• SQL Server text box sending large amounts of text to next page Microsoft please help

  I have a report that has a text box called Fields!ResolutionText. If the resolution is small the whole report stays on one page. If the Resolution is a long one, the whole text box goes to the next page, leaving the first page w/ only 1/3 with information on it and a huge blank space. How can I force the information on to the first page and to fill the first page before putting the rest of the text on to the second page. Any help would be appreciated. In SSRS 2005, text boxes are always kept together. If the text box will span a page boundary and can fit completely in one page alone, then it will be moved to the next page. If the text ...Show All

• SQL Server sql mobile database connection on a desktop application

  Hello, Was wondering if its possible with VS 2005 to create and populate a SQL Server Ce database on the desktop Reason why I'm asking is it takes a very long time (~40 minutes) to process xml and insert the values into the sdf database on the Pocket PC.

• Visual C# Databound combobox with narrative

  Hi all, Using C# in VS2005 on WinXP Pro. I have a combobox bound to a dataset. The dataset binding is done first then I load a narrative to the combobox using the .Text property.
