I'm trying to create my first report and I created a dataset and am trying to drag table from the toolbox. But it is grayed out. How to enable it? Any reason why it is happening like that?
You haven't actually created a new report. What you've done is create a project which can and often does contain many different reports. These projects can also contain many data sets and data sources. You can right-click the reports folder and create a new report which will enable those controls.

I am trying to create ssisdb on sql 2017 instance, i have configured clr , but for some reason the option to create SSISDB is not showing. Please see attachment and help.enter image description here
Ive had similar issues with several kinds of MS products like SSIS or SSMS, the OK or other buttons not showing, also users couldnt see values or filters in Power BI etc.
In these cases it was a display issue. Try display it on a larger monitor, try changing screen resolution, or move the box further up or try and resize the box in which the buttons should be in.
I also had cases where I couldnt see any buttons but they were displaying when a colleague set it up on his computer, so maybe you could ask a colleague if he/she can see the buttons.
I'm developing a cube using the multidimensional model on the Sql Server 2014 Dev edition. Having quite a few measures in a single group I'm trying to organise them into display folders that doesn't work though for some reason. The defined display folders do not show up in any client - Visual Studio, SSMS, Excel, Power BI - you name it. Using VS I can see the defined folders in the properties window, on the translation tab, everywhere except the browser tab. And yes, the visibility attribute for the measures is set to True.
Please let me know if anybody came cross this and fixed.
As it turned out display folders will not appear unless you provide captions for the all added translations.
I am trying to capture the elements on a C++ form in a Windows Desktop Application. The elements are mainly tables and contents of Dialog boxes. I am able to capture the individual cells in the table but not the entire table. I am unable to get the contents of the dialog box either. I am using SilkTest classic agent for this. Can anybody guide me with this?
I'm using winforms. I spend a lot of time drawing forms (maybe not a lot, but it is a boring task).
To sum up... I want to develop a simple aplication that connect to a sql server database, let the user to select a table, and put the controls in a form for me (generate the designer code), based on the tipe of each column. Then my app will name each control like the column of the table, set the maxlengh property (if the type is varchar), and create a label with the same text near the control. If the column is a FK, then the app will draw a combobox and so on. I saw that Telerik Open ORM make something like this, but I only need a simple app for the IU Generation.
If the same day I finish my little application I discover a tool that make the same... I will feel myself stupid :D
Are there any tool out there that do this work for me?
You can just drag DB columns from the Server Panel and drop them on the Form. This will generate TextField, CheckBoxes and other UI elements for you.
You can also drag the entire table and drop it on the form. Same thing will happen: all fields will get generated.
This is using plan Visual Studio 2008 IDE.
Take a look at DevExpress - they have a number of ways to do exactly this. (We're a happy user of their product.)
Take a look at Microsoft lightswitch. I had posted a similar question as yours and stumbled upon it by accident. Devexpress also has an orm like Teleriks http://www.devexpress.com/Products/Index/Frameworks.xml. I am using Lightswitch for form gen. good luck
I'm using ReportViewer WinForms, and since it is no easy way to create an coversheet, then I wonder, is it possible to render two reports and have them concatenated?, so they appear as one report?
If I was to print only, then I could execute two reports after each other, but since the user want to see the report before printing (you know, no environment waste here) then they have to appear in the same viewer.
OR, is there other ways of creating coversheets?
Today I use an subreport, but there are some issues with margins etc. which is not easy to fix.
To clarify, we are talking about
ReportViewer using RDLC files, no
Crystal Reports involved.
Do you need to display the 2 reports as 1 in the reportViewer control or would having them both exported to PDF and showing a single PDF containing both reports be satisfactory?
I was looking for that but using the Web ReportViewer and found examples exporting the reports to several PDFs, then concatenating the PDFs into 1 using PDFtk (free)

I've created a report that sounds like what you are attempting to do...first to clarify, I'm going to guess your using Crystal Reports within VS2005/2008.
If that's the case, all you need to do in the main report is create an additional section after your section that contains the "Cover Sheet" layout/data. In the section expert for the "Cover Sheet" section (in layout view, right click on section header bar, pick section expert in pop up menu..), check off the "New Page After" option.
Edit: After your update, I see you are using RDLC reports, and from my limited exposure to those, I can't recall an easy way to get to where you want to be. Though I'm pretty sure you may be able to pass multiple reports to the same report viewer in code.
