I am migrating SSAS cube into icCube. can anyone suggest to how to write SSAS's SCOPE() functionality into icCube? is there any equivalent functionality available in icCube?
Just see this question now... sorry.
No, there is no such thing as a SCOPE function.
Instead, I use an IF ... THEN ... ELSE condition in the definitions of my calculated members, hereby getting similar results as the SCOPE functionality.
Hope that helps.

I'm attempting to setup Entity Framework using Code First on an existing database. The database isnt in great shape (poor naming convention and some constraints are needed). The application I'm building is an MVC app. I have a "Model", "Repository", and "Web" (mvc) tiers.
To setup EF and map my model objects (POCO objects), is it required that I match my objects to database tables? Can I, instead, use my own stored procedures for CRUD operations? Would it help if I use WCF data services?
I'm planning on using fluent configurations to map my objects, but having some issues due to the database schema. I'm know considering redesigning the database just to get EF to map correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Looks awfully similar to this question:
Does Entity Framework Code First support stored procedures?
The answers there may be helpful to you, as well as the discussion surrounding how Code First and Stored Procedures don't make a whole lot of sense.
Wow, Julie Lerman answered!
Yes, it's possible, but not particularly easy. In particular, you must call context.Database.SqlQuery<T>() where T is the entity type you want to return, and your SQL must match up to that entity type. Otherwise, you will have to massage a result set into a type.
In general, you will have to do most of this manually, although you could probably figure out a T4 template to generate it for you, or maybe use some other tool like CodeSmith.
I'm using Spring-roo to build my project, it's a very great tool. But when I want to sort the entities on GUI, I cannot find a sort support in generated finders. I don't want to modify these auto-generated files, so I ask here anyone knows how to add sort function in finders or in some other ways? Thanks
There are some options for sorting in the comments for spring roo jira issue: ROO-158. You can find the link here
This is my first time using S#arp Architecture 2.0 in a project.
There is two folders in tasks project : Commands and CommandHandlers.
I shearch about it and tried to undestand by the cookbook project what do i have to put there. I am imagining that i have to do something like it was before: a "viewToModel" function and a SaveOrUpdate in the IRepository.
Somebody can explain the "Commands and CommandHandlers" or/and give me a good documentation about it?
Thanks a lot!
Have you seen the Cookbook wiki? Using commands?
From your questions, I understand you are after some sort of CRUD functionality, in which case going for a command and handler approach might be overkill, just load the entity in your controller, copy values from the form and save it. Using commands is more suited for a Task based UI and where there is some behavior you want on the entities.
I'm Looking for some samples (will be better if they are open source) that enabling Programmer to Generate UI from Database.
I want to review them for the framework that i want to develop for myself.
Already i reviewed ASP.NET Dynamic Data and Nettiers.
Also i welcome your suggestions , tips , comments.
Have a look at a project I'm about to release, CodeGenerator. There is a sample project which illustrates how you can use CodeGenerator to quickly generate an entire administrative site. Have a look and let me know your thoughts.
BTW, this is just a small example of what CodeGenerator can do.
While perhaps not directly what you may want, have a look at Entity Framework Code First to let the code drive the DB model and it works well with existing databases.
Then with MVC you could use MVCScaffolding to generate your views but in this case it uses the Models not the DB directly.
It's a slightly different way than you might be looking for but it is still worth a look to help you as you look at this.
I know Linq to SQL work such as setting META attributes around your model. What i am looking to do is building my model then setting this model to work with EF 4.
Are the same approach working with EF 4 ?
Is this called the Code-First approach or its totally something else ?
Ive done some research but i can't seem to figure out how exactly to map a domain to work with EF 4. This include keys/relations integrity.
I would love to see a simple code example with some explanations.
Thanks.
Model-first development allows you to build the model in the designer, then generate the database based on that model. Code-first allows you to generate the database based on your code, or use the code to work with an existing database too.
Both those options are viable; for code-first, V5 has a lot of improvements you will want to look out for.
HTH.
