SSRS 2008 Report Parameters Ordering
Posted on January 14, 2009 | 4 CommentsYes, okay, call me a dolt for having to take five minutes to find this but I've seen this question asked so many places I figured I'd throw it up here.
In Visual Studio 2008 when working on a SQL Server Reporting Services report, you may find that you want to change the order in which the parameters are listed to the end user.

Upgrading to SQL Server 2008 Notes
Posted on November 18, 2008 | No CommentsAs we move down this SQL Server 2008 upgrade road I am trying to learn from previous projects of other versions and not take anything for granted.
