• SQL Server Parameter problem with OLAP and spaces

  Hello all, I have an issue with parameters. Let me explain..... I have report1 which uses analysis services as it's data source. The report displays a list of our companies sites along with some costs etc. Site names can include spaces and numbers but they are stored in the relational database as varchar[50]. On the relevant text box of report1 I have defined a data detsination using report2 and passing it the site name field.value. On report2 I have added the site name field as a filter dimension and set it as a parameter. On the report parameters I have set the parameter as being non queried. When I run report1 and click a value to "drill down" it only works for values that have no spaces and no numbers. If If conve ...Show All

• SQL Server Timeout Expired When Counting a Dimension

  Hi, using MSSQL 2000 - service Pack 4 Created a View in Sql server, which queries a 3 million records table, using a lot of aggregations. I used this view as the Fact table in the Cube. I related the cube to dimension tables, created dimensions and processed the cube without  problems When i tried to add a Dimension from within the Fact table, the message Unable to count.... Timeout expired is given. As a result of troubleshooting the matter, info says that whenever the FAct table is empty the above message is given, when asking from within the cube designer to browse fact table data (Top 1000 rows) a message saying "unable to retrieve data" is shown. When querying the View from within the Query Analayser, the data is shown ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Software Skins

  Does anyone here know how to make skins that are useable on Visual Basic 2005 ie.. Windows Media player optional skins style You won't be able to use Windows Media Player skins (you did say i.e. instead of e.g.), but have a browse around the internet to bring up several links on how to 'skin' your VB application. Essentially, all you will be doing is removing the title bar and border and creating your own. There are several applications out there which actually replace the windows borders (e.g. Windowblinds). [Edit:] Since you are a beginner, I'll tell you that it's not a beginner type task to do such a thing. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Database Schema Documentation and a Book?

  I've written a few tools in the past to generate simple table-style documentation from a database schema. This was generally rtf output. I'm now on a project where I have to generate documentation for the entire ASP.net application. I like SandCastle so far but I have a couple of questions: 1. Has anyone written a tool that will review a db schema and spit out xml comments that can be consumed by SandCastle I'd like to get table structures, extended comments and possibly text output of stored procedures, etc. 2. Is there a book or other material out there that would help me get squared away building help documentation and cover all my bases I am starting basically from ground zero and want to do it right.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security Pain (Vista basicHttpbinding)

  I am struggling to get my server running with the basicHttp binding over https on Vista (it is a self hosted server). The server starts up and doesn't complain but the client exceptions when I try to start it up: "An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://192.168.1.64:8081/Server/G2SServer . This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server." My first question is whether configuring http.sys is required for an application running with the basicHttp binding (this help page implies it is only necessary for WSHttpBinding ms-help://MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.NE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging release config vs. running executable

  when debugging the release configuration(Debug -> Start Debugging), my code works as i expect. when i double-click the executable in ...\bin\Release it does not work the same! ONE example is working with strings, the executable had several different types of errors (protected memory, invalid cast, etc.) that did not occur during the debug session. arbitrarily moving code around fixed the problem, but this seems really hokey!!!! i am also calling a COM dll from my code, and in the debug session of the release configuration the communication occurs happily, but when i run the executable i get the "Send Error Report To Microsoft" dialog box and the program crashes. what gives why is the code reporting errors in the executable bu ...Show All

• SQL Server Logshipping problem with naming transaction log backups

  Hey, my logshipping is working just fine but the name of the backup file is of a concern to me. It's using the name in the format of DbName_20061011200002.trn. I know 20061011 is the date. That's fine. 2000 is supposed to be the time but it's giving the wrong time. It's supposed to be 1500 because the time right now is 3pm. And I dont know why the last 2 digits before the .trn are for. Is this something new in SQL 2005 logshipping SQL 2000 didn't have it. Thank you. Is there any possibility for me to change the naming convention. I wanted to go back to SQL 2000 naming convention. Please let me know. Thank you for your help. ...Show All
