Problem Deploying Custom Report Item. Items Shows In Preview Screen In VS, But Not In Server Deployed Report
Nov 29, 2006
I have developed a custom report item that works fine in design and preview mode while in Visual Studio. I cannot get it to show up on my deployed reports. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Deployed the report using Visual Studio
2. updated the rsreportserver.config file with the following entry:
I've also tried using the StrongNameMembershipCondition with no better results.
4. The dll and its dependencies are copied to the bin directory of the report server.
5. When I load a report with this custom report item on it, the report loads fine with no errors or warnings in the log file (even with verbose tracing). The area where the custom item should be is just white. It's almost like Reporting Services isn't registering the item correctly.
This is particularly frustrating because the report works fine in Visual Studio - apparently I configured that correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.
I am having a problem with deploying a CRI. On my local machine the CRI works fine, only at the development machine it doens't works. I did the following steps:
copy the .dll to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies
copy the .dll to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4Reporting ServicesReportServerin
put this code in rsreportserver.config: <ReportItems> <ReportItem Name="BusinessConnectDiagram" type="LogicaCMG.BusinessConnect.DiagrammingCRI.GenerateDiagramRenderer,LogicaCMG.BCDiagramming"/></ReportItems>
put this code in rssrvpolicy.config: <CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup" Version="1" PermissionSetName="FullTrust" Name="BusinessConnectCodeGroup" Description="Code group for the Business connect diagrammer"> <IMembershipCondition class="StrongNameMembershipCondition" version="1" PublicKeyBlob="002400000480000094000000060200000024000052534131000400000100010051C346CB2A79947C83804E550CF1561729DB2B5C7DEFF93758E419F16390A295DF4906ADD8FD9A29559D5E3C8BFA73D8D21B64724B1B0E688091C1541FD54D5290D6968C73E9ACA842B1E42AB3DE369F7B545933C8E101A737BB7D22F937921E7F02E00C5121D1DC312DBE96154E5A4E47BD7F489A655A09CF08EABCFB6AB7C1" /></CodeGroup>
put this code in rsreportdesigner.config <ReportItems> <ReportItem Name="BusinessConnectDiagram" type="LogicaCMG.BusinessConnect.DiagrammingCRI.GenerateDiagramRenderer,LogicaCMG.BCDiagramming"/> </ReportItems> <ReportItemDesigner> <ReportItem Name="BusinessConnectDiagram" Type="LogicaCMG.BusinessConnect.DiagrammingCRI.GenerateDiagramDesigner,LogicaCMG.BCDiagramming" /></ReportItemDesigner I get the following error message: Could not load file or assembly 'ReportingServicesWebServer,
Also when i stop Reporting Services it won't start again. I get a timeout.
How would one go about setting the height of a custom report item programmatically?
I have a custom report item that renders back an image of indeterminate height. I cannot simply set RenderItem.Sizing = Image.Sizings.AutoSize; As the image is being rendered back at 300 dpi and will require being set to FitProportional. Therefore I need to set the height to a scale height. I've tried setting CRI.Height to a ReportSize value, but it tells me that I cannot because of the current state of the item.
I'm developing a Custom Report Item that generates a BarCode.
I developed all control functionality but now the problem resides on the Deploy Process.
For the fisrt time I followed 2 steps to deploy component on Visual Studio:
1) Copy the dll on " Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies " 2) Configure the control in "Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssembliesRSReportDesigner.config"
On the other Hand I configured SQL Server Reporting services doing that:
3) Copy the dll on " Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerin " 4) Configure the control in "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer sreportserver.config"
We are developing a custom report item but we cannot find a way to get the report parameters. In Vb examples there is mentioning of globals but these do not seem to be present in the c# enviroment.
Could anyone give a solution on how to get to the report parameter collection in run-time.
I'm looking at creating a custom report item which will allow me to input data into a textbox on the rendered report and dynamically update a textbox or another custom report item once I leave focus of that initial textbox. Is there a way to accomplish this? I have read that you can only create CRIs which use "graphic elements and images". Is that a true statement?
The reason why I don't want to have the initial value as a parameter is becuase the client doesn't want to have to click "View Report" everytime they want to see an updated value.
I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and have successfully created and deployed a Custom Report Item to use instead of the standard Chart Control.
This new Item works fine in both Report Designer (Visual Studio) and when generating Reports on the Report Server
However, I have a requirement that the same chart style must be available in Report Builder. Unfortunately, when using Report Builder to create a new report I can only select Tabular, Matrix or Chart style, and the chart option uses the standard style which is not suitable.
I cannot see any obvious way of including a Custom Report Item within Report Builder, so I have 2 questions :
Can I use a Custom Report Item in Report Builder? None of the samples or tutorials that I have found give any indication of whether this is possible.
I'm currently on the task to develop a custom report item to display date values from a data source in a Gantt-chart-alike way. I took a look at the documentation and the examples (especially [1]) but the documentation I found mainly concentrated on the case of assigning a single value to a custom property. As far as I can see I need to access the data source directly to retrieve the data I'd like to show. In the best case I could retrieve data sets only from a certain data grouping. But that's where I'm stuck. I realize I have to define the CustomData property in the designer component, but I have no clue what to set for DataRowGroupings, DataColumnGroupings, DataRows and so on. I hope somebody can point me to some documentation about the contents of the CustomData class. The MSDN documentation I found is utterly incomprehensible to me.
I have developed a renderer that renders the xml to paint a rectangle with textboxes in all the right places based on the data retrieved off the database. When i render the a complete report to the reportviewer i have no problem.
I need however to render the rectangle into a custom report item for reusability and different scenarios. This just seem to be impossible since it seems like I cant use anything other than an imagemap to render custom report items. Is this true?
To make sure you understand....in other words....
Is there a way to develop a Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.IRenderingExtension that renders the required xml like rectangles/textboxes etc. and then migrate this to a custom toolbox item. It just seems like this should be a very easy thing to do and something regularly needed. For example when you want to use textboxes in certain positions within a rectangle to draw a organisational chart.
We have 10 charts in One RDL file, out of these 10 charts 3 Pie charts are displayed dynamically, Using 'Visibility' property expression in the 'Hidden' sub property as below.
Which returns 'true' or 'false' for 'Hidden' property. Each chart has to be displayed on separate page, hence we have set 'PageBreakAtEnd' Property to true for each chart.
Problem: But, when this RDL file is deployed on report server, these charts are all displayed on single page without any page breaks. however, when the RDL file is exported in PDF format, the report is rendered with charts on separate pages as expected.
Is there any way to ensure the charts are rendered properly, in report viewer of report server ?
I read that this sample is included, however when I install the samples the other three are in the "Extension Samples" directory but the "Custom Report Item Sample" is missing. Can anybody please tell me where I can find it?
I'm developing a Custom Report Item and would like to fill my properties dialog in design mode with real data. I have the name of the data source and the command text for the corresponding report dataset, read from the report design.
Is it possible to create an ado.net dataset so that I can display and use real data in my properties dialog box? First problem I have is to get the connection string from the data source string. I found no docs for that, especially the Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.ReportDataSource class is not documented. Am I on the right way with that?
Hi All, I want to get the Font,Background colors of the report item(Textbox) changed in Runtime,According to the value in the Textbox. The idea is to get this done by using the Same Custom code for getting both the Foreground,Background colors, I thought to implement this with flag, But I dont know how to do this..
Reporting experts ..please help me with this issue.Thanks in Advance

I installed SQL reporting services 2005 and successfully configured reporting services.After designing the report using Bussiness Intelligence Studio, i tried to deploy my reporting services application to the localhost , I got the below mentioned error :
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer ------------------------------
A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer.
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)

The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)
I've seen some similar posts to this one, however none with an answer and I'm wondering if anyone has actually figured out what causes this issue. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I'm attempting to implement a folder structure for the report server, therefore am creating individual solutions in Visual Studio for each folder. At the top level i.e http://servername/reportserver/ I am able to deploy reports no problem.
However creating a folder at the next level in the tree and then deploying to that level such as http://servername/reportserver/ManagementReports causes a Reporting Services Login prompt to appear. No matter what user credentials I enter they are not accepted. I have full administrator rights the server, the site and the folders in question.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm trying to deploy Reporting Services on an Internet-facing web server using a custom security extension (forms authentication). We will be putting Report Manager on the Web Server outside of the firewall, and Report Server on another machine inside the firewall. When testing the solution in a development environment with Report Manager and Report Server on the same box, the solution works fine.
When testing it using the Internet-facing environment described above, it almost works but there seems to be an issue with the authentication cookie that is generated. Here's what happens:
1. User enters credentials on UILogon.aspx and submits form. 2. In the code-behind, LogonUser() is called through a web service proxy and the authentication cookie is returned successfully. The code used here to set the cookie is the same code used in the Forms Authentication sample that ships with RS2005. 3. The user is redirected to Folder.aspx, and the request hangs for a while, and eventually kicks you back out to UILogon.aspx, as if it lost the authentication cookie. When doing a trace on the HTTP header, the cookie is still there.
Is there anything special I need to do to make the Report Server "see" the cookie when I have Report Manager and Report Server on different machines?
I have some OLAP reports in which I have to alter the MDX statements each month, in the VS2005 report designer. They are deployed to the web and they contain Descriptions and Subscriptions which I create once they get to the web. The way I am currently updating them each month is by editing the reports in VS2005 and re-deploying them to the Reports Server. I then have to add the descriptions again and create new Subscriptions because the orig reports are deleted when the new ones, with the same name are deployed. There has to be a way that I can just alter the existing reports in the web environment and not have to recreate the Subscriptions each month. Any help would be appreciated.
Does 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.
Using MS SQL 200 SP4 with Reporting Services 2000 SP2 on Win 2003 Server SP1
Visual Studio .NET 2003 on different PC (Win XP SP2)
No problem creating reports or building solutions. Problems develop when deploying report to Report Server.
Here is the Output:
------ Build started: Project: From CD, Configuration: Debug ------
Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
------ Deploy started: Project: From CD, Configuration: Debug ------
Deploying to http://<server name>/ReportServer?%2f2nd Deploying data source '/2nd/AdventureWorks2000'. Deploying report 'Vendor Purchase Orders'. The report definition is not valid. Details: Could not find schema information for the element 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2003/10/reportdefinition:Report'. Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
These are my first attempts using report services. In a previous deployment attempts it created the folder (named 2nd), but in another attempt (saving it to the existing folder) I got the same result as you see above (I have also tried with a new folder but no luck). This above output is from my last attempt.
The Build error Task List states:
The Report Definition is not valid. Details: Could not find schema information for the element 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2003/10/reportdefinition:report'.
The shema URL as above returns HTTP 404. If I remove :report, I receive the page for Report Definition Language Schema May 2004
Looking at the .rdl code the schema URL is as above without :report.
As you can imagine with a limited skill set in this area I am quite confused. I have been doing alot of research but found nothing to help (or that I understand will help) so far.
If anyone can help me get through this I would appreciate it.
I have to try Report Designer Preview and i have to make a demo for a client.
I have 2 problems.
* We need Report Designer Preview to be the end-user Report Maker Tool. But, it doesn't have the Query Designer and the MDX Query Designer. In future version of MSSQL2008, is it integrated ?
* We work with MOSS 2007 and i just want to know if it's possible to deploy directy from Report Designer Preview to a Sharepoint with Reporting Services in Integrated Mode. If it's not, is it preview to have it ? and when ?
Thanks for your help. (if you know people from Microsoft who can help me for features in future version, thanks to forward me his email).
1. have report called report_a.rdl with subscriptions attached to it 2. developed a new report called report_b.rdl with the same parameter list as report_a.rdl 3. i would like to replace report_a.rdl with report_b.rdl without losing the subscriptions.
I think this is the workflow:
1. rename report_a.rdl to report_a_old.rdl in BIDS 2. rename report_b.rdl to report_a.rdl in BIDs 3. deploy report_a.rdl to reporting server
Will that work even though the ReportID GUID will change?
I have a report deployed on reporting serice. I am using reporting web service. How can we call the report, assign parameters and execute it on a webpage
I have a VS2005 Windows application that displays a reportviewer (SQL 2005) report in a tab control, then displays a second report in a second tab with reportviewer, and so on. The really strange thing is that I had this application working for about 3 months. I even had up to 30 reports in 30 tabs at one point. BUT, for some reason now all I get is the first report and the second, third, etc. tabs show a reportviewer with "Report being generated" that never displays the report. Even worse, another user is able to run this application and DOES get all the reports displayed. So what could have been updated on my PC that is causing this problem?
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.
I'm new to visual studio and reporting services. We have report models, reports and data sources on a temporary server that need to get moved to a new report server. I have been able to upload certain reports to the new server but I'm still having problems with other items. What is the easiest way to move over these items to the new server? Is there a way from visual studio to connect to the old server? I want to save the items to my local drive and then upload them from there. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
I have created several reports using SSRS which is installed in my local machine. But source data base is in the main server. Data source connection works properly. Report manager is also configured to local machine.
Now I tried to deploy these reports to main server. So I changed the target URL to http://mainservername/reportsserver in the internal report property change box. But it was not succeeded. I get a error message like this.
