Can't close IDE, modal dialog, anyone know what's causing this?
when working with Dundas chart properties. I don't have a modal dialog
open, or at least not that I can find. I use alt-esc to loop through the
dialogs on the OS, nothing. Microsoft has an entry in support, it says it
usually happens when I try to shut down and have left a modal dialog
open...only there is no dialog to close. I end up ending the IDE process
tree. Anyone else getting this and/or know the cause?
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active.
Close the active dialog and try again.
Yes it's Friday the 13th :)

Not a very elegant solution, but it will close. ;)

Cannot shut down VS after using report designer
Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.
Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.
I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Myself and a number of colleagues are having the same error
come up.
We are only able to shutdown the visual studio by going to task manager. Still
trying to find the cause, but if anyone else knows anything more?
|||Still using task manager here. Can't find anyone that has an answer... I'll keep looking... the truth must be out there.
BobP
|||Same bug here, but when a Infragistics control (Windocker) breaks at design time.
Grrrrr...
There is an open bug track on this at:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=c6519d93-581a-4eea-85f5-143e9d790d4e
|||The problem normally occurs with me when I had used the query designer an has run an query.When continuing the work at some time sql server ask the question whether to keep the result set or not.
When VS is not the active window this message is stuck behind the VS screen and you can not stop it.
It is quite anoying and my only solution at this time is to save frequently.

I too ran into this today. After having a look at the bug in the product feedback centre, I noticed the bug is resolved as not reproduced.
Is it me, or does it seem unproductive to resolve a bug as not reproduced when there's 9 Can Validate and 13 voters with the average rating 4.69? Clearly this should continue to be investigated.
Maybe look at the code that checks for modal dialogs and see what dialogs could cause this message and work backward from there?
|||BTW, my situation was dragging code from one source file to another. E.g. while in one file, clicking selected text and dragging it to a tab to activate another file and dropped on that file. That file was just added to the project (C#) as a New Item (class).
Of course, I can't reproduce it...
If it matters, I recently came out of Stand By... and I'm not using BIDS or SQL Server with this project.
|||FYI...
I encountered this problem today for the first time. I was creating a new report in a project by selecting an existing report, right-clicking on it and selected COPY. I then did a CTRL-V to paste it into my project. The new report name was "Copy of...". I renamed the report and then I encountered the problem. I was able to close the IDE via the task manager.
I am unable to reproduce the problem.

What are you doing when it happens? Is there a particular report you're working on? Or does it happen after switching tabs, etc?
These kinds of things are pretty difficult to reproduce without detailed knowledge of what you're actually doing. If there's a bug here, it probably is in an obscure code path that just doesn't get all that much traction when we run through it on our computers. Usually, the exact order of operations makes is the clincher in getting a repro in house.
So, any detail you can provide will help us look at this.
Thanks!

Cannot shut down VS after using report designer
Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.
Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.
I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Myself and a number of colleagues are having the same error come up.
We are only able to shutdown the visual studio by going to task manager. Still trying to find the cause, but if anyone else knows anything more?
Still using task manager here. Can't find anyone that has an answer... I'll keep looking... the truth must be out there.

It is quite anoying and my only solution at this time is to save frequently.

I too ran into this today. After having a look at the bug in the product feedback centre, I noticed the bug is resolved as not reproduced.
Is it me, or does it seem unproductive to resolve a bug as not reproduced when there's 9 Can Validate and 13 voters with the average rating 4.69? Clearly this should continue to be investigated.
Maybe look at the code that checks for modal dialogs and see what dialogs could cause this message and work backward from there?
|||BTW, my situation was dragging code from one source file to another. E.g. while in one file, clicking selected text and dragging it to a tab to activate another file and dropped on that file. That file was just added to the project (C#) as a New Item (class).
Of course, I can't reproduce it...
If it matters, I recently came out of Stand By... and I'm not using BIDS or SQL Server with this project.
|||FYI...
I encountered this problem today for the first time. I was creating a new report in a project by selecting an existing report, right-clicking on it and selected COPY. I then did a CTRL-V to paste it into my project. The new report name was "Copy of...". I renamed the report and then I encountered the problem. I was able to close the IDE via the task manager.
I am unable to reproduce the problem.

cannot see the 2nd table(2 tables returned from stored procedure) in dataset in report designer
Hi,
I am using stored procedure(SP) to create the dataset in report designer. My SP is returning 2 tables/recordset and i am only able to see first table/recordset in the dataset in report designer. I have to place fields from second table onto my report. Is there anyway i could get the 2nd table in my dataset so that i could place the fields in my report.
Please help
This is by design. We'll only look at the first resultset.
You create a second sproc to return the second resultset and build a second dataset to consume it.
|||
Hi
I am also facing the same problem. Could you help how to write a stored procedure to retrieve the second table from stored procedure. So that I will create second dataset as you said.
Thanks & Regards
Kumar
