So now what is the best way to take my main files (Window1.xaml, App.xaml, Properties folder, and about 10 other class files) and recreate a solution and project for these ma...
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to design a SQL Server Compact Edition database (*.sdf). I had to change the schema of one of my tables adding a new column.

I am attempting to design an RDLC report, however my toolbox is filled with about 10 "Textbox" controls and an odd, empty #13119 control group. I can find no other controls.
