This post refers to a question I have relating to the add in tool for VWD, the reporting add in tool. I have posted this question previousley on a forum, but was told it was better to add it in here too.
In VWD, I know I can go into the background of a page, and fiddle with the code in VBA. I find this very useful, and considering I have only been doing this for 6 months, I really enjoy it too! I recently downloaded the Reporting Add In for VWD, and I thought it was a very useful tool, especially for the kind of MI work that I am requested to do. However, I can not find anyway to alter the code like I can in a normal .aspx page. The main problem I am having is I have got a table, but depending on whether a a particular cell in one coloumn has 0, - or + number, I want to be able to change the background colour of that individual cell. Devilishly easy to do with a text box or label in VB on a normal .aspx page, but I can't see how to do it when I am designing a report in the Reporting Add on tool for VWD. Can anyone help or does anyone have any suggestions?
I would like to know if it is possible to change the appearance of SQL Server Reporting Services that we see when we are navigating in the reports by the browser. Like change the name "SQL Server Reporting Services" to the name of my company, change the default icon and the size of it, etc...
Do I need to load Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2005.NET to work with the .rdl reports. I have VS 2005 loaded and I can't access my reports I created before my hard drive died...
Windows 7.We are preparing to introduce some of our folks to designing reports in SQL Server Reporting Service (SSrS). I want to do some preliminary testing on my laptop. I believe we should use Visual Studio (free version), the Business Intelligence tools for VS, and a local instance of SQL Server. I want to be able to install a sample database in the local instance of SQL Server and be able to look at the sample database's table structure.
To set up a local test environment, should I use VS, Business Intelligence tools for VS, and a local instance of SQL Server? Or is there some other set of tools I should use?What version of VS should I use (I saw VS Community 2015 RC is available)?Where might I get a robust sample database from which I can create SSrS Reports to test?What tool can I use to look at a local instance of SQL Server? These "express" versions don't seem to come with SQL Server Management Studio.
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.
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?
I am having problems with a couple of queries in the Development Studio (Reporting Services 205). I am working on a report that runs a lot of functions so I expect it to be slow. But it times out in 30 seconds.
Error Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
The report finishes when clicking on the preview tab but not when on the data tab. If finishes fine when deployed as well. Is there a way to increase the amount of time the query designer in Visual Studio takes to time out on a query?
I have tried setting the Connect Timeout=60 on the Data Source but it seems to be overridden by a setting in Visual Studio 2005.
I have a couple of questions which is better for commercial development the standard edition sql or sql express edition? Does the express edition 2005 in visual studio professional come with advanced services or do you have install sp2? Has anyone installed sql 2005 reporting services on vista ultimate is there anything I should know besides the article How to install sql reporting services on a windows vista computer? Thanks I have sql express on my visual studio 2008, however I have not installed it. Will this be a problem if I install standard ediion?
I 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 have created an web reference called ReportingSerivce 2005. i am trying to set an user to have browser rights without going into Report Manager.
But I can't get the SetPolicies function to work correctly. Any ideas?
Code written in VB.
Dim rs As ReportingService2005 rs.Url = "https://wa.hrconnect.treas.gov/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx"
Dim Item As String = "/" Dim Policies() As Policy Policies(0) = New Policy Policies(0).GroupUserName = TxtUser.ToString Policies(0).Roles = New Role(0) {} Policies(0).Roles(0) = New Role Policies(0).Roles(0).Name = "Browser" Policies(0).Roles(0).Description = "May view folders and reports." rs.SetPolicies(Item, Policies)
I've downloaded & installed Visual Web developer Express and SQL Server Express and now I'm trying to install the Reporting Add-In available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/default.aspx
It downloads just fine and, just as the installation progress bar is almost done and the status text says 'Registering Product', I get the following error message:
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personell or package vendor"
Running VWD shows the ReportViewer control now appears in the 'data' group. I can add it to a form, but I cannot create a new report, as clicking on 'Design a new report' under the ReportView Tasks popup menu does nothing.
When creating a report using reporting Services with a cube as a datasource, visual studio 2005 hangs. I have applied SP1 to visual studio.net 2005 .
This is the query generated by query designer in reporting services. When I try to drag and drop another dimension to slice it by , visual studio hangs.
The fact table has just 10,000 records. Are the number of dimensions used to slice the cube too many? How do I optimize this query?

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.
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/
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.
Ralph SELECT RTRIM(a.ITEMNMBR) AS Style, RTRIM(a.ITEMDESC) AS Description, a.ITMSHNAM AS UPC, c.LOCNCODE AS Store, d.LISTPRCE AS ListPrice, a.CURRCOST AS Cost, a.USCATVLS_1 AS [Main Category], a.USCATVLS_2 AS Market, a.USCATVLS_3 AS [Alternate Retail], a.USCATVLS_4 AS Country, b.ITEMXTRAS_1_Type AS Type, b.ITEMXTRAS_2_Finish AS Finish, b.ITEMXTRAS_3_SubCategory AS SubCategory, b.ITEMXTRAS_4_Department AS Department,
I am trying to import Access reports using Visual Studio 2005 and Access 2007. SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services is also installed. I select Reports in the Solution Explorer and then Import Reports... Microsoft Access and browse to my Access database. After I select the database I see it open briefly as if it is trying to import the reports but then Access quickly closes and a error pops up: "You already have the database open." I have checked and double checked and the database is not open. I have even tried several different databases and the same errror occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?
I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools. My configuration::
Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.
IIS is installed and the service says its running
VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)
SQL server service indicates it is running
.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)
Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.
Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
We have installed SQL Server 2005 with reporting services.When tried to open getting errors as below: how to avoid such errors See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I have some problem about reporting service add-in.
After I install reporting service add-in for SharePoint, reporting service menu does not appear in Application Management Tab in SharePoint Central Administration.
I try to uninstall and re-install again, it remain not work.
We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
My reporting manager and reporting server were working fine in IIS. But when I booted the system one day, one error message came "Unexpected error" for the IIS. So I removed the IIS and reinstalled he same.
But after that, I tried to give virtual directories to reporting manager and reporting server sites. But it ain't working. Could you please help me?
