Cleared MB2-876 Extending Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 exam.


Hi,

Today i got a chance to take the extension exam and was able to clear it. There were 48 questions with passing marks of 700 and 145 minutes to answer them.

The question were mostly straightforward, very few questions were there which were scenario based. It was fairly easy exam when compared to other CRM 2011 exam.

“The CRL type does not exist or you do not have permissions to access it” error while refreshing dataset in Query Designer (SSRS 2008)


I was getting the below error while trying to refresh the dataset in the query designer.

The workaround was to refresh the dataset from Report Data panel

Right click the dataset and select Dataset properties

Click on Refresh Fields button and Ok to close the dialog box.

Hope this helps.

Hiding and shrinking the width of the Column in SSRS 2008


Hi,

 We recently had a requirement wherein we were hiding few columns of our SSRS report dynamically based on value of a parameter.

The problem was that the hidden column although not visible was still consuming the space.

To solve this issue

  • Select Advanced Mode in the report Column Groups


  • Select the static column referring to the column we want to hide and set its Hidden property
