New reverse engineering capabilities with EF

By now we should all know that the ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF) provides mechanisms for reverse engineering a database schema into a conceptual database model. However, limitations prevent complex hidden data hierarchies from being accurately represented in the model generated by the EF. EdmGen2 introduces new capabilites (data mining techniques) to determine these relationships so that the conceptual model can accurately reflect them without a developer needing to explicitly define them.

Odd SSRS design decisions

So I have to ask myself why it is so darn hard to provide the ability to set more than one font to a given text box.

Take an example textbox: [Name: John Smith]

Now lets say you are asked to bold just the 'Name:' portion of the text. Well with Crystal Reports the process is similar to editing a word document and extremely intuitive.

With SQL Server Reporting Services, not so much. You end up having to create another textbox and another column to store the text. Why?????
