Report Not Picking Up Custom Style Sheet OR HtmlViewer.css Changes
Feb 27, 2007
I cannot seem to get the report to pick up the custom style sheet I placed into Reporting servicesReportServerStyles subdirectory. Nor will it pick up any changes to the HTMLViewer.css either. The report obviously isn't looking there perhaps? I've used the http: etc. ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%reportname%&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rs:Command=Render&rc:StyleSheet=MyStyleSheetname
I've even modified the HTMLViewer.css file as well. Nothing. Nada. Is there somewhere else this is cached? Or some way I can find where the report looks for this?

Hi every body! I created a report project by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development.I use toolbox chart to display report.But I want to edit format of catagory fields when it appear.That mean I have a report have two catagory(category1 and category2),one is parent of another.I want to edit style of catagory( such as catagory1 will have lines to separate with another category1......) Please help me! Thank you very much.
I want to make a CSS Style solution for my reports. I have few ideas related to this, changing the report properties on the fly, but I am not sure for which I should go for.
- We know that we can put expression on reports almost everywhere, and can also call custom code for setting up those expressions. i.e.
Public Shared Function GetValue(ByVal Key As String) As String
Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader Dim mySqlConnection As SqlConnection Dim mySqlCommand As SqlCommand
mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=tempMIQB") mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [Properties] Where PropertyName='" & Key & "'", mySqlConnection) mySqlConnection.Open() myDataReader = mySqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
If myDataReader.Read() Then GetValue = myDataReader.Item("PropertyValue").ToString Else GetValue = "None" End If
End Function
and in textbox or any where I can say =Code.GetValue("BGColor") or from .NET dll.
For going further on with this idea I can create an .NET dll and get the list from database or XML file. (Please give suggestions for performance/scalability issue.)
- second idea is to write a custom application (script) which can go through all the reports and change the color and fonts and every thing.
- third is to use parameters and use Array.IndexOf method to search for the value, but in this case i need to add dataset to all reports and, I think we cannot access report properties i.e. Parameters from custom code, just to make a generic function to access parameter value.
I am trying to create a calendar style report that will have 12 months (as columns) and store opening listing in rows. I have created a matrix, but the problem that I have is that the store opening listing displays in the right period, but they are not in any order. I would like to have the openings always on top, right under the header in the matrix. Now I have them scattered randomly all over the matrix. I tried numerous way of sorting and that does not work.
I am attaching a sample of what I would like to accomplish (months are columns).
Hi, Im using report viewer control in my VS2005 application. Im exporting reports using the Export Functionality of report viewer control. I need to gv specific name to the excel sheet (other then the default name). Pl. help!!!
my report dont fit on a A4 letter. thats not a problem at the report viewer but when i print or export the report. can i scale the report to fit to one page??
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the sheet names in Excel when exporting a report from Reporting Services 2005. In other words, I have a report with approximately 5 page breaks built in. When I render the report to Excel, it creates the 5 sheets as I expect, but it names them "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" etc... Is there a way to specify the name of the sheets? I am currently using a different table in my report for each sheet, but I am open to structuring this differently if needed.
I'm quite new in Reporting Services and have the following problem:
I created a report which is getting its data from 5 different databases. For every database I made a subreport to get the data. In the preview and on the Reporting Server all the data is displayed find. Now I want to export the report to an Excel sheet which does work. But where the data from the subreports is to be shown it just says that subreports in table-cells has been ignored.
Another problem is that the way the report looks in the preview is fine - on the reporting server the columns are far to wide. I allready marked that the width should be fixed.
Some more information: in the main report some cells are merged. In these merged cells is the data from the subreport to be shown. The subreport displays the data in a table which has exact the same amount of colums (and the same size) the cells in the main report had before merging.
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 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 have report which has 5 columns. User want to export report file in Excel format. when exported report then by default 2 columns will be hidden in excel and user can unhide columns after export in excel.I did column hide on report level and show in result set in excel sheet by using Global render format.
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 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 trying to deploy reports using rs.exe & rss script. I would like to provide custom Report Name for each report I am deploying (not same as report rdl filename) for more meaningful listing under Report Manager. Is there a way to implement the same?
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"
I have tried to search on the topic, but there's a variety of answers that has left me a bit confused, so let me try asking a-new...
I have RS 2005 installed (Report Server on one server with IIS and everything else, Integrated Security set; the Report Catalog on a separate server with SQL Server 2005, etc.). So far so good.
I can easily access a few of my test reports using URL Access, and I can also access Report Mgr just fine; all that to indicate I'm pretty sure I have RS installed and setup and working correctly.
Now I have a custom ASP.NET 2.0 based web app that, of course, uses Forms based authentication, not Windows. I can create a hyperlink on one my web pages that uses URL Access to get to some of my test reports. But, of course, it's prompts me for (and seems to remember) domain credentials.
That's the piece I want to avoid. I have created a specific Windows domain account that would be used for this purpose. Now, I just need to figure out code to put in my ASP.NET page to pass that along. I am not using the ReportViewer control.
So, I am trying to find a decent reference/example code on how to set the credentials. I have seen much example code that is like:
//assumes a web reference has been setup... ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
But I don't think I want "DefaultCredentials"... I want to use my custom domain account. Any help?
My other wild idea was creating this custom page in a directory where I could drop in a custom web.config that set the <authentication> element to "Windows" then set the <identity> element to my custom account... any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
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 have created a custom assembly and referenced it and the program builds successfully. When I try to run the report in design mode, it will not render, it throws an exception when it tries to create a PDF. When I remove the assembly, the reports work well. So I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong - does anyone have any suggestions?
namespace Calculations
{
public class calcPercentage
{
public static decimal Percentage(decimal decValueOne, decimal decValueTwo)
I referenced the assembly and added it to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies and I still get that error message so I do not know what the problem is.
The line where the exception occurs happens here:
byte[] bytes = MyReport.rvOutput.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warnings);
Thanks so much for you help! If you have any suggestions about my next error...i'm all ears!
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.
We are using custom authentication to acess the report server.Users can access reports only through a .net application. Now we want to give the users the ability to deploy their reports trhough a .net client utility with out changing the anonymous security setting in IIS.
Can anyone point me in the right direction . Can we use rs.exe to deploy reports under forms authenticated mode...
In a nut shell "Is there a way to deploy report through forms authentication"/
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 to create a custom rendering extension for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I followed the instructions in the MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/02/CustomRenderers/default.aspx
I am running the report server under an administrative account provileges on the local machine (XP Pro SP2). The Reporting Services is installed for SQL Server 2005 Trial/Evaluation Edition (not expired yet) and has been upgraded to Service Pack 2. The Report Manager runs under a default ASPNET account.
After deploying the extension according to instructions in the article, I see the custom renderer in the list of available rendering formats in the dropdown in the Report Manager.
However, when I select that renderer and click "Export", a new IE window opens with the following error message:
Server Error in '/Reports$SQLSERVER2005DEV' Application.
That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Exception: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. Stack Trace:
[Exception: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.]
[Exception: An error occurred during rendering of the report.]
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433
My "why is it not working" question basically breaks down to 3 questions:
1. Why does this error say "partially trusted" whereas the new element in the rssrvpolicy.config file explicitly asks for "FullTrust" permissions?
2. Is there any deployment step that I'm missing? [For now, it's: - copy-and-paste the dll into ReportServerin directory; - add a new CodeGroup element to the rssrvpolicy.config file; - add a new Extension element to the rsreportserver.config file; - IIS reset; - Reporting Services service restart.]
3. Also, I checked the deployment instructions in BOL (Deploying Rendering Extension: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154516.aspx), just to make sure I didn't miss anything. An interesting this is, the BOL article does NOT mention a requirement for adding a new element into rssrvpolicy.config file. Is this an error in the September 2007 Books Online?
The same error (regarding "partically trusted" - see above) occurs even after I signed the assembly with a strong name key (although this is not mentioned in the articles, but I figured it might be necessary).
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to properly deploy a custom rendering extension, please?
is it possible to create a report server project template ? This project must have 2 datasources and 1 specific report I wanted to use the Export Template, but it isn't available. I can only use it in Developpement Studio not in BIDS.
