how to create a customized drilldown report - sql-server

I currently have this awesome drill down::
what i would like to do is this:::
another words, instead of having a separate field (per se), i would like the section of text all the way on the right to be embedded together with the stuff all the way on the left.
i would like it to also be expandable.
is this possible?
if not, what is a workout around, or at least a solution that is similar?
it might be helpful to show you the report in design mode:

I don't believe merging will work for you in the detail but this would be ideal. However as a workaround and forgive me as I haven't got report builder with me but if you follow a few steps:
Expand the row for clarity and drop a tablix into it.
Be sure to set the correct filters in the sub tablix.
Add a group that has the name as the main and the comments as the detail.
Have the name be the toggle for the detail.
And for visuals be sure to remove all borders and create the background the same colour.
Sorry if the detail is a little off, I can't test this out, but I hope I get you going.

Set Full width row color for a parent group separor

We want to change the color for the parent row to have a certain color.
This way we can better see in which parent we are working in.
I got "something" working with a hover that looks like this (removed important information):
This is what we want to achieve but then for only the parent rows.
Is there any possibility to do this or are there any work arounds to become this effect ?
Many thanks for the help in advance for any unclarity or questions please ask!
Kind regards,

Unfortunately, it's not possible, but I can suggest coloring the names of the grouping tasks and/or change their font size. Please check this sample: https://playground.anychart.com/xuqwNO3f
And learn more about the labelsOverrider() method here: https://api.anychart.com/anychart.core.ui.DataGrid.Column#labelsOverrider
We have found a solution.
We have checked the source code for what you guys are doing for making a row selectable (and coloring the whole row).
Then we are using the .labelsOverrider function to get all the items in that column.
We check which ones are our grouping and on the grouping item we call the meta function like follows meta('selected', true) and that makes sure we set this row as selected and giving us the appropiate result.
Looks like follows:

Nested ListView Items - TreeView&ListView combined

The best way to show what I need is showing an image:
What is the easiest way to implement this kind of "nested ListView" - each Item can be expanded and has subitems. I want the hierarchy only to show on the first column as shown when any other solution can be accepted.
There are couple of ways to do it. I consider that you are good in WPF and easily check code and take idea from it because it is not easy to give code of your requirement here.
You must need to user Expander for expand and collapse functionality for the detail sections as per you image.
I am sharing some the links from where you can easily get what you want. It is not exact code which you can copy but it will give you basic structure of what you want.

You will enjoy working on this one.

What control should I use for getting the following rows in ssrs?

I am to design a report which will be having given rows, I have tried with Tablex and Matrix, but I am facing issue with grouping.
Is there any other control or any custom control or any way of customizing Table
which I can use to design the following formatted rows in report.
Any link with demo, sample or POC would be great help.
Kind hard to tell what you're going for from your picture/description, but I'm guessing you may want to use a List object. You can put your group at the list object level, and then add text boxes, tables, images or whatever you need inside the list. You'll get a set of whatever is inside the list for each group, using the data from that group. Take a look at the sample/description here, which looks similar to what you're trying to do: here

Creating a Silverlight, drag & drag enabled query builder

what would be the best components to create a query builder? I imagine I'll need some sort of grid control. 30x30 cells perhaps. I would also love to have a snap-to-grid functionality as well. I'll be parsing the contents of the grid to create the queries so if I can iterate through the cells it would be a great help to. I'd be more than happy to post a sample project for anyone else to use if you all could help me with the base requirements. Thanks!
If you are already using the Telerik components for Silverlight, what about the RadExpressionEditor or RadDataFilter don't fit the requirements for what you're looking to do? Just curious as they are meant to handle this type of scenario.
ExpressionEditor allows for typing, which may not be the ideal if you're looking for a less error-prone scenario (aka, you don't trust users to write queries):
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#ExpressionEditor/FilteringGridView
Otherwise DataFilter lets users select options based on the items and their respective types found in your collection, so it is much harder for a difficult user to break ;D :
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#DataFilter/FirstLook
Is neither of those fit the bill, can you post more info in regards to your scenario/what you're looking to accomplish (and why you're looking at a 30x30 grid setup for the basis) and we might be able to brainstorm something good up. :)

Visual Studio 2010 listbox with detail

I've not been doing much WinForms programming for the last few years, so I'm a bit rusty. Right now I'm having trouble with something pretty simple. I have one table of data that includes two foreign keys to two other tables. What I want to do is simply display a list box that shows a name field from the table and several text boxes below, which display the rest of the data in the row corresponding to what is selected in the listbox.
I tried simply setting the datasource on the listbox and then binding the detail textboxes to columns in the same datasource (using bindingsource), and that seemed to work fine. However, when setting the comboboxes up for the two foreign key columns, they did not reliably change to display the correct value as the user selected different items in the listbox. Additionally, when I made any changes in the detail textboxes, the HasChanges method on the dataset still returned false.
What do I need to do to get this to work correctly? Is there a good example out there somewhere? Google just seems to return a ton of results showing how to populate a simple listbox.
I saw this had been up for a few days so I'll provide what help I can...
I'm a bit rusty in that area as well. However, the place I always go back to for a refresher is the Forms over Data Video Series by Beth Massi. They are short, sweet and to the point. My guess is that you'll find what you need within the first few videos.
Disclaimer: The videos were done using VS2005. The fundamentals are solid though. While one or two minor things may have changed, WinForms databinding is pretty much the same as it has been for a while.
HTH and good luck!
