assets are available... ...Show All
SQL Server username/password in DMZ
Hello, My ASP.Net 1.1 Web application should run in a DMZ machine and it needs to accesses http://MyReportServer/reportserver through ReportViewer component (RS2000). It runs if I put application on a machine in the domain but in DMZ I get username/password dialog box. What should I do I guess that you probably let the Web Server run in anonymous mode which is setup in the report server. YOu have some options here: -Activate anonymous auth. on the Report Server as well. -Use a user account for the anonymous user which has rights to access the report server. .Grab the credentials from the user / client and put it in the credential cache before authenticate at the report server. -use a fixed user name to access the report serv ...Show All
Visual C++ Automated command line build of multiple projects, but not the entire solution
I have a solution with around 300 projects that are divided into solution folders like this: solution: solution folder 1: project 1 project 2 .... project 5 solution folder 2: project 6 .... project 30 etc... In the devenv gui I can click on a solution folder and build all projects in that solution folder for a given configuration. How do I do this from the command line using either VCBuild.exe, devenv.exe, or MSBuild.exe So far all I have been able to do is build either the entire solution for 1 configuration or build it one project at a time. I cannot justify the maintenance overhead of having seperate solution files for each set of projects I want to build. Another possible solution for my problem would be a w ...Show All

I would like there to be a posibility of an unlimited number of users for my application and there to be a login, and the possibility of different areas of the application to be avaliable to different users using a "trust" column.
