What is the best way to launch reporting services reports from .Net code? One method would be to dynamically build a URL and launch a browser. Something like this:
http://server/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fReport+Directory%2fReport%20Name&FirstParameter=1,2,3&SecondParameter=8/30/2009&rs%3aCommand=Render
[code].....
I have the following code in "Custom Code" in SSRS 2008. It works fine in VS2008 but it won't run on the server:
Public Shared Function Ns(ByVal num as Object, ByVal def as Object) as Object
if IsNothing(num) OrElse Not IsNumeric(num) OrElse System.Double.IsNaN(num) then
return def
[code].....
Can these two things work together? That is VB.Net Standard NOT VB.net 2005 or vb.net 2008 or any other year. If not is there an inexpensive solution for reporting in VB.Net Standard and SQL server?
View 1 RepliesWe have a VB.NET (aspx) website with a login first page. Once the user has logged in and is authenticated they are taken to a single page with a Menu Bar at the top and a report viewer control underneath. When the user has logged in the report viewer is initially populated by a dynamic menu (a menu of links to other reports depending on each user's permission).
Now, on some reports that the user access from the main menu, they like to export the data. The nicely formatted reports export nicely to PDF but these same reports look awful when you export to excel. Further more what is required from the excel version is no formatting and also to include extra columns of data that are available form the dataset but not from the rendered report (for use with importing these expoerts into other systems).
Is it possible to extract the data that is generated from the dataset that renders the report?What I would like to do is obtain this data and create my own excel export option (of which I will put into the page Menu bar at the top of the screen). It is important to just grab the data that is generated because different data is available depending on the parameters the user has chosen.
I have the following code:
public sub PrettyRows()
dim ds as dataset = report.dataset1
dim GroupName as string = ""
[Code]....
The Protected Overrides Sub OnInit() is comparable to the load event in VB.NET.
I am utilizing this event to call my custom sub PrettyRows. This sub will iterate the rows in my dataset and change the first column in each row so that an entry only appears once, This is being utilized to identify what group the row belongs to. The rows are sorted by group and I only wish to display the group name once and I am removing all other references to the group name.
We are trying to add SQL Reporting Services to a .Net 2.0 Web Application. SRS has been installed on the server successfully, but we get an error when we try to load a report or access the report manager:
Server Error in '/Reports' Application.Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'netGmrc' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The error is being coming from a line in the web.config where an httpHandler called Upload.axc is being added to the web application. The entire httpHandler section is listed below.
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="Upload.axd" type="netGmrc.Upload, netGmrc"/>
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
[code]....
When we remove the Upload.axd handler from Web.Config, everything in SRS works fine. What is the proper way to have Reporting Services work along side the web application with this httphandler?
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 to produce a one-time report that will group records according to the PLANCODE field. I've created the following VB function:
[Code]...
How do I reference the above function in a new calculated field so that the report will group data based on the results of this function? The doucmentation states that the expression should be something like =code.PayorGroup. However, when I try this expression in the Calculated Field window, I get the infamous red squiggly line stating Unrecognized Idnetifier.
Does Visual Basic 2010 have any reporting services, ie, Microsoft Report viewer?
View 6 RepliesI have a report parameter which looks like this: 01.01.2009 00:00:00.Its a date (as string), as you might have guessed :). The problem is, this param can be an empty string as well. So I tried those expressions:
=IIf(IsDate(Parameters!DateTo.Value), CDate(Parameters!DateTo.Value), "")
=IIf(Len(Parameters!DateTo.Value) > 0, CDate(Parameters!DateTo.Value), "")
Both dont work and the value for the textfield where I print the expressions result is always #Error. As soon as I remove the CDate stuff, it works, but I have to use it. IS there another way to achieve that? What I want is to display nothing if its not a date or the date (format dd.mm.yyyy) if its a date.
I have a function in SSRS using VB.NET as follows: Public Function GenerateCSV(byval str as string, byval str1 as string, byval str2 as string, byval GrpName as string)
[Code]...
This works great is str, str1 and str2 have a value and only one value. But I want to make it so if the value isn't there or there is only one value there is no comma and if there are multiple commas there is a comma.
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.
View 1 RepliesI use VB in Visual Studio 2008 Pro. I've created a few solutions using the Crystal Reports tools. I found them easy to work with & easy to do things, (export to different formats, refresh reports, write an automated service that ran & saved reports, etc...)Is CR in VB 2010? If so - which version of VS 2010 do you need to buy to get it?OR - is the reporting services in VS a suitable replacement? Is there a viewer / preview like the CR tools? Can you create a standalone app to refresh reports & export them to different formats? Which version of VS 2010 would I need to purchase to get these?At home - I use Win 7 media centre (a fantastic piece of software). Are there any development 'goodies' in Visual Basic 2010 for Win 7 Media Centre?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a report using MS reporting services (rdlc file) and having trouble figuring out syntax to take calculated data from a textbox in table1 to table2. In other words, I have totals calculated in table1 and I need to display those totals in another table (table2) and/or a text box outside of table1.
I have tried versions of =ReportItems!TextBox37.Text and =ReportItems!TextBox37.Value and =ReportItems("TextBox37").value etc. but with no luck. The last thing =ReportItems("TextBox37").value does compile but it prints #error on the report.

I am using the below code to dynamically change the text, but I also need to change the color from black to red of the entire row in SSRS, using VB.NET.However, row.Cells.Style.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red does not work. Any ideas on how to dynamically change text color in a particular row?

how I could do that to click a button on a Winform send a URL or you can (with parameters) to a Reporting Services and it loads in a browser.
View 4 RepliesQuestion: How to pass the current user on the web page from the IIS server to the Reporting Services Server.I have seen this topic throughout the forums. However, the answers are always hard code the user in web.config - use a login window and pass those fields to the IReportServercredentials or create one user for everyone.
When the person who asks the question comes back and says that doesn't work there is not answer.Does anyone know how to do this? I have VS 2008 ( and 2010 ) I am sending the info to SSRS 2005 server.As anyone using SSRS knows that if the reports have parameters and udf behind the report to inspect who the user is, then you have to pass that user to the report.

I have been programming steady with vb.net for a year now and was all happy about using the List view and email etc from web sites. I even used a reportviewer to pdf to email attach, cool. Now I feel quite lost and realize I have not been using properties, etc. That is my background.
I have an input parameter for my stored Proc, Instead of choosing available values from a drop Dwn, the customer wants an empty input box that when left blank returns all records. the parameter type is numeric(6,0) in the Db. I have not found a way to leave the input blank and retrieve all records. my default value for all records is '-99' and also is declared as the default value for the param in the proc.

Recently, I unfortunately installed Windows Vista x64 on my computer! Now, besides all other problems, I realized that Crystal Reports which has been installed with .Net 2005, isn't compatible with Vista x64.
