I'm creating a Windows Service that needs to print a report. Obviously a service app does not have a user interface. Is there a way I can print my report definition (RDLC) programatically or do I absolutely have to have the Report Viewer control on a form?

The company that I work for is not so much sacred of new technology they just seem to let things slip, you know the type, "It worked 5/6+ years ago so I don't see why we should change it"Despite this I have managed by hook or by crook to get an installation of SQL server 2008R2 to develop on which has the reporting services. Excellent I think, I can finally start moving some of the access applications to VB.net and use SSRS to provide some embedded reports, everyone is happy.But not so fast, it turns out the standard build of desktop here only has .net1.1. I have managed to dust off a copy of visual studio 2003 (The last edition that could target 1.1) and built a few little tests to check DB connectivity. The problem I am having is the report viewer control is only available in .net2.0 and above.So what options do I have for displaying my SSRS reports in a VB.net1.1 thick client application?
Before anyone asks the following options are out
Going anything web based (Farrrrrrrrrr too modern for the company + no web server)
Upgrading to a version of .net released after George Bush the 2nd lost an election but still became president
Changing jobs
In onw of our application, we have some reports that need very specific margins that are dependant of the printer the user have. It is used to print into preformated paper with blanks to fill and depending of the printer, the printing is off by some margins. To make things worse, we don't actually control what printer is used because it is not an internal application.
The only solution I could think of is to let the user configure the margins somehow. I though I could just dinamycally change the report margins like I did with datasources and actual report ( I have one control that is used to display every reports from my application and it works alright), but I can't seem to find that damn property to do so. There is a margin property on the report viewer but it's for the form display so it doesn't cut it.What I was thinking to do is to define the margins before the user loads the report, i.e. when he clicks on the report button, I load the report, set the margins (or vice-versa is necessary) and then display it.
Before someone mention it, I know the user can, once the report is loaded, change the page setup to fit his needs, but this has two drawbakcs. First one is that it is not saved each time and I need it to be 'saveable' and by users. The second one is that Report viewer seems to have some bugs when the regional setting aren't set to what it's expecting and we can't force the users to changes their setting to accomodate one application.
I have a vb.net project containing the report viewer control that has a dataset bound to it. I have designed a letter in report viewer and need to highlight a few words by bolding and underlining the words. Can this be done? All I seem to be able to do is bold the textbox control, but then every text that resides in the text box will be bold and underlined. I cannot create a static label because the names may increase or decrease in size as well.
View 7 RepliesCan'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 already posted this question on the "reporting services" forum and received no responses, so i thought i'd give it a try here.
SQL server 2005 SP3, VS 2005, vb.net, RV control.
When i add a background image to the page header, body and page footer, The rendering takes about one second per page. Without the background images, it renders about 25-50 pages per second. My report is a statement print report and has about 1500 pages.
Since it is the same image on each page, why does the server need to send that image over and over again to the report viewer control?
In vb.net i have the Report Viewer control and i bring up a report in normal viewing mode. when i click on the print layout mode, or have that mode set up to be the default mode, It takes forever when i have a background image and virtually no time for the same report without the images. The images are gifs about 5 or 6k each. I have chosen to embed the image into the report.
How do i optimize the usage of background images so they do not interfere with the rendering speed? Or at least minimalize the slowdown.
[EDIT:] I have discovered that if i render it to PDF and open the PDF and page through the report, it is much much faster. In other words if i choose to render to 'printlayout', it is say 25 times slower than when i render it to default, and about 20 times slower then if i render it to PDF. And the PDF contains exact rendering for all pages, exactly the same rendering as the print layout mode generates.

When I run this code my form with crystalreportviewer not show dataset
FormA contain a textbox for user to enter their name and a button. When the user click the button, it will show the FormB which contain the CrystalReportViewer. I would like to to display the name which the user enter in the textbox on FormA on the CyrstalReportViewer.
The question is, how do I pass the textbox value to the Crystal Report Viewer The secondary question is how I am going to display the value on the Crystal Report Viewer.For you information, I am using VB.net.
When i pass the parameter and run the report it works fine as i close the form it closes the form is there any way so that i should be able to close the crystal report viewer and pass the parameter again and should be able to view report again.

View 2 RepliesI have a "MicrosoftReportViewer" on a form and a Combo box that lists the available reports (which will end up being dynamic in the end).
When the use selects an item from the list, the system loads up the correct report (populating any datasets needed) and then displaying it.Thing is, I can't get the viewer to change the displayed report, it just refreshes the first loaded report.
As you can see from the code below, there are two reports set up. I can get either one to be displayed if you select it first, sadly you're then stuck with that one!Currently they both use the same datasouce, so no need to mess about with that.
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged

This just loads up the report that the viewer has set as the default, reguardless of the report selected!What am I missing? There should be a way to change the report being viewed and I don't really want to be having multiple viewers just to house multiple reports?
