New options required in RS

Hi. Hope this reaches the RS development team.
I would like to know if in the new releases of RS there will be
expressions as there are in the DTS visual studio.
For example in the fields of width, height..at the moment we have to
put a fixed width and height whereas we could use the expressions.
Sometimes customers request double spacing instead of single space btw
records.
In addition to that, i need extra options in the matrix such as:
the ability to add fields to the right of the matrix column, (static
fields) that are not related to the matrix's expansion. The result
would be the possibility of having static columns at the left and right
of the matrix...what an improvement it would be.
Also, right now we are unable to add headers to the fields preceeding
the matrix column. This would be a of great help in explaining the
content of these fields. Right now i'm creating labels and placing them
on top of the matrix but it's not legitimate in a way when i export to
excel they are misplaced.
Thanks
Christinato add to this Allow the Duplicate Data in the Group Field so it can be
exported to excel and sorted :)

New features of Broker?

Dear all,

I just got Katmai installed with BOL. But can't find anything useful for SB, i.e. What's New. I understand the doc team must be working on it now. Could anyone tell me:

1. Is Katmai SB still the ver. 1 of SB, or ver. 2?

2. Does Management Studio do more UI support for SB?

3. Will Katmai SB support the B2C scenario, i.e. Laptop behind NATs?

Best regards,

dong

1. Is Katmai SB still the ver. 1 of SB, or ver. 2?

I am not sure exactly what you mean by this question but Katmai is the second version of Sql Server that contains Service Broker. Sql 2005 was the first version that contained support for Service Broker.

2. Does Management Studio do more UI support for SB?

We do have plans to do more for Service Broker in the Management Studio UI in Katmai but that won't be coming until a later CTP.

3. Will Katmai SB support the B2C scenario, i.e. Laptop behind NATs?

Katmai will not have any new features to support Broker behind firewalls. I will send another post on the Service Broker Katmai features

Hi Rick!

Nice to meet you here :-)

Here are some features, which might be very useful for the next release of Service Broker:
