T-SQL Sequential Record Navigation
Jan 25, 2007Hi everyone I stumbled across this problem recently and have tried to figure out a good solution and have come up with nothing.
Environment: ADO.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, MS SQL 2000, C#
Problem: I have a set of data which I order according to two columns of data in the set. One column is a varchar or a date value (depending on what the user has chosen from GUI controls) and the other is an identity column. This dataset contains lots of data so its not feasible to pull the entire dataset to the client, also everything must be performed via ADO.net (no stored procedures). When the user selects one of the records I load another page and drill down into the record details (think of this as the record details page). This is fine and easy but on this record details page I would like to keep a Next and Previous button so users can move to the next record in the set (remember this set is sorted somehow on the previous page). My question is how can I know what next record should be? It would seem I need to attach a sequential number to the rows of data so I can easily grab the next one in the set. Solutions to this seem to make use of a temp table which I dont think is possible via ado.net.
Is there a decent performing way to do this through ado.net?
Thanks for all insight.

Simple Navigation Buttons.....
Jan 24, 2007 Hi all,
I'm trying to design a website with my old MS Access Application as a template, because my users know that style. I use textboxes to display data from the MSSQL 2005 database, one record and 20 fields per page ....and i would like to navigate through the records with 4 buttons: first, last, next and prior, placed on the page.I tried a lot of things, and my last attemt was a Stored Procedure with a Cursor to do the trickbut.... it did not work
It's very easy to do this in MS Access.
Can anyone tell me a simple way to do this ?
Navigation On Matrix Subtotal
Jan 30, 2007Here's a sample matrix:
Men Women Total
Full Professor 36 12 48
Assoc. Professor 16 9 25
Assistant Professor 11 14 25
Total 63 35 98
Now, it's easy enough to make the values clickable so that somebody can drill down to a report that shows detail about the people. I have also discovered how to turn off clickability on the totals. However, what I really want is for the totals to be clickable so that, for example, if I click on the 63, I see a report that shows all men. Likewise, If I click on the 48, I want to see a report that shows all Full Professors. What currently happens when the totals are clickable is that if I click on the 63, I get all men who are full professors (36 records instead of 63). If I click on the 48, I get all Full Professors who are men. (36 records instead of 48).
Is there any way to send different parameters (or even no parameters) to the secondary report if the subtotals are clicked instead of the regular results?
Thanks in advance!
Jump To Report Navigation
Sep 11, 2007
Can I have a report that is nothing more than a parameter and when the user selects from the list it will jump to another report based on which parameter was selected?
I can create a report with a text box that I can click to jump. I'd like to be able to eliminate the click on text box if possible and jump directly from parameter select pull down box.
Thanks.
Two Different Addresses In The Navigation Pane?
Sep 14, 2007I have a report with a Matrix table. When it€™s fully populated I have 5 rows. These rows are different categories in a CRM system. In these categories there are a lot of Opportunities listed. The thing here is that category 1-4 exist in one table, really a view, and category 5 exist in another different view. So to gather all the information into one single Matrix table to later have subtotals and stuff I just made a little Union of the two select queries.
Now one the column in the table is of course Topic. And from here my client wants to be linked to the right CRM card. The problem I have encountered is that how can I have to different addresses on one single cell in the table?
In the Navigation pane in the cell that corresponds to the Topic, for now I have an address like this:
=string.Format("http://{0}/SFA/opps/edit.aspx?id={1}", Parameters!srv.Value, Fields!objectid.Value)
What I need to change when it€™s a category 5 Opportunity is €œopps€? to €œcat5€?and add €œ&etc=10008€? to the end of the address. Any ideas?
PS. {0} and {1} are parameters, one server parameter and one opportunity ID parameter.
Kind Regards

Export Functionality With Navigation
Dec 27, 2006Hi,
I have a doubt regarding use of navigation controls in a report and exporting the report. For example using a drilldown functionality in a report. After the report is generated one can export the report in whatever format he wants (PDF,TIFF, XML,...).
In this case, with the drill down functionality in the report, the details of the report are visible only when the plus sign is clicked. Suppose now the plus sign is not clicked and one exports the report in a PDF or TIFF format.
In the PDF file, the navigation or the drill down functionality is now not useful right ? There is no way to view the detail fields of the report now, using the PDF file right?
Thanks in advance,
Navigation Buttons Dimmed
Apr 11, 2007Anyone know why my navigation buttons on my reports is always dimmed so that I can only see the very first page of every report? I even spent some time with a Microsoft SQL Server engineer trying to figure this one out and he wasn't able to figure out why?
I tried to attach a picture but I guess pictures aren't allowed. The first page, previous page, next page and last page buttons displayed as arrows on the top left of the reports are always dimmed on every report even though they have multiple pages.
Has this happened to anyone and how did you get it fixed?
Thanks
Navigation In Matrix On Zero Values.
Apr 21, 2008Hi guys,
I have a matrix report, which has one row group and one column group. The value is a Count of some field coming from the dataset. So the difficulties that I'm having is that when I click on zero(i.e. 0) values from the main report, the detail report doesn't ran and it through an error message : The 'X' parameter is missing a value. When the value is positive(other than zero) then the detail report works fine.
Any idea on this?
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I know this question has been asked several times in the forum, and I've tried to use the examples given, however, I cannot make them work for myself so I'm finally posting my question. I hope someone can help me out as well
Report Name: Passive Theft - Summary
Report: This is a rolling 12 months report (it is a matrix).
Row Groups: site (location), manager, direct report (for each manager)
Column Groups: Year, month > this is for all work orders
Overview: The counts showing on the report summary shows how many passive theft audits were found, in a period of time (year and month) on a person's work orders (which where the Direct report information is derived from)
Just like prior posts, I need to be able to drill down from the summary report (which shows counts of audits) to a detail report that will show the individual work orders depending on the number clicked (non-subtotal and subtotal in the matrix). My detail report is called "Passive Theft - Detail", and this is the report I'm pointing to in the navigation option - jump to report.
What I have done so far is that if I just pass the year, month, site, and direct report as parameters to detail report and I get the correct detail (in the report, this would be clicking on 6, any of the aggregates by the manager line). However, if I click on 1, 2 or 3, I obviously just get the result for the whole manager group again, which is just 6.
Can you please show me a code on how I can accomplish passing on the correct values an getting the right detail?
Second dilemma: We have a lot of contractors employee information that have been purged from the system, which could possibly still have work orders attached to them, but their name just wont show up in the report. In my SQL, I use the ISNULL function to show these purged contractors as "Unknown". So say for the Sample above on Direct Report Unknown which = 3, if I click on that, I may click on that and only get 2 details in the Detail Report because 1 other detail has been purged out of the system. But if 2 are available, I would still like for them to show for the unknown contractor.
Third dilemma: An employee may still be present in the system, but the work order information could be purged already and so if you click on Direct Report A, as an example, he woudln't have a detail for that work order even though he has a count of 1. How do I resolve this?
I know this is such a long question but I really need help I hope someone can enlighten me Thank you!

BookMark Link && Report Navigation

All,
Is there a way to combine the Bookmark and report link functionalities in reporting services. For example, I have two reports. When I click a link in first report, I would like to be able to navigate to second report but not at the top of the report but at a particular report item way down in the second report, sort of like an anchor on an HTML page. Can I do this?
Thanks.
ReportViewer Paging: Navigation Disabled
Mar 27, 2008Hi,
I've got a problem with paging and the ReportViewer. Here's how it goes:
First, I got the ReportViewer set to "print layout" and my reports having the correct size for each layout (landscape or portrait). Everything is fine with this since the number of page in the report reflects perfectly the number of page you can navigate with.
However, there seem to be a problem with displaying the correct number of page at the loading of the report. In fact, if the report contains 5 pages, the navigation header with often only shows 4 pages total. But once I click "next page", the correct number of page is then computed.
I didn't have any problem with that until I got a 2 pages report. The problem is, the navigation header is showing 1 total page and the "next page" button is disabled. So I cannot click it. I can, however, "scroll" down with the mouse wheel. But, this isn't a viable solution since some of our clients don't have mice with wheels.
Is there an option to tell the ReportViewer to complet the page count before showing any data on screen?
Thanks

Trying To Build A Query For A TreeView / Navigation Menu

I have a table with the following columns (some omitted)IDGUIDPageNameParentPageID I want to build a hierarchical navigation system (2-tier). The conceptual problem that I am running into was getting this information from the same table. Initially I was going to use a nested repeater but I am thinking a treeview would be better. Anyway, the problem is the query. How would I start with something like this? Let's use the following as an exampleRows(ID '1', GUID '888....', PageName 'Page A', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '2', GUID '111....', PageName 'Page B', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '3', GUID '222....', PageName 'Page C', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '4', GUID '375....', PageName 'Page 1', ParentPageID '1')(ID '5', GUID '562....', PageName 'Page 2', ParentPageID '1')(ID '6', GUID '874....', PageName 'Page 3', ParentPageID '2')
(ID '7', GUID '388....', PageName 'Page 4', ParentPageID '3') So, I want to be able to build a query so that I can do the followingPage A Page 1 Page 2Page B Page 3Page C Page 4 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

now clearly, I will have two top level navigation
property and portfolio. both property will have subsequent navigation and those subsequest navigation may or may not have another sets of navigation.
I need to display in a row style not in a drop down style for eg. If I am in portfolio link the navigation structure should be as below
Portfolio
Capital Expenditure | Depreciation | Condition Audit | Historical Expenditure
Capex | Graph
by default Capex should be selected. it should also highlight Portfolio, Capital Expenditure and Capex as Capex's parent is Capital Expenditure and Portfolio
I was thinking of using a 3 level datagrid. could someone please help me I am using asp.net 2.0 web application project with vb.net and sql server 2005

ReportViewer Error Page Navigation Is Out Of Range

SQL Reporting Services Performance On Navigation Pages.
Sep 17, 2007I am experimenting with SQL Reporting Services on a machine with SQL Server 2005 loaded and deploying
reports to a different server. both servers are equivalent in resources.
In the browser on the Reports machine when I first go to the Reports address, it takes a very long time
to build and load the page. it then takes a long time for each drilled down page. Subsequent calls to the same
pages are very fast if done within a certain amount of time. This implies that there must be some form of
caching going on and that the cache expires after a period of time. I have seen in the RSReportserver.config
file that there are parameters relating to report caching, but they all appear to reference the actual reports being
generated. My issue is simply being able to build the start page and other navigation more quickly and to
keep it active so it does not have to perform that build each time.
Any information related to managing this situation would be very much appreciated..
Thank you, Ray

Navigation From The Root Folder To Specific Folders For Users
Apr 1, 2008Hi there, I have the following setup in the report manager:
Root
|_ Sales
|_ Sales Export
|_ Marketing
|_ Production
|_ etc...
Now, I know that I can access each folder (f.e. Sales) by directly putting it into the URL. Is there a possibility to enable every user to the root folder and then denying access on specific folders? F.e.: Our Head of Sales should be able to navigate to the root folder and then dcecide whether he wants to enter the Sales or the Sales Export folder.
Is this possible? I tried a few things, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance!
Passing Filter To A Jump To Report Navigation Option.
Apr 24, 2008Hi all, Hope someone can help me on this. I have a dataset from a stored Procedure which I am displaying on a table, I am using the option from the navigation tab "jump to report" from one of the Textboxes in the table. But I want to use the same set of data but filtered with the selected option on the table. I already have parameters for the Stored Procedure passing them to the "jump to report". But I just cannot figure out how to pass the set data set but filtered for my next report. Is there a way to do this.Or do I have to create another version filtered of the stored procedure used for the original. Ideally, it would be great to use the same dataset but filtered. Hope my question make sense. Thanks in advance jard

Ways To Make This Work: Several Selectable Related Record For One Main Record.
Apr 6, 2007Hey all!
Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.
Thanks in advance,

Query Timeouts When Updating A Record Retrieved Through A Websphere JDBC Datasource - Possible Record Locking Problem
Apr 7, 2008Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
