• SharePoint Products and Technologies Business Data Catalog / View Applications/ Applications / Change Setting is not present

  When you select a "Shared Services" "business data catalog" and then select "View Application", and then select a listed BDC Application, you are supposed to, according to some online MOSS demos, be able to see a selection for "Change Setup", so that you can modify the application. On both of my MOSS 2007 servers the "Change Setup" selection is not present Can someone, please, tell me why my configuration is different than the MOSS demo presenters, and how can I change my system so that I will see the "Change Setup" selection on the dropdown list when I click on the BDC Application. bighamp100, Changes to the application are performed b ...Show All

• SQL Server Is there a way to validate a Local Cube file?

  I have created a Local Cube file using 'Create Global Cube...'. However, I am unable to open it in Excel XP. Either my software configuration is incorrect, or the file is not valid. Other posts have discussed the software configuration, and mine appears to be correct. Can anyone tell me how to check the validity of the cube file itself Simple test: Try and connect to your local cube file using MDXSample application shipped with AS2000 (the same applies for 2005). In the "Server" box just provide path to your local cube file. See if you see any cubes and dimensions. Try simple MDX like "Select Measures.members on 0 from [CubeName]" Edward Melomed. -- This posting is provided &q ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolStripProgressBar/progressbar

  Can a ToolStripProgressBar/progressbar take a float value to get incremented If so then how It is not possible to use a float directly, since the property takes an int. As Rizwan stated you can convert it to an int. What exactly is your objection to converting it, why do you want to use the float if you are not bothered about the precision Thanks Mark. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office WebBrowser Control Hosting Word: How do I programmatically enable "Browse in Same Window" functionality?

  Hello, I am not certain if this is the right forum but it just may be... Having gone through a lot of KBs, Forum articles and misc websites, I still do not have an answer. My application is a C# Winform with a WebBrowser control in which I navigate to a Word Document. If "Browse in same Window" is checked, the document pops up in the Webrowser control. If it is not checked, it pops up in a new copy of Word. Is there any way that I can programmatically enable the "Browse in Same Window" functionality, navigate to the document, then reset it back to whatever it was Thank you Afzal Hi, You can probably look at that registry using regedit.exe and then change the value in the check bo ...Show All

• Visual Basic extending Intellisense for format that is semi XML semi C#

  My post may be a little bit similar to http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=505595&SiteID=1 but I thought I would give it a try :-). So I have this custom format which like this: <Root> <test foo=" bla bla "> <code> //C# sample string bla = "foo" bla .<--I want to get the intellisense option here </code> </test> </Root> Basically I would love to have the same behavior that exist in an ASPX project inside a <%%> tag or a <script> tag. I know that the XML intellisense should be pretty easy using an XSD but getting the C# intellisense inside the <code> tag is the hard part :-). Thanks in advance for your ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I get number of fields returned by query?

  Hi. I am trying to get the results of a dynamic sql statement into a #table, in order to filter them. Given that I don't know how many fields will be returned, how do I accomplish this I believe I need to create the #table in advance, and then run the dynamic string as part of an insert [eg 'insert into #table exec (@sql)' ], but in order to do this I need to know how many fields are going to be returned. The results might also be returned by a procedure rather than a simple SQL statement, so I can't just parse @sql to get the fields. As an example, declare @sql nvarchar(200) select @sql = 'select "a" as ColA, "b" as ColB' exec sp_executesql @sql returns two columns of data. I think I need to get t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem Finding Source while Debugging an ILMerged Assembly

  We're using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. I've got SP1 installed. I'm currently working with two solutions. Both solutions are built using the debug configuration. Solution A contains multiple projects that are built and then combined into one assembly using ilmerge. The ilmerge operation creates the pdb for the merged assembly. Solution B contains multiple projects that have file references pointing to the ilmerged Solution A assembly. Solution B does not reference any of the original assemblies / projects from Solution A. I'm working with both solutions, so I have all the source code contained in both solutions on my workstation. The source for Solution A is in a different directory structure than the source for Solution B ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Catch the Maximize

  So, in our game the user can resize the window proportionally, since we catch the WM_SIZING event... works fine, and DirectX scales nicely (D3D9). But when the user clicks the maximize gadget, then after maximizing, the window resizing is then disabled by windows Is there a way to catch the Maximize event, so that we resize ourselves, or is there a way to 'unlock' the window, so the user still can resize the window normally (IsZoomed returns true) thanx in advance... I havn't done D3D9 before, maybe there is better way.

• .NET Development Change Connection String based on checkbox

  Hello everyone, I'm working on a VB application in VS 2005. The application was originally built in 2003 (1.1) but I'm starting afresh - I did not want to migrate / upgrade. The application is used for 3 sites, and each site has it's own backend SQL database (all on the same central server) and all databases are set up exactly the same - it's set this way to split the data, as certain lookups and tables are site specific. On the original application, I have 3 radioboxes - Site1, Site2, Site3 appear on a form that is first loaded. Only one of these checkboxes can be checked, and when one is, a global variable is set to true, and another two to false - i.e If me.rbSite1.checked = true then varSite1 = true varSite2 = f ...Show All
