Visual Studio 2005 Report Designer - Background Image
Apr 7, 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

Hi,
I'm using the SSRS report designer within VS2005 and I have a .rdl report that I have placed a background form as an image background. I then have text placed on top of the form, the problem is that everything is aligned within the report designer layout view but when I go to view the report in report preview the text no longer remains vertically aligned within the background form.
This is very frustrating, and almost makes it impossible to marry up a form with report data. Any help would be appreciated.

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!

I'm trying to deploy a report to Reporting Services, but I've found that there's a behaviour difference Visual Studio and Reporting Services with the Matrix control for the subtotals.
For the background color for the "textbox" on the cells, I've used the folowing expression:
=Iif(Fields!ID__vs_YAGO.Value < 1, "Red"
,Iif(Fields!ID__vs_YAGO.Value < 1.02, "Yellow"
,"GreenYellow"))
The individual cells alternate colors, based on the value in the cell. In Visual Studio, the Subtotal cells also alternate colors (which is correct). But when the report is deployed to Reporting Services, The Subtotal cells have a transparent background. (Incorrect).
If I set the same expression into the background setting for the Subtotal cells, the expression is evaluated once for the entire row and the entire row has the same color (different Subtotal lines will alternate). This is the same in both Visual Studio and Reporting Services.
I'm using SP2, 2005 (32 bit for Reporting Services). To ensure full compatibility, I've editted / deployed the report all on the same machine.
Does anyone know of this problem and how to resolve it?
Additional: In testing the various output formats, it seems to be a bug in the HTML rendering engine. PDF amd TIFF work fine. I believe Excel export uses either part of the HTML rendering engine or pieces of the same code base.
P.S. I'm detecting other reporting differences between Visual Studio and Reporting Services, such as how "null key records" (from Analysis Services) are handled in groups. Is there a compatibility list published somewhere?

Hi,
I have a background image I'm using as a form within my report. the problem is that I needed to reduce the resolution of the image to 96 dpi in order to work with it and line things up within the ssrs/vs2005 report editor. However because the image is only 96 dpi, it looks awful when I go to print. Is there a way I can make it use a different higher resolution version of this image for printing.. or what would someone suggest I do in order to get around this problem..
Thanks,

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?
Thanks

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.

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.

I am using VS2008 and trying to add an Image to a report (RDLC).
The documentation suggests the properties window for the Image field will have a Source and a Value field.
I cannot see them.
Elswhere, the documentation talks about an Image Wizard.
I cannot find that either.
I have added an Image to the Report's Embedded Images list.
How do I add an image to my RDLC?

I created a virtual directory in IIS that points to a folder on c: where my images reside. I use a URL to reference one of those images in my report heading. It appears as it should in designer's preview tab but only as a big red X in Report Viewer from my browser.
Directory security on the virtual directory is set to Integrated Windows.
Right clicking on red x in IE7>properties shows a path to report server instead of the special virtual directory I created.
RDL snippet shows:
<PageHeader>
<PrintOnFirstPage>true</PrintOnFirstPage>
<ReportItems>
<Image Name="image1">
<Sizing>AutoSize</Sizing>
<Top>0.125in</Top>
<Width>2.07292in</Width>
<MIMEType />
<Source>External</Source>
<Style />
<ZIndex>3</ZIndex>
<Left>0.25in</Left>
<Height>0.32292in</Height>
<Value>http://localhost/vddirectoryname/filename.BMP</Value>
</Image>
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

"Short" Story Version:
I have a VS 2005 Web Appplication solution that uses SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. One of the projects is a Report Server Project. In this project I have an RDL file that has:
1.)a non-shared XML DataSource (no credentials),
2.)a DataSet with a Command Type of Text and a Query String that is as follows:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Root>
<LOAD LOAD_ID_PREFIX="" LOAD_ID="" TRUCK="" DIAGRAM=""/>
</Root>
</XmlData>
</Query>
3.)a field that comes from the Database that is of VarBinary(Max) that is a JPEG Image
What happens is, is that by doing #2 above, at design time I can create tables and hook into my datasets and get the report all designed out the way I want. Then at runtime, I have a Stored Procedure that uses the "FOR XML AUTO" option so that I can represent my results from the database in an XML fashion which will allow me to replace the XML Schema in between the Root tags above (in #2) with my actual data (which still has the same schema). I then save the modified RDL to a database table field and move on to happily ever after......in this case, not. In this case, since an VarBinary is involved, unless I want to get a pointer back for the Diagram Column, I have to use the "FOR XML AUTO, BINARY BASE64" option. This returns an Encoded string to represent the Binary value that was in the Database....and this is the partial source of my angst....read on.
My approach that I described above worked flawlessly in all cases where an image wasn't involved. This report is the only report in the whole system I am working on that will have an image and it is the last one being done, so that's why I didn't run into this earlier.
I have tried all kinds of things at different levels, but the thing that I have tried that seemed to me to have the most potential was to use Embedded Code to take the Encoded ASCII Value and convert into something binary that the SSRS Reporting Engine likes (so my image will show), but I have been unsuccessful thus far. The error message I keep getting now from my Embedded Function is: "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array", which I have not been able to resolve thus far....and I do know that the Binary value in the database is good becuase I can see it in pages in my application otherwise.
This aside, is there anyone out there that knows how to take the value of a VarBinary(Max) field and insert it into the Text (XML) DataSet in the markup of an RDL file....and have it appear correctly when the report is rendered in something like the standard Report Viewer Control (or even when being previewed at design time inside of Visual Studio for that matter)?
Just to be clear, the root of my problem, as I see and understand it, is that I have a VarBinary value in a database that is being converted to a string (ASCII...I am presuming) due to how I am writing my stored procedure and then needs to go back to something else binary that the SSRS Engine will accept so that I can see my Image in the report when I render it.
I am wishful that someone out there understands my problem and has run into this and has a solution......but I am wishful of winning the lottery, too, and that hasn't happened yet...............
Thanks.

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

I 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 recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?

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.
thanks

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
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?

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
Anthony
