Binding WebService As Datasource
Feb 22, 2007I've painstakingly managed to get a XmlDocument from a webservice and run this to retrieve data.
However, i cannot bind any of the returned elements to anything. Any help appreciated.

Hello all,
When trying to configure a WCF service as a report data source I have these following questions:
1. What do I need to provide for the connection string?
I currently wrote http://localhost:8003/ServiceName/ which returns the WSDL. Is that correct?
2. I don't know what to write inside the Query defintion. I currently wrote:
<Query>
<SoapAction>
http://tempuri.org/ServiceContractInterface/MethodName
</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/ServiceContractInterface"
Name="MethodName">
</Method>
</Query>
and the result is:
Failed to prepare web request for the specified URL. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions).
Can any one please point me in the right direction?!
Thanks.
I'm trying to build WebService to use result as DataSource for RS 2005 (XML DataSource).
But I have a strange problem.
I have WebMethod with parameters.
When I'm testing my WS in browser then everything works just fine.
But... When I'm trying to call this web-service from VS2005 environment then something strange happens.
Looks like VS passing parameters incorrectly to my WS (not passing at all!)
I've created very simplyfied version just to check parameters:
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Messaging;
using System.Text;
using System;
using System.Web.Services;
[WebService(Namespace = "http://company.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class GetRemoteData : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public XmlElement GetData(string CompanyName, string FunctionName, string ParameterList)
{
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement xmlElement1;
xmlElement1 = xmlDocument.CreateElement("parameters", "values", "urn:errors");
xmlElement1.InnerText = String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}", CompanyName, FunctionName, ParameterList);
return xmlElement1;
}
}
In the browser WS returns all passed parameters back correctly. VS - not.
What's wrong with my code? Why MSDN example works fine?
Do I need to specify some undocumented (soap specific) attributes?
Where I can find full tutorials how to create RS-compatible web-service?
(Sorry for cross-posting but I have no single reply...)
I am new to both Reporting Services and Webservices implementation so I am just trying to use a simple example. I found a Webservice on the internet that returns movie information:
http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx?wsdl
I am trying to call in using XML DataSource and with absolutely no luck. Here are the steps I have followed:
DataSource type: XML
Connection String: http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx
Report Data Quert:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://www.ignyte.com/GetUpcomingMovies</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://www.ignyte.com/whatsshowing" Name="GetUpcomingMovies">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="month">
<DefaultValue>12</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="year">
<DefaultValue>2007</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath>RunQueryResponse{}/RunQueryResult{}/diffgram{}/DataSetName/TableName</xmldp:ElementPath>
</Query>
I am getting an error: The XmlDP query is invalid. (Microsoft Report Designer)
Any help? I am trying to figure out this simple example so I can apply it to my own webservice.
Thanks
Hi,
I have a little question. I have an application which interfaces with a SQL Express Database. On a form, I want to bind a control which is made of several Radio buttons to a table column which is in fact a varchar(1). This is the picture:
Table column: OptVisualRpt varchar(1)
Screen control: 2 radio buttons
rb_VisRPTbImp_O for "yes"
rb_VisRPTbImp_N for "no"
I'm really scratching my head as how I can bind a single table column to my radio buttons controls. I think that I just can't this way but rather have to use an intermediate variable or control.
Solution 1?
I thought of using a local variable that I would set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons but I don't know how to bind this variable to my table column.
Solution 2?
I thought of placing a hidden text control into my form, which one would be binded to my table column, that I would also set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons.
Any of these solutions which would be feasible or any more neat way to do it?
Many thanks in advance,
Stéphane
Please tell me why to use a webservice? Which factor outperform webservice?
hi
after connecting webservice with my vs.net2005 using sqldatasource in webservice for getting data's ,i faced following errors:-

I created a custom DTS object that does its work by calling awebservice. When you create the object in DTS, it lets you set theuser/pw you want to use to authenticate to the webservice. The problemI am having is that once I authenticate to the webservice within DTS,it always uses the same authentication when contacting the service.So, for example, I drop a new instance of my object into a package. Itconnects to the webservice as me. I set up the parameters of the task,including telling it to connect as User="test". If I run it, my codesets the credentials correctly on the webservice, but the webservicestill gets called as me.If I exit out of SQL Server and go back in, and run it, it correctlyconnects as User="test". But then if I try to edit the task, and givemy own user and password, it still always tries to connect as "test".It seems whoever I initially connect to the webservice as, that is theinformation that DTS will use for the entire session.Is there any way to do what I want to do?thanks

I have done alot of testing and am pretty familiar with how CLR works and how to create assemblies in SQL. My problem is that I don't know much about .net and am not sure what kind of project I need to create in Visual Studios to accomplish calling the webservice.

Hi
I need to populate a table B by selecting a from table A but for every single record selected from Table A for some of the feilds i need to pass it to a WCF webservice and do some tasks.
Can somebody show me an example of this i am completely clueless on how to invoke a WCF webservice for every single row fetched from a database.
A step by step example would be of great help.
regards
Hrishy
After creating a WebService using SQL Server 2005 HTTP Endpoints I can only browse to the wsdl file using localhost address and not via the machine name
For example http://MACHINENAME/SomeWebService?wsdl will ask for some authentication that can never be determined while
http://localhost/SomeWebService?wsdl will successfully generate the WSDL file
This happens on the actual machine and on all other machines in the domain which pretty much defeats the purpose of using Web Services to expose functionality.
Does anyone have any idea regarding
(a) what security features are at work here,
(b) Where are they documented
(c) How to set or use them in such a manner as to actually be able to use web services.
While investigating I have noticed that all examples conveniently use localhost and so either avoid or never address this issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I have noticed what seems to be a bug in Reports using an XML Webservice for a datasource.
I have the data source setup and working to query an XML webservice. All fields aren't always populated - so after the intial step that automatically builds your dataset and sets up the field names - I went in and manually added the remaining missing fields (which were blank).
Then I setup the report - dragging/dropping fields from the dataset.
I thought everything was working fine, UNTIL i noticed that IF the FIRST record contains ANY blank fields - ALL of those fields (on every record returned) show blank on the report.
For example my webservice might return something like this:
Code Snippet
<Root>
<Parent>
<Child_Name>Joe</Child_Name>
<Child_ID></Child_ID>
</Parent>
<Parent>
<Child_Name>Tim</Child_Name>
<Child_ID>123456</Child_ID>
</Parent>
</Root>
But when my report actually runs, it doesn't show any value for the second record:
My Report
Child_Name Child_ID
Joe
Tim
In this case, Tim should actually show the Child_ID value, but apparently because the first record didn't have a value - the report assumes NO RECORDS will have a value and doesn't bother printing them.
But if I run the report so that the first record DOES contain that field - then everything seems fine.
I can see that my Dataset hasn't changed - as it still contains all the fieldnames (even the ones that sometimes return empty).
Am I doing something wrong?
hi guys! help please..how will bind my texbox (TxtLastName) to my dataset (dsLastName) column (User_LastName). Thanks in avdance!

I just try to implement the 3 tire architacture. So, I developed the one web project for web ui and one web service and one dall project in one solution.
On dll project put the bll, connect to sql server and return the result set to web service.
Form web service, get the result from dll and transfer to web ui.
When I call class from dll, i just overrid the connection string.
Actually it's wrok properly in my development pc and in my local webserver.
As our usual, when i publish to real web server i got the following error.
Server was unable to process request. ---> An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Anybody plz help and direct how should i fixed this problem.
Thanks.

HI
I want to use ReportViewer Control to show the data.
Can I render report using Sql Server 2005 Reporting web service call. I didn't get any sample which allow me to host report on reporting server but view them using ReportViewer Control using webservice call rather than using URL.
I need to hide Reporting server URL location. And If you show report using ReportViewer Control using URL mechanism, anybody can see the report server url.
Hi,
I have written a SQL CLR procedure, which will be invoking the webservice..I developed the application locally and it works fine, I am able to invoke the webservice using the SQL CLR procedure present in my database. But when i hosted the webservice in App server and executed the SQL CLR procedure in DB Server.
From DB Server, I am not able to invoke the webservice present in the app server. But i am able to browse the webservice from my db server.
I am getting the foolowing error message
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'usp_LoadView':
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

I goggled and tried out various options, like increasing €śwebservice timeout€? and increasing €śexecutiontimeout€? for HttpRuntime, but none seems to be working. Please provide me your suggestions to how to fix this..
We have a package that runs a webservice. The webservice connects to exchange for multiple mail accounts so it sometimes takes awhile to run.
If run from SQL Server Management Studio, it usually completes, but may occassionally time out.
If run from a job (i.e. we want this scheduled) then it NEVER completes successfully - althought there is very little information about what the error was. It seems to fail too quickly to be a time out error...
Any idea why this is happening? Or how to prevent it from timing out? Is there a way to initiate the webservice asynchronously from SSIS?

We have a large number of applications that use various sql databases. They need to validate and do lookups of information such as employees and addresses. Currently, we load data from oracle into our main sql server and push the data out to various servers. This could perhaps be simplified with replication, but is now done with some dts packages.
We are wondering if there could be a better way to do this. We would like to go directly against oracle for the address data and to sql for the employee info.
An idea I had was to have our programmers create a web service that could be called from our .net applications. That works fine for in house applications, but some vendor applications need to see a table or view. We can write a CLR proc that can connect to the web service and provide data in table format I believe.
How could we get this into a view? I've tried creating a function that calls the proc and returns the table-valued variable to the view, but it seems the functions doesn't like using 'exec myProc' in the select_statement parameter.
I suppose we could have them make an additional connection to the lookup information, stored on a central database...they are probably doing this anyway to get to the validation db on the same server.
Hello!
From an stored proc I want to call an existing web-service.
How to do that??
Must it be done using CLR-procs or is there some way in TSQL?
Greetings

Hi all
I have a form view which uses a SQL data source control to retrieve it's data from the sql express database
the form view is used for view,edit,delete and insert data into the database
in the insert mode I have two dropdownlists, where the second one is depending on the first one to retrieve the correct data from the data base BUT
when selecting a value in the first dropdownlist it give me the following erro:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.
Please How can do this
any help is appriciated

Hey guys, Am in need of help please, basically the program im working with at the moment is when you add a New Contract, it will grab the Contract Number you have entered, Post it over to another page, then using that number bind a Gridview. The SQL being "SELECT Contract_ID, Contract_Number, Start_Date, End_Date, Quarterly_Rent FROM ECS_Contracts_Test WHERE Contract_Number = " & conNoVar (this being the Contract Number of the recently added Contract), however then it comes to Bind the Grid it kicks up an System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value
'2009P7899' to a column of data type int.But the Column Contract_Number is set to Varchar and all I really want to do is to create this gridview using this criteria and not convert anything! The Contract_ID is an int, which is needed as I increment it. Heres the error code: Public Sub BindtheGrid()'Bind the Contract Grid, where ContractID is used
Dim SQL As String = "Contract_ID, Contract_Number, Start_Date, End_Date, Quarterly_Rent"
Dim objConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim cmdstock As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT " & SQL & " FROM ECS_Contracts_Test WHERE Contract_Number = " & contractQueryID, objConn)
cmdstock.CommandType = CommandType.Text
objConn.Open()
GridView1.DataSource = cmdstock.ExecuteReader()
GridView1.DataBind()
objConn.Close()
End Sub If you need any more information then please let me know. Mucho Aprreciated

I have writen SELECT WHERE statement that (a%) which works fine at pulling what I want to the gridview
and displays it fine.
Does the gridview conect to the source..... and the drop dlbox connect to the grid
Or each have its own conection to the source........or drop conects to source and grid
conects to
