This was exactly the issue. I'm not sure why I didn't think to check for it, so your suggestion was very timely. I added an exception for `*.codeproject.com` and all was well. Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

Sounds like there's a block in there somewhere

Yes, you're correct. Our WatchGuard firewall appliance was incorrectly blocking the site. Thanks to @jeron1 for assisting with that. Download attempts for the article's source code are still timing out, though. It starts off like a bull, traffic slows down to fits and starts for a bit, and then everything goes quiet. Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

p.s. Not sure what you mean by downstream in this context.

Sure, I understand. But if your network admins were intentionally blocking an IP range—for whatever reason—wouldn't you be able to find that out? My network: I use ABP, but I turned it off for CP. Same result (the download starts fine but then incoming packets halt at about 10% complete). I don't use an ad blocker at the other network. This is really odd, because page loads are just fine. I can download files from other articles lickety-split. It's just this one file from this one article. Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

This is from my ISP's network that can reach your server but can't download the file. I called them to discuss their other network that can't reach your server at all, and the tech asked me to bypass the WatchGuard router there, temporarily plug a laptop directly into their switch and manually assign an IP from the range they've allocated. If after that I still can't connect, he suggested the possibility that you may be blocking a range of IPs that includes their range. Do you

Perfect, thanks! I like your bit of hedgehog wisdom. I'm going to impart it on my neighbor :) @matthew-dennis

That one has all the makings of a great story, and it's an enjoyable read, but alas the problem persists. An important clue is found in the fact that other CP downloads go off without a hitch. It's only this one that's giving a problem. I was able yesterday to get the file via a different ISP's network and then transfer it from my friend's computer to mine. But even then the download was slow and erratic. Also: I can't connect to the CP web server at all via another network that's owned by my ISP. The main landing page doesn't even load, and the connection attempt times out. So there's something strange going on here. I don't know how to reach someone at CP to discuss this, if it's possible.

OK, thank you. Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

Does anyone else have trouble downloading the source from this tip: [WPF with PRISM - View and ViewModel First Implementation with Unity IoC](https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/5294830/WPF-with-PRISM-View-and-ViewModel-First-Implementa) Packets come in fits and starts for me, stopping entirely just under halfway through. Oddly, downloads from other tips/articles download just fine. It's only this one that's giving me trouble. Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

My, that was quick! I wish I could do that ;-) Thanks, Jeff Bowman Fairbanks, Alaska

The code formatter appears to be broken: [Link](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1223627/Simple-Class-for-Code-Profiling?msg=5474992#xx5474992xx)

I couldn't get that one to work like the list grouping. It must be the grouping that does the trick. In this case I used the table's primary key. I'll have to fiddle with this one later on when I've got some more time. (Time? You mean someday I may actually have TIME?)

:cool:

Hi Rahithi Add this property to your child form:

Private Readonly Property OwnerForm As ParentForm
Get
Return Me.OwnerForm
End Get
End Property

Now you can access any property you expose on your parent form from your child form's Close event. HTH

OK, got it! A grouped list with a page break afterward does the trick: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251742(VS.80).aspx If all else fails, read the instructions ;-)

The 'customer' example I gave is a pretty simplified example. In reality, the report layout is pretty complex--a lot of data fields mixed in with plain text snippets, lines and so on. There wouldn't be room for the stretch you describe, I don't think. There's no way to do it in the report configuration?

> I took the "U" word out of the subject line since it can upset people around here Oops, I didn't realize that! OK, I fixed it, thanks. > Why are you not using Table or Matrix controls? Er, maybe I'm missing something? If I use a Table/Matrix control, the data will display in tabular format on a single page of the report. Maybe I didn't describe it too well. I'll try again. I have 5 customers in a table. Each customer has a name, company and an account balance. I need a 5-page report with each page exactly the same except for the name, company and balance fields. Like a mail merge. In fact, EXACTLY like a mail merge. Thanks :-)

I'm having a fit over here--most likely because I'm new to ReportViewer. I'm sure this must be pretty simple, but I've been banging my head against it for a couple hours and I'm hoping you can help. Available futzing time is EXTREMELY short on this one. I have a single-record-display report, with no Table/Matrix controls--just TextBoxes, lines, etc. I need to send multiple records to the report and be able to navigate through them using the report's ToolBar buttons--First, previous, next, last. Each button click should move to a different record and update that record's information in the TextBoxes. When the report is printed, a single page for each record should be produced. Currently the ToolBar shows only one record, even though the report's underlying DataTable contains many. Surely this must be possible? Thanks! -- modified at 0:55 Sunday 29th July, 2007
