Windows 7 64bit and a crashing Citrix XenApp Client

We're starting to use Windows 7 64bit for Developer Desktops (well, three of us so far that are willing to be early adopters). One of the things we had a problem with was logging into a Citrix remote-desktop; it would give the user a "CDViewer has stopped working". Here are the diagnostics: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: cdviewer.exe Problem Signature 02: 11.2.0.31560 Problem Signature 03: 4aac18be Problem Signature 04: DesktopViewer Problem Signature 05: 11.2.0.31560 Problem Signature 06: 4aac18ba Problem Signature 07: 105 Problem Signature 08: 80 Problem Signature 09: System.IO.InvalidDataException OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 (translate)

Microstrategy 9: Carving A New Dimension in Proactive Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence, in practice, provides decision makers with informative, robust reporting on the functioning of their business. It has evolved over time, but it is still a fairly new concept. It's based on the idea that aggregation and summarization of operational data into meaningful information can drive business decisions and steer an organization to optimal performance. How this is done: An organization needs to evolve to get to a level where their key decision makers are acting proactively to steer the company in the most profitable direction. This means establishing a data collection framework built around the operational needs. Then, (translate)

Importing Excel Spreadsheets. The Easy Way

Recently I was asked to import data into our system using a spreadsheet provided by the client. There are, of course, numerous ways to go about this, including using tools built into SQL Server (DTS/SSI). However, I wanted to provide tool that the client could use to perform these imports themselves, in the future. The obvious choice was a web-based tool. The client is used to web-based interfaces and I could also leverage some new functionality in ColdFusion 9. I knew that ColdFusion now has the cfspreadsheet tag, and it was a great opportunity to test this. The spreadsheet provided (translate)

Flex 3 to Flex 4 migration tidbit: Enhanced Constraints

Flex 4 of course introduces the new line of Spark components that replace the Flex 3 based Halo ones - although you can use Halo and Spark containers/components together. One interesting tidbit is that both Halo and Spark support the notion of constraints, which is an option you can use for visual layout, by being able to anchor visual components from the edges or center of containers. E.g. That above example would anchor the button to the bottom right, regardless if the user resizes the browser. However, as far as I know there's no Spark container that supports enhanced constraints. (translate)

Report builder and style issues

I started working with Report Builder today and things were going along just fine. I was making some changes to the report, and adding in a bunch of styles, then ended up with some really wierd results once i shut the reports down and tried to open them back up again. What appeared to be happening was that items that i had set up with a style were not staying set and that the report builder was forgetting the association with style. But that turned out not to be the case. I decided to investigate a bit more and found (translate)
