• Visual Studio Team System Checking in - Developer Comments & Other Comments

  When checking in code, we put a requirement in that developers must comment what they did in the "Developers Comment" section (Check-in Notes). This is not displayed anywhere, in any email or on any web page in TFS. Regular comments are. Is there a way to display "check in Notes", or instead of doing this, require that developers put comments in the "Comment" section where they see the files they're checking in This way our CSR's can see what our developers comments are when they check in code. You'll need to install the dll on all of the developers machines the VS\common7\ide\privateassemblies directory should do. You also need to create a registry entry under: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8 ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing SSAS2005 from DTS

  Hi, I have a requirement to process SSAS2005 cubes from DTS. Anyone know how to do this or does anyone have any recommendations I've done a search on this forum and came up with teh following which was no help at all unfortunately: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=198374&SiteID=1 -Jamie Unfortunately I am pretty sure AS 2000 does not support the XMLA process command. The best work around I can think of in order to process AS 2000 objects using SOAP would be to write your own web service that used DSO to process the cube. You would need to have the web service running under a domain account that was a member of the OLAP Administrators group to get this working. ...Show All

  Hi, I am learning Visual studio 2005 Express Suites (very new learner).

I am confused as to how to phrase the WHERE clause - basically it would ...Show All
