I am using VB.net to get the Image and sql2005. Any solution for this....
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 creating an RDLC report. but it is rendering very slow. I have very small amount of data and still it takes a long time in rendering. I thought it might be due to amount of SQL data so i cut data to 5 rows and 5 columns only. still it renders very slowly.I am using Visual Studio 2012 and SQL server 2012 for deployments. Also i have a good hard ware configuration and still it takes upto 5 minutes in loading a report.
I am converting a crystal report cross-tab, in to a reporting services matrix. The cross-tab uses a GridRowColumnValue function to hide/show the data & total fields. Is there an equivalent in reporting service or a workaround method for this?
this idea goes with my post on licensing reports. Is it possible to deploy an encrypted rdlc file and have custom SSRS pages that will decrypt it, run it, manage it, etc? We were thinking what is the point of custom SSRS pages for licensing if the rdlc is just a plain xml file any one can see, change, copy, etc.
I want to convert .rdl to .rdc need full steps.Actually i created .rdl report using sp sucessfully.Now i want to convert it to rdlc while doing it iam getting some authentication error and some thing else.I created rdl in 2008 and i want to change it to rdlc 2010.
Hi.I need to give my customer an sql file that they can run in query analyzer.All the stuff they need to run is in a set of existing files.I'd like to just tell them to load this file (this is oracle syntax):@file1.sql@file2.sql@file3.sqlis there some way of calling these files (that are in the same dir) from amaster sql file?ThanksJeff Kish
can any one tell me how to send the reports as an exe file. Is there any possibility in ssrs. I have to send all my reports to my client along with the .net application. can any one help me out in this. Thanks in advance
I have 2 reports. It has different header, detail and footer respectively. I want to do one thing now. When I click the hyperlink in browser, it can download a PDF file that is merge 2 reports into one. Anyone has solution? (I think use the subreport is not a good idea because subreport must has the same header and footer.)
Since i have 5 different projects all has the same kind of reports., but calling via 5 different sites all sites on same webserver.
The problem i have is the .rds file name is same in all 5 report projects and it is a shared datasource., now when i compile the report project it will not load or overwrite the .rds file since the name is same, for that reason i tried to have the .rds file in reports folder as a datasource not a shared datasource. but i tried to add it, after i create the datasource, it is automatically going into the shared datasource folder, how can i create a datasource not shared under reports folder.
Thank you very much for all your help and information.
Hi, I'm a first time user at reporting services and in dire need of some help, I'm having a real hard time finding the information I need.
I have made two reports in Business Intelligence Development Studio that access a sql database and I can deploy them and see them at http://localhost/reports etc.
What I wan't to do is be able to "trigger" the reports to be built from a schedule (e.g. every 8 hour on weekdays, every 12 hours on weekends but should be able to be changed) and after built to be saved to a html file.
I also need to set the sql query for the dataset before generating the report (select * from table where DateTimeType between This and That).
Anyway, I'm completely lost on how to achive this and would greatly appreciate and tips or pointers to where the information can be found.
Hi,We have XML files (and its XSD) that are dump of our tree-like datastructure in memory. These XML files may potentially have unlimitedlevels of nesting because some elements can contain themselves(recursively defined).We want to build some reports using some third party reporting tool(Crystal Report, for example).The first question is - is there any way for Crystal Reports toprocess such complicated (some elements have recursive definitions)XML file directly? If not, anyone knows any other reporting tool thatcan do that job?The second question is - if we have to develop a small applicationthat converts the XML to dataset, anyone who has done similar thingbefore can give us some recommendations as to which approach is theeasiest to take (Java, .NET, etc.)? I'd appreciate it if someone canpoint me to some resources to get me started.Another approach is to convert the hierarchical XML into relationaltable set and store the data into relational database. In that case,the reporting tool can simply read from the database. I'd appreciateit if someone can let me know if there is any softeware/program thatcan do the conversion. (I heard that some database server can do theconversion from XML to relational tables, but didn't find anythingconcrete.)Any comment/recommendation is appreciated!Thank you for your help in advance!!
I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?
If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold? Thanks.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render multiple reports into one output file. So, for example, say we have four reports and when the user asks for the reports to be generated, we would like to have all four reports come out in one PDF (or Excel or HTML) file instead of four separate files. I hope this makes sense.
Is there any way to render multiple reports to one output file?
Hello, I need to be able to view and save reports using Report Manager. However, I do not want some users the ability to upload files (need to prevent virus or bad files). It appears I need to select manage reports from the role definition in order for a user to save reports. but then i get the upload file link as well. Is there a way to manage reports but prevent upload file link?
I would like to know if there is a way to maintain the history of changes to the reports that have been published to the report server?
I know that the report definitions get saved onto ReportServer database. But let's say a user makes a change to the published report and then saves it back to the server. And that the latest change was incorrect and I have to revert back to the previous version of the published report. Is there a way to do that? Does the report server maintain a history of previous versions.
There is a history for each report and I think that corresponds to the history of report executions (output data). But I am talking about the history of actual report definition.
I would like to use SQL client-side reporting in ASP.NET. However, our customer would like to edit the report sometimes, is there any existing graphical editor to edit .rdlc file? Thanks.
I have searched the archive of this forum, and based on some previous answers have read the followin FAQ

However, even so, I still have a questoin about when to use RDLC vs RDL from the point of view of licensing and load sharing betwee DB and report server.
1. As we all know that SSRS will take a license of SQL Server if the web service is deployed on any other machine other than SQL Server (which is normally the case because no serious DBA will allow IIS apps to be installed on the DB Server). Also, if the SSRS is deployed on NLB cluster then each node of the cluster would need a "SQL Enterprise" license. (which can be very expensive).
2. Co deploying the SSRS with SQL Server is a bad idea because it puts excessive load on the DB+Report Server.
3. Since there is no "load balancing" in SQL all the rendering has to be done by the SSRS service which is running on the DB Server.
Now compare this to RDLC
1. RDLC gives me the same engine as RDL
2. However it has no licensing tags to it.
3. I can deploy ASP.NET report viewer on my web farm and scale it out as much as I like.
4. Extract data from the DB using stored procedures.
So it seems that RDLC solution is cheaper, gives better scale out capabilities and also moves the rendering of reports on the web farm rather than the Report Server.
Why should me or anyone else choose RDL at all?
There seems to be one disadvantage that the data has to fetched programmatically and manually binded (like an ASP.NET app) as RDLC does not provide any feature to connect to data sources. But this is not much when you see the cost and scalability benefits.
Hello everyone, thanks in advance for reading. I'm new to reports and have tried searching for my answer with no luck. Any direction would be great.
Here is the issue, I have 3 colums in the dataset which display String data ("High", "Medium", or "Low")
I've added a column to the table on the report where I would like to convert the value of "High", "Medium" and "Low" to 3,2,1 respectively then SUM these numbers.
Is this possible? I've tried several variations of the code below--maybe it's not possible to do what I want? Thanks again for your time and help.
Fields!PP.Value is set to: =Switch(Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "High", 3, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Medium", 2, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Low", 1)
I am trying to convert, (as the title suggests), an already created .rdl file to a .rdlc file. I have googled it and yes came across the most informative "step-by-step", however even after renaming to .rdlc and opening the file in SQL Server 2005 BI the file is still not being deserialized using the reportdefinition from 2005.
Can somebody please help with this and provide me with something a little clearer than "...you must convert the file.".
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....
We have developed client SQL Server Reporting Services reports (rdlc) that are completely dynamic.
Everything on the report itself is build from code.
There are a few problems in the formatting of these reports that we have not been able to correct.
1) Because of the way the data has to be displayed. we have had to use a List control with Textboxes and Lines within to give the appearance of a table.(Column headers are textboxes with background set to gray). Line controls exist between each column of data. We did this because we need to have nested lists in some cases to display the data.
The height of the listbox is adjusted to fit the contents within. The vertical lines between the columns appear broken with gaps between each item.
Is there any way to set the line height to automatically fit the height of the ListBox.
2) Another issue we have is with Texboxes. If there is no value in the Textbox, the borders do not show. CanShrink is set to false. Hidden is false. Is there any other setting or something else that could be causing this?
Using ASP.NET 2, C#, Web application, we have an rdlc report which will be primarily used to export to an Excel spreadsheet. When we run thw report, then export it, we wind up with a spreadsheet with no gridlines, eg a spreadsheet with invisible cell borders.
Is the a setting or property somewhere which can be changed so that the spreadsheet which opens after the export looks like a standard spreadsheet, that is, with visible cell borders?
Hello I am pretty new to reporting services. Now i have something like this. on the .cs file, i have a fullName lets say String fullName = "John Smith", Now I want to pass this string to the report's textBox and show this value on this textbox.
How can i do this? 1.How should i write in .cs file? 2. How should i set the expression for the textbox?
Thank you very much. It is very urgent! Please help!
We had come a long way in implementing reports using RDLC and now we are stuck with the requirement to display RTF text using RDLC.
Is there a way to display a RTF Text in RDLC in a purely managed code?
The links mentioned below provides a work around solution to this but a part of its implementation is in un-managed code. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=551939&SiteID=1
I have a very simple test report created in Visual Studio 2005 as an rdlc file in my dll. The rdlc file is in the dll because it is built off of the business objects. I need to be able to stream this file (i.e. not use a report viewer) to the browser.
I found code that I included below, but get an error:
The report definition for report 'Monkey.Report1' has not been specified
Yes my test namespace in my dll is named "Monkey" )
//Render the report renderedBytes = localReport.Render(reportType, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out fileNameExtension, out streams, out warnings);
//Clear the response stream and write the bytes to the outputstream Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = mimeType; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=foo." + fileNameExtension); Response.BinaryWrite(renderedBytes); Response.End(); }
I choose the MedcialCase.ID and MedcialCase.PatientOfMedcialCase.Name to show, but when the report was run ,,just MedcialCase.ID has been shown, the text of MedcialCase.PatientOfMedcialCase.Name is "=Fields!Name.Value"
I modify it to "=Fields!PatientOfMedcialCase.Value.Name.Value" and run it ,the "#Error" show in the text of Name
anyone can tell me why?and how to bind object like MedcialCase to the Report?
I cannot find anything that would suggest it is possible to use a cascading style sheet when formatting data elements within a local report (RDLC). We created an HTML report using CSS and now want to generate the same report using the Report Viewer control along with our defined styles.
I' m using Microsoft Reporting. Is there a way to create Report .rdlc file Dynamically on the fly? I' m using VB.net. Any help can be appreciated. Thanks Mythili
