Hi
I have Reporting Services hosted on a server which has Workgroup edition of SQL Server which does not support csv export. I would like to write a csv Renderer.
I am not sure how complex this task is likely to be.
Are there any White Papers or samples that would assist ?
Any advice to point me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and RS (all with SP2). I can run reports fine for HTML, PDF, and Excel, but whenever I specify a format with "CSV" or "XML", I get the following error:
An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report serverAn attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server
I'd really like these report formats to work. I haven't modified any system configuration files.
Has anyone else seen this error?
Thanks,
Michael

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??

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'm using visual studio 2005 with .NET 2.0 SP1.
Under a report server project, I created a table and used it to display a dataset drawn from a database (SQL Server 2005). And I set the "NoRows" property of this table to something like: "= "Customer: " & Parameters!CustomerID.Value & " does not exist in database.". I deployed the report on a report server, run it and exported to Excel. If there were no data returned, the Excel will display the non-exist message as designed. But if I export the same report again without re-run the report, the message will disappear. Looks like a bug?
All- I'm using the SQL SP below to drive an asp.net gridview. Note how, after "else", I attempt to send to the browser the HTML code that should create a hard space. However, the characters are simply rendered verbatim by the browser. I've tried putting actual spaces in the quotes, and also the SPACE(x) argument. SP test executes appear to show the spaces in the results, but aps.net isn't rendering the spaces at all. Any thoughts.
(Its really more of an asp.net question, but I thought I'd post this here too for your thoughts. Thx in advance.)

Hi,
Can someone please help me figure out how to render a report so it can be viewed on a blackberry? I have tried different rendering formats but they didn't work. I am able to view the report when I render as "Web Archive" but in this case all the formatting is messed up.
Please help me out with this. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

my report generates most than a page, i want sent the parameters and render only the fist page , the if i need the other when the number page chage the control render the nex page, how i can do it, this because in this moment the control render all the report and the show it , and sometimes i have to wait to long time to see it
someone can help me?
I have a requirement that I'm having a difficult time figuring out.
I have a number of subreports, 27 of them, and I need to put them all on a single report, and have each one render on a separate page. Each of them I can be sure is a single page - how do I force a page break after each subreport?
I've been trying a number of strategies, tables, lists, rectangles, etc, with no luck...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi,
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.
Thanks in advance

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?
Thanks for any info
Is there a way to return just the raw data from a report? I do not mean XML rending which marries the dataset information with the layout information. I just want the raw data from the dataset. If the XML returned was the result of the recordset from the de-parameteraized query only that would be great!
I am looking into writing a Custom Rendering Extension, but I am not fining much outside of the same MS example circulating. It seems to only deal with layout data and not the raw dataset data.
Is there way to get to just the raw data and ignore layout? Is the dataset in the SSRS Temp Dd that you can query after a report has run? If anyone knows of any way to get to the raw data that would be fantastic.
Thanks!
Okay, in doing some research about executing a report using code, I found the ReportExecutionService.Render and .LoadReport methods.
If I use this, is the report stored as a snapshot in history on the Report Server or how is the report rendered?
Forgive my ignorance in this and I thank you for your information.
Hi everyone,
For a project I'm working on right now we issue a bunch of 2-4 page PDF reports (a main page and a subreport) for every entity within a retail hierarchy. Our client would like to have some of those reports rolled up into a single file so that starting in the second level of the hierarchy there is one file for each member and all its ascendants/descendants. In order to do this, I'm putting the existing report into a list on a new template (as a subreport) and creating a dataset for the list to pass the parameters into the subreport. I initially had to do this for 1000+ stores and realized that it was going to take a LONG time (the main page report can take as long as a minute to run as it's kicking off stored procs that retrieve a ton of data from a cube), so I stopped it and restricted my list's dataset to 3 rows to create a 3-report rollup for testing. When I previewed the report, it showed up after a minute or so and it looked fine - everything was where I expected it to be, pages were breaking properly, etc. However, when I tried to export that into PDF it hung forever. I cut the dataset back to 2 records and had the same problem, so then I cut it back to 1 record and it exported just as quickly as it always does. Does anyone have any information on why this is happening and what I can do to get around it? It's going to be a pretty critical component of this project for us.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
hi
I am using SSRS for Reports. Every thing working fine, but i have one problem when my rport get the 2000 record (each record showing on single page in my senario) then ReportExecutionService.Render method did not return array of byte[].
Can u help me as soon as possible.
thanks in advance

I want to bring up a report via a URL and pass parameters to initialize the report parameters in the report. But I do not want the report to execute, to give the user the opportunity to change the passed report parameters. How do I turn off the &rs:Command=Render option since it is also the default?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that I'm hosting on SSRS. I have it setup for localization so if someone hits the report directly and their default language setting in their browser is ja-JP the report will display in Japanese. I am using the User!Language variable for this.
I am primarily displaying this report through an ASP.NET app however and am calling the Render method on the ReportingService service, then displaying the returned HTML in a literal control. This works great except, obviously, with this proxy type of set up the user's browser settings get lost in the shuffle. I can retrieve the browser settings easily enough in my ASP.NET application but how do I pass those settings along to SSRS? I have tried setting the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture on the thread executing the request but it still comes back in English. I have also tried setting the Language property (as shown below) but it seems as though that would change the Language on the report for everyone, not just my session.
Property[] props = new Property[1];
props[0] = new Property();
props[0].Name = "Language";
props[0].Value = "ja-JP";
report.SetProperties(reportPath, props);
Can someone help?
Thanks
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
Query conditions
WHERE Report = 'BudgetVarianceSummary'
AND PeriodEnd = CONVERT(DateTime,CONVERT(char,GETDATE()- DATEPART(day,GETDATE()),112))
AND Report = @Report
AND Corp = @Corp
AND Dept = @Dept
VB Code snippet:
Dim reportPath As String = "/FinancialReports/BudgetVarianceSummary"
Dim format As String = "PDF"
' Prepare report parameter.
Dim parameters(3) As ParameterValue
parameters(0) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(0).Name = "Report"
parameters(0).Value = "BudgetVarianceSummary"
parameters(1) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(1).Name = "Corp"
parameters(1).Value = "10"
parameters(2) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(2).Name = "Dept"
parameters(2).Value = "7255"
Dim execInfo As New ExecutionInfo
Dim execHeader As New ExecutionHeader()
Dim SessionId As String
Dim extension As String = ""
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader
execInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPath, historyID)
'This line of code fails
'rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us")
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, extension, encoding, mimeType, warnings, streamIDs)
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?
Thank you in advance.
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();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Byte[] result;
string encoding;
string mimetype;
//ParameterCollection[] parametersUsed = null;
ParameterValue[] parametersUsed = null;
Warning[] warnings = null;
string[] streamids;
result = rs.Render("/production/Sudhir", "PDF", null, null, null, null, null, out encoding, out mimetype, out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamids);
//System.Web.Services.h Response.ClearContent();
Response.AppendHeader("content-length", result.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(result);
Response.Flush();
Response.Close();
Hi All,
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.
Kinda Like:
-------------------------
-Department 1
Ext 2005
Ext 2008
+Department 2
-------------------------
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.
Has anyone else run into this?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
We are having an issue with reporting services when it is viewed in IE.
We can design the report in visual studio and it looks fine, however when we upload the report to reporting services it displays the report incorrectly (shown below)http://static.flickr.com/103/298669551_7395fc946d.jpg
When it is print previewed it looks like this (which is the correct layout)http://static.flickr.com/104/298669558_cfd56ffd0e.jpg

Hi all,
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.
Hi,
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.
How to render it as html output?
thanks.
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?
Thanks!
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render our reports to Microsoft Word format. We€™ve searched around and haven€™t really found any useful information on how to do this.
Is Microsoft planning on releasing a Word rendering extension? If so, when?
Has anyone written a custom rendering extension for Word? Or, does anyone know how to write a custom rendering extension for Word?
We need either a Microsoft solution that€™s already built-in to Reporting Services or a solid, free solution. We are not in the market of buying a third-party product like OfficeWriter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi,
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..
Thanks,
We have built an analytics solution in Analysis Services with the following setup:
1) FactTable = Customer transactions
2) DimCustomerClassificationTable = For a customer over a trailing twelve month period, we have pre-calculated a series of segmentations such as their revenue segment at a Worldwide Level, Region Level, SubRegion Level, or Country Level, their product classification (e.g., what are they mainly buying) at a Worldwide Level, Region Level, SubRegion Level, or Country Level etc. For each combination of a customer and country over a trailing twelve month period, we have one dimension table record that has their segmentation classifications at each geography level.
3) DimTime = Allows a user to select a trailing twelve month time period
4) DimSalesLocation = the hierarchy of sales organization locations (Worldwide, Region, SubRegion, Country) credited with the sale to the customer
Ideally, we would like to create calculated members on the DimCustomerClassification dimension that would assume the value of the correct segmentation field based on a user's selection (e.g., if they has selected a country, we would have one calculated member called Revenue Segment that assumes the value of Revenue Segment Country, if they selected a SubRegion, it would assume the value of Revenue Segment SubRegion, etc.), but we are not sure if this is possible.
If this isn't possible, what would be the best approach to address this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
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...
Please provide some help.
Kind Regards

Hi,
I'm using an URL to render a pdf.
- URL: //reportserver/...&Filename&...&Format=PDF (with this URL, it renders the pdf just fine)
However, if I want to pass some parameters to define the page layout, it seems this has no effect on the pdf.
--> URL: //reportserver/...&Filename&...&Format=PDF&rs: Command=Render&rc: StartPage=0&rc: PageWidth=16,54in&rc: PageHeight=11,7in
(I've added some spacing between ": P", ": C" and ": S"; otherwise it displays an emoticon)
Is there anyone who can see what the problem seems to be?
Hope to get an answer soon.
Thanks in advance...
