SSIS Package Designer Error Displaying The Layout
Aug 10, 2007Our Visual Studio installation suddenly starting producing the error below upon trying to open any .dtsx package; although by "suddenly" I'm sure it was due to some Windows update or other program install, update, or uninstall. I've spent two days uninstalling, reinstalling, and repairing everything that is seemingly related to VS, but no luck. I've searched the forums and could not find this specific error mentioned, although I have tried some of the suggestions to fix possibly related 'class not registered' errors, but again no luck.
===================================
There was an error displaying the layout. (Microsoft Visual Studio)

Flow Layout In Rs2005
Jan 10, 2007I have a report that needs to show postal addresses. The address is broken down into several fields. The problem I have is some of the address parts are optional. If they are empty, I'm left with nasty gaps in the address. I'd really like next label to reclaim the space of any empty labels.
a quick example
A full address would look like this..
customer name
address line 1
address line 2
town
county
post code
if address line 2 isnt given, I get:
customer name
address line 1
town
county
post code
but I want:
customer name
address line 1
town
county
post code
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Paul
Create Output File In A Specific Layout - Extra Spaces Between Fields
Mar 17, 2014I'm trying to create an output file in a specific layout. For some reason my output file is adding an extra 10 spaces between the Account Number and the Check Number in the statement below. The rest of the output file looks fine. Where the extra 10 spaces are coming from? I need 1 Filler Space between these fields.
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE p.PaymentMethodID WHEN 10 THEN 'I' WHEN 60 THEN 'V' WHEN 50 THEN 'S' ELSE 'I' END
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 20 - LEN(ba.AccountNumber))+ CONVERT(CHAR(20), ba.AccountNumber))
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 18 - LEN(p.CheckNumber)) + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), p.CheckNumber))

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.
Jun 30, 2006After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Report Layout
Sep 12, 2007
Hi,
When I preview my Reporting Services Report in VS2005 the report uses 2 separate pages. Even when there is very little data on Page 1 it will display something on Page 2.
How do I get all data on the one page?
Thanks.
Report Layout On PDF
Sep 11, 2007I have had a lood through the forum but although folks seem to be having a lot of issues with layout I can't see a problem quite like this one.
We have a number of customer reports which need to be exported to PDF and to look quite smart. They are single page reports with things like address and customer info at the top, followed by the main report, all of which can have a variable number of rows. Then at the bottom is some supplementary information which can also vary quite substantially in size. All I want is for the main report to hug the top of the page and the supplementary one to hug the bottom of the page - and I only really care what it looks like in PDF format. The problem is that I can't seem to achieve this. As the area at the top expands the bottom section moves up and down the page. I'd be quite happy to set aside a fixed area at the bottom of the page for the supplementary report, but I can't even work out how to acheive that! You would think that the obvious answer would be to put it in to a footer, but for some reason you can't put data elements in to headers or footers (why?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Display Various Report Layout, From 1
Jan 17, 2008Hi to all,
My idea is to create one main report. Now, depending on the parameters the report is receiving, my matrix will shift and change groups/rows.
For example, using only one dataset:
Client1 sees only activities/costs
Client2 sees activity/costs/blabla1/blabla2
Client3 sees activity/costs/subtotal for costs/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3
Basically, without having to create various reports, I will have one major, dynamic report.
The best that I have accomplished is hiding the non-wanted column, although the end result isn€™t good.
Thanks in advanced, personally I think it€™s a good challenge€¦ Any suggestion?
Custom Assembly Behaves Differently In The Report Designer And Report Manager
Mar 18, 2008Hello everyone,
I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);
I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.
In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.
Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

'Dynamic Time(year,month,date)' Report Template (rdl) Using Report Designer VS2005
Jan 19, 2007I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either
1: By date (rdl 1)
2.By Month (rdl 2)
3.By Year (rdl 3)
Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).
I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.
Thanks

Report Layout - Overflow Due To Matrix
Oct 28, 2007Hi
report is required to show the salary levels of employees within the company sorted by department.
first page shows overall company details
rest of report is to show a chart and a matrix for each department -
initally did this as a top level report and a subreport - the sub-report was put inside a table - the table grouped on department - so each time the department changed, a different sub-report was generated
this worked fine - chart and matrix generated ok - but it was slow as the sub-report was calling the stored proc each time to get the same data
decided to re-do by putting the chart and the matrix into the top-level report table (instead of the sub-report)
this is alot faster (takes < 10% of time)
but
the matrix is causing the pagination to go wrong
the table has three equal size columns in it and is the width of the report (apart from margins)
if i make the matrix the width of one column (same width as it was in the subreport), it overflows when the matrix has > 5 columns
this was not happening in the sub-report
think the problem is that the matrix is expanding, it only expands the width of the column it is in - and so the table still has to draw the other two columns - which it does overflowing onto a new page
does this make sense ??
is there any work around for this ??
Report Layout Is Different In Print Preview
May 4, 2007
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
Customize Report Parameter Layout?
Nov 7, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to deal with a way to change the report parameter's default layout.
currently it seems to default to two columns, that's fine until you have a large screen and the "View Report" button is all the way to the right and you have a big chunk of whitespace.
For Example:
Parameter 1 Parameter 2 <View Report>
Parameter 3
I'd like it to show up instead as:
Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 <View Report>
anyone ever tried this before?
Multi Value In Report Parameter Using MSVS Report Designer.
Aug 14, 2006Hi All,
I have a question, How to user the Multi value in Visual Studio Report Designer.
My dataset contains the following
Select empno,empname,basicpay,deptcd from employee where deptcd in (substring(@gdept,1,4))
Here variable gdept is the report parameter. I am passing the value.
it works fine with single value.
( the source of gdept is a another dataset to list the deparment code+name,
Example
DEP1 - COMPUTER
DEP2 - ADMIN
DEP3 - FINANCE
)
when I preview, i have a combo box to select the department.
If I choose one deparment, it works fine.
If I choose more than one department or select all I have error message
"substring function requires 3 aruguments."
what is wrong is the query
Please advise.
Cheers,
Saleem
Report Designer Report That Queries A Cube Model
Jun 15, 2007In Report Designer I am able to create a Model data source and see my entities/fields.
But when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute Query" message.
I know in the past this was an issue because Designer doesn't allow you to specify a perspective.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved?
I'm using SP2
Thank you,

Question On Particular Report Region Layout Properties
May 3, 2007Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
I have been trying to adjust the report regions fit into the whole report page. I could see the width and height property of the whole report page from the report property dialogue, but where can I find the width and height for the particular report region like the table? Then I could accordingly adjust the layout of both the report page and report region like table?
Hope my question is clear for your help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
MDX Query Disappears From Data Tab And Can't Change The Report In Layout Tab

I can preview the report. But, when I click on data tab there is no MDX query exists. After that I can't even preview the report.
Please let me know how can I solve this issue

Blank Pages In Print Layout Version Of Report
Sep 14, 2007
Hi All
I have a report that looks and works fine in the native 'screen layout' but when I select the Print Layout option, a blank page is inserted after each page. These blank pages contain the header and footer, but not the body section of the report. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? Is there something in my report layout causing this, or is it a bug in the Print Layout rendering?
Thanks much
Report Designer &&> PRINT ONLY A SECTION OF THE REPORT
Oct 18, 2007Hi,
I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts
Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?
I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...
Thanks for your help...

View 4 Replies View RelatedData Flow Task- Error Output
Apr 19, 2006I am trying to transfer data from one table to the other using a Data Flow Task of SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services)
I am using an OLE DB Source and an OLE DB Destination.
Source Table TABLE1
Column Datatype
ID - Int ,not null
EmployeeName - nvarchar(50), null
Destination Table TABLE2
Column Datatype
ID - Int ,not null
EmployeeName - nvarchar(50), not null
There are 10 rows in TABLE1 of which 2 have null value in EmployeeName column.
If I try to populate all TABLE1 row values into TABLE2 the data flow will fail as TABLE2.EmployeeName will not accept null value.
So I have inserted a FlatFileDestination into the DataFlow and the OLE DB Destination ErrorOutput is set as input to the FlatFile. In the OLE DB Destination Editor the ErrorOutput€™s error property is set to Redirect Row.
When I do this the 8 correct data from TABLE1 will be inserted into TABLE2 and the two rows with null value will be inserted into the FlatFile.
My requirement is this:
I don€™t want any data to be inserted into TABLE2 but I want the two erroneous records to be written into the FlatFile.
Please suggest.
View Layout Is Different Than Print Layout

Simple Custom Data Flow Transformation Doesn't Produce Any Output
Aug 30, 2006I've built a simple custom data flow transformation component following the Hands On Lab (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1C2A7DD2-3EC3-4641-9407-A5A337BEA7D3&displaylang=en) and the Books Online (ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.SQL.v2005.en/dtsref9/html/adc70cc5-f79c-4bb6-8387-f0f2cdfaad11.htm and ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.SQL.v2005.en/dtsref9/html/b694d21f-9919-402d-9192-666c6449b0b7.htm).
All it is supposed to do is create an output column and set its value to the result of calling a web service method (the transformation is synchronous). Everything seems fine, but when I run the data flow task that contains it, it doesn't generate any output. The Visual Studio debugger displays it as yellow, with 1,385 rows going into it, but the data viewer attached to its output is empty. The output metadata looks just like I expect: all of my input columns plus the new column, correctly typed. No validation or run-time warnings or errors are reported.
I'll include the entire C# file below, which only overrrides the ProvideComponentProperties, Validate, PreExecute, ProcessInput, and PostExecute methods of the parent PipelineComponent class.
Since this is effectively a specialization of the DerivedColumn transformation, could I inherit from the class that implements the DC component instead of PipelineComponent? How do I even find out what that class is?
