Topaz Workbench used to have the XML beautifier under Format -> Beautify. The Format drop down has been removed from the taskbar in a recent update and there is no mention of the XML beautifier when I search in the Help tool. Does anyone know where it was moved to?

This may be a newbie question, and I have done quite a lot of searching for an answer but have had no luck.
I am using SSRS on SQL Server 2008 R2 (Standard edition) to generate XML reports. I have developed my report in Report builder 3 and uploaded the report to the Report server.
So far so good
Now I want to have a subscription that generates the reports in XML format and deposits it into a folder
No problem with this straight forward enough
How do I install an XML transform or specify the actual XML schema for the rendered document as I don't want to manually handle the generated report.
In the Report Builder software there appears to be a report property where I can specify as path which would have to be to a file on my local desktop but nothing on how to supply a similar file to the reporting server to use.
How do I do this?
And I thank all of you kindly stackoverflow souls in advance for your collective wisdom.
The answer to this is Read the Manual !
However finding information through the myriad of MS pages is an excercise in Google-foo
and old fashioned primary school collage.
You upload XSL through the Report Manager UI using IE and make sure that you have a server side path specified in the DataTransform field in Report Properties in ReportBuilder 3 for your RDL file
The essential confusion that I suffered from was that I thought the XSL transform would be incorporated into the RDL file for publication to the report server. It isn't
SO
For the DataTransform property:
1 A local absolute file path with a drive letter will not work
2 Use a path that makes sense on the report server
3 Either a relative path to the XSL file from the location of the RDL file
OR an absolute path from the Report Server should be used

Back to 12, if I remember correctly, when editing a SQL file in SQL editor, IntelliJ IDEA will ask me what dialect am I using, and inspect its syntax.
However, with the new database tool in 13, by default the SQL editor validate nothing, I can only auto complete keywords.
The Database and SQL support plugins are enabled.
Do I need to setup anything else in order to get it works in SQL editor ? or some other options I should make sure it is enabled ?
First, make sure you have the necessary SQL dialect(s) configured in File > Settings > [Project Settings] > SQL Dialects.
Second, to get any code completion other than keywords (such as table and column names), IDEA needs to know about your database so it can index it. Thus you need to configure either a DataSource or DDL Source in the Database tool window. Take a look at my answer to a similar question about SQLite: How do I open a sqlite db file in my local disk in intellij 13 preview That has detailed steps (with screenshots) on how to configure a database via a DataSource. Using a DDL script is similar and should be self explanatory (just select the DDL file).
How can I find out where a Sharepoint Report is getting its data from?
Is it possible/easy?
I have a live report similar to one I am about to produce (it will use the same data source) but I do not know where this is coming from!
Thanks in advance!
The easiest is to just copy and rename the file, upload it and edit it in Report Builder on SharePoint. This way you will maintain the exact data source without needing to edit XML.
If you want to download it, go here Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0
However, if you favour a text editor you can open the .rdl file to edit it.
Look in the XML for something like:
<DataSources>
..data source details here.
Where the data comes from
</DataSources>
<DataSets>
.. actual returned date definitions here, like columns.
What the data is
</DataSets>
I have a .sdb database file which I need to open. It's the database behind Song Pro (http://creationsoftware.com/).
Google seems to think that openoffice may be able to open this, as it might come from star office. But I can't persuade the file to open in Base 3.2 and there are no reliable instructions as most google results are of the extension definition type.
Initially I could do with doing this in a database browser to see how the database is laid out. But assuming it is holding the correct data I will then want to do this programmatically.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

This page says that the SongPro .sdb file is an MSAccess database and you can just rename it to .mdb and open it with MS Access. There's also a script linked that someone has written to convert the contents of the database.
When in VS 2008 if a developer hits the ''' it generates the XML comment tags for you, but this only works when the project setting for "Generate XML documentation file" is checked.
Is there a way to tell VS to generate the XML Comment tags, regardless of the project setting?
I think it is possible that someone may want comments but not create a XML documentation file.
In this case I am exceeding the current Team Settings, yet other developers don't want me to change this project setting. This forces me to flip this back before checking in the project.
I have the same problem with other Project settings like "code Analysis".
This is only a problem for VB.NET projects.
I know this is an old post however I have found a work around that may work for you depending if you team members just want the XML comments functionality and not the XML files.
1) In your project properties ensure that Generate XML documention file is checked.
2) Click the Build Events button
3) Into the Post-build event command line box enter the command
Del "$(OutDir)$(ProjectName).xml"
Now after each build it will remove the XML comment file.
Note: For some reason if it exists from a previous build it will not delete it so manually delete it the first time.
As far as I know, it will always create the xml comments....the Generate XML documentation I think only affects whether those comments are then compiled into an xml file.
Is it behaving like this on everyone's machine?

but obviously you already know that since you opened up the Connect issue.
No for VB.NET and VS2008.
