• SQL Server Drill Down Report : Visibilty Hidden Items getting confused

  I have put together a series of reports using the 2005 report server technology and utilized the drill through options available by hiding items and having the parenet group as a toggle item. My problem is that after the user has viewed and clicked ona few of the drill down options the report seems to get confused and starts displaying all different levels. The only solution for the user is to refresh the report. Of course I though that my design was to blame but this does seem to happen with very simple report too. Is this proble unique to by set up Does any body else have confused visibilty problems Is this because the web server or ...Show All

• SQL Server Calendar slow to load

  Is anyone else experiencing performance problems with reports that use the calendar control for date parameters   Whenever we load a report that uses a calendar it takes several seconds to fully load the form (you can see something like this in the status bar:"...ReportViewerWebControl.axd OpType=Calendar...").  This is not a serious problem, but if the user tries to use the control before it fully loads then the page throws javascript errors.  I am wondering if this is a  issue with the report itself or the server configuration, or if it is just something we have to live with.

• .NET Development form is lost

  Hi. I am trying to do simple graphics here using 2 forms: 1 main form which executes form 2 (graphics) in a seperate thread. form 2 on load basically has a for loop and in it will increase the opaticy of the form by 0.01 to give a fade in effect however once this is shown, the form is then lost! if i do not put this in a seperate thread created in the application it's fine, the form is there. but since this type of graphic "freezes" the previous form, i prefer to use threading to avoid not freezing the main form. any ideas I am guessing its because once the operation is complete in the thread method, that's it quit the thread. but there must ...Show All
