We have developed several reports using VS 2005 and deployed them to our SQL 2005 reporting server. As most of our reports use date parameters we would like to incorporate a calendar control to allow users to select their date range as opposed to typing them in. I have done some reseach online but can only find vague references on how to do this. Has anyone out there been able to successfully deploy a calendar control onto an SQL report? Thanks!
I have 3 parameters in the report. When user selects 1st one from dataset, one of the fields gives me object creation date. Calendar control is supposed to be filtered to allow users select the dates greater than selected one.
How can I filter (disable dates in) calendar control?
The Calendar control that is used to select dates on a parameterized report that runs on a report server has been disabled for Safari. Users must type the dates that they want to use. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156511.aspx
Does anyone know the reason why this was disabled? Will/Can it be enabled? I have clients that desire this functionality. How do I "Make a Suggestion" for the next release?
Hi,I m trying to implement a calendar, where you can select certain dates and view list of events for that day. The list is generated from database. I found a script on the web that is quite similar to what i want to achieve. I tried to run this script, however I get an exeption saying:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. .... error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)This is the code:SqlConnection mycn; SqlDataAdapter myda; DataSet ds = new DataSet(); DataSet dsSelDate; String strConn; private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Put user code to initialize the page here strConn = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=pubs"; mycn = new SqlConnection(strConn); myda = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * FROM EventsTable", mycn); myda.Fill(ds, "Table"); //This where I get the exeption } protected void CalendarDRender(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DayRenderEventArgs e) { // If the month is CurrentMonth if (!e.Day.IsOtherMonth) { foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { if ((dr["EventDate"].ToString() != DBNull.Value.ToString())) { DateTime dtEvent = (DateTime)dr["EventDate"]; if (dtEvent.Equals(e.Day.Date)) { e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PaleVioletRed; } } } } //If the month is not CurrentMonth then hide the Dates else { e.Cell.Text = ""; } } private void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { myda = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from EventsTable where EventDate='" + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString() + "'", mycn); dsSelDate = new DataSet(); myda.Fill(dsSelDate, "AllTables"); if (dsSelDate.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 0) { DataGrid1.Visible = false; } else { DataGrid1.Visible = true; DataGrid1.DataSource = dsSelDate; DataGrid1.DataBind(); } } Can some one tell me what is wrong with the code.Thank You WATCH THIS SPACE
I'm running SSRS reports on my local server - having deployed them locally. The calendar control is rendering dates in US format, i.e. 03/31/2008 and I need the British format of 31/03/2008.
The weird thing is that when I access the reports using the link:
produces the US format. My Regional setting is using English UK and the server is British English. What on earth is going on here? By the way cbada00272 is synonymous with localhost.
Hello. Is there any way to stop the web page from refreshing when selecting a date from the calendar control in SSRS 2005? I've done some digging around, and the only 'fix' found so far is to set the default date values from a dataset; which I've done, but Im still seeing the same results. I have a Start and End date parameter, both defined as datetime parameters, neither have any dependencies on any other report parameters, no cascading between any parameters in the report....nothing; as generic as it comes. I see there is an onclick Javascript event firing everytime a date is selected from this control. Is this what is causing the page refresh? Is there no way to turn this behavior off?
Inside my SQL 2005 database I have a SmallDateTime with the layout "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM" and then on a selected date of a calendar control it returns the date with 12:00:00 AM which obviously doesn't match with my database's time.
So, I'm looking for a way to drop the time off completely (for the query purpose) the database date when running a select statement. I don't want to touch SQL table data by modifying it, I just want to be able to query sql table using calendar control. Does anyone now how to accomplish this? Thank you in advance. - Nietzky
I'm creating a report with a Datetime parameter. There's no available values, so the calendar control comes out automatically when I run/preview the report. Now, when I select the date in my calendar control, say for example I select 2/5/07 (2nd of May) and run the report, it gives me data from 5th of Feb. Can anyone help me with this date format problem ???
Not sure if it's related to my problem, I did edit the language tag in the XML source code of my report to have en-AU so that the dates field is showing in the correct dd/mm/yyyy format.
I defined my input parameter as date/time but it doesn't have a time picker where we can accept user input.
The calendar is great but time picker is missing.
Is there any add-in or tweaks I can use to get that feature ?
The alternative solution which uses drop down with some preset values are not feasible for me. All I need is just the time picker similar to adjust time in Windows.
Hi All, I am placing a Matrix inside the table control for grouping requirements,but when we export the report to the Excel, the contents inside the table cell are ignored. Is there any way to get the full report exported, as per the Requirement.Please help me with this issue.
I have thought about this, and I cannot in my head come up with a way to create this. Maybe I am thinking about it too much, or maybe it is this difficult and I will need a 3rd party tool.
My users have requested a SQL Reporting Services report that looks like a calendar. Each page will be one month on the calendar. And then the data will fall on the calendar according to a date field in the database. It should not be all that difficult, but I cannot think of a way to acheive this.
Has anyone tried to build a report that is basically just a calendar, and each page is a month of the calendar? If so, did you build it using the standard SQL reporting services tools, or did you purchase a 3rd party vendor?

The user would enter the start date, in this case the 1st Jan 07 and then this would populate a table. This seems like it should be so simple but I can't work it out, can anyone help please?
I am trying to find the best way to use a date parameter on a OLAP report and get the calendar pop to be used instead of a dropdown.
Whenever I change from string to datetime for the parameter I (of course) get an error about different data types, since OLAP is returning the fields as strings and formatted.
Any easy (or best) approach to use to get a calendar pop to work with an OLAP report? I am mainly doing this for date range searches and do not want people to pick from huge dropdowns for dates.
I'm using Cube.My DimDate tables Datekey is integer .But client wants a calendar to set date as you see in picture .how can I change calendar value which will be input by user.
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).
Do I need the report server running in order view a SSRS report in a report viewer control? I've created my report in .net and it works great when I'm viewing it in visual studio, but can I run it my web app without the report server.
I have a matrix report NESTED inside a "List" control. I want to put a reference in the text box in the matrix report to a dataset field in the List control. How? Thanks.
Hi all. Looking for information on whether or not the control/navigation bar that appears at the top of the report view can be changed. I am specifically looking to remove it and assign its controls to other .net or html controls/objects. For example, the control bar has the arrow for viewing the next page. Instead of that, perhaps I might like to have a hyperlink etc somewhere else on the page that performs the same functionality. I have searched and searched for information on this but haven't been having much luck. It's kind of a difficult thing to search for due to ambiguous key words "control bar" "navigation" etc.
Not looking for specific info as to how to go about doing it, more like: what is possible and where can I go to find the specifics.
I'm working on a project where the client wants us to create custom charts which have features not found in the standard Reporting Services charts. I would like to use flash to build this and have found an existing flash charting package for which I have the code and which I plan to expand.
Here's the problem:
The client wants to include these charts in his Reports. Is there some way to add a flash control to a report so that it will appear on the web page as a fully-functional flash presentation, which can then be included when printing or exporting?
The alternative, would be to figure out some means of generating the chart using flash outside of the report, exporting a bitmap of the chart and then saving the bitmap to a known location on the file system so It can be referenced by a report. This has some serious complications, and may not be feasible.
Is there an ActiveX control for the Report Designer available so I can just drop it into my program so the user can edit or add reports without buying the Business Intelligence Studio or Visual Studio 2005? I understand I'll have to pay royalties on this but depending on the cost I am open to it.
I am trying to use the Report Viewer Control in an ASPX page but getting the following error "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method". This is with September CTP of SQL Server 2005. I am not trying to set any DTD, the same report works if displayed using the WinForm viewer control...so I am not sure why this is happening. is there any samples available for using the Report Web viewer control in an aspx page? Thanks Krishna
I have not heard any news on this topic elsewhere so thought I would ask here....
I would like to gain control over parameters in terms of:
1. Parameter placement as in how many parameters on a row, not just 2. It would be nice to be able to specify a row number in the defintiion of a parameter for example.
2. Access to the parameter text via a custom assembly to support multi-langauge reports.
I know other folks have talked about these things and some of us 'hope they are coming one day'...I was wondering if that day might be any closer now?
I'm using Report Viewer Control and everything works fine. But my problem is I have the same report shown two ways, handout/grid . Handout has less columns and grid has way more.
Now how can I accomplish this task ? I was thinking maybe have two subreports within the one main and hide/unhide accordingly based on user selection of handout or grid.
The problem is all my attempts are unsuccessful.
I will really appreciate if someone can help me on this.
Hello everyone, I have a report that has a "Jump to report:" link in it and in the report it jumps to there is another "Jump to report:" link. When I click on this link I get the following error.
The path of the item '(null)' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
I have tried moving the link from the header to the body of the report with the same results.
This is only happening in the web reportviewer control as our windows app works flawlessly.
We are running SQL SERVER 2005 SP2.
Does anyone have a fix, workaround or idea how to resolve this issue?
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!!!
//Refresh the report in order to show it to the user.
reportViewer.RefreshReport();
The problem is that both handout and grid is diiferent, Say User Selects the grid once it always shows the grid report. Even second time you change to handout still it shows the same Grid format and I debugged it and it picks the new report path but doesn't help? The application needs to be rerun to fix it.
Can anyone explain what is causing this and how to get rid of it.
I am running an ASP.NET 2.0 Reportviewer Control with VS2005 Created reports and SQL server 2005 on my website. Users are complaining that it takes a long time for the control to load and the reports to show on their browser. I tried it and it takes longer the first time the control loads. If the user keeps generating reports, the speed problem goes away but it comes back it seems after the Cache has expired? Any ideas on what to do so the ReportViewer Control loads faster? Can I pre-load it on users machines?
