Dynamically Load Images Into Page Headers.
Apr 2, 2007Since you cannot use dataset fields in page headers is there any other way to dynamically load and image?
View 1 RepliesSince you cannot use dataset fields in page headers is there any other way to dynamically load and image?
View 1 RepliesHi, this is probably a simple question but I just can't figure it out. I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 sp1.
I'm trying to design a report that displays a particular embedded image on the first page, and then a different one on every subsequent page. I.e full, fancy company logo on the first page, and a trimmed down version on every other. In Crystal, I would have simply used the Report Header and Page Header sections to achieve this - easy.
However, in SQL Reporting Services, there is only a Page Header section - therefore whatever I place in the Page Header shows on every page. Now, I know how to stop it displaying on the first page, but I don't know how to display the other image instead.
I read in a support forum that it is possible to do this by "placing report items above or below your data regions" but I can't get it to work.
Grateful for any assistance.

I have an image stored in a dataset that I would like to place in the page header and footer. Unfortunately dataset fields can not be placed in headers/footers.
Embedded pics in the project and/or report are NOT an option as the report must pull the image from the database. UNLESS there is a way to embed it FROM the dataset.
Normally I use =ReportItems!FieldName, but this doesn't seem to work when dealing with images.
I put the image in the header row the table holding the report information, but there are some pitfalls. Consider the following: put the Image in the top left cell of the header rows (A1) , put my Report Title in Cell (A2) and finally put =Now() in cell (B2).
When the report renders Cell (A1) has grown to accomodate the size of the image, Cell (A2) is fine, but cell (A3 - the date-) is pushed down...as expected (boooo!)
I used the following function =Fields!ReportTitle.Value & chr(10) & chr(13) & Fields!ReportDate.Value in (A2) a slick solution, but the padding is different and I need different font sizes and weights. (...almost)
I moved the image in (a1) and the rest of the fields following respecfully (B1, C1, D1...) but with parameters the header is now practically half the page (...ok so that was a bit of an stretch)
I tried the RepeatsWith property and couldn't get it to work???? Am I using it correctly? I have a table in the body of a report (table1). Above it, I place the image. In the image properties, I choose RepeatWith and select table1, I expect to see the image repeat on each page, but that is not the case. I'm probably missing a simple explanation.
I even tried to pass the image as a parameter. URRRNT! At least with my experience.
Have I exhausted all possibilities without extensive code?
All I'm trying to do is line up the Image with the report Title/date/parameter values in the HEADER making the report look pretty.
Thanks for the help...
SSRS 2005 User
Hello All,
I have designed some reports and kept these reports in the report server.
My question is: I want to change report header and footer values dynamically and save the new values in the report template, when the user enters new velues in ASP.NET GUI.
Next time if the user opens the same file the report should display the recent values.
Please help me in passing the parameters from ASP.NET app to SQL Reports and saving the parameters in the report template.
Thanks,
Rao.
Would it be possible to handle multiple file systems (e.g. xlsx, csv, mdb) with different /similar headers in single package without Script Component?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report looking something like this:
Field 1 Field 3 Field 5
RandomInfo1 RandomInfo1 RandomInfo1
RandomInfo2 RandomInfo2 RandomInfo2
Field 2 Field 4 Field 6
RandomInfo1 RandomInfo1 RandomInfo1
RandomInfo2 RandomInfo2 RandomInfo2
It extends along a fair number of pages, and I'm currently using the "# of columns = 3" in the Report properties --> Layout section in order to make it span over 3 columns instead of the usual 1. I'm using a table in which the random info fields are the repeating values, and the Field 1,2,3,4,etc are included in the list control, but not part of the physical table itself.
My question stems from a couple of chunks of data which basically extend over the course of 1.5 pages (yep. There's enough to fill about 4.5 columns worth.)
I currently have
Field 1 RandomInfo50 RandomInfo100
RandomInfo1 RandomInfo51 RandomInfo101
Randominfo2 RandomInfo52 RandomInfo102
etc.... etc.... etc....
-----NewPage----
RandomInfo150 Field 2
Randominfo151 NewRandomInfo1
RandomInfo152 NewRandomInfo2
etc...
What I'm looking to do is have "Field 1" appear at the top of each column whenever a larger chunk of data forces itself into multiple columns, or even multiple columns on multiple pages. I have this nasty feeling it's something silly and blatantly obvious I'm missing...
Any thoughts?
All I can find is Page Headers. Is there a report header like there is in Access?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I am creating a report in SSRS and the data is obtained through a stored procedure. One of the parameters is Begin_Date. This is simply a date field. I need to have it on the Page Header section. However, when I placed it there and ran the report, I received the following error -
Error2[rsFieldInPageSectionExpression] The Value expression for the textbox ‘begindate’ refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers.
Is there a way around? I have never faced such a problem when I created reports in Crystal or ActiveReports. Please let me know whether I am missing anything.
Thanks in advance,

Hi There
I have not had much luck finding info in BOL for tsql or SSIS that tells one how to load images on the file system into sql server 2005.
All i have really been able to find is that IMAGE data type will not be used in future and that one should use a varbinary(max) data type.
I am thinking of using a for each file loop in SSIS, but then how do i load the images (.tif) into a sql server database table ? Perhaps i need to use a sql task with the filepath , or an active x script.
Anyway if anyone knows how i can load images from the file system into sql server 2005, please let me know.
Thanx
If a single row of data spans a page then the column header is not repeated until the next row on the next page.
Is there a way to overcome this?
I need to load images from folders into a SQL Server table and I have done it successfully for individual images, however I need to load all the names of the folders and sub folders names in separate columns + load all images.
So the folders look like as in the screenshot and the final result of the table in SQL Server should look like the second screenshot.
hi everyone.
i want to build a page that all datas,images will store in sql server.
i want to display images,text from database in a page with a template (images left of the page,text near the image and like....,programatically)
there will be very much data . about 500-1000 pages data.
is this possible with sql server?
can SQL server store big datas?
if it is possible can you give me an idea.
Hi all,
I have a problem in displaying databound images in page header.
I have done as is stated in the below article.
----X----
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159677(en-us,VS.90).aspx
Adding a Databound Image to a Header or Footer
You can use image data stored in a database in a header or footer. However, you cannot reference database fields from the Image control directly. Instead, you must add a text box in the body of the report and then set the text box to the data field that contains the image (note that the value must be base64 encoded). You can hide the text box in the body of the report to avoid showing the base64 encoded image. Then, you can reference the value of the hidden text box from the Image control in the page header or footer.
For example, suppose you have a report that consists of product information pages. In the header of each page, you want to display a photograph of the product. To print a stored image in the report header, define a hidden text box named TXT_Photo in the body of the report that retrieves the image from the database and use an expression to give it a value:
=System.Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!Photo.Value)
In the header, add an Image control which uses the TXT_Photo text box, decoded to show the image:
=System.Convert.FromBase64String(ReportItems!TXT_Photo.Value)
----X----
but I am not getting the image.
The error message displayed is like this
[rsInvalidExpressionDataType] The Value expression used in image €˜image2€™ returned a data type that is not valid.
Can any one help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Any help anybody can provide on this would be fantastic.
In article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913668 it says to generate a serialization assembly and pop this into the database along side the assembly with the serialized type. All well and good, but how doe the XmlSerializer know to look in the database for the assembly - does it use the name of the assembly + XmlSerializer?
It is certainly ambiguous in the aforementioned kb article. In one place it generates an assembly in the database called
CREATE ASSEMBLY [MyTest.XmlSerializers] from
'C:CLRTestMyTestMyTestinDebugMyTest.XmlSerializers.dll'
WITH permission_set = SAFE
and in another it uses
USE dbTest
GO
CREATE ASSEMBLY [MyTest] from 'C:CLRTestMyTest.dll'
GO
CREATE ASSEMBLY [MyTest.XmlSerializers.dll] from 'C:CLRTestMyTest.XmlSerializers.dll'
GO
I can't get either to work, and I've tried various combinations, this and the fact that the kb artice uses two different naming conventions suggests to me that there must be "something else" which links the assembly with the serialization assembly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
how do you load the multiple flat files  to into destination dynamically?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have three tables in data base:
customer

And i want to use SSIS package dynamically load data from database into three separate flat file, each table into each file.
I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...

Hi all,
I have a webpage with a Datagrid that populates using a table adapter from a Stored procedure that exists in my SQL Database...If I run the Stored procedure in SQL Directly then it takes 20 Secs to return all records...If I run the webpage then it takes just over 20 Secs..
Great you say..But If I have the sorting option set in ASP.net and I click on a column to sort then off the page goes for another 20 secs to sort the data..
Is there a better way to do what I am doing here that will speed up the page load..
Ie..the data is returned once and then sorted...
Is it Better / Quicker for me to create a table using the stored procedure and link to this from the website..Updating the table every couple of minutes ?
Any advice please ?

Hi,
I'm still quite a beginner with the Report Designer and now I have faced a problem. My goal is to make a reports refresh each time it is loaded. I know that this can be done by using rs:clearsession = true-method but in order this to work, it should be added to each link. There are a lots of links in the reports we are using and therefore it would be more practical to find another way to refresh the report on page load. Is there any way to do this with some kind of code attached to each report? I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and my Reporting services 2000.
I am having a problem with MMSQL BLOB with VB, Sorry to say I am new in Programming using VB 6 and MSSQL and I have never touch BLOB in my live.

The URL address is for example http://backup/pics/19980.jpg

I just have done the SSIS example in the tutorial document included when install SQL 2005 ENT. I have a problem that whenever I test to run, the service load all data from source with out noticing about the data (I mean it load all the data to the destination), I do it several time and it continue to load all without checking. That mean the data is dublicated when the schedule run???
I think there should be a paramete or something like that to help the engine just load the new data to the destination. Could you help please?
Thank
