• Windows Forms Where does Windows.Forms implement the control property editor?

  When you have a property on a control of type Button and then edit it in the property window it presents a drop down with a list of all the Button instances on the form for you to choose from. This is great and works for whatever type of control or component the property is defined as. But I want to be able to constrain this presented list to filter out some of the instances for my specific property that is of a control type. Does anyone know what internal class is used to implement this functionality I realise I need to create a UITypeEditor of type DropDown and then give a list of controls the user can choose from. But if I could us ...Show All

• SQL Server Data regions

  Greetings, Can someone explain the rationale as to why nested data regions are restricted to use the same dataset Craig We didn't have time so far to implement hierarchical data source support in our processing engine - but it is under consideration for a future release. Anyway, there are a few options available today to achieve similar results: * join the datasets already in the query (e.g. by using linked server functionality) * use subreports for the "nested data region" - but this is usually not very efficient * use SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to join the datasets in the query (t ...Show All
