• SQL Server Need advise on SSIS?

  I am very new in SSIS. I have the Report Server set up with two dozen of the OLAP reports in it. The reports are connected to the OLAP database on a seperate computer running on Sql 2005 server and the data source for the OLAP DB is pointed to the warehouse database on another computer running on Sql 2000 server. The warehouse server updates daily from a number of "Production" Sql servers running on Sql 6.5 and Sql 7.0 with the legacy front-end data entry application. I know the update from the "Production" Sql 6.5/7.0 servers to the warehouse server complete around 9am in the morning everyday. How do I set up a package in SSIS to schedule the update of the OLAP database say 9:30am so that end-user can have the latest d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why does my displayed mesh dim when rotating on an LCD TV?

  Hi; I'm currently doing my programming on a 37 inch Sharp Aquos TV. My game is loading a moderately large mesh (64x64 triangles) and displaying it on screen in wire-frame mode. The strange thing is, when I rotate the mesh .....the mesh dims! At a rough guess, it's only 50% of the brightness it's displayed at when not being rotated. Because I run my apps at full speed for performance testing (about 459 FPS currently) at first I suspected that as I had synchronise with vertical retrace turned off, parts of the mesh were not being drawn in intermittent frames, therefore resulting in the overall apparent dimming. But when I set this.isfixedtimestep to true and turned on synchronise with vertical retrace ... the same thing happens! AT 60FPS ...Show All

• SQL Server Advantages of using nonclustered index after using clustered index on one table

  Hi everyone, When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it Thanks see more info on the other post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=522859&SiteID=1 creation of Clustered index must happen first because if NCIs are created first. The creation of a clustered index later will force the recreation of all the NCIs to force it to use CI's rather than RID as loca ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development display="none" not applying to child buttons

  I've tried Peter's scrolling menu example from his blog. I cannot get it to work because the buttons are displaying even though the parent div is set to display="none". I then created a test page with different buttons with their parent divs set to display none. That isn't working - the display style applied to the div is not being applied to the buttons. That has got to be a bug in the new sim right Can anyone else produce this Are you using style:display="none" rather than just display="none" Note that you don't need "inherit" on the children since, by definition, if a parent is not displayed then none of its children will be. The sample was written for the latest iHDSim. I will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customization of test conditions?

  Hello everybody, IMHO list of test conditions for a Database Unit Test is too restricted, and of course I'd like to customize both list itself, and parameters in existing conditions. Is there any way to do it Jon We're using the database professional testing functionality but are not .Net developers. You're workaround would be very useful to us. If you could post the VB equivalent of: results[0].DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0].ToString() that would be a great. Thanks. Mark ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ALERT ! Copying many Files/Dirs between Disk's unstabilizes Vista ! Results are inpredictable !

  Hello World as I already explained in my Thread " Copying Files from USB-HD to internal HD: Explorer Out of Memory ! " a few Days ago, this very Severe Error in Vista seems ***NOT*** to be USB-Bound - this Error also occurs if You Copy larger Amounts of Files/Dirs between INTERNAL Harddisks ! So I recently tried to Copy a Root-Dir from Drive D (internal to my System, SATA) to Root-Dir of Drive C (also internal, SATA - this is ANOTHER physical Disk, not just another Partition). The Root has 973 Dirs and 17'614 Files - 1.87 GB of Data. After Drag/Drop from D to C the Copy-Dialog opens and tells my that 18'588 Elements will be Copied. After about 16'373 Elements I get the Error Dialog like "Explorer Out of Memory". After t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions reflection - createInstance on an object which doesn't have parameterless constructor.

  Hi, I am using reflection to all the class in a dll and their methods. While invoking some of the methods, my call to Activator.CreatorInstance fails since the class didn't have a parameterless constructor. Is it possible to find the constructors (with the parameters) and then create the object with those parameters Ignatius You can use Activator.CreateInstance(Type, Object[]) to automatically invoke the right constructor. For example: using System; public class Test { public Test(bool arg) { Console.WriteLine("bool constructor used"); } public Test(int arg) { Console.WriteLine("int constructor used"); } public Test(string arg) { Console.WriteLine(" ...Show All

  We are incorporating some OLAP cubes into our secure website and what to restrict the cubes information base on the person or client logged in.

Your Image quality loss may be more significant then if you used some enterprise class Image manipulation library such as Pegasus which is designed for designing applications like Photoshop and the likes.
