Hi,
I'm building a custom Data Processing Extension (DPE), and I was hoping test it inside Visual Studio report designer, instead of doing it on the server side in Reporting Services.
Note that I have gotten the RS configuration working.
Does anyone know how to set this up for VS?
Thanks!
...and Report Builder?
I have SQL Server 2005 Express and Reporting Services and Report Manager up and running...
Thanks
How do I install the report designer in Visual Studio 2008?
Edit: I mean, how do I install the SQLRS 2005 Report Designer in Visual Studio 2008?
Hi everyone!
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to design reports. Is there any way to use one single image as background for a whole report-page? I only managed to set seperate background images for page header, body and footer, so the only 2 possibilities to solve this problem would be to either
* divide the image into 3 parts so that they fit exactly to the page parts or
* not use any page header and footer.
Is there another possibility that I've missed?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Calad
Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.
The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.
I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed
Hi all
I have some performance issues when developing Integration Service Package ...
It is very very slow for example when I try to add new connection in
Connection Manages, it takes about 2 minutes just to open the property window.
On another pc in the same environment it works ok.
In the past I have doing a lot of SSIS Packages ... Is there any cache to empty ??
Thanks for any comments

In the Visual Studio Query designer against a ce 3.1 sdf file, if I type in
SELECT DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1
FROM CropYear
The designer updates it to
SELECT [DATEPART](yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1
FROM CropYear
Which results in an error
SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL Statement: SELECT [DATEPART](yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1 FROM CropYear
Error Source: SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider
Error Message: There was an error parsing the query. [Token line number = 1, Token line offset = 19, Token in Error = (]
The original query works fine as long as I don't user the query designer to edit it.
The same problem occurs with DATEADD, DATEDIFF and DATENAME.
Any ideas?

I've got a SQL2008 database with 2008R2 Express loaded.
In VS2012 if I right click a table and select New Query, I get the Visual Designer.
In VS2013, same database, I get a blank page
I've tried a fresh install of 2012 and 2013 onto a fresh Win8.1, same thing. SQL2012 Express, same. If I use an LocalDB option, again no tools. I've tried Ultimate to see if it's something not in Pro.
Also the "code only" query doesn't connect me to the file properly, so even if I accept doing the query by hand, I have to paste a connection string every time.
I'm expecting it to do as per VS2012, and the VS2013 pages in [URL] My database is an attached file from an ASP.NET project App_Data folder.

Hello everyone,
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.
Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

Hi
I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.
1. Custom connection manager.
I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.
2. Custom Task
I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package.
The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.
So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.
I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as
framesList = new List<IVsWindowFrame>();
toolWindowNames = new List<string>();
// Get the UI Shell service
IVsUIShell uiShell = (IVsUIShell)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsUIShell));
// Get the tool windows enumerator
IEnumWindowFrames windowEnumerator;
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(uiShell.GetToolWindowEnum(out windowEnumerator));
IVsWindowFrame[] frame = new IVsWindowFrame[1];
uint fetched = 0;
int hr = VsConstants.S_OK;
// Note that we get S_FALSE when there is no more item, so only loop while we are getting S_OK
while (hr == VsConstants.S_OK)
{
// For each tool window, add it to the list
hr = windowEnumerator.Next(1, frame, out fetched);
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(hr);
if (fetched == 1)
{
// We successfully retrieved a window frame, update our lists
string caption = (string)GetProperty(frame[0], (int)__VSFPROPID.VSFPROPID_Caption);
toolWindowNames.Add(caption);
framesList.Add(frame[0]);
}
}
But i looked up the methods for IVsWindowFrame and it does not have anything to refresh the contents of the frame.
I thought about firing events but cannot find which one to fire.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have written a report visual studio. The report has 10 multi-value parameters that pull data from their individual data sets within the reports. When running the report from within Visual Studio it renders fine. There are no errors reported, only a warning related to a pathname I have use to retrieve image data and display on the report.Deployment of the report is error free.When I view the report I briefly get the "Loading" splash window, but then nothing. None of the headers or static text is displayed. The results window is blank.
The report defaults all the parameter values. In trying to debug the issue I have found by reducing the number of parameter values the report will render. Once I have all the values added, the report does nothing.Below is the query being used for the report. The where clause in the query shows the parameters being used and the syntax.We are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

I am having a hard time finding the report path for the web report Viewer in visual studio 2005. I have tried entering the absoute path to the folder containing the reports. this gave the error that the path is invalid. I have also tried reletive paths using / and // in the front of the name for each report. these all fail. could someone please assist with finding the path to the reports? the reports reside on another server away from the one being used for development of the web site.

Hi,
Is there any mean to disable the visual studio ide clearing of report parameters everytime you preview the report?
Thanks.
Greetings,
I have a report that was previously deployed to a reporting services host (running Reporting Services 2005 SP2) and I'm running the version of Visual Studio that came with reporting services on the same reporting serviceshost. The deployed report was never opened on this particular server, so it doesn't appear in the recent files list. Is there a trick to open a deployed report in all of Visual Studio's report editing glory? Visual Studio has a File Open option to open an analysis services database, a project, or a file. A "deployed report" seems to be none of these options since it's an RDL file stored somewhere that IIS can find it. I know that I can use Report Manager and export the RDL for the report and then edit that RDL file in Visual Studio, but doing that appears to disable all of Visual Studio's report editing features (ie it works no better than notepad). What's the trick to get Visual Studio to open the deployed report and allow all of it's editing tools to work properly and then save the updated report back to the reporting services server?
Thanks,
Ron
Wasted a lot of time figuring out the possible cause of this. I was working in connected mode (with VSS), and when it tried to create a Report Model (after doing all its validations/checks), it had to check-out the project file, which is normal. But before doing so, it tries to check-out the .dsv file as well (data source view file from which report model is being generated). While attempting this, the visual studio crashes.
I could never guess that this could be an issue. All the time I was trying to figure out if there was anything wrong with the data in my tables.
So, for me, a simple solution worked - check-out the .dsv file before you start creating data model. I hope this may save time for others...
microsoft.reportviewer.design for Version 12 (2014) The redistributable package is just that, and does not include this dll So Visual Studio cannot create a V12 object.
The workaround is to use V11 and patch the inserted code.
Where can we download the design dll?
When I launch Visual Studio 2005 and choose to start a new project...I expect to see "Report Model" as an available template (at least that is what my book says).
How can I install this?
Why is it missing? Is it due to the order of my installations? I installed RS first then Visual Studio.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Has anybody ever had VS2005 sometimes crash when deploying reports? It only happens once and awhile, but it is annoying. I was hoping this would go away with service pack 1, but it didn't.
Another problem that I thought would be fixed is when you try to close VS2005 after working on reports and it states "Cannot close because an active modal is active" occasionally.

Hi guys
I seem to be having a bit of trouble deploying my reports from my Reporting Services Project in Visual Studio to my Sharpoint server.
Both the reporting server and sharepoint are installed on the same server.
The settings within my reporting server are as follows (where report is the site name):
TrargetDataSourceFolder - https://server/Report/Shared Documents/DataSources
TrargetReportFolder - https://server/Report/Shared Documents
TrargetServerURL - https://server/Report
I have not yet changed over all my reports to use fully qualified urls yet. As we have multiple domains in which the reports need to go through before they hit the production server and i haven't yet decided how i am going to handle the issues of the reports requiring fully qualified addresses (if someone has a way i would love to know).
I was getting the following error when i tried to deploy the projects but i delete all extensions from the blocked file types and that error went away. I can only guess that there was a file type it didn't like.
Error - "The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators."
When i deleted all the file extensions i now get the following error.
Error - "File Not Found."
Just wondering if anyone has had any success with visual studio and sharepoint deployment or run into this problem.
Thanks

I created and deployed a report to my Report Server and everything is functioning fine. However, my laptop was inadvertantly wiped when I was having it serviced and I had not backed up this report to VSS. Is there a way to import that deployed report back in to Visual Studio or do I have to basically rebuild my report from scratch?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an assignment where I am asked to create a test report with Cascaded parameters in a report for use on an Intranet. Found a good guide on a site named slqtips. The only problem is, that when I have created my data source, my data sets and my queries, I should go to the window "Report parameter properties", for specifing the data which should be included in the choices in the report, and I cannot find it! As a matter of fact the milieu I work in, Report designer in Visual Basic Studio Shell 2013, on a MS SQL 2012 Server, looks different in many way compared to the guide. It actually also differs from the Pictures in the book "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services" I also try to use for the purpose.Am I perhaps working in the wrong place, or what can the problem be? Is this Visual basic 2013 Window some kind of upgrade which is different from the original version where you used to work with Report designer?

I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I have to at least ask.
I have a SQL Reporting Services project that has a QA server version and then a Production server version. So when requested changes are made to the reports, I make the changes in Visual Studio and then push to QA. After the changes have been tested and approved, I then push the changes to the Production server.
I have come across an issue, where requested changes were made in Visual Studio (a lot of changes), and pushed to QA. The users now have changed their minds and they want instead to stay with what is in production. So, I am looking for a way to recover the report file on the production web server, bring it back into my visual studio project to replace the report that I had changed.
Is this possible, or will I have to start over and step one and reverse the changes in Visual Studio.
Let me know.
Thank you,

View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm still quite a beginner with the Report Designer and now I have faced a problem. My goal is to make a reports refresh each time it is loaded. I know that this can be done by using rs:clearsession = true-method but in order this to work, it should be added to each link. There are a lots of links in the reports we are using and therefore it would be more practical to find another way to refresh the report on page load. Is there any way to do this with some kind of code attached to each report? I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and my Reporting services 2000.
I have converted the VS 2013 WinForm project to VS 2015. Once I installed it on client, report viewer is asking for Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms 12.0.0.0.With VS 2013 projects Report Viewer 2012 Runtime worked fine. I haven't been able to locate anywhere newer version of Report Viewer Runtime/

Hello.
I want to test my custom component with unit tests and i thought i must only initilize the component to play around with it. But when i calling the ProviderComponentProperties method and there the RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties method a NullReference exception is thrown. After debugging the test i had seen that the ComponentMetaData of the component is null. Is there a way to initilize the ComponentMetaData?
The Code of the Component looks like this:
Code Block
[DtsPipelineComponent(
DisplayName = "TestSourceAdapter",
ComponentType = ComponentType.SourceAdapter,
IconResource = "TestSourceAdapter.TestSourceAdapter.ico"
)]
public class TestSourceAdapter: PipelineComponent
{
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSOutput90 output = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
output.Name = "TestSourceAdapter";
ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection
["TestSourceAdapter"].ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = true;
ComponentMetaData.ValidateExternalMetadata = false;
ComponentMetaData.UsesDispositions = true;
ComponentMetaData.Name = "TestSourceAdapter";
ComponentMetaData.Description = "TestSourceAdapter";
ReinitializeMetaData();
}
...
}
And in test i call only this
Code Block
TestSourceAdapter testAdapter = new TestSourceAdapter();
_testAdapter.ProvideComponentProperties();
i hope anyone can help

Hello,
I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1
I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
Thanks
