• SQL Server Role Playing dimensions Currency Conversion issue

  Hi, Having issues with Currency Conversion in SSAS when using role playing dimensions of Time. When the Dim Usage in the cube is set for the role playing dimensions, i.e. defining the relation between the Exchange rate fact and the role playing time dims. the base $ measures (no calculations) return a null value. The generated conversion script in Calculations has leaves(Time), not the leaves for each role playing dim. With leaves for each along with leaves(time), the base measures return null.

• Community Chat so the Zune's a flop

  or so says every review I have read. anyone have any sources saying otherwise installation HORROR stories. questionable collection of "features." incompatibility with WMP and pretty much any non-Zune marketplace source for music. handicapped wifi. I was on the verge of pre-ordering a Zune, but Microsoft has jaded me over the years, so I held off. I think I'm pretty happy with that decision. ahmedilyas wrote: it's only JUST been released ... how can one say its a flop far from it IMHO. its typical when anti MS people like to criticise something that doesnt go their way initially. You should buy it IF you like it and IF you find it useful for you, not what other people say or think. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Lookup Tables

  On my Windows form in VB.Net 2003 I want to display the status of a Work Order. The 1 Char status code is stored in my W/O table Access Db, I also have another table that describes each Status Code. 1 Char for Code and 10 Char for status. When I load my form to display the W/O record I want to be able to take the status code from the W/O table and lookup the status description from the Status table. Can anyone suggest the most efficient way of doing this I have thought of using a multi dimensional array that would load up all my status records at the beggining of running the program but couldn't get that to work. I also looked at Hashtables, to no avail. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks tattoo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multi-dimension arrays in VC++ 2005 for n00bs

  Okay, a little background: I'm an aerospace engineer, not a programmer, but I'm experienced in C, and I'm using VS2005 to make some simple-ish tools for our group. I'm trying to declare a multi-dimensional array in VC++ through the 'standard' method... double test[5][5]; ...and then access it in the 'standard' way... test[0] = something I'm putting in there.; ...but it's not working. When I debug, the Watch says that test is a double[][] of length 5. So far, so good, but when I expand it, instead of the 'standard' syntax, it comes up like this.... test[0,1] Length 0 double[] test[0,2] Length 0 double[] ...and so on. I've dug through our copy of MSDN, and online and there ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debug.WriteLine not outputting anything!

  I have had this problem for a while now, which I have just helped by using a form with a rt box. It's beginning to make life a pain, and I was wondering if anyones having this problem to... Debug.Writeline works with c# properly by the way. This is correct that for VB Express the Debug output shows up in the immediate window. If your using VSTS, it will appear inb the Output window. I seem to recall there was a setting under debugging in VS that will allow you to redirect all output to the immediate window - In VS it isnt set but this is set by default in VB Express and the IDE doesnt present you with this menu allowing you to change it. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Microsoft Contacts Control

  I want to develop a custom control such as Contacts. I could reuse this Contacts in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms namespace. But only disadvantage is this control takes data from Contacts source. I want to get this type of information from Calllog and SIM as well. What type of control they are using/I have to use to display Name and Number under one column but in two lines Thanks, Vijay The .NET Compact Framework does not implement a multi-line list box.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using an animated GIF instead of busy cursor

  I am trying to use an animated gif in my form to indicate that it is in a busy state, but I am having trouble doing so. I first try adding an animated gif to a PictureBox and make it visible when the work is being done, like this... private void btn_ADOTest_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { pb_Working.Visible = true; //My PictureBox containing an animated GIF - make it appear ... //Do some work here - in this case reading from and writing to an Access DB ... pb_Working.Visible = false; //Make the image disapper } The trouble here is that the animated gif does not animate. I then tried to put the animated gif on a different thread, but had no luck. Any ideas would be very helpful. Apologies i ...Show All

• SQL Server Union All Component

  I am using a Union All component in a Data Flow Task. I have 3 Input OLE DB Sources connecting to the 1 Union All component. And then the Union All component connects to OLE DB Destination component. Everything looks good, but for some reason, for every time the Data Flow Task runs, 3 rows are inserted into my table. Why is that Isnt Union All joining all fields, and then just inserting 1 final row to my table. What am I doing wrong or what should i do to just insert 1 row in my table.
