I am using the asp.net web application and microsoft visual studio reportviewer control and rdlc for creating a report ( not using sql server reporting). I used the Product table to view the result. It has five fields and I display all the itemsin the report. One field is Description and it store the html code as the value(eg:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). I want to disply the output of this html code in my report's description field. But in my report, it shows the html value that I stored in my table (:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). How can I render the html in my report. Please give me a solution.
I have a report which uses for one of its columns, a text field that contains HTML formatting. FreeTextBox is used to enter the rich-text data and is bound to a dataset, in this type of format : <BR><B>the title</B><P>Some stuff...</P>. Needless to say, when this prints out it does not look very useful. Is there any way to embed a rich-text type field in a report?
I want to display a varbinary field in the reports. the field contains value "<B> example </B>. When viewed in report viewer, it displays the value as such.
I am having a rdlc report in which i have to fit the image. I dragged and dropped the Image from the toolbox. I am able to get the Image but if the image is small i want to get small or else if the image is big i want to get big image . At the moment i am getting same for both of them. I am using VB.net to get the Image and sql2005. Any solution for this....
I am creating an RDLC report. but it is rendering very slow. I have very small amount of data and still it takes a long time in rendering. I thought it might be due to amount of SQL data so i cut data to 5 rows and 5 columns only. still it renders very slowly.I am using Visual Studio 2012 and SQL server 2012 for deployments. Also i have a good hard ware configuration and still it takes upto 5 minutes in loading a report.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render our reports to Microsoft Word format. We€™ve searched around and haven€™t really found any useful information on how to do this.
Is Microsoft planning on releasing a Word rendering extension? If so, when?
Has anyone written a custom rendering extension for Word? Or, does anyone know how to write a custom rendering extension for Word?
We need either a Microsoft solution that€™s already built-in to Reporting Services or a solid, free solution. We are not in the market of buying a third-party product like OfficeWriter.
I have an application wherein I need to generate a single report(possibly in PDF format) which contains more than one report. Iam using SSRS 2005. In my application Iam using report server url to render reports. The below is URL for rendering single report.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render multiple reports into one output file. So, for example, say we have four reports and when the user asks for the reports to be generated, we would like to have all four reports come out in one PDF (or Excel or HTML) file instead of four separate files. I hope this makes sense.
Is there any way to render multiple reports to one output file?
i got through the installation of the Sql Server 2000 Reporting services evaluation and managed to deploy a couple reports and a shared data source to my reporting server on my DEV box.
Now im trying to view the reports i made online and they never render, all i get is the animated gif that always says "Report is being generated". This goes on and on with apparently no end in sight.
I CAN preview the reports in VS 2003 and they render almost instantly. there are no differences that may affect the connection to the database between my development computer (with VS 2003) and the server that the reporting server is on.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening ?
Why is taking so long to open/create/render the reports for the first time? Is there any configuration to change this? I don€™t think this behavior is related to Report Execution or cache! I think there is something else going on! Thanks.
If you generate a report in HTML and it then opens a seperate page, if you then press refresh does it refresh the data from the database or does it just refresh the page?
I am retrieving a field from SQL and displaying that data on a web page. The data contains a mixture of text and html codes, like this "<b>test</b>". But rather than displaying the word test in bold, it is displaying the entire sting as text. How do I get it to treat the HTML as HTML?
I would like to use SQL client-side reporting in ASP.NET. However, our customer would like to edit the report sometimes, is there any existing graphical editor to edit .rdlc file? Thanks.
I have searched the archive of this forum, and based on some previous answers have read the followin FAQ

However, even so, I still have a questoin about when to use RDLC vs RDL from the point of view of licensing and load sharing betwee DB and report server.
1. As we all know that SSRS will take a license of SQL Server if the web service is deployed on any other machine other than SQL Server (which is normally the case because no serious DBA will allow IIS apps to be installed on the DB Server). Also, if the SSRS is deployed on NLB cluster then each node of the cluster would need a "SQL Enterprise" license. (which can be very expensive).
2. Co deploying the SSRS with SQL Server is a bad idea because it puts excessive load on the DB+Report Server.
3. Since there is no "load balancing" in SQL all the rendering has to be done by the SSRS service which is running on the DB Server.
Now compare this to RDLC
1. RDLC gives me the same engine as RDL
2. However it has no licensing tags to it.
3. I can deploy ASP.NET report viewer on my web farm and scale it out as much as I like.
4. Extract data from the DB using stored procedures.
So it seems that RDLC solution is cheaper, gives better scale out capabilities and also moves the rendering of reports on the web farm rather than the Report Server.
Why should me or anyone else choose RDL at all?
There seems to be one disadvantage that the data has to fetched programmatically and manually binded (like an ASP.NET app) as RDLC does not provide any feature to connect to data sources. But this is not much when you see the cost and scalability benefits.
Hello everyone, thanks in advance for reading. I'm new to reports and have tried searching for my answer with no luck. Any direction would be great.
Here is the issue, I have 3 colums in the dataset which display String data ("High", "Medium", or "Low")
I've added a column to the table on the report where I would like to convert the value of "High", "Medium" and "Low" to 3,2,1 respectively then SUM these numbers.
Is this possible? I've tried several variations of the code below--maybe it's not possible to do what I want? Thanks again for your time and help.
Fields!PP.Value is set to: =Switch(Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "High", 3, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Medium", 2, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Low", 1)
I am trying to convert, (as the title suggests), an already created .rdl file to a .rdlc file. I have googled it and yes came across the most informative "step-by-step", however even after renaming to .rdlc and opening the file in SQL Server 2005 BI the file is still not being deserialized using the reportdefinition from 2005.
Can somebody please help with this and provide me with something a little clearer than "...you must convert the file.".
We have developed client SQL Server Reporting Services reports (rdlc) that are completely dynamic.
Everything on the report itself is build from code.
There are a few problems in the formatting of these reports that we have not been able to correct.
1) Because of the way the data has to be displayed. we have had to use a List control with Textboxes and Lines within to give the appearance of a table.(Column headers are textboxes with background set to gray). Line controls exist between each column of data. We did this because we need to have nested lists in some cases to display the data.
The height of the listbox is adjusted to fit the contents within. The vertical lines between the columns appear broken with gaps between each item.
Is there any way to set the line height to automatically fit the height of the ListBox.
2) Another issue we have is with Texboxes. If there is no value in the Textbox, the borders do not show. CanShrink is set to false. Hidden is false. Is there any other setting or something else that could be causing this?
this idea goes with my post on licensing reports. Is it possible to deploy an encrypted rdlc file and have custom SSRS pages that will decrypt it, run it, manage it, etc? We were thinking what is the point of custom SSRS pages for licensing if the rdlc is just a plain xml file any one can see, change, copy, etc.
Using ASP.NET 2, C#, Web application, we have an rdlc report which will be primarily used to export to an Excel spreadsheet. When we run thw report, then export it, we wind up with a spreadsheet with no gridlines, eg a spreadsheet with invisible cell borders.
Is the a setting or property somewhere which can be changed so that the spreadsheet which opens after the export looks like a standard spreadsheet, that is, with visible cell borders?
Hello I am pretty new to reporting services. Now i have something like this. on the .cs file, i have a fullName lets say String fullName = "John Smith", Now I want to pass this string to the report's textBox and show this value on this textbox.
How can i do this? 1.How should i write in .cs file? 2. How should i set the expression for the textbox?
Thank you very much. It is very urgent! Please help!
We had come a long way in implementing reports using RDLC and now we are stuck with the requirement to display RTF text using RDLC.
Is there a way to display a RTF Text in RDLC in a purely managed code?
The links mentioned below provides a work around solution to this but a part of its implementation is in un-managed code. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=551939&SiteID=1
I have a very simple test report created in Visual Studio 2005 as an rdlc file in my dll. The rdlc file is in the dll because it is built off of the business objects. I need to be able to stream this file (i.e. not use a report viewer) to the browser.
I found code that I included below, but get an error:
The report definition for report 'Monkey.Report1' has not been specified
Yes my test namespace in my dll is named "Monkey" )
//Render the report renderedBytes = localReport.Render(reportType, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out fileNameExtension, out streams, out warnings);
//Clear the response stream and write the bytes to the outputstream Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = mimeType; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=foo." + fileNameExtension); Response.BinaryWrite(renderedBytes); Response.End(); }
I choose the MedcialCase.ID and MedcialCase.PatientOfMedcialCase.Name to show, but when the report was run ,,just MedcialCase.ID has been shown, the text of MedcialCase.PatientOfMedcialCase.Name is "=Fields!Name.Value"
I modify it to "=Fields!PatientOfMedcialCase.Value.Name.Value" and run it ,the "#Error" show in the text of Name
anyone can tell me why?and how to bind object like MedcialCase to the Report?
I cannot find anything that would suggest it is possible to use a cascading style sheet when formatting data elements within a local report (RDLC). We created an HTML report using CSS and now want to generate the same report using the Report Viewer control along with our defined styles.
I' m using Microsoft Reporting. Is there a way to create Report .rdlc file Dynamically on the fly? I' m using VB.net. Any help can be appreciated. Thanks Mythili
Hi All, Can I create a code based (vb.net) datasource for a report? I am using VS studio and really do not like the GUI based datasets/tables. They are a big hassle to manipulate. It is much easier to create them in code. But how do I make the dataset "visible" to the report.
The reports in VS studio seem very limited, they do not seem allow much programming?
Is it possible to use an Oracle Stored Procedure for an RDLC report. There are posts I've read that deal with RDL reports that use the data tab and command type of "Stored Procedure", but I don't have that installed. I just create a new dataset that the report uses. I can do reports just fine with SQL statements, but I want to be able to call a stored procedure...
