1. In Add SQL Server instance I would like to have an option where the app could search all my server instances with no need to type names.
2. While the tracker is searching in database I can see a message "lblSpinnyThing". This label message does not make sense to me and it seems to be the label control name. Maybe something like "Searching..." should be more suitable.
3. While switching from one layout to another I figured that sudently this feature doesn works any more. I tried different layout modes but the object position doesnt change. Then I closed the project without save and started a new one. By my surprise it continue not working. Mabe if I uninstal and install again.
4. I dont like this background with two squares. Because I have many tables and SPs, is very difficult to see the connection lines. I think that white background should be better.

    Dear carlao,

    Thanks for those, very useful reports.

    To your point 1, SQL Dependency Tracker does attempt to find all your SQL servers by the same diverse means as used in eg. SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare v5. If you use those products, could you let me know if you can see servers in those but not in SQL Dependency Tracker?

    Regarding the odd label text, this has now been fixed thanks to your bringing it up. We now display a caption of "Searching..." whilst the preparation stage is in place. Normally this stage executes so quickly that the label's internal name wouldn't have been displayed, but obviously under some conditions it could end up that way. Thanks for the report.

    Regarding the background, I've taken a note and if we have time we'll add an option to hide the grid background.

    The layout issue is rather interesting. When you create a new project, do the objects initially get laid out in a sensible fashion, or do they just end up eg. in the top left corner? Could you also check that the Visual J# runtime is still installed (under Add/Remove Programs); if this is removed post install the layout will not function.

    All the best,

    Dan
