Intellisense in Views corrupts SQL Syntax

When selecting "Design mode" from "Views", the syntax I enter is
automatically changed on-the-fly and corrupts the syntax.
For example from pubs:
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *
FROM dbo.authors a INNER JOIN
dbo.publishers p ON a.city = p.city
ORDER BY a.au_lname DESC
Problems:
1. I can't remove "TOP 100 PERCENT" which is valid SQL.
2. "a INNER JOIN" should be "AS a INNER JOIN"
So, how can I code valid SQL without the code being changed?

and the phrase "a INNER JOIN" should be:
"AS a INNER JOIN"which would be valid
EM has a lot of strange things in the query builder. I recommend developing your views in Query
Analyzer. As for TOP, you can't have ORDER BY without TOP in a view. A view is supposed to behave as
a table and a table is not ordered. A view allow ORDER BY if you have TOP as this will influence
which rows are returned, the ordering is possibly still not guaranteed. You might want to look at

|||The problem arises when I use Visual Studio 2003's Server Explorer tool to
explore a selected "View" from the sqlserver's treeview. I was not using EM
or QA to edit the view.
Tibor: Thnaks sooo much for the reply - saw your web site -- Great!

Intellisense for custom assemblies?

SSRS 2005
I am using a custom assembly with my reports.
When I reference my custom assembly using the =Code.<assembly reference>
syntax in the expressions in my report, Intellisense only shows the methods
(that I guess are) associated with the standard System.Object:
Equals
GetHashCode
GetType
ReferenceEquals
ToString
I do not see any of the Public methods defined in my custom assembly.
Is there a way to have that information provided within the Report Designer
when I use the "Edit Expression" dialog box, or is this a limitation in
Report Designer?

Chris, SSSIHello Chris,
This issue is a limitation in the Report Desinger. Since when you have put
some custom code in the report, the IDE could not compile and get the
method name immediately. You need to copy the method name to the expression
where you want to use the code.
If you have any concern about this issue, you could send your feedback
directly to the product team:

Thank you for your understanding!

Wei Lu

Thank you for your help. That is what I figured...that it is a limitation in
the product. Too bad, since having Intellisense support would be a nice
feature and would be consistent with the rest of the Visual Studio designers.

>>I would like to suggest you send your feedback to the product team.
Is there a particular reason that you are not able to do this? I would think
Microsoft would want to proactively collect feedback on its products and not
have to rely on customers finding the time to report enhancement requests or
bugs on their own.
