Hi everyone,
I am testing reporting services custom assembly feature, but have problems.
I have referenced my dll, put my class name and instantiated it...
when i try and use a method within my instantiated class, it says "file or assembly name was not found".
Any ideas?
I want to use a custom assembly in my report expression.
I have created a class library and built it. Then what do I do next.
Can yu be a little more explicit since I am a novice.
Thanks
Sai
I created a class library which uses a web reference
My SSRS report uses the class through its custom code
I copied the dll & dll.config of the class library to the VS2005 private assembllies and the report works
I copied the dll & dd.config to the reportserver bin and gave the assembly full trust by adding the necessary code group
I even added a code group the give the dll.config file full trust as well
Yet on Repost server, the report does not work
Any ideas
I suspect it is a permission problem
For custom authorization, I am overwriting the CheckAccess method.
But how do I know what I am trying to access in CheckAccess method? I need to know what report the check access method is trying to execute for our requirements.
How do I get that?
I need to implement custom security in reporting services. I have followed the standard example here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160724.aspx
I got authentication to work without too many problems, and it authenticates by querying my custom table. I want to also maintain my authorizations in the same manner. I want to be able to define in my own tables that user test1 has permission to view reports 1, 3, 5, and 8. User test2 can view reports 1,3,5,8, and 9. User test3 can view 1, 2, and 4. Etc.
The authorization extension, contained in my version of Authorization.cs is where I expected to be able to do this. I wanted to be able to write code that queries my own tables and says, "does this user have permission to view this item?" Getting the this user portion is easy as is obvious in the many checkAccess methods. But being able to tell what item I am currently dealing with has proved impossible from the context of Authorization.cs, which implements IAuthorizationExtension. Knowing what type of item I am dealing with is obvious, but I need to know something that uniquely identifies the exact item I am dealing with.
How can I determine in checkAccess or any of the other available methods what "thing" they are looking at? What can I examine to determine that for instance this particular authorization request is against "Report 1"? It seems that if I was allowed to completely override Authentication to use my tables, I should be able to override Authorization to do the same. Is this possible or am I missing something?
Can anyone help? Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need some help regarding Custom Colors implementation for Charts in the Reporting Services.
What we are trying to do is to make every color for every Series(see example below) to be a customized Corporate color.
For example each of the series on the Chart should be in specific Custom Color:
Series 1 - "LightBlue"
Series 2 - "LightYellow"
Series 3 - "DarkBrown"
All I found from MSDN is how to do it in the Chart Properties in a Code section (right click on the report outside the chart -> Properties -> Code tab -> paste the Custom Code ).
And then to use it in the Chart color definition as:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Series# )
But we are trying to do it in a separate C# class that would be updated only in one place, instead of changing 30 reports each time something is changed. So that it could be generic.
The C# class:
Code Snippet
namespace CustomColorPalette
{
public class CustomPalette
{
public CustomPalette()
{
}
public static string GetColor(string GroupingValue)
{
int groupingValue = int.Parse(GroupingValue);
string[] colorPalette = {"Green", "Blue", "Red"};
if (groupingValue < colorPalette.Length)
{
return colorPalette.GetValue(groupingValue).ToString();
}
else
{
return "Black"; // if # of Series is more than defined - all undefined will be = Black color
}
}
}
}
I tried 2 different ways:
1.
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Public Function GetColor(SeriesNumber as String)
Return CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette.GetColor(SeriesNumber)
End Function
And in the Chart Custom Color settings I put:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I get an error:
Error 303 [rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 2 of custom code: [BC30451] Name 'CustomColorPalette' is not declared. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
2.
Second way I tried:
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Dim X As CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
X = new CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette()
End Sub
And in the Chart Custom Color I put:
Code Snippet=Code.X.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I am getting an error like this:
Error 302 [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the chart €˜chart2€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'X' is not a member of 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy'. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
Is there any workaround? Or all I can do is to make the Custom Colors manually in each report, and if something need to be changed - I will need to change it in each report separately
Thanks,
Alex

Hi all,
We are displaying an SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report in our ASP.NET 1.1 application by accessing the report through URL and embedding the same in an iframe HTML web control. The user can export the report contents into CSV format by making use of the export functionality provided by Reporting Services.
Now we have been asked to display a warning mesage to the user when the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million i.e. if the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million and the user tries to export the report to CSV format by clicking on the "Exprot" link button, we need to display a warning message to the user.
My doubt is whether this can be done in Reporting Services. Are there any programmatic interfaces exposed by Reporting Services which might help us implement this requirement ?
Thanks,
CodeKracker.
I was trying to write a custom legend text for a chart that I have in SSRS. In the chart I have a Bar chart and a Line chart. I have two values coming from a dataset. One is a running value. All the series values are from year dataset.
I need to get a custom legend text for the three data series looking like this. "2013- Mth", "2014-Mth". Year should be dynamic and coming from the dataset.
I tried writing an expression in the series legend option as shown below.
But I don't get the required text for the chart. I only get the default series text for the legend. If I only write a text without the dynamic year taken from the dataset columns I get the custom text. But not when I concatenate the dynamic year series with the static text. Any property to enable/disable?
Is it possible to do custom sort for a Column Group?
i.e. if the columns are coming out as A Â B Â C, is it possible to change it B Â C Â A Â (or anything else).Â

Below is code I am using to create a heatmap in SSRS. THe code seems to be working well except for one glitch. Sometimes numbers in the "middle of the pack" are white. Obviously they should be one the of colors listed below. Why numbers would be white when I declared only white for IsNothing.Â
 Public Function GetHeatmapColor(ByVal textBoxValue, ByVal minDataSetValue, ByVal maxDataSetValue) As String
    Dim colours As String() = New String() {"White","DarkGreen","Green","ForestGreen","LimeGreen","YellowGreen","Yellow","Gold","Orange","DarkOrange","OrangeRed","Red"}
        If IsNothing(textBoxValue) = True Then
      Return colours(0)
[Code] ....
I am not sure if this is possible or not, we have two datasets and each one has an additional calculated field which breaks the value JobBilledExVAT into three years.
So it reports for example how much we billed in May 2015, 2014 and 2013.
I have got the table to display this when reporting on one dataset by grouping by year
The datasets both look similar to thisÂ
SELECT
 Practice.ibvSalesByJob.JobBilledExVAT
 ,Practice.ibvSalesByJob.[Year]
FROM
 Practice.ibvSalesByJob
 INNER JOIN Practice.idvJobType
[Code] ...
The calculated field isÂ
=Switch(Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Year.Value ,"15", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre1Year.Value ,"14", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre2Year.Value ,"13")
The field I am looking to add together is below
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value)
If I do the below on the dataset associated with the matrix it displays the sum for each year correctly, I would however like to add the Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) from a different dataset (ABS1M) for the relevant year.
I tried this
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) + Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ABS1M")
However this adds 2015, 14 and 13 from ABS1M and doesn't add them individually if that makes sense? With the calculated field it only shows Year under the main dataset heading not 15, 14 and 13 separately.
I was think of using LOOKUP however I don't know how this would work as 15, 14 and 13 are not displayed under the dataset.
Is Custom code of Sql Reporting services will only support VB Coding? Can't we use Java Script coding into the custom code of SQL Reporting services?
I've made a Report porting from SS2008 to SS2008.
In a textbox I use a:
Number -> Custom Format
like these:
=Code.FormatString(Fields!NumDecRpt.Value)
but gives me the "Unrecognized identifier" red squiggle.
My FormatString function (in the rdl file) is this:
Public Shared Function FormatString(ByVal Decimals as object) As String
 dim format = "N0"
 if not (Decimals is nothing or Decimals is System.DBNull.Value) then
   dim decs as integer
   decs = Convert.ToInt32(Decimals)
   if decs>0 then
     format = "N"+decs.ToString()
   end if
 end if
 return format
End Function
What's wrong with this?
This is a subject that has been brought up before but I have not seen a definitive answer/solution.
We have implemented a custom authentication extension (forms authentication) for reporting services and it has been working just fine under "normal" conditions; "normal" being users logging in, viewing reports, and then moving on.
Recently some reports were created by our report group and they contain Dundas gauge controls for "dashboard" style reports. These reports are meant to be up all day and they post back every few seconds because the data they present is mission critical.
This of course exposed the inability of the reportviewer control to stay in the context of Report Manager when it comes to the cookie exchange and authentication thus resulting in the following error:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object
moved to <a
href="/ReportServer/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2freportserver%2fReportExecution2005.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
I created a quick ASP.NET web application and added the reportviewer to it, implemented IReportServerCredentials and the report came up as expected but behaved the same way as it did in Report Manager. Same with a Windows Forms application.
Increasing the cookie timeout in the forms authentication tag is an option, but not an attractive one. Extending the reportviewer control is also an option, but I don't know if that is a good candidate right now because I don't see anything extensible yet.
Is this just the nature of RS with custom authentication or is there a viable solution out there right now?
Any and all answers are much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

.NET Permissions Error in Reporting Services when not using a custom assembly:
I need help resolving a permissions error I€™m taking in a SQL RS 2005 report.
I have a report that that is includes the following code fragment in Report Properties -> Code:

Dim rtfcontrol As New System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox
Try
rtfcontrol.Rtf = rtf
Return rtfcontrol.Text
Catch ex as Exception
Return ex.Message

I have a text box with the following expression:
=code.rtf2text(First(Fields!EndingQuoteComment.Value, "QuoteHeader"))
And I€™ve verified, by removing the code.rtf2text command that is populated with the following:
{

When I run the preview in Visual Studio is correctly strips the RTF and displays just €œ** Ending Quote Comments **€?. When I €˜RUN€™ locally or deploy to a SQL RS 2005 Server and run the report I take the following error:
Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.UIPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension  with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting  just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
