• SQL Server Reports run under my credentials, not those stored on report

In BIDS (running on the SSRS 2005 server) I'm using a shared data source with "generic" credentials to access the data. The generic credentials I'm using is an account that has datareader access.

• .NET Development Some thoughts about default parameter for C#

  I've been troubled by this problem since I started to use C#. I always try to write classes that are easy to use.
