I have created Reports using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service.
Now I want to print them in button click on Windows Form without displaying or previewing it.
More over I want to print 2 copys at a time?
I want to print without preview.

I am working with a report created by someone else using SQL Reporting Services. In layout view the background for the body of the report is set ti transparent; however, when I preview the report using print preview the background or margins of the pages are appearing as black - text boxes, tables, etc. appear according to the properties that have been set. As soon as I change the background color to say white the print preview looks fine. Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere that controls this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know, or direct me to an example of, how to print a SERVER report directly to a printer from a windows application? There are plenty of examples on the internet that shows how to do this with a local report but a SERVER report seems to be a whole other animal.
Thanks,

So in order for print preview to work, one has to change the background of all items on the page to white?
Is that a bug that is going to be fixed soon (along with running out of memory when you print a big report)?
Hi there,
I'm working on an invoice report, that requires borders around the whole report. I've got header, footer and body in the report. In the body section, i've got a table which shows line items for an invoice. So the table grows as per the no. of lines in the invoice. As said before I've got to have border around the report. I tried put info in ractangles with borders for header/footer and table with borders in body section. The borders appears fine for headers and footer ractangles but as the table grows/shrinks, border from body section is not continuous to the footer section. i.e. For an invoice with 2 line items the borders for table will appear for two lines only but i want it to be scratched up to the footer area regardless of no. of line items in the invoice.
I've also tried to use borders for header, footer and body sections itself rather than using ractangles. But then when i export the report to pdf and print from pdf, it looks fine but when i tried to print from report manger its missing right hand side border for page header, footer and body. I've made sure there is enough margin around report. Report body/header/footer are 19 cm wide that's mean the report still have 2 cm of space for margins. The left/right margin are 0.5 cm.
I've been trying to do various things for last 2 weeks but not getting anywhere. Can i anyone please help into this?
Thanks,
Vivek
We have 2 users accessing exactly the same reports/data but who are getting different numbers of pages printed.
The report viewer displays 12 pages of data; when one user selects Print preview they get 12 pages displayed and 12 pages print. When the other user displays exactly the same 12 pages of report data and preview it, they get 24 pages, with the last column apparently spilling on to a second page. I realise that physical pagination is controlled by the print control and is unrelated to the HTML rendering, but the users have the same printer selected and the print-preview shows the margins set to the same size. What else can be causing the difference?
We are using RS 2000, SP2. TIA for any assistance with this.
Hi,
Using SQL Reporting 2005:
I have a report which has the Interactive Height set to 0 so that it does not use paging. When I try and print preview the report, I can see the report okay until I go forward after the last page, and then I get the error "An error occured trying to render the report. 0x80004005". I can print the report and it prints fine, but I get a pop-up that says that there was an error printing the report. I've narrowed it down to the interactive size property, but am not sure how to get around it.
Thanks.
I'm currently using Sql server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm trying to take data and fill in a form that I'm making a background image. When I go to preview all the textboxes filled with data align with the fields in the background image form. When I go to print they are off by a inch or so horizontally. Can anyone help me on this topic.

By opening my web application in IE9 and running report, i can print and show then print preview by clicking the "Print preview" button in printing dialog.
By opening my web application in IE11 and running report, i can print the report but if I click on the print preview on the print dialog nothing appears... Why?
I have a tried two different reports one with table and the other without The last textbox in both reports contains enough text which should fill half of first page and half of second page. In both reports the print preview and export to PDF keeps the first page blank and puts all the data in the second page. It appears that the textbox control doesn't know when to place a pagebreak when in print preview and export to PDF. The rdl file has no pagebreaks defined anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help!
I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to preview mode and select the print preview. The white background is black and the black is white. Any one know how to set this back to the original way it worked?
Is there a way to make the data selecatable. For example, a user runs a report and wants to copy the applicationId onto their clipboard so they can use it to search in another application. Currently they have to remember or write down a 9 digit number. Not very user friendly...
I am currently using a data table as the container for the data in my rdl file. Then I use reportviewer for winforms to embed it in our user application.
Thanks

Hello, I have given up after 3 hours of trying to get a DBNull.Value to be inserted into SQL 2000 DB. Below is the code that exists in an object that I use both from a VB.NET Windows application and from an ASP.NET application. (same exact compiled object dll). Has ran fine with windows application for almost a year - still does. Use the same object in my new ASP.NET application and I get a SQL Overflow error that says date must be between 1753 12 am etc etc... when trying to insert null using the code below.
This one has me stumped. The lines below where I set the date are basically this (what the logic equates to):oDR.Item("CT_CustomDate1") = DBNull.Value
oDR.Item("CT_CustomDate2") = DBNull.Value
Error gets thrown when this line is executed:oDA.Update(oDT)
Also, the CT_CustomDate1 & 2 fields in the SQL Server 2000 DB are of type SmallDateTime and the variables in object used in code function below are Date. I've tried every combination of Date, DateTime, SmallDateTime, etc. etc. to no avail.
Thanks for you help!

Hi All,
I have a winform app built using vb.net that utilize SQL 2005. How do i include the database that i have within the application itself and how does that affect the connection string? This lead to the 2nd question, Will the database have multi user capability if i set the connection string to (local)? Does anybody have a step by step way to do this? Please elaborate the way to do it or share with us the link to do it.
Thanks in advance!

I have asked this question before (but the question was geared for something else). Let me briefly lay out my question.
I currently have a WinForm app I distribute that interfaces with Access. When I distribute it, I have in the application startup path a folder called "Database" which has the Access .mdf. With me so far?
Now.
I have tools that automate and semi-automate the embedding of important information into my database during the course of a project. However, because more people are starting to use my tools, we have a concurrency issue. I was looking at SSEE as a replacement for Access to solve this problem and avoid the concurrency problem. Hence it is not for the customer I am moving to SSEE but for my internal team who use my tools.
I am having a difficult time delivering the finished product because I don't quite know how to deliver SSEE. I am very proficient with setups, and know that as a prequisite they have SSEE as a selectable item, but how to I attach my database to SSEE in the setup? Do I need to detach my database from my server and reattach it during the setup for the customer?
I have found no articles describing this (except ClickOnce which is not what I want). If everyone raves about SSEE over Access, I would think this would be a widely available question.
This is probably a question for a MVP or someone who has dealt with this personally, so I would welcome your expertise in this matter.
Thanks
Im trying to figure out if there is a way to embed an ssis package into a c# winform?
I know that I can pass variables to a package and write the entire package out programatically, but im curious if there is a way to add the dtsx as an assembly or something. OR is there any tool that would take the ssis package and spit out its equivalent in code?
thanks
I saw a video on how its possible to create a local database so that when the application is being deployed, the mdf file will be deployed with it and will contain the enter data. The instructor(Beth Messi) showed that all I need to do is to add the .mdf file using the "Rightclick Project name in solution explorer > select add > add new item > then in the dialog that opens, select SQL database and click ok. I did this but the Visual Studio kept saying: "An error occored while extablishing a connection with the server. When connecting SQL Server 2005, this failure may have been caused by the fact that under the default settings of SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Shared memory provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Honestly, I don't know how to go futher with this. The SQL server am using is the professional edition and I have been able to use it through Visual Studio to create Databases. It connects alright in that senario. Please I really need help here.
In order to provide runtime, realtime, graphical feedback to ETL operators, I am planning to open a new winform when my packages start, and update the form via polling of events.
It is my understanding that this means I need to create a new thread for the winform from within the script task. Anyone done this via script task yet? Any reason why this couldn't work or shouldn't be done from the script task?
Would I be better off writing the winform app completely seperately and simply call it from an "execute process" task?
Thanks,
Ken
We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

Hi all,I want to preview my local report(.rdlc) in PDF Format.

Pls Help me.
SSRS 2005.
I am having trouble with report results. The dataset(dynamic sql sp ) returns correct results for the parameters passed. But when report is previewed with same parameter values(that were supplied to dataset) the results are wrong. It works for certain results, but fails to display correct results for 2 of the categories. I tried deploying it to srvr. There too it fails for same 2 categories. I have been struggling with it all day.
The independently exceuted the sp with the same data supplied to rpt parameters - that also renders correctly.
Has any one faced this type of issue? Is this some type of caching issue? I am totally baffled!
Please help!
Thanks in Adv
Hi,
I have a problem. I have developed a report. When i see the preview of the report there is no data coming up. On the other hand, when I deploy the report and execute the report from the report manager, I am able to see data for the report. It is pointing to the same database.
I feel i am missing something. Any help in this regard is welcome.
Thanks in Advance.

I can see OK this value in preview, but when I print it this value isn't visible.
And in printed version there is one page more than in preview. Page is configured (A4) and preview is OK, but printed version is not like preview!!??
Can anybody helpme please?

I am using Reporting Services 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and Oracle 8.x client.
I have an issue when previewing the report in Visual Studio. I do not receive any errors€¦.. I just don€™t see any data. The strange thing is when I deploy the report and run the report in Report Manager there is data.
I added the TNS and I set the credentials.
Does anyone else have an issue printing the first time from the preview window in the IDE?
I understand that they are fixing the issue with having to hit the print button twice, but even after that, the report appears to print, but never makes it to the printer.
Thanks!

I am now getting this error mesaage when I try to preview my report
[rsInvalidToggleItem] The table €˜table1€™ has €˜siteref€™ as a toggle item. Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and cannot be contained within the current report item unless current grouping scope has a Parent.
What does that mean in english?
Also, if I can't fix this, is there a way to get the one that is deployed and functional on the webserver back into the report designer and reverse engineer it?
I have not touched the groupings since vewiing it last. I have only been adjusting the value boxes of three fields that I had yet to get functional.

Is there a way of previewing a report without executing the dataset? Problem is when I make changes to the layout of the report it is taking a while before the report renders.
While I am developing my reports and working on the layout, changing colours, fonts etc it would be good to have an option which uses local data only.
Is there an option like this?
I am reposting this to a different forum, becasue I got not response...
Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express€¦
Take a simple stored procedure like the following to return a specific column from a specific row in a data table ....
SELECT fld_IX_UserID
FROM UserIDs
WHERE (fld_UserID_Table_ID = @USERID_TABLE_ID)
It works fine in Store Procedure, and if you create at table adapter to reference it, that works fine as well.
Here is the issue. In the store procedure (i.e. under Server Explorer), when you execute the command to test it, it gives you the correct results. In Edit with Dataset Designer, Table Adapater, if you highlight it, right click preview data, it gives you incorrect results. In code, the table adapter gives you the correct resutls.
In every case, Preview Results for a table adapter built on a stored procedure will give you the wrong results. This is clearly a bug and can result in a log of wasted time.
Am I missing something? FYI, I realize I don't need to use the Table Adapater to execute the above stored procedure, but we are using table adapters for everything to be consistent.
Thanks,
Bob
