I have a problem in which I would like to use the value of the togglestate property for textbox in embedded code to drive some other logic.
My first question is, "Can it be done?" and if so, how?
I'm developing an SSRS report using VS2013 Premium with SSDT - BI v12.0.2430.0. SSRS is hosted on a SQL 2014 instance.The underlying database table has a varchar(max) field which stores text and embedded image data from a third-party application. I can extract this text, save it as an html file and open that in a browser. It renders complete with any embedded image.Meanwhile, the report textbox has its Placeholder Properties, Markup type set to HTML. Yet when I run the report, the text is displayed but any embedded image is not.Is there any approach I can take, perhaps transforming the varchar(max) data to another format in the query for my dataset, that can show the text and any embedded image in my report? Or is it that the TextBox control is limited, not unreasonably, to text only? If so, is there another control I could use, perhaps custom or third-party?

Hi all,
Could someone tell me if custom code function can capture the event caused by a user? For example, onclick event on the rendered report?
Also, can custom code function alter the parameters of the report, or refresh the report?
Thanks.
Is it possible to have a sql select statment in the embedded code in a report?

In my report, I have a table with a nested group. The inner most group contains a column with values that are dynamically calculated in the report. I would like the outer group to display the sum of the inner group values. However, the outer group does not have access to the inner group scope.
As a solution, I am attempting to use the method detailed at this site:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1129743&SiteID=1
Essentially, the method is to declare a hash table in the embedded code where data can be stored. I slightly modified the code to the following:
Code Block
Public Dim hashTable as new System.Collections.HashTable
function setValue(key As Object, value As Object) As Object
If (Not hashTable.ContainsKey(key)) Then hashTable.Add(key, value)
Return value
end Function
function getValue(key As Object) As Object
If (hashTable.ContainsKey(key)) Then Return hashTable(key) Else Return Nothing
end Function
function sumRunningValue(key As Object, value As Object) As Object
If (Not hashTable.ContainsKey(key)) Then hashTable.Add(key, value) Else hashTable(key) = hashTable(key) + value
Return hashTable(key)
end Function
Inside the inner scope everything works great and I can even get the runnning value. But the reason I did this was to be able to access the value in the outer group. But, it doesn't work! When I call Code.getValue(key) I get Nothing back.
So, it seems this is a scope issue. Is anyone aware of a work around for this problem. Is it possible to declare the hashtable with a global scope, for instance? Is the code redeclared for every new group?
Thanks for any assistance,
Tyler
Hi,
I was wondering if there's a way to connect to a shared datasource in the Code section of a report's properties. I want to connect using my shared datasource as defined in my solution and query it to return a value based on user input for a function I need to put there.

Hi,
I have a problem that seems impossible to resolve in RS but i need to be sure.
I'm creating an Embedded Code in VB of course, and i need to run a query within my code to be able to continue the rest of the code depending on the result of my query.
The problem is there is no adodb.recordset or adodb.connection like in normal VB.
So i created my query like as string:
Dim Sql as String
Sql="Select ..." into "from ........where...."
At this point if it was in normal VB,
i would do
MyConnection.Execute(SQL)
and then i will get the answer in my recordset.
I need to know if there is a way in RS to run my query since I cannot use use adodb ....
If it's not really possible, is there way to go around this problem????
Thanks for the Help

Hi,
I've developed a matrix report with two row groups. The second is visible or hidden depending on the toggle status of the first. I have set the navigation properties of the detail field to display a report of the underlying detail. I want to pass the current toggle state of the first row group to the details report as a boolean parameter. I this possible? I don't seem to have access to this property within the expression or code editors.
I'd be happy, as an alternative that implies the same thing, to pass the hidden / visible state of the second group.
Thanks,
Ian.
I want to add up the values in a couple of text boxes in another textbox. How do I refer to the textboxes?
fields!textbox1.value doesn't work..what does?
Hi!
I dont know if i will explain this correctly, but my problem is with reporting service.
I'm supposed to Sum value in one textbox and than that sum use it in sum in other textbox.
Something like this:
Sum(Fields!Abc.Value/(Fields!dfg.Value+Sum(Fields!abc.Value)),"matrix1_RowGroup1")*100
I get error msg 'The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox49' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.'
Something like this wont work either Sum(Fields!abc.Value/ReportItems("textbox56").Value)*100
Error The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox55' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
So, pls help if you know how to reference textbox in other in body of report.
Thx.
I have a DTS package that transfers some columns defined as varchar(8000).
Sometimes, the values in the columns defined this way have embedded CR/LF in them. When they do, DTS does not always transfer the values to the target.
Any idea why? Workarounds? TIA.
Why is using an embedded SELECT statement faster than using an embedded UDF that has the same exact SQL code within?
Example (not syntax corrected)
Ex1:
SELECT myValue1, myValue2 FROM myTable WHERE aValue = (SELECT Value FROM someTable WHERE myIndex = 800)
is much faster than something like
Ex2:
SELECT myValue1, myValue2 FROM myTable WHERE aValue = (dbo.FN_myUDF(@vmyIndex))
Given that dbo.FN_myUDF has the same code as the embedded select in the first example.
TIA,

I'm looking into a problem a friend is having, and I'll say right offthe bat that I work with with php and MySQL, and not MS SQL.What he is attempting to do (in MS SQL) is take two database fieldsfrom a table (string fields), multiply them together, and put them intoa third field. This third column in the table has not yet been createdthe time of running the query.If it needs to be multiple queries, that is fine. My first thought isto use a simple ALTER query to add the column to the table, then tocall a UPDATE function which uses a select statement inside of it. I'mnot sure if something like this can even be done.// ------------ Suggested queryUPDATE chrisslu SET 'discquantity' = '(SELECTchrisslu.quantity*chrisslu.nr_of_discFROM chrissluWHERE (str(period,6)>=? AND str(period,6)<=?))' WHERE(str(period,6)>=?Andstr(period,6)<=?)// ------------ End Suggested queryIt starts with an UPDATE, but replaces the value to be set with aSELECT statement. I honestly don't even think this query issyntactically correct, I'm just trying to get the general concept down:).So, question the first: Is this type of query possible? The reasonI'm doing this is because I was told MS SQL has no way of storingtemporary variables... otherwise I would just call a SELECT statement,store the variable, and UPDATE the new field from the variable afterthe ALTER statement.Second question: If it is possible, am I on the right track, or doesit need to be entered in completely different than what I have?Third: Regarding the 'type'. Do I need to do any kind of typecastingor conversion of the fields? Both chrisslu.quantity andchrisslu.nr_of_disc are string fields (that is what I was told, theymay be varchar of some kind). In order to use them in a mathstatement, do they have to be floats, or doubles, or something similar?I appreciate any response, I know this was a long winded question.Chris

Hi there!
I've an embedded image (logo) in my report, and in the preview it looks wonderful, but after deploy the logo doesnt appear in the report (report server).
The url of the dead-link-image is http://hamsql1/Reports$BI/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?.
I thought that an embedded image is stored "in" the report, but it seems to be an other place. Is it nessecary to deploy an embedded image too? Is it a problem of permissions (i read it in another threat)? How to set these image-see-permission? Or is there an other problem?
Every idea is very welcome!

Hi,
I am trying to find something like a light version of SQL Server 2k to store data for an application that will be distributed through a cd.
Since we also have a web front end for this application when the user is online, we prefer that we can reuse the code for connection on both the cd and the web.
Any idea what will work?
I have come accross MSDE 2k but was not able to find any documentation on the pros and cons for this product regarding its capacity, the type of data it can handle, security, ...
Please give me some pointer.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
I have a report with background embedded image. I have placed few textboxes on top of them to display data. Every time I set the location of the textbox, it is behaving strangely by rendering at one location one time and changing location next time when it is rendered. I am viewing it in PDF format.
How can I fix the location of textboxes that renders at one location all the time ?

Hi,
documentation states, that Windows XP Embedded (XPe) is not supported by any SQL Server 2005 Edition (as I intend to use the Epress Edition on that platform, I post to this forum).
So, why is that? Is it just not tested or are there technical reasons for it? What are these reasons? What works and what doesn't on XPe? May XPe be supported in any later version?
thanks,

I am building a mobil application using Windows XP embedded. I need a database that will run on xp embedded as follows:
Client mode: Sometimes connected to server(local) sometimes disconnected.
Server Mode: Ready access to database from client and system running server.
Client must be able to switch to server mode in event of failure.
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded on the Server?
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded on the Client?
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded in a failover mode?
If it does not support this type of operation then what mobile database will support XP Embedded in all modes stated above?

Hello,
Im doing research for my company for a project we are about to start, but the more I find, the more Im confusing myself. Maybe someone would be so nice to help me a little.
We need a database solution, either licensing (ISV) or i think maybe an embedded database. if its licensing, its not a problem, but after research, im thinking licensing would be a waste of time or too much and theire not enough information to go by just that.
Problem: Need to develop software for a client where there will be around 300 users using the system (not all at once neccisarrily). We are creating this software for them and they want to re-sell it after completion, but they do not want to make their customers purchase a database for the purchase of their software. (because of all types of licensing). We need the database RUNTIME to run on the customers machine to make the software work.
Is there a RUNTIME license for Independant-Software-Vendor(IVS) for redistribution? or would it make sense to embed a database ( for example, the free edition of sql server;embeeded feature :), or maybe firebird embedded database?) We are developing in Visual Studio 2005.
This might sound confusing, thats where im at. For those of you with more experience, hopefully you understand what im talking about.
Thank you. I have 2 days to find a solution. Ill continue looking and post in thread if i find anything new or clearify my problem.
