• Visual Studio System Error &Hc0000005&

  On occassion, I'm having issues where the background compilation, or the normal user compilation, is giving me this error. Once I get it once in a solution, I get it continually. Immediately after this error is thrown, my method name and class name dropdowns on a .vb page show only "Empty." I can usually still build and test, but sometimes it will just end up in a neverending string of errors. I saw the KB article on ADDHANDLER and REMOVEHANDLER, but I don't have either of these in my solution yet. I'm using Visual Studio 2005, specifically, an ASP.NET Website written in VB.NET.

• SQL Server Connection problem. Business Scorecard Manager 2005 and SSAS 2005.

  Hello, I have a problem creating a ADOMD connection from BSM 2005 to SSAS 2005.

• SQL Server sql 2005 and exchange server

  dear all i have question i have active directory in server and echange in sepreate serverand i need to install sql2005 server i think it not recommended to setup sql in both server is it true /please reply on mail address under aelshafei@qtit.com Hi, if you need Report Services or other IIS based SQL features I would not put it on the Exchange Server as that might interfere with OWA of Exchange. Sometimes Domain Controllers are special because they do not have local security groups or users only the domain groups and users. So you might need special attention to neither expose the DC nor SQL to security threats. As Windows Small Business can run everything on one machine, it should be possible. But if ...Show All

• .NET Development ASP.NET, low tier caching

  Hi, I'm developing a web application that has a DAL and a BLL. The DAL is composed by a set of TableAdapters and typed DataTables. As the data displayed in the home page of the web application it's only changed once a month I want to cache some of the data. I've found some solutions about caching in the ASP.net server controls but that would signify an enormous dependency from the top layer to the lowest one. So, I think that the best option here is to cache de data in the DAL, the problem is that, as I use TableAdapters and DataTables the code is generated and Im not finding the way to accomplish my requirements using SQLDependencies in partial classes. Let's see if with some of your great advices I get out of this mess. T ...Show All

• Windows Forms Desktop and Start Menu Icon?

  How do I have the Windows installer / setup in VS 2005 place an application icon on the desktop and start menu when the installer installs the application and support files. Nothing in the property pages, and can't find documentation. The File System view in a setup project shows User's Desktop. If you want a shortcut on it, right-click the exe (in your Application Folder in the File System view, probably), create shortcut, and drag&drop to User's Desktop. Same with Start menu after you've added some folders like Company Name, Product name. ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic goal for a KPI?

  Hi! I'm new in SSAS and I'm stuck. Here's my problem : The goal of my KPI has to change (every month or every year). I could enter these different values with an MDX expression such as CASE WHEN <date condition> THEN goal-1-value ... END but i'd like it (different values of the goal) to be stored in a database. So my question is : Is it possible to get back these values from an MDX expression If not is there another way to get these values from database in SSAS Thanks in advance, Philippe Assuming that you do store the goal values in a table, you coud add a measure group, with a measure for the goal value, to the cube. Then this "goal" measure can be directly accessed in MDX. ...Show All
