No execute permission on ” CodeUnit with ID 1.

2012-07-11T14:24:09Z

A very strange message appeared when a user tried to connect to the test environment with the RoleTailored Client: (the server name is grayed-out for privacy reasons) What happened?

2012-06-02T19:08:44Z

Recently I was contacted by a fellow blogger, who had been scratching his head because of disappearing labels. The report in question was, for some unknown reason, not displaying all captions.

PlaceInBottom in RDLC layout

2012-05-18T14:10:50Z
