• SQL Server Long wait times for simple SQL on 2005

  I have an existing application deployed on many SQL 2000 servers running without issue. We installed SQL 2005 (8 way DualCore) and the most simple trivial SQL statements are taking an extreme amount of time (e.g. an identical query in 2000 took 10 ms is taking a couple of minutes in 2005). The data in the tables being queried are very small (low row count < 400; and low row size < 1k). When profiling 2005 we see the connection going into a status of 'suspended' with a wait type of 'ASYNC_NETWORK_IO'. There just simply is not enough data being retrieved for a lag to occur returning data to the client. Has anyone seen anything like this Any thoughts I haven't seen anything relating to NETWORK_IO, ...Show All

• SQL Server Saving changes in MDX

  Hi, I have written a report in Reporting Services 2005 which gets its data from a cube. I want to edit the mdx generated by the Mdx builder in RS 2005, so I click on the "design mode" button to do this. However, when i make the changes, i cannot save it. How can I do this Thanks, Ashleys. The only time it seems that you can't save the mdx changes are when they are not syntactically correct. Paste the same query into management studio and see if it runs w/o errors (and if you have @parameters in the query, use actual valuse for them instead). ...Show All

• Visual C++ Constructors for global variables are not called???

  I have a VC++ project B that is linked into a static library "B.lib". This library is linked into project A which creates A.exe. The constructors for the global varaiables in B do not get called. 1. If I have golbal variables in A then there is no problem - the constructors for those get called. 2. I f the solution (Project A and B) get linked on my coleagues computer then there is no problem. 3. The whole soltion is shared between us via rational clearcase so we have the same sources and the same project files. - so it must be one of the flags of visual studio - but which Thanks, D. dannyg View Public Profile Find all posts by dannyg Add dannyg to Your Buddy List ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is it possible to consume a VB.Net .dll from C (unmanaged not c++)

  I have a VB.Net dll that contains functionality I need to access from a C program. As GetProcAddress won't get me where I need to go (right ) and I cannot create an instance of anything (C not C++) is there a route possible to loading this library Gordon, Thanks for bearing with me on this. I am treading into unknown territory and the only thing I am finding is just how lost I am. First let me clarify that I am using the VS 2003 IDE not VS 2005 so gcnew and handles are not available (right ). Anyway, after much finagling I seem to have something that works. Well, at least the code you gave me can be compiled into something that runs. Now I have to see if I can apply this new found (oh alright given) k ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can ClickOnce provide an 'Uninstall' method?

  I'd like to make it easy for users to uninstall a ClickOnce program. Is there a way to set ClickOnce to include an uninstall option Either as a link on the publish.html page, Or in the startup group created in StartUp > All Programs David: Thank you for your response. I feared that was the answer: The same one I reached after far too much time researching the question. Doesn't it seem reasonable that the Click-Once approach include an "Uninstall" option Certainly providing the user with such a handy, easy-to-use option wouldn't harm security, would it Again, thanks.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving Information

  Hello, I a making a program that will be opened once a day probably and some information will be imputed. How can I save the informaition to be used at a later date. I basically need to use something that is like a variable accept that the variable will be saved and after the program is closed and opened again it can be used. thanks Average Joe there are a good few topics about this.

It really depends what type of information is to be saved and who is going to be accessing it. When the program closes, simply save the data you want either when the us ...Show All

• SQL Server Interactive sorting of a list

  I have a list data region that has column headings outside the list. I would like to be able to click a column heading and sort the list. However I cannot do this because the scope of the header can't access the list. Has anyone sorted a list by clicking textbox column headings Please help. Hi Patrick- In general, when applying a user sort, you can sort items that are at the same scope, or are in a child scope. You might try setting the textbox to sort on the data set wihch the list is using, and then set the sort expression scope to details. If you are using RS 2005, I've included a sample RDL below. Just copy the text to a file, rename the extension to .rdl and open it in report designer. -Jon ...Show All
