• SQL Server Share calculated members between cubes

  Other than copying and pasting the text from the script view, is there any way to share calculated members between cubes I have two cubes that have some common facts, and would like to be able to point both at the same script for calculated members, so that any changes only have to be made in one place. Thanks, Sam It is bit strange. You should be able to use perspectives to hide measures you dont need. In Analysis Services 2005 you should try and consolidate your cubes into the single one, it simplifies modeling, simplifies management. Provides a single source of data for client applications.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office ThisApplication_Startup not being called - ie. plugin not loading

    I have written an outlook plugin using VSTO. The plugin loads fine and works great if the user clicks on the outlook icon. On the other hand, if outlook is started via automation and then outlook is opened, the plugin does not load. These cases are described below. When the user signs on to windows xp with activesync set to run on startup. ActiveSync syncs with outlook by starting it through, AFAIK, automation. Now when the user opens Outlook by clicking on the outlook icon,  the plugin is not loaded. Another example is when the user has Outlook closed and they click on an oft file on their desktop, and then open Outlook, the plugin is not loaded. Please advise. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C# Web method accessing local odbc

  I wrote a simple web application that has only one web method that accesses the local odbc on the server. When I call the web method from a client application, I keep on getting the following error: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified The odbc connection on the server works fine, and the dsn I put in the code is correct. I guess it has something to do with the environment, but I don't know how it can be fixed. Does anyone have any idea Thanks! I assume your DSN is a System DSN and not a User DSN, yes  Is the database driver associated with your DSN an Oracle driver I've found that the ASPNET user generally doesn't have access ...Show All

• Visual Studio The data source object is invalid

  Hi, I'm getting this exception when trying to use .SetDataSource() on the report. How can I track this down Thanks, Mike Edit: The only reference I saw to this is when using 95/98/ME platforms and a Classic ADO RecordSet. This is not the case, as I'm using XP Pro sp2 and a business object. Well, this is pretty interesting. It looks like there are four .SetDataSource methods - you can either pass it a DataSet, DataTable, IDataReader or IEnumerable. My object I'm attempting to pass doesn't derive from any of these types, and yet it still compiles. The following code produces "false" for all four Debug statements, and throws the data source object is invalid on the last line. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can I use WCF in .NET 2.0 or does it need some extra library

  Hi, This is probably a dumb question but I need to know the absolute correct answer. I want to design a service for an organisation who is thinking about using .NET 2.0.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Reset Validation Error

  How do I programmatically reset the red error dots in my rehosted designer. I have some code that updates a dependency property to conform with the activity validation upon it. This all works well, only the red error dot doesn't vanish even though it is resolved. If I drop another activity onto the designer, or move activities them about etc, it will then remove the dot. Is there some kind of validate method that I can call that will recheck my validation after I have updated the property I have even tried calling the validator manually like so. foreach (System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Compiler. Validator validator1 in manager1.GetValidators(activity.GetType())) { validator1.Validate(manager1, activity); } This r ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Linking Pixel shaders via ID3DXFragmentLinker

  Question for the Black belts out there: I am writing a material editor application where i would like to let the user select different pre-written pixel and vertex fragments to work with to create a combined "effect". The interface finds all of the constants and displays the allowing the user to change things like material diffuse, specular power etc. I am familiar with how to use the fragment linker but I think i am missing something conceptually whenusing with with pixel fragments. In the dx samples they make it look like the fragment linker may be used to cascade outputs of fragments, i.e. linking a fragment for diffuse or ambient lighting followed by fragment for animation or not (as per the samples) How can i do this with pi ...Show All
