I want to display a varbinary field in the reports. the field contains value "<B> example </B>. When viewed in report viewer, it displays the value as such.
I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1
I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
Hi,I have setup a report model and am ready to deploy it for the first time. I have had no issues deploying my report definitions so presumably this should be alright.However, trying to deploy it gives this error:

I have a report which uses for one of its columns, a text field that contains HTML formatting. FreeTextBox is used to enter the rich-text data and is bound to a dataset, in this type of format : <BR><B>the title</B><P>Some stuff...</P>. Needless to say, when this prints out it does not look very useful. Is there any way to embed a rich-text type field in a report?
I am using the asp.net web application and microsoft visual studio reportviewer control and rdlc for creating a report ( not using sql server reporting). I used the Product table to view the result. It has five fields and I display all the itemsin the report. One field is Description and it store the html code as the value(eg:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). I want to disply the output of this html code in my report's description field. But in my report, it shows the html value that I stored in my table (:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). How can I render the html in my report. Please give me a solution.
I am retrieving a field from SQL and displaying that data on a web page. The data contains a mixture of text and html codes, like this "<b>test</b>". But rather than displaying the word test in bold, it is displaying the entire sting as text. How do I get it to treat the HTML as HTML?

I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.
Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.

I've got a SQL Reporting Server 2000 SP2 report that takes 3 parameters. FromDT, ToDT, and LocationCD. The first two parameters are free form text fields that expect a date. The last one is a drop down box. For some reason, when I'm viewing the report through the standard reports folder on the report server I have to click the "View Report" button two times to get the report to render. Clicking it just once, doesn't seem to do anything. The report is a line graph.
There are default values in the FromDT and ToDT parameter fields.
Anyone have any ideas what would be causing the need for the second click?
Hello All, I have a report which throwing this error:
Cannot read the next data row for the data set ALERTSBYSERVERS. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow) Get Online Help Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime
This report can be viewed on the Visual Studio, but is not rendering it on the Reporting console. Any ideas??
Can anybody tell me if it's possible to set a report to render directly to PDF please. I've found stuff on how to do it via a url but that's not how we want to do it.
I've got a complex report with many subreports that is running on a reporting services 2005 machine with sp2 installed. The report was working well, producing a 2800 page report in under 10 minutes. I made a change to an expression in a table's column header and one change to the detail and the report stopped working. It would just hang for hours with no messages in the logs.
I tried to simplify what the report server had to do by removing the sum's to the database side's stored proc but that didn't work. I finally managed to get the report to work by removing a totals section to a subreport. I've also had the same hanging condition occur when I merged some columns in the table. I also found a workaround for this problem.
Is anyone else finding problems like this? They don't seem to be code related.
Is there a limit to how complex a report can be in reporting services or the PDF rendering part of the process?
I seem to be unable to pass parameters from a VB .Net application to Reporting Services.
Before I added the parameters to the query, I got all the rows back. So I know the application is basically working. Now that I have added the parameters, I get nothing.
I thought the SetExecutionParameters function would help, but my syntax is wrong and it fails.
I would appreciate any hint as to what step I am missing.
Report setup:
Parameters
Name Value @Report =Parameters!Report.Value @Corp =Parameters!Corp.Value @Dept =Parameters!Dept.Value

I am trying to redo an app that I built to gen reoprts from the command line in a specified format using RS 2000 to use RS 2005. However, I am having a problem using rs.exe to render a report. It looks like the rs.Render method no longer exists. It also looks like you can no longer get to these methods from the rs.exe environment.
Is it still possible to render reports using rs.exe? If so, can somebody please provide an example?
We have written a C# program in which we want to execute a SQL Report and return the report as a PDF
When we execute our code we get a message that System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/production/Sudhir' cannot be found. ---> What Is syntax for ReportExecutionService.render(string report) How do we define the string report?
ReportService.ReportingService rs = new ReportService.ReportingService();
result = rs.Render("/production/Sudhir", "PDF", null, null, null, null, null, out encoding, out mimetype, out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamids);
I have 2 reports that report on baiscally the same thing, just group differently.
Report 1 groups summary phone call stats by Department, Day, and Hour - which are all drop down options. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see daily stats ... the daily stats can then be expanded to see the hourly stats.
Kinda Like: ------------------------- -Department 1 -10/1/2007 12:00 AM 1:00 AM +10/2/2007
+Department 2 -------------------------
Report 2 shows the same summary stats by department and extension - which is also a drop down option. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see summary stats for each extension.
The queries for these reports run from the Management Studio in about 10 seconds each with the Report 1 query returning about 800 rows for the month of October 2007 and the Report 2 query returning about 30 rows for the same date range.
When the reports are rendered, Report 1 (with 800 rows) is rendered in about 20 seconds, while Report 2 (with only 30 rows) takes about 5 minutes to render.
The reports themselves are very similar, with the only difference being the grouping. It is weird that the report that returns the samller Dataset is actually taking longer to render.
One thing I did try was running the queries from the Data tab of the .rdl files (in visual studio) and the query for Report 2 took about 4 minutes to return data, while (as I mentioned above) it ran in about 10 seconds in Management Studio.
I know I can display the time that the report was generated, but can I display how LONG it took for the report to complete?
From when the first query was executed to the time all the data was returned and/or the time it took for the report to be rendered back to the end user?
I am trying to export a report into a format whiich I will then allow the user to make some final editions to prior to printing. Apparently LocalReport>Render does not support word format, however is supports others, what is the best format for me to export a report out into in order to then allow the user to edit it prior to printing, Ideally I would have just liked to lauch ms word and allow the user to edit the report if disired prior ro printing, but if I first export to .mhtml it seems to mess the column widths of the report up when opened in word..
We have a solution where we from a Windows application (using the report viewer control SP1) display some reports. Some of the reports uses a custom report item to display some graphics. This works fine on a lot of different installations, but now (for some reason) we have a problem at one customer.
We get strange GDI and transport errors when rendering these reports:
"Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed."
or
"Remote GDI stream version: 10.0.1. Expected version 10.0.1. Offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from the index to the end of the source collection."
These report work fine when you run them in the browser, but they never work in the report viewer control...
Hi I wonder if it is possible to create a dataset in code and then feed it to a Reporting Svcs (RS) report and have it rendered on the data from this dataset. My collegues does this with Crystal and it would break my heart if I cant do this with (RS)... I have tried to find a solution but so far, no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
I have set up a test subscription that sends an email that includes both the report and the url link to the report. However, the report does not render when user clicks on url link in subscription email. The parameter toolbar sorta appears at top of page but buttons are not showing correcty. I saw similiar issue posted in another forum but no one had resolved yet. We all noticed that the subscription email uses /reportserver folder instead of /Reports folder.
The report does appear fine in the email so I believe the problem is the URL.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the sheet names in Excel when exporting a report from Reporting Services 2005. In other words, I have a report with approximately 5 page breaks built in. When I render the report to Excel, it creates the 5 sheets as I expect, but it names them "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" etc... Is there a way to specify the name of the sheets? I am currently using a different table in my report for each sheet, but I am open to structuring this differently if needed.
I have an application wherein I need to generate a single report(possibly in PDF format) which contains more than one report. Iam using SSRS 2005. In my application Iam using report server url to render reports. The below is URL for rendering single report.
I have searched many forums and found some cases of people also reporting slower rendering in RS than in Management Studio / Query Analyzer. However, none of the other solution suggestions seem to make a difference for me.
I'm a VS/VB developer and have got multiple reports built -- all using stored procedures on the backend -- that all take many times longer to run than if executed via Management Studio (SSMS). My simplest proc takes a couple of parameters (no defaults included) and does a simple select against one table with a few joins. Nothing complicated. It runs in 8 secs for 6867 rows via SSMS. Through RS (running locally through Visual Studio 2005 at this point) it takes around 25-28 secs. Yet, when I'm in the report on the DATA tab (not the PREVIEW tab) the run takes the expected 8 secs ?!?!
All reports are behaving this way.
I am not using cursors. I have no default values on parameters. I have added the "WITH RECOMPILE" to the proc statement. I have "SET NOCOUNT ON" as the first line of the proc. I hate to say this, but I even connected the proc to Crystal Reports to see how it behaved. It ran in the expected 8 secs.
I've seen some mention by someone that perhaps this is a known issue of RS that it reads the proc twice. Any truth to this?
Also a couple posts have traced and demonstrated that the report is generating significantly more data "reads" via RS than through SSMS.
We're a shop that is considering a switch from Crystal to RS, but we do everything through stored procedures. I need to clear up this issue before I can go forward recommending a switch. I'm including a copy of a typical proc below for review... What am I missing? What's the deal here with RS?

Is there a way to programmatically save a RS results into Excel format using the render method ?
I had read about that capability but I can't seem to find any sample code on how to do it. Is this a parameter that you have to set in the render method ?
Hi all. Iv'e tryed out xp_smtp_sendmail, and I like what I can see sofar. The thing I wonder about is if the xp supports sending both htmlAND plain text in the same mail. I'm on a sql2000 sp3 and I have noproblem with the xp when i either send plain text or html, but asstated above I need to send with both formats in one mail......For use when one does not know if the receiver uses a mail-client thatsupports html or not. If not does anyone know of a good way to attackthis problem?thanks in advanceKarl B
