I used this to access a Cube with excel 2007 but it does not accept it.

Any other thing to make it work?

re: Building my own UserControl WebPart part VI

Interesting article, just so I'm on the right page, all this allows a SharePoint developer to write a UserControl? This in turn allows the developer access to a designer view of his/her control that he/she wants to upload the server?

2 questions I have:

1) Where do you create the '/UserControls' folder referenced earlier? Is it located somewhere in the 12 hive like 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE'?

2) I am using Windows SharePoint 3.0 Tools Visual Studio 2008 Extensions 1.2 and when I go to deploy the project MG.UserControlWebPart I get an error saying that: 'Cannot find this file specified in the manifest file: UserControlWebPart\elementManifest.xml'. Am I using the wrong VSeWSS version?

Hi, thank you very much for your article, saved my life today, I was going nuts trying to install Report Portal in Windows Server 2008 with Analysis Services 2008.

Just a quick note, I think you made a typo, where it says "In this example, it would be: C:\wwwroot\olap\msmdpump.dll" I think the correct path should be "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\olap\msmdpump.dll"

Cheers,

Since I installed the latest version I cannot access the past 2 1/2 years of my blogs on IM. It shows all my files have been dumped! If it's true, thats dirty. I never even got a notice, and I was blogging up until August of this year. What the #&&%^^~ is going on. The old worked fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

When you select an ASCX and it shows the message "Cannot save the property settings for this Web Part. One or more errors have occurred. See below for details." I don't see any thing with errors below that. Where do I look? The web part shows correctly to the left, but for some reason won't let me save. My other ASCX controls work fine. Thanks for your help.

This UserControl WebPart is awesome! This is the only way I have found to successfully use and ASCX user control as a webpart. Is Microsoft ever going to give us a component to do this?

Hi Mike, thanks for writing this, as I've been wanting to do this with AS2008. One problem though, is I cannot find the OLAP\ISAPI folder for AS2008. Does this folder exist in AS2008, or is it called something different?

Please advise.

Thanks!

re: SQL Server Tip - Shrinking a SQL Server log

Gail — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:40:10 GMT

The first option is terrible, terrible advice.

There's no guarantee that the log will be recreated. In fact, if the shutdown of the database isn't clean (which will happen if the log is full) the log cannot be recreated and the DB will not be attached.

Never, ever, ever delete the log file. This is not an answer. Also, using backup log with truncate_only can seriously jeopardize your backup/recovery methodology. Never mind that it is deprecated and no longer works in SQL Server 2008. Please see this recent blog post and read all the links that follow; I hope you will post a correction to this blog post so that more people are not lulled into the feeling that this "solution" makes sense.

Paul Randal — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:49:02 GMT

What terrible advice. You should *NEVER* manage the log by deleting it or dumping the contents using TRUNCATE_ONLY or NO_LOG - you don't even explain the implications of doing this. These commands are so dangerous my team removed them from SQL Server 2008.

Proper transaction log size management includes taking log backups, avoiding long running operations or just switching to SIMPLE. See www.sqlskills.com/.../Importance-of-proper-transaction-log-size-management.aspx (no advertizing or anything)

Thanks
