Hi everyone,
I am testing reporting services custom assembly feature, but have problems.
I have referenced my dll, put my class name and instantiated it...
when i try and use a method within my instantiated class, it says "file or assembly name was not found".
Any ideas?
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
For custom authorization, I am overwriting the CheckAccess method.
But how do I know what I am trying to access in CheckAccess method? I need to know what report the check access method is trying to execute for our requirements.
How do I get that?
I need to implement custom security in reporting services. I have followed the standard example here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160724.aspx
I got authentication to work without too many problems, and it authenticates by querying my custom table. I want to also maintain my authorizations in the same manner. I want to be able to define in my own tables that user test1 has permission to view reports 1, 3, 5, and 8. User test2 can view reports 1,3,5,8, and 9. User test3 can view 1, 2, and 4. Etc.
The authorization extension, contained in my version of Authorization.cs is where I expected to be able to do this. I wanted to be able to write code that queries my own tables and says, "does this user have permission to view this item?" Getting the this user portion is easy as is obvious in the many checkAccess methods. But being able to tell what item I am currently dealing with has proved impossible from the context of Authorization.cs, which implements IAuthorizationExtension. Knowing what type of item I am dealing with is obvious, but I need to know something that uniquely identifies the exact item I am dealing with.
How can I determine in checkAccess or any of the other available methods what "thing" they are looking at? What can I examine to determine that for instance this particular authorization request is against "Report 1"? It seems that if I was allowed to completely override Authentication to use my tables, I should be able to override Authorization to do the same. Is this possible or am I missing something?
Can anyone help? Thanks.
Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?

My requirement for the parameter is multivalue parameter with a text box. for example when user enters aa15 it need to include product aa15. when the user enters aa15, aa16, zz15 than it needs to include all the three products. the last case is when the user enters AA** than i need to inclued all the products start with AA. when i use default multivalue parameter with data source analytical services than i am getting a drop down box. I dont want that. I need a text box where user can enter the value.
1. In sql we have a like key word to query . for example select * from product where product like "AA%".
what is equavalent mdx query to get such results ?
2.How to impliment the multivalue parameters without using dropdown box?
Can we call custom code in parent report, which written in the subreport.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need some help regarding Custom Colors implementation for Charts in the Reporting Services.
What we are trying to do is to make every color for every Series(see example below) to be a customized Corporate color.
For example each of the series on the Chart should be in specific Custom Color:
Series 1 - "LightBlue"
Series 2 - "LightYellow"
Series 3 - "DarkBrown"
All I found from MSDN is how to do it in the Chart Properties in a Code section (right click on the report outside the chart -> Properties -> Code tab -> paste the Custom Code ).
And then to use it in the Chart color definition as:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Series# )
But we are trying to do it in a separate C# class that would be updated only in one place, instead of changing 30 reports each time something is changed. So that it could be generic.
The C# class:
Code Snippet
namespace CustomColorPalette
{
public class CustomPalette
{
public CustomPalette()
{
}
public static string GetColor(string GroupingValue)
{
int groupingValue = int.Parse(GroupingValue);
string[] colorPalette = {"Green", "Blue", "Red"};
if (groupingValue < colorPalette.Length)
{
return colorPalette.GetValue(groupingValue).ToString();
}
else
{
return "Black"; // if # of Series is more than defined - all undefined will be = Black color
}
}
}
}
I tried 2 different ways:
1.
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Public Function GetColor(SeriesNumber as String)
Return CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette.GetColor(SeriesNumber)
End Function
And in the Chart Custom Color settings I put:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I get an error:
Error 303 [rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 2 of custom code: [BC30451] Name 'CustomColorPalette' is not declared. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
2.
Second way I tried:
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Dim X As CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
X = new CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette()
End Sub
And in the Chart Custom Color I put:
Code Snippet=Code.X.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I am getting an error like this:
Error 302 [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the chart €˜chart2€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'X' is not a member of 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy'. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
Is there any workaround? Or all I can do is to make the Custom Colors manually in each report, and if something need to be changed - I will need to change it in each report separately
Thanks,
Alex

Hi all,
We are displaying an SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report in our ASP.NET 1.1 application by accessing the report through URL and embedding the same in an iframe HTML web control. The user can export the report contents into CSV format by making use of the export functionality provided by Reporting Services.
Now we have been asked to display a warning mesage to the user when the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million i.e. if the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million and the user tries to export the report to CSV format by clicking on the "Exprot" link button, we need to display a warning message to the user.
My doubt is whether this can be done in Reporting Services. Are there any programmatic interfaces exposed by Reporting Services which might help us implement this requirement ?
Thanks,
CodeKracker.
I was trying to write a custom legend text for a chart that I have in SSRS. In the chart I have a Bar chart and a Line chart. I have two values coming from a dataset. One is a running value. All the series values are from year dataset.
I need to get a custom legend text for the three data series looking like this. "2013- Mth", "2014-Mth". Year should be dynamic and coming from the dataset.
I tried writing an expression in the series legend option as shown below.
But I don't get the required text for the chart. I only get the default series text for the legend. If I only write a text without the dynamic year taken from the dataset columns I get the custom text. But not when I concatenate the dynamic year series with the static text. Any property to enable/disable?
Is it possible to do custom sort for a Column Group?
i.e. if the columns are coming out as A Â B Â C, is it possible to change it B Â C Â A Â (or anything else).Â

Below is code I am using to create a heatmap in SSRS. THe code seems to be working well except for one glitch. Sometimes numbers in the "middle of the pack" are white. Obviously they should be one the of colors listed below. Why numbers would be white when I declared only white for IsNothing.Â
 Public Function GetHeatmapColor(ByVal textBoxValue, ByVal minDataSetValue, ByVal maxDataSetValue) As String
    Dim colours As String() = New String() {"White","DarkGreen","Green","ForestGreen","LimeGreen","YellowGreen","Yellow","Gold","Orange","DarkOrange","OrangeRed","Red"}
        If IsNothing(textBoxValue) = True Then
      Return colours(0)

I am not sure if this is possible or not, we have two datasets and each one has an additional calculated field which breaks the value JobBilledExVAT into three years.
So it reports for example how much we billed in May 2015, 2014 and 2013.
I have got the table to display this when reporting on one dataset by grouping by year
The datasets both look similar to thisÂ
SELECT
 Practice.ibvSalesByJob.JobBilledExVAT
 ,Practice.ibvSalesByJob.[Year]
FROM
 Practice.ibvSalesByJob
 INNER JOIN Practice.idvJobType
[Code] ...
The calculated field isÂ
=Switch(Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Year.Value ,"15", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre1Year.Value ,"14", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre2Year.Value ,"13")
The field I am looking to add together is below
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value)
If I do the below on the dataset associated with the matrix it displays the sum for each year correctly, I would however like to add the Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) from a different dataset (ABS1M) for the relevant year.
I tried this
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) + Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ABS1M")
However this adds 2015, 14 and 13 from ABS1M and doesn't add them individually if that makes sense? With the calculated field it only shows Year under the main dataset heading not 15, 14 and 13 separately.
I was think of using LOOKUP however I don't know how this would work as 15, 14 and 13 are not displayed under the dataset.
Is Custom code of Sql Reporting services will only support VB Coding? Can't we use Java Script coding into the custom code of SQL Reporting services?
I've made a Report porting from SS2008 to SS2008.
In a textbox I use a:
Number -> Custom Format
like these:
=Code.FormatString(Fields!NumDecRpt.Value)
but gives me the "Unrecognized identifier" red squiggle.
My FormatString function (in the rdl file) is this:
Public Shared Function FormatString(ByVal Decimals as object) As String
 dim format = "N0"
 if not (Decimals is nothing or Decimals is System.DBNull.Value) then
   dim decs as integer
   decs = Convert.ToInt32(Decimals)
   if decs>0 then
     format = "N"+decs.ToString()
   end if
 end if
 return format
End Function
What's wrong with this?
This is a subject that has been brought up before but I have not seen a definitive answer/solution.
We have implemented a custom authentication extension (forms authentication) for reporting services and it has been working just fine under "normal" conditions; "normal" being users logging in, viewing reports, and then moving on.
Recently some reports were created by our report group and they contain Dundas gauge controls for "dashboard" style reports. These reports are meant to be up all day and they post back every few seconds because the data they present is mission critical.
This of course exposed the inability of the reportviewer control to stay in the context of Report Manager when it comes to the cookie exchange and authentication thus resulting in the following error:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object
moved to <a
href="/ReportServer/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2freportserver%2fReportExecution2005.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
I created a quick ASP.NET web application and added the reportviewer to it, implemented IReportServerCredentials and the report came up as expected but behaved the same way as it did in Report Manager. Same with a Windows Forms application.
Increasing the cookie timeout in the forms authentication tag is an option, but not an attractive one. Extending the reportviewer control is also an option, but I don't know if that is a good candidate right now because I don't see anything extensible yet.
Is this just the nature of RS with custom authentication or is there a viable solution out there right now?
Any and all answers are much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

Hi guys & gals
I'm just setting up Reporting Services for our company and it's a great product, no doubt about it. However, I've come across a problem I can't solve and I wonder if any of you can help.
I've produced a sales report and I want my users to be able to enter a list of sales periods to include on the report. For example, the user might want to view the report for periods 10,11,13,14 and 17 and exclude periods 12,15 and 16. Obviously, the underlying query will probably involve an IN() clause but I'm struggling to think of a way that the user might be able to enter these parameters.
The most obvious way might be by typing in a comma separated string, but I don't know how to then put those values into the query.
Anyone got any ideas?
