• Christian Niehaves The report definition for report 'xxx' has not been specified

  Hello, I have to confess that I never did anything with reporting services, reports, or whatsoever. For a rather huge database application (based on sql express) I thought it might be best to do the printing with local reports, which I planed to bind to the objects, I already used as data layer in my project. I created a simple report (just a table, with two fields), bound the report to the ReportViewer-Control, set the bindingsource-proper ...Show All

Edit.GoToOutputWindowNextLocation is used for navigating the Output Window and in the default key binding scheme, nothing shows up as bound to that command. However, in practice it appears to be bound to F8 (as if it is sharing the Edit.GotoNextLocation command binding). And F8 works whether or not the o ...Show All
