Parameter Boxes Are Empty
Jan 5, 2007Hi,
I am have a reporting server which connects to a analysis server which connects to a sql server and a db2 server. I am using windows integrated security all the time except for the DB2 connection. That is a fixed username/password.
Reporting server (RS), analysis server (AS) and sql server are all on the same machine.
I created a local group and added the correct users to it.
I gave that group browse rights on the reports so that works correctly.
I created a role in AS and added that group to that role. Gave all read rights to that role.
I created a login for that group on the SQL server and gave that group db_datareader role.
When I connect as an administrator every reports runs fine.
When the test user connects they can browse the reports but the drop down boxes for the parameters are empty.
What goes wrong ?
With regards,
Constantijn Enders
If SqlDataSource.Select = Empty Then...?

Within A SELECT, How Do I Replace An Empty Or Null Value With A Value From Another Table?
Apr 20, 2008Hello,I'm a beginner in SQL and I have been searching through the SQL Cookbook and Google but I can't seem to find an example of what I want to do. I want to create a report that will return names and emails using two of my tables. I want to use the email in my primary table in the select but if it is null or empty I want to replace it with an email from my secondary table. Below is what I would like to do but I got a syntax error with it in SQL Server 2000. SELECT MemberID As ID, MemberFirstName As FirstName, MemberLastName As LastName, (IF MemberEmail = '' THEN SELECT TOP 1 OtherEmail FROM OtherTable WHERE OtherID = MemberID) As EmailFROM PrimaryTableThanks for your time.Jason

May 15, 2008
I am using a SQLDataSource with the following Select query. If the "spouse" values are not in the database, I get the HTML non-breaking-space character back, rather than an empty string.
SelectCommand="select applicant_id, (applicant_last_name + ', ' + applicant_first_name) as applicant_name, CONVERT(varchar(10), applicant_dob, 101) as applicant_dob, applicant_ssn, (spouse_last + ', ' + spouse_first) as spouse_name, CONVERT(varchar(10), spouse_dob, 101) as spouse_dob, spouse_ssn from applicant where applicant_last_name like '%'+@last_name+'%' order by applicant_last_name"
Here is the relevant code-behind:
TextBox tb = (TextBox)formView.FindControl("SpouseName");
tb.Text = e.Item.Cells[4].Text;
DatePicker dp = (DatePicker)formView.FindControl("SpouseDateOfBirth");
if (e.Item.Cells[5].Text.Length > 0)
{
try // this is a try/catch because nbsp is not parsed as a date
{
dp.DateValue = DateTime.Parse(e.Item.Cells[5].Text);
}
catch
{
dp.txtDate.Text = "";
}
}
tb = (TextBox)formView.FindControl("SpouseSocialSecurityNumber");
tb.Text = e.Item.Cells.Text;
Thoughts?

Updating Combo Boxes
Aug 7, 2006Hi, i have created a database in VB05, i have a form and a few combo boxes. I am a total newbie to this so i only know the total basics.
two tables i have are Ratings and films.
Ratings:
RatingID
Rating
Films:
filmID
Title
ratingID
above are the columns of my tables.
what i am trying to do is select a rating on the first combo box which will then only show the titles with that rating in the next combo box.
I have the whole database created, i have the relationships in place and the combo boxes are all connected to the datasources etc. The comboboxes are currently filled with data by the default sql query which is created. But it is showing the whole data for each when i only want to show the film titles for what rating is selected.
Could any one please help.
Drop Down Boxes For Dates
Jun 27, 2007I have created several reports using sql server that have the end user enter a start and end date to run the query. I was just wondering if there was a way to just have a drop down/combo type box instead so the user could just pick the date instead of having to type one in.

SelectCommand Multi Text Boxes
Nov 7, 2007I would like a form that has 3 text boxes. These 3 boxes are going to be used for entering search criteria. The first box is for searching a field called CasePK. The second is for searching a field called LinePK and the third is for searching a field called DOS. DOS is a date field. The other two are text fields.I am using a SQLDATASOURCE and a Gridview. What will the SelectCommand look like so that I can search the 3 fields using the data from the textboxes?

Howdy all. I have a query with bizarre results in Query Analyzer.
Box1; 4 x 3.0 processors, 4 gigs of RAM. Results never come back.
Box2; 8 x 3.0 processors, 16 gigs of RAM. Results never come back.
Both of the above boxes are extremely under utilized. The absolute max amount of CPU being used is 25%. Box1 had 1 gig free RAM and Box2 had 7 gigs free RAM.
Box3; 1 x 3.0 processor, 1 gig of RAM. Results in 15 seconds.
Box4, all the same as box 3.
I took a backup of the DB and restored it from box to box to box, so I know everything is identical.
I once had a deadlock issue where I had to use the maxDop hint and tried that here, but it didn't help.
All ideas are appreciated.

How To Add Additional Functionality To Parameter Boxes
May 18, 2006Is there a way to add additional functionality to the report parameter boxes?
For example, when a user enters an invalid choice into a report parameter box, I want a popup balloon that tells them to try again.
I know how to do this for a regular Winform combobox, but can I implement an interface to override the default behavior of the report parameter boxes?
HTML Rendering For Lines On Boxes
Aug 7, 2007I need to create forms for my users containing boxes and lines. When I get the boxes/lines looking correctly for PDF printing, they look really whacked out in HTML view. I understand this is caused by overlapping objects (lines on top of boxes, etc.) I tried a test to see if I could use all lines. This is VERY difficult to get aligned correctly for HTML view. Once I got my test completed, the HTML looked ok -- not great, but the PDF rendering looked REALLY bad.
Is there a way to overlap objects and tell the package to 'group' all the objects as one (like in Word) for HTML rendering? I need to put a karge rectangular box with lines and textboxes on top of it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Of Multiple Parameters, SqlDataSource And Text Boxes
Feb 12, 2006Hi,Hope if someone can help me here. Keep in mind I an fairly new to .NET and SQL and am learning to break my MS Access habit :)
I have a web form that is using a SqlDataSource and a FormView control. In addition to this I have 2 text boxes. What I am trying to do is display results in the FormView based on what a user types into one of the Text Boxes (one or the other…Not both)
The SELECT statement in the SqlDataSource looks like this in concept.
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4FROM dbo.MYTABLEWHERE (Field1 = @Field1) AND (Field2 IS NULL)OR (Field2 = @Field2) AND (Field1 IS NULL)
I have the two text boxes pointing at the parameters (@Field1 and @Field2) so in theory I would expect that when a user populates one of the text boxes and clicks a button to databind the FormView it would display a record matching that criteria…. But it’s not all I get is a blank/missing FormView.
I tried different variations on the SQL statement and tried using = '' instead of IS NULL but still the same results. However, if I populate one text box with a value that I know is not in my table and populate the other with a value of which I know exists in my table is…It works.What am I missing?
Toggling Visibility Between Two Text Boxes In Ssrs
Oct 9, 2012how visibility can be toggled between two textboxes in ssrs? For example if textbox1 is visible and textbox2 is hidden initially and textbox2 should be visible when clicked on textbox1 and textbox1 should go invisible when textbox2 is shown... and then again when clicked on textbox2, textbox1 should be visible and textbox2 should go invisible.In a short, it is like switching visibility between 2 textboxes... A click on first textbox should display the second textbox and another click on second text box should display first text box.I cannot provide parameter as it is not there in the requirement. how to toggle the text within a single text box to fulfill above requirement...

Reporting Services :: Dynamic Positioning Of Text Boxes In SSRS
Sep 30, 2015I have a user table with Label and value fields where i would like to control the display of the text boxes based on the values selected in my user table.Can we adjust the text box positions dynamically based on the user table values.
Ex: Table
Label1 Field1 Label2 Field2 Label3 Field3
ID 100 Dept Sales
Report Design :
Label1: ID Field1:100
Label2: Field2:
Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
Expected Result :
Label1: ID Field1:100
Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
In my table i don't have values for Label 2 & Field 2 , can we adjust the spacing conditionally to be utilized by Label3 & Field3 in SSRS.
Note : Above mentioned data is just for an example and in my actual report i can have more than 3 columns and report is looking ugly with all the spacing if i don't have data in all the fields.
ALL And Empty Set
Sep 29, 2006SQL Server 2000 SP4. Hoping to find a logical explanation for a certainbehavior.Consider this script:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = 'CA')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'This, as expected, prints FALSE, since not all authors in CA are undercontract. Now, if the script is changed as follows:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'then the result is TRUE. In other words, the expression evaluates to TRUEwhen the select statement produces an empty set, which doesn't make senseto me. Even more interesting, the expressionNULL = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')still evaluates to TRUE (ANSI_NULLS is ON).Can anyone explain these results? Is this the expected behavior in the SQLstandard, or something that is specific to SQL Server? Thanks.--remove a 9 to reply by email
