DB/Reporting :: Editing .rdlc XML With VB2005?
Feb 18, 2009
I am trying to edit a .rdlc report file before displaying it to the user. it will eventualy read from an MS Access database, but first im just trying to get it working. I have included the proper namespaces(i think!!), but when i try to change the innertext of a node, it gives me the folllowing error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I have google worn out trying to find the solution...i know its probably somthing realy simple in the code but, for the life of me, i cant fugure it out.Here is the xml and code ( i have compacted some of the XML to make it fit)
XML-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">
[code].....

Whats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.

just want to check whether i am doing this right,i am using visual studio 2008 and have inserted an expression in the backgroundcolor properties for one of the textbox in the table which is suppose to highlight the textbox accordingly. the expression is:-
=iif(fields!element1.value = "hello", "Red", "White")
but however, the expression did not seem to take any effect on the textbox and remain transparent.

We are planning on creating reports to be run on the same computer that the database application is running on. which of these is the best approach? (SQL Server Reporting Services or creating a rdlc ReportViewer report) Also I tried to locate detailed rdlc ReportViewer report tutorials both in books and online and found none. It's probably because I'm looking in the wrong places.

directly here is the issue:a "OpenFileDialog" on a windows form is made to choose a picture and then insert it into a rdlc report under VB.net 2008 so i need the exact command to access any picturebox in the rdlc report.
i used to do the job under VB6 as the following:Set ReportName.Sections("SectionName").Controls("Image2").Picture = LoadPicture(fileName)

How do I view an rdlc report by pressing a button in runtime?The report is called summaryReport but I can't seem to find the code to actually run it.I was trying to do something like summaryReport.Show(), but by typing summaryReport doesn't even show any related events or methods, like the control didn't even exist.

I know this sounds simple to the majority of the database gurus out there but I am finding it difficult to find anything related.I am using Visual Studio 2008 VB.net winforms application.I have a form which contains a datagridview. what I want to do by push of a button is set the field "OnHand" either to default or 0. The 'either or' is really for you guys. Which ever one works the best in terms of reducing code or functionality is obviouls prefered.Once the 'OnHand' Fields in every record has changed then I would like to save all the data back to the database'This is more than likely very simple I just cannot find anything that discusses this kind of thing.

"2nd Honor" if gen. ave is >=88 but all the subject grades must be >=88 also
"Third Honor" if gen. ave is >=85 but all the subject grades must be >=85 also

Is it possible to get the dataset name from an rdlc file? I have found several demonstations on how to get the datasource, but not the dataset nor the tabladapter.
Thought, but dont know if it is possible or not.
When you run your app. could you read the rdlc as an XML file?

There would be more than 8 table controls in the report(.rdlc) and each would hold records that has specific values on specific fields.The fields in my database table are;
1. Year
2. Semester
3. Subcode
4. Description
5. Units
What those tables in my report(.rdlc) contain would depend on their Year and Semester fields. That is, my first table (in my report) would display records whose Year value is "1st Year" and whose Semester value is "First Semester".

I have a form with a single Report Viewer control on it. I wish to use this single form to display ALL of my application's reports. I am looking for a method that will allow me to assign the rdlc file / table adapter and rebind the datasource at runtime. I've tried various methods but cannot get it working. It sounds simple enough but is now driving me crazy!!

I created a report (rdlc) based on a dataset coming from an Oracle database table. I inserted a ReportViewer into a form and associated the report with the ReportViewer. This made VB to automatically create a binding source and a table adapter. The problem is when i run the report the application hangs (with no error). Later i discovered that it is because the Oracle user password which is required for the table adapter to retrieve the data. I found this because i tried to preview the data in the table adapter and the password was required.

I have a report that I need to run multiple times and save as PDFs. I am currently generating the report as a PDF programatically but want to save the reports without the user having to choose the save option manually each time.
The code I use to render a single report as a PDF is:
Dim warnings As Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Warning() = Nothing
Dim streamids As String() = Nothing
Dim mimeType As String = Nothing
[Code]....
I was figuring I could run it in a loop and save the PDF each time.

I've been googling around to find a way to dynamically assign a DataSet to an rdlc report but i was unable to find a clear method to do it.Does anyone know if there is a way? I end up trying to use this method because i also found no way of adding parameters to the rdlc report. The VS documentation is vague on this issue..

I've been googling around to find a way of inserting a subreport by using the designer. So i created a new RDLC report and inserted a subreport on the existing RDLC report. Then i changed the Name property of the subreport to the name of the second RDLC, without the rdlc extension. At execution time it fails with the message:"The ReportName for the subreport Unicre_Report_Comm_SR is not valid. A ReportName can not be an empty string or just white space."

I have a custom business object which overloads the .ToString() function. It also implements IFormattable.ToString, so I can define my own custom formats.This approach seems to work everywhere in my app, except .rdlc reports. For example, I have a text field on a report with the following expression:
=Fields!MyField.Value.ToString("lr")
"lr" is a custom format I have created. When running the report I always get #Error as the output. I've placed breakpoints in my .ToString function and stepped through the code as the report is running, and I know the function is returning the correct value, but the report just doesn't seem to be capable of receiving and displaying it.

I am having trouble loading and displaying my .rdlc report file in my reportviewer. I've been all over the internet and nothing worked.I think it might be because i am using vb.net 2008.Also I am wondering if there is a click event in Microsoft Reports or in Crystal Reports where I can link certain data in my report to other files in my project, eg. form2.vb
