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)
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..
View 4 RepliesHow 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.
View 2 RepliesThis for a semi-automated application. Basically the user provides a list of parameters (entered as an offline spreadsheet). The application automatically selects the required report and logon information. Each line in the given spreadsheet will be used as parameter values for a certain report.Therefore the requirements for this (vb.net) applicaton include:
- dynamically select a different Crystal reports
- each report may read data from different tables from an Oracle database.
An old application of mine that had done something similar and it works normally. Those Crystal reports retrieve data from a SQL server stored procedure. (The stored procedure reads data from Oracle using linked server concept). I do not have to set the logon information dynamically in the vb.net code because every report uses Trusted Windows logon concept. The application can also pass dynamic values to different Crystal report parameters without problems.Then I modify this old application for the required new set of Crystal reports. Because these reports access Oracle database via ODBC and not every report reads from the same Oracle schema, it appears I have to write codes to pass ODBC Dataset and its logon information (the users do not want enter it everytime). The application does not run after the change. The report printout shows blank. Although I can accomplish what is needed by modifying each report to use Stored procedure. But this is not prefered and not a simple task because of the number of reports.I have tested each report and it does run normally in interactive mode.I am not sure if I need to write codes to set the datasource for these 'new' Crystal reports. In my test codes I set the reportsource for my CrystalReportViewer object to an non-typed report. Is there anyone who can show me sample codes that
1) achieve odbc logon
2) select a report dynamically for preview/printing
3) pass values to parameter

View 1 RepliesI 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.

Do you know how to set maximum length of character in the textbox of rdlc report? I already dug all of its properties but I didn't see any.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a Windows Application,Having trouble crating a RDLC Local report.
There are just 2 text boxes in the report, One is Employee Name & another one is address.
Everything is alright but I couldn't figure out how to pass RDLC Report variable & show its value in the Report text boxes or in 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.

I am rendering an rdlc report to the client directly, tried adding the page number using the code below in the footer
=Globals.PageNumber & " of " & Globals.TotalPages
I am getting #Error when the report is rendered as pdf on the client. Need assitance to resolve the error.
i would be glad if someone would give me sugerencies of what could be a good way to represent a Checkbox List on my report. Actually im using RDLC+Microsoft ReportViewer. the solution im evaluating at this moment its to just thread them as images just capturing the checkbox list Hdc and then exportingto the report but the bad thing its that users wont be able to select stuff there and also the .PDFs im planing to create gonna be kinda heavy.
i would emulate the checkbox list with labels, but its that this project has soooo many checkboxes that its not really a good idea to make it in that way.
I have an error when converting a text string to date, I've tried all the date conversions I can think of and still get the same error (cdate, date.parse and Convert.ToDateTime) this happens after I export an RDLC report to a PDF. As you can see in the below code, there are 2 identical variables called newDate1 and newDate2, one being declared before the render and the other being declared after the render. The first one works no problem but the second one I get the error: Conversion from string "16/02/2011" to type 'date' is not valid. This now becomes a program wide error and affects every date conversion done in the program, this problem remains until the program is restarted.
In short: CDate converts MM/DD/YYYY no problem, but after a PDF export it tries to convert to DD/MM/YYYY which gives an error
Public Function ExportPDFReport(ByVal ReportPath As String) As String
Dim newDate1 As Date = CDate("16/02/2011")
Dim bytes As Byte() = uxReportViewerRDLC.LocalReport.Render("PDF")

Can't get the report viewer to do anything at runtime.After watching the tutorial on MSDN, it seemed simple.But I can't reproduce it. The data configuration is straightforward and no errors occur. Dropped back to putting something static on the designer like lines, backcolor and textboxes. They disappear too. The runtime control is active, just blank

I have an rdlc report that always produces the last page in blank. In this page, the header and the footer are printed but no data is shown (all data finishes in the previous page). I already checked and re-checked the horizontal and vertical printable areas and all the report definitions fit into these areas (if not, a blank page will be produced in between each page, I guess). If the report has one page, two pages are printed, if there are ten pages with data, eleven pages are printed
View 4 Repliesi created more projects using ReportViewer 2005 and 2008 in local processing mode than I can count on my hands. All Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 ASP.NET web forms projects. I always used some flavor of Object data source for the reports.Tonight, I attempted to add the same functionality to a Visual Studio 2010 MVC 2 project and am failing miserably. First, the Add New Item > Reporting > Report is now a 2008 RDLC and not a 2005 RDLC report. Secondly, when trying to add a DataSet, my usual method of create a data proxy class with static methods that return IEnumerables(Of Stuff) will not show up as sources in the DataSources drop down
Thirdly, my only option is to add a Database connection. There is no "Object Data Source" to pick from: Like I kind of alluded to, I have no problems whatsoever actually rendering a report using the ReportViewer control. What I can't do is figure out how set up a Data Source in these new-fangled 2008 reports with Visual Studio 2010 so that I can pump a list of domain objects into the ReportViewer and display the report.
UPDATE: With some more research, I've found that MVC projects do not allow object data sources to be used within them. One solution for my issue is to create a separate project in the solution -- a web application, a service, or even just a class library, to add the report to and design it accordingly.'m still looking for alternatives here, so don't run away too fast!
