SSIS Designer does not remember visible area - ssis

I am using SSIS in Visual Studio 2008 with SP1.
When I load the designer of an existing package, it always shows an empty area. I have to scroll down and right to see my components or use the area scroller to get them visible.
It looks like a bug. Does anyone knows a workaround to save the x,y positions of the visible area in a package ?

I get around this problem by doing the following:
Set zoom to 100% (View -> Zoom -> 100%) Note: you may have to click in the designer pane to get Zoom to show on the view menu.
Scroll the window to where you want it be when you open up the package.
Select and move a task.
Save file
For step 3, I usually select the top task and press Ctrl-[left arrow], Ctrl-[right arrow]. I like tasks to stay where I put them! :)
Hope that helps.

Select all the components -choose format - Auto Layout - Diagram
Then save your package

None of that worked for me in 2012. My controls were in the very bottom left corner so I cut them....moved the zoom to middle range and then pasted the controls and that worked.

How can I redesign octave

I downloaded octave and accidentally pressed some buttons which changed the design of the software to be more specific it doesn't look like how my professor at university was working with it . Could you please help me to fix it in order to look like how it did in the beginning?
I upload a picture of how it looks like now
OK, it appears you are only looking at the Editor window, which is normally docked with other windows like the command window, documentation, etc. It also appears to be maximized, hiding everything else.
In the upper right you see two icons, one that looms like an x, and one that looks like two overlapping squares (two windows). If you click the x, that should close the editor and you should be able to see the rest of your desktop including the rest of the octave GUI. If you cannot see octave anywhere, of you are in Windows try using ALT-Tab or clicking on Octave in the task bar to make the window visible.
In the main octave window there should be a "Reset Default Window Layout" menu item under the Window menu. That should restore everything to the default layout without having to go to the trouble of a full reinstall.
The following YouTube video doesn't exactly match your problem, but it does show how to change and restore the GUI layout:

How to maximize the window of creating new project in PhpStorm

I can't maximize the window of creating new project in PhpStorm .I can't even resize it manually with mouse (e.g. bottom right corner).
I can't see the composer.phar button .
Any idea how can I add more width to this window or how to maximize it ?
You can get the New Project window from two locations:
Welcome screen ("Create New Project" link)
Main menu ("File/ New Project" menu entry).
As you can see, it's the same window with the same features but dialogue controls and decorations are slightly different. The first one is not resizeable (just like its parent window) but the second one is (as its parent).
So you can only resize it if you create the new project when you already have a previous project open. IMHO, it feels as an overlook on the developers side.
You can't resize this window: that's by design. What resolution are you using? Do you have any display scaling enabled?

SSRS Report - Removing right side white space

I'm developing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012. The report is set up to use landscape orientation. There is a 0.25in margin on the left and no margin on the right. The report is 10.5 inches wide. ConsumeContainerWhitespace is set to True. There are no hidden objects outside of the normal report area.
When I look at the report in print view or actually print it out there is a huge amount of white space on the right side of the report. It's almost like the report is being shrunk and then left justified when printing.
I would love to get this fixed so the report prints the same as it looks in the designer. If anyone has an opinion or some input it would be most welcome. Thank you!
This problem appears when a Windows 10 user has their DPI set to a value that is higher than %100. If DPI is set to %100 then the issue does not occur and no white space is seen when doing a print view or actually printing the report.
This is a common issue with Windows 10 and certain applications including ClickOnce apps like the one I'm using to run the reports. There does not seem to be a way to fix this from within Visual Studio as you can't make an application DPI aware that uses the ClickOnce deployment model.
The following steps will fix a Report temporarily until it is updated and the .exe is overwritten. This fix will also work for other Windows 10 apps, including Chrome, that appear blurry from using a custom DPI over %100. Be aware though that while this fix will fix blurry fonts in a ClickOnce app and white space in an SSRS report it can also disturb control positioning and form size.
Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
Under the 2.0 directory you will see one or more folders that are named with a random set of letters and numbers. Within these directories you must find the folder for the desired application. The folders will usually start with the first 3 or four letters of the application but there can be more than one folder that exists for your application.
Locate the .exe for your application. There may be more than one .exe for your app so apply this fix fix to all of them just to be sure.
Rightclick on the .exe and select properties and click the Compatibility tab.
Check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox and click OK
Rerun your application and create a report that opens the report viewer.
Click the Print Layout button. The report should now be displayed with no white space on the right.
Print the report. There should be no extra white space on the right side of the report.
You can also work around the issue by temporarily setting your DPI back to %100 but I think that is a poor solution.
If it is a matrix report, you may also try setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace to true. It is Report level property that you can find under "Other".
or else if it is a tabular report then adjust the margin and width accordingly.
Here the link of the answer:

You have me stumped but things I would check:
There isn't a textbox or label or something pushing past the boundary of the expected margin. This causes the report to print like what you are seeing. Just expand the report and make sure everything is actually less than 10.25 inches.
Is your paper size set to letter?

Monodevelop: can't drag widgets

I am trying to use monodevelop. Just at the beginning I came across an issue:
I was following a tutorial on building a Gtk application (http://monodevelop.com/Stetic_GUI_Designer). I was trying to drag a button from the Widgets Palette. Nothing happened. I'd been trying quite a few times without any luck.
After a break I launched monodevelop again and I simply placed a button on the window of the application. After that I removed it, dragged VBox container, and placed menu bar on the window, according to the tutorial instructions. I was pleasantly surprised.
By the second try the same problem occurred - I was not able to drag any widgets. Dragging was beginning, there was a “+” sign at the cursor and then - nothing was happening. I cannot figure out what happened by the first time, what the difference was. Have anyone had a similar problem? Monodevelop looks promising, but I can't go on with it. (I tried placing 'Fixed' container on the window, with no result - I could not drag it.)
(monodevelop v. 2.4, ubuntu 11.04, Polish language.
I did look for an answer to my problem, without much luck, that is why I post this question. The problem is described quite precisely. There is a probability that others encountered the same issue.)
You need to drag a container on the form first before you can add widgets to it. The VBox container is an example of a place where you can put your widgets.
If you want to place widgets where ever you want you can use the Fixed container. If you want things to align you can use the VBox, HBox or Table containers. Placing in a widget in one of the fields will automatically adjust the size of this field to fit the widget you have dragged into it.
So basically,
Create a form
Drag a container on the form
Drag a widget inside the container.
These widgets are not to be confused with the custom made widgets (in your Solution browser, right click the folder User Interfaces and click Add Widget...). These are like forms. I use these to create GUI's in advance so I can call these while the program is running.
FYI: if you want to create code for a widget (like a button) you can't just double click it like in Visual Studio. You need to select it, the go to the properties pane, and change the tab from Properties to Signals. You can then double click the "signal" to create the event for which you want to create code. For a button this is usually the Clicked event (somewhere at the bottom of the list, you'll need to open the Button Signals)
You can always visit the IRC channel of Monodevelop on irc://irc.gimp.org/monodevelop (IRC.Gimp.org #monodevelop)
I also sit in this channel and can help with smaller problems and I also still use Monodevelop 2.4.

How to Make Flash Builder Package Explorer emulate Flex Builder's Navigator window?

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
The original "Navigator" view is still available. From the FB menu choose "Window" -> "Other views..." Open up the the "General" tree and select "Navigator" This might put the Navigator window as a tab in the bottom panel (that's where it showed up for me). You can then drag and drop the tab to place it right next to the Package Explorer. Then you can easily switch back and forth between both views.
