Well, tomorrow (Sunday) will be my 73rd birthday. Good Lord! How quickly did that creep up on me! I think back on the number of celebrities that passed at an earlier age. Should that scare me? Why am I not afraid? Somehow my body aged faster than my ability to think.
Despite arthritis and all sorts of aches and pains, I still remain active coding as a hobby. Currently I am making good progress mastering the Prism MVVM Framework (Version 6.3.0). I am even planning writing a beginner's article on getting started with Prism. The existing articles on this topic do not impress me at all.
Should I rather be planning for the arrival of the Grim Reaper? No! Screw him! I have no intention of falling victim to that SOB yet! I have so much more to achieve, before I will be ready for the final curtain.

So you are more or less Version 7.3 you old sack 
All I read about/from you sounds more like Version 3.1. Keep going on like this, your physical Age is maybe 73, your personal Age is at least -20 from it.
All the best for you, looking Forward for your update to 10.1

My 72nd is in a couple of months, so I have a little understanding of how you feel. I am not learning that much new stuff these days, more just keeping (or trying to) my hand in. As to the future, it's still there waiting for you.
Oh, and have a happy one.

have a great day, and, growing old beats the alternative

Congratulations, Cornelius !
This physical body typing at you now reached the same age seven moons ago, and, while a bit worse for wear, continues to function. Perhaps we share a trait of finding delight, and energy, in always learning new things ?Empedocles Listen now to a further point: no mortal thing Has a beginning, nor does it end in death and obliteration. There is only a mixing, and then a separating of what was mixed.
But, by mortal men, these processes are named: 'beginnings'
cheers, Bill

Belated Birthday to my young friend. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
73 is just number, its long way to go, would wish for your healthy life and yes expecting that MVVM article soon. 
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Happy Birthday (delayed, but better late than never )

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Don't ya just hate it when you've spent a day and a half googling for obscure error messages, trying this, adjusting that,...lather, rinse, repeat. Before you know it, you've got all this commented out stuff that didn't work and basically back to where you started. 
Then, in a moment of clarity, you finally realize that the dataset name for the ssrs subreport is 'EmployeeDatails' and not 'EmployeeDetails'! I'll have to personally thank my colleague next week for this valuable lesson! This is clearly a time when I should have copy/pasted!
To be honest, it's my first crack at a subreport in asp.net, so there were a few new things to figure out...I just failed to focus on the simplest of things and went into trial and error mode too quickly! Happy weekend loungers!

Consider yourself very lucky: You can blame a colleague! I make similar mistakes and then I only have myself to blame. Woe is me! 
Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks Cornelius, but I would never blame anyone else for my bad eyesight! I'm thankful for the lesson learned.
By the way, have a great birthday tomorrow! Cheers! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

ummm, you didn't test the sql to see what the result set looked like (or as in this case if there was a result set rendered)?
SOP: check the obvious before googling.
Sin tack
the any key okay
|
|
|
|
|
ummm, of course I checked the sql, but that had nothing to do with dataset of the subreport being named incorrectly. The error messages given in the viewer/debugging were vague. Just sayin'.

Oh, well I had to debug one of my own issues this week.
It turned out to be an inconsistency in capitalization of some table column names -- most things are case-insensitive... but not SSIS, nope. 
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, I'll file that away in case I ever need to use SSIS.

Quite cool, if I do say so myself.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
