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.
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

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.

I have a matrix with rows indicating a name (Ex Store name) and I have data pertaining to that in the DATA cells. I also have another date field in this format (MM/DD/YYYY). I would like to use a cross tab between Store Names and Just the Month of the date field.

is there any expression I can use to get the month format on the header of column.
We are using Reporting Services to generate a purchase order, which is rendered as pdf before displaying on the screen. The report works well, as is, except that now we have to add a Terms & Conditions page to every PO. I've tried placing it in the footer, setting it to display only on the last page--this didn't work. I've also tried adding it to the body, setting the "Page Break Before" property to "true". This works, except that it looks like there is still space reserved for the header (i.e. the header's "show on last page" property is set to false). I can't get the Terms & conditions to fill the page. how I could attach or bind the pdf generated by reporting services with a pdf version of the Terms & Conditions sheet?
Note: We are using ASP & VB.NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, & SQL Server 2005.

View 1 RepliesI have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
View 4 RepliesI'm building an aplication with an MS Access database behind the scene. In many of my forms I'm gonna use DataGridViews to show data from the database, not an entire table but data based on manually built queries. So, I have few questions without answers, by now. Solutions or 1. I haven't decided how will I bring the database into the project: from the menu -> Add New Data Source, or within the code, at runtime. I still don't know which one's best or why.2. How exactly can I execute any SQL query (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE etc) on my Access database from my aplication?

View 1 RepliesI have recently wanted to start work on an application that uses an MS-ACCESS database. The problem is that no matter what I do, the actual database will not retain any records added. I have followed the Microsoft examples to the letter and it does not work. As long as I have my app running I can add, edit and delete the records. As soon as I close it and run it again, all the records are gone. The mdb is not read only, I've checked it. I also decided to try the my video collection example program that is included with VB 2005 and it will not retain any records either. Is there any code I need to add to get this to work or is my copy of VB 2005 broken? This is extremely frustration because I plunked down a lot of money for Visual Studio 2005 Professional. This is a key feature and it should work. Microsoft had me do a reinstall and apply a couple of patches and it still did the same thing. They told me either I am not coding it right or my system is flaking out. I did a fresh install of Windows (I even formatted the drive before installing), and reinstalled VS yet again and even with that being the only program on there, it still will not work. So I installed all my programs again, restored my backups and now a day and a half later I am writing this.
View 9 RepliesI have just installed VB.NET 2003 and I am trying to manage some databases using SQL Server 2005 Express.When I try accessing the database via the data connection tab, I get the following message.
Quote: You have connected to a version of SQL Server later than SQL Server 2000. The version of Visual Studio or Access that you are using was released before the version of SQL Server to which you are connected. For this reason, you might encounter problems.
Please check with Microsoft to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to save any objects or database diagrams that you create using the Visual Database Tools.I can not add tables or manage data fields.
