Hi there!
For setting different languages on the column haeders i need to access a dataset from a custom code function call. I want to pass a parameter to the function that will allow me to find a specific item in the dataset - like a lookup function. I cannot find a way to get access to the entire dataset and to iterate through its components.
Is there any solution? Every hint will be helpful!
Thanks, Torsten
I am trying to find ways around the limitation of not being able to resize columns based on the text input. I am dynamically setting what values a column is getting from my query. I am wondering if I can access the table (and thus, the columns) from within the custom code.
For example:
Public Function Whynot() As Integer
Report.table1.TableColumn1.Width = ....
table1.TableColumn.Width = ....
Return 0
End Function
Neither of these seem to work, anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks
Hello all!
I have a question. I have report that have defined dataset. Can I somehow get access to data in this dataset from this report in Code section?
I need to write function that will return value from one field based on 45 parameters (they are values from 4 fields in this datset), like:
dataset fields:
RYear, RMonth, AYear, AMonth, CAtegory, Amount.
I need to get Amount based on RYear, RMonth, AYear, AMonth, Category values that I need to pass as parameters to functions.
Thank you
Hi all,
Could someone tell me if custom code function can capture the event caused by a user? For example, onclick event on the rendered report?
Also, can custom code function alter the parameters of the report, or refresh the report?
Thanks.
Is it possible to have a Reporting Services dataset be returned from a custom assembly? I need to produce data for a graph that is not easily queried from the database and I am already familiar with using a custom assembly in an RS report.
What I would like to do is have a method that fills a dataset and returns it to the report for processing. Is this possible?
I am running SQL 2000 and RS 2000.
Thanks.
HI All,
Is there any way to pass report dataset to Custom function as object?

I have been getting to grips with writing a custom data processing extension for using a supplied dataset. I have got it working OK so far, but I don't see how to make use of relational data. There's plenty of code for walking through the fields, but nothing to walk through the tables. Since this clearly has to be possible can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm developing an ASP.NET application that creates on-demand reports with Reporting Services 2005 in report server.
I use a custom data set that contains the data that I want to bind to the report, and I use a WebService to pass that DataSet to the reporting services to accomplish my purpose.
The query passed to the reporting services is:
<Query>
<Method Namespace=http://myNameSpace.com Name="GetDataSetForReport"/> <SoapAction>http://myNameSpace.com/WebService/GetDataSetForReport</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetDataSetForReportResponse{}/GetDataSetForReportResult{}/diffgram{}/ReportDataSet{}/MyTable{Fields1,Fields2,Fields3,..,FieldsN,Image}</ElementPath>
</Query>
This works well and all the fields are displayed in the report fine except the Image Fields, that are not showing (the red X appears instead of the image).
The issue is that all the data that is bind to the dataset is contained in a SQL Server 2005 database, and the Image column in the table of that database is a VARBINARY(MAX) field (I insert the image into the database table).
Also, when I created the dataset in .NET, the column type of the dataset I declared for the Image field was Byte[], but that didn't work for me. I've also tried to declare as the field type Byte,SqlByte,Image,SqlBinary, etc without succesfull results.
I've also tried creating a XML Schema, declaring the Image field as base64Binary, then do DataSet.ReadXMLSchema(myschema) and then retrievied the data from sql server and filled the dataset, Again, the Images doesn`t display.
For finnishing my unsatisfactory tests, I've also tried to handle the image data with a MemoryStream object:
MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();
MemoryStream oStream = new MemoryStream();
mem.Write((Byte[])dr["Image"],0 , ((Byte[])dr["Image"]).Length); //dr is the datareader used to read from the DB
Image image = Image.FromStream(mem);
try
{
image.Save(oStream, ImageFormat.Png);
}
catch{}
newRow["Image"] = oStream.GetBuffer(); //newRow is a row of the custom DataSet.Table passed to the SSRS.
But again, the Image is not showing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for you time.
Hi
I really need your help. I’ve got a table with 4 columns – username (a string of text), dateTime (a date and time), duration (time in minutes), roomID (URL). I really need some help with writing up some code behind to check if a user has permission to continue. I’ve got the first bit, but I need help with collecting the data and testing it:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Global.ConnectionString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from tblActiveSession where Username=@Username", conn);
SqlParameter paraUsername = cmd.Parameters.Add("@Username", SqlDbType.NVarChar); paraUsername.Value = this.txtUsername.Text;
try { conn.Open()
This is where I need the help. What I need is to test each row against the following:
If now() is within the allowed time frame – greater than dateTime, but less than dateTime + duration, then break the loop and redirect to roomID.
I really hope this makes sence, and I’m greatful for any help.
Many thanksRichard
Is there any better way to debug a query encased in IIF statements thanto find bugs at runtime? I have an especially ugly CommandText for oneof my datasets, and debugging it when there is an error is nearlyimpossible. I realize that it's much cleaner when you have straightSQL, but otherwise the tool doesn't seem to be very user-friendly.Thanks,Mike

I am trying to use custom code on a report which is:
Public Function Percentage(decValueOne As Double, decValueTwo As Double) As Object
If (decValueOne = 0 Or decValueTwo = 0) Then
Percentage = 0
Else
Percentage = (decValueOne - decValueTwo)

Hey guys I have a problem I am trying to solve using custom code but I am open to other solutions.
Situation: I have multiple reports that the user can see. Example (Move In Corp. report, Move In Region report,Move In Division report, Mid Year Corp. report, Mid Year Region report,Mid Year Division report etc.) I have a stored procedure that returns all the information needed based upon the UserID being passed from the report to the stored procedure.
Goal: When the user logs in I want to be able to foward the user to a specific report based upon their userid (global in RS). I currently have three textboxes(Move In, Mid Year, Year End) with navigation enabled to jump to another report. The report to which the user is passed to is determined by an expression which is something like this for the Move In text box =IIF(Fields!orgtypeid.Value = 1,"Move In Corp","Move In Region"). The orgtypeid.value is returned by the stored procedure. I want to be able to forward the user a specific Move In report (Move In Corp, Move In Region, etc) without having the user select the textbox.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hello, this is probably a pretty easy one. I have made a report, and added custom code in the code tab on the report properties. But when I type code.whatever in a text box expression my function does not show. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Hi
I'm modifying a report from MS CRM. Sales Pipeline. Not the easiest one but still. I just got to the drilldown report and need to change some things in it. I tested the SQL code as I could in SQL Server Management Studio so that I don't have any misspellings (the report I'm modifying is on a remote location). Anyway, now that I copy my code to the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and to the dataset I'm modyfing I see that a chunk of code from the bottom is missing ... ??? ... is there a limit on how much I can type?!
I counted in Word that I have 33.176 characters and 878 lines of code. Is that to much?!
The original report has a dataset of 27.529 characters and 724 lines of SQL code.
Is it possible to do a redirect to an arbitrary page in by using custom code?
eg.
Public sub myRedirect()
response.redirect(http://www.microsoft.com)
End sub

I developed a ConnectionString assembly in custom code a while back. Now it won't work. I've changed boxes since. My question is do I have to have SQL Server and Reporting Services on my development machine to run Custom Code assemblies?
I put my dll in the PublicAssemblies folder. I see that I need to put my dll in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsReport Designer but I don't have that folder.
When I try and set the ConnectionString to "=ReportingLibrary.ReportingLibraryFunctions.ConnectionString(User!UserID)", I get "Unrecognized Identifier." I checked the reference and it was still there from when the project was working before.
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using System.Configuration;
namespace ReportingLibrary
{
public class ReportingLibraryFunctions
{
public static string ConnectionString(string userName)
{
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission oPerm = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);
oPerm.Assert();
string catalog;
string query;
string connectstring;
string datasrc = String.Format("Data Source={0};", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DataSource"]);
string userpwd = String.Format("User ID={0};Password={1};", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBUsr"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBPwd"]);
query = "SELECT TOP 1 MyAcctKey FROM dbo.MyUserAcct WHERE UserName=@username;";
connectstring = String.Format("{0}Initial Catalog=MyMaster;", datasrc);
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(String.Format("{0}{1}", datasrc, userpwd));
connection.Open();
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand command = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(query, connection);
command.Parameters.Add("@username", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters["@username"].Value = userName;
catalog = String.Format("MyDb_{0};", command.ExecuteScalar());
connectstring = String.Format("{0}Initial Catalog={1}", datasrc, catalog);
connection.Close();
return connectstring;

I have been stuck in a problem for a while now. I am trying to count the number of groups. I tried soo many things and nothing worked . Now I want to try to write a function that does the counting for me.
Can somebody write me an example of a cutom code that can be called from expression.
So my custome code should be something like that
Public int CountFun(int counter)
{
Return counter= counter +1;
}
Also how do I call this method from my expression?
i am going to call it from a field inside the groups, so each time the group is implemented i add one to the counter.
thanks
Is it not possible to have nested ifs in a custom code function? I keep getting an error message when I try it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using a GAC-installed assembly as part of a Reporting Services
(2005) report. The code does not need any permissions beyond execution.
All it does it take today's date and calculate last week's start and
end date. It's all just datetime manipulations. All methods are static.
In
the VS2005 report designer, I can do everything fine. The code runs as
expected and defaults the parameters to the right date.
When I
upload the rdl to the Report Server, I get the message "Error during
processing of €˜Start€™ report parameter.
(rsReportParameterProcessingError) ". If I override the "Start"
parameter, it doesn't give me that error anymore. Start should be the
Sunday of the previous week.
I have deployed the signed assembly to the GAC on the report server as well as the bin folder for reporting services. Because it doesn't need anything beyond execution, I shouldn't have to modify any config files, right? I have already restarted IIS & the Reporting Services service.
What am I missing?
Hello everyone,
I've got an issue where I want to sum the group values and not the details, the reason is because I am hiding duplicate records. Here's how my Layout is setup.
TH
GH1 (hidden)
GH2 (hidden)
Det (hidden)
GF2 =Code.AddValue(Fields!Quantity.Value * Fieds!Cost.Value)
GF1 =Code.ShowAndResetSubTotal()
TF =Code.GrandTotal
I have the following in my Code window.
Dim Public SubTotal as Decimal
Dim Public GrandTotal as Decimal
Function ShowAndResetSubTotal() as Decimal
ShowAndResetSubTotal = SubTotal
SubTotal = 0
End Function
Function AddValue(newValue as decimal) as Decimal
SubTotal += newValue
GrandTotal += newValue
AddValue = newValue
End Function
This gives me incorrect results and I can't figure out why. Here's how it shows on my report:
Part Number

The issues brought up from the duplicates is shown in the "Regular Subtotal Method" column (there are 2 detail records for Customer 1-Part 1, which is why it is doubled). I can't use a distinct on the SQL query because there are other fields (not shown) on the report that are different.
As you can see, the GF1 (Customer #) shows the subtotal from the previous group, and the Table Footer (Grand Total) shows 0. Why is this?

Hi guys,
i was developing some custom code to do a running total in a matrix, and i have noticed some odd behaviour with the InScope function. I am doing year on year reporting, so i have two row groups on my matrix: the first is on month (matrix2_Calendar_Month), the second on year (matrix2_Calendar_Year).
I needed to total the number of days covered by the months i was reporting on, so i wrote some very standard code to do this, along with an expression in that column of the matrix:
=IIf(
InScope("matrix2_Calendar_Year"),
CStr( Round( Sum(Fields!Sales.Value / (24 * Code.AddDays( CStr(Fields!Calendar_Month.Value), CInt(Fields!Calendar_Year.Value))), 2)) ,
Code.getBounds()
)
Code.AddDays() calculates and returns the number of days in the month of that year on that row. Code.getBounds simply returns the lower and upper bounds of the array, plus its contents (so i can inspect them). This is what is returned in the report:
Month / Year
Sales
Capacity
% Capacity
Avg $/h

If you look at the output in the total row, you will see that Code.AddDays() has been called one extra time at the end, with Feb 2006 as its parameters, thus adding an extra 28 days to the running total. Why is Code.AddDays called on the total row, when i should be out of the scope of both the row groups? (Note: this happens for whichever row group i use in the InScope check in the expression).
Here is the custom code used for all this:
Dim numDays()
Public Function AddDays(ByVal month As String, ByVal year As Integer) As Integer
Dim thisMonth As String
Dim upper As Integer
upper = 0
On Error Resume Next
upper = UBound(numDays) + 1
ReDim Preserve numDays(upper)
thisMonth = CStr(year) & "-" & month & "-01"
numDays(upper) = DateDiff("d", CDate(thisMonth), DateAdd("m", 1, CDate(thisMonth)))
AddDays = numDays(upper)
End Function
Public Function TotalDays() As Integer
Dim lower As Integer
Dim upper As Integer
lower = 0
upper = 0
On Error Resume Next
lower = LBound(numDays)
upper = UBound(numDays)
TotalDays = 0
Dim ii As Integer
For ii = lower To upper
TotalDays = TotalDays + CInt(numDays(ii))
Next
End Function
public function getBounds() as string
getBounds = Cstr(LBound(numDays)) & "-" & CStr(UBound(numDays)) & "*" & Join(numDays, ",")
end function

I have a custom C# assembly that my report is calling with embedded code that is called from fields in a reporting services table. The value comes back fine, but I need some of the values to be indented, so I have tried all of the following and every time the spaces are cut off. Spaces work when not using embedded code.
I tried the following in the table cell
=Space(3)+Code.<<String Function Name>>
and I tried
=" "+Code.<<String Function Name>>
Then I tried the code in the assembly and in the embedded code with the same result. No matter where I put the spaces they get cut off. Any ideas? I tried characters other than spaces and they came back fine.
Thanks,

I have dataadapter and dataset that reads/writes to SQL tables.
I can read. I can create "new" records.
However, I have not been able to master the "updating" of an existing row.
Can someone provide me specific code for doing this please or tell me what I doing wrong in the code below.
The code I using is below. I don't get error, but changes do not get written to SQL dbase.
For starters, I think I "not" supposed to use the 2nd line(....NewRow). I think this is only for new row, not updating of existing row - but I don't know any other way to get schema of row.
thanks to any who can help

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.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm trying to run a DTS package, and cant find an easy direct way to run it. It seems like the easiest solution would be to throw a custom error- then the server notices the error and runs a custom job, and the custom job runs the DTS. This is a roundabout way, but seems like it would be the simplest solution.Anyways, how do I throw the error in my code? Do I just write a throw 3829 statement? Also maybe this is a very bad way to do this- any suggestions?

Is it possible to add a multivalued parameter to a report from C#? I already have a C# .dll which I reference in the report. If so, could someone give some hints on how to do it?
As I searched the net for an answer to this, I came across ReportExecutionService. It looks like it's what I want, but I cant find the dll to reference in order to used this class. Does anyone know?
If it is not possible to do this from C#, then can someone please give an example on how to do it from Custom Code?

I created a class library which uses a web reference
My SSRS report uses the class through its custom code
I copied the dll & dll.config of the class library to the VS2005 private assembllies and the report works
I copied the dll & dd.config to the reportserver bin and gave the assembly full trust by adding the necessary code group
I even added a code group the give the dll.config file full trust as well
Yet on Repost server, the report does not work
Any ideas
I suspect it is a permission problem
OK. I created a few functions in a Public Class called SSRSFunctions. I built it and deployed it to my desktop. What do I do now? Can it be included as standard functions in the function list within SSRS? Do I add a reference to the Class at the solution level? At the report level? If all I do is add a reference at the report level, I may as well add the functions to each report's code window, which is what I have been doing. I'd at least like to add a single reference to my solution if I can't get it added to the function list.
Thanks!
