    I sent you an email with all the relevant information that I have on this software, but lately a coworker and I have started to really discover some memory leak issues when using the report designer in visual studio.  Our machine will run out of memory and visual studio will eventually crash.

    Just wanted to comment on a few things that would be nice.  And let me preface my suggestions/comments by saying that it's *very* possible that there are ways to do some of the things that I mention and that I just haven't figured out how yet.  :)

     

    1. I've got reports where multiple parameters are being used.  In order for me to get them to show up in a specific order in the report viewer, I have to preface the Name of the parameter with specific characters.  For example, I have a parameter that is the end date for a query.  In order to have it show up last in the list of parameters that the user can fill in, I have to name it "yEndDate".  So I've got "xStartDate" and "yEndDate" in order to keep the Start Date show up above the End Date in the report viewer.

    2. It would be nice to have a DatePicker control in the report viewer for a DateTime parameter as opposed to straight text.

    3. I love that the reports are in XAML... but it would be nice to be able to right-click on the igr file and select "View Code" (much like other items in VS2010).  Otherwise, how do I get to the XAML?

    4. It would be nice to be able to insert a PageBreak after certain controls in a report (<PageBreak/> element in XAML).

    5. It would be nice to be able to hide/enable/disable parameters in the report viewer based upon the value of another parameter.  For example, I have 3 parameters in a specific report.  First is a boolean "View Surveys with any Date".  Then the next two are "Start Date" and "End Date".  If the user selects "View Surveys with any Date", then I'd like to be able to disable/hide "Start Date" and "End Date".

    I think that's it for now.  If anyone has ways to do these things, I'd love to know about it!  :)
