• Visual Studio No data in Reports, but the headers show up fine

  C#, VS Pro 2005..... OK, so I've tried the simple approach of creating a form, adding a CR Viewer and ReportDocument to the form, selected just one field from a table (as a simple test - I've tried more complex ones as well). When I run the app and view the form, the report shows up blank, but with the headers visible. Refresh does nothing but, well, refresh the headers. Yep, the Viewer is set to the report name.

• Windows Forms Unexpected behavior of DataGridView when adding rows

  The documentation about " Default Functionality in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control " says that "If the user scrolls to the end of the grid, the user will see that a row for adding new records is present. When the user clicks this row, a new row is added to the DataGridView control, with default values. When the user presses ESC, this new row disappears."
