• SQL Server Annotations

  Is there anyway to allow my Data Flow annotations to wrap (April CTP) Thanks   DarrenSQLIS wrote: Would be nice if they actually wrapped though, so when you resize a component's screen icon, you don't have to change the hard-code line breaks. Logged this a while back. Yeah, I put in a request for font formatting and the ability embed links/images as well. Basically an editor like the one I'm curren ...Show All

A very easy way to see this happen is open two instances of Word, close the first instance of Word, then close the document (but not Word itself) of the second instance. The menu objects will now fault if you access the enabled property and they will no lo ...Show All

My question is should I continue reading it if I'm geared on becoming a professional in graphics Since 60% of our life is maintaining and upgrading previo ...Show All
