XML File As Datasource?
Aug 7, 2007
Hi,
Is it possible to use a XML file as a datasource when setting up a new report, instead of the query technique?
You can do this in Crystal, but Reporting Services only seems interested in queries as a datasource.
Clicking Dataset -> New Dataset puts you straight into the Query dialog with no option to insert an XML file instead.
(example scenario: The XML file could be the output of some system (incompatible with RS), that you then wish to report from).
tia,

Hello,
I am using the ODBC connection and connectionstring to connect to a text file:
Driver=Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt;*.csv);dbq=networkpathtodirectory
When I type this and test connection, I get a successul test
Then I try to create a dataset using the above created datasource and the following query:
Select * from "Test.txt"
I get the following error: DataSource name not found and no default driver specified.
Now if I go back to the shared data source and test the connection, I get the same error.
What am I missing here?
Thanks

We are importing Flat file data from our Mainframe system. We have a lot of money amounts coming in, but the mainframe does not store the decimals in the flat file. So for example a row in the file might look like this:
+0000007894-0000000563
Where the first value is $78.94 and the second value is -$5.63
Is there anyway to have the Flat file connection manager put in the decimal place for me, or do i have to create derived columns for each column and divide it by 100? There like 50-100 columns per file, so i'm looking for a better, quicker way.
Thanks in advance.

I working on a form using an SQL DataSource. I am going to add a where clause. In that where clause a value from a label will be passed from the user.
How do I pass to the HTML Source the label value from the where clause. The value can change from user to user.
Sample below:
SELECT [KeyRolesID], [KeyRolesDesc] FROM [KeyRoles] WHERE ([JobCodeFamily] = @JobCodeFamily).
I want to replace the @JobCodeFamily which is currently coded with a value from the Sql DataSource in the design form with a label value entered by the user.

Hi, guys
I used an exported wcf service as a web service, try to use it as the reporting datasource,
[OperationContract]
DataSet GetTestReportData();
the app.config in the service host:
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="BaseReportingAddress" value="http://localhost:8999/ReportHandlerService"/>
</appSettings>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="Reporting_Handler.ReportHandlerService">
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8999/ReportHandlerService"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
behaviorConfiguration="ReportingServiceBehavior"
contract="Reporting_Handler.IReportingHandler"/>
</service>

<behaviors>
<behavior name="ReportingServiceBehavior">
<metadataPublishing
enableGetWsdl="true"
enableMetadataExchange="true"
enableHelpPage="false">
</metadataPublishing>
</behavior>
</behaviors>
I set the datasource type as xml and the connection string to http://localhost:8999/ReportHandlerService, the query string for dataset is
<Query>
<SoapAction>
http://tempuri.org/IReportingHandler/GetTestString
</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/IReportingHandler/"
Name="GetTestString">
</Method>
</Query>
but it doesn't work, I tried use a pure asp.net web service and it works. can anyone help me to set the connecting string for datasource and query for dataset when it using wcf as the web service? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have a question about the datasource that we create on the Report Manager. What is it used for? In the below connection string which is given in the "Connection String" text box of a datasource link:
"Data Source=ProdServer;Initial Catalog=Northwind"
What is this datasource used for? Is it used only to use the ReportServer database or even our queries incorporated in the RDL files will be run against this datasource? I think the latter should not happen because while creating RDL files also, we provide a connection string to run the stored procedures against that datasource.
Please let me know about the same.
Thanks a lot and let me know if the question is not clear.
Manoj Deshpande.

I have this web store that I have been creating. When a customer goes to check out, he has to log in, then he is redirected to a page where he can view/add/or edit shipping and billing address. I have based all the sql statements on the profile username, adding records and retrieving them works just fine. When I go to change something in the info it uses an sql statement that updates based on "Where AccountUserName = @AccountUserName", I have @AccountUserName set to Profile("Username"). Keep in mind this works fine for adding new or bring up current records. I even put in code in the updated event for the sql data source to post a msgbox telling me how many rows were affected, it says 1 even though I dont see any change in the data. What am I doing wrong here, it's driving me nuts, its just a very simple update.

My god.All I want to do is post the contents of a web form to a database sql express 2005 or access using C#. Why can I find nothing for this very simple process online?Can you tell I am totally frustrated? So lets say i have a few text fields and I want to click submit and have that entered into a table. I use C# for code behind. So I can do basic C# programming and I can to webforms with visual web developer 2005 dragging and dropping for textboxs and a button to the aspx page. But then the mystery begins for me. How the hell do I simple post that form data to the table. I understand connection string basics. I aslo can design and create tables. But tying this all together is becoming a problem. I don't want to use gridview formview detailview or any of that canned UI stuff. I also don't understand VB and when I see VB examples they only cloud my already cloud ASP.NET world. Please help by posting examples, and maybe some links or books to add to my newbish collection. Thanks,Frank

Hi there,
I'm using a Repeater at the moment which is bound to a SQLDataSource. I expect much load on that Website, should I choose another DataSource? Which other DataSource is better if it's about Performance?
I read some stuff about the SQLAdapter and a DataSet.. is that better in performance? Why is it better?
What about LinQ?
Thanks a lot for any clarification.

I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors.
I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe...
1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''") 2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for.
If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below....
I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail....
I would appreciate any help !
Thanks !
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ClinicTest2ConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [PatientID], [Accession], [FirstName], [LastName], [Address1], [City], [strddlPatientState], [ZIP], [DOB] FROM [ClinicalPatient] WHERE [LastName] LIKE @LastName ORDER BY [LastName],[FirstName]ASC">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="LastName" QueryStringField="NameSearch_Result" />

I have a single variable to be utilitized in my SQL Where clause...
Select *FROM projectsWhere project_id = @id
How do I use this c# variable in the datasource?
string TableID; TableID = "192.AB";
I know this is simple, but I figured I'd ask. I don't want to do a work around , like a hidden textbox with the value assigned, and then link the datasource to the tb control, seems extremely hackish.

Hi
When I try to configure a SQL datasource and I use a Microsoft SQL Server datasource I get a blank drop down list for server name. My aspnetdb is available in SQL Server 2005 and I can log into it through management studio, and the service is started. I am also using Vista Ultimate.
Is there any other configuration I need to do for Visual Studio 2008 to see the SQL Server instance?

I have a simple form that accepts a zip code and a city when the submit button is hit this is triggered...
Protected Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim Zip, City As String
Zip = txtZip.Text
City = txtCity.Text
grdZipCodes.DataSourceID = "ZipSearch"
ZipSearch.SelectParameters("ZipCode").DefaultValue = Zip
ZipSearch.SelectParameters("City").DefaultValue = City
grdZipCodes.DataBind()
End Sub
This is supposed to populate a gridview with filtered data. Instead I get nothing, even though in query analyzer if I dont provide a city or a state all results are returned. Is there a reason my gridview is not populating.
this is what my SQL Datasource is :
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ZipSearch" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:something%>" SelectCommand="ZipCodesSearch_s" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ZipCode" Type="string" Direction=input />
<asp:Parameter Name="City" Type="string" Direction=input />
</SelectParameters>

Hi All,
I am using SSRS 2005 (Report Designer), and in 1 of the Report, I have a Report Parameter for example say IMask (Dropdown List), which I am populating by values from the following XML file (Imask.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<REPORTCONFIG>
<INVALIDMASK>
<INDEX>0</INDEX>
<IMASK>00000000</IMASK>
<DESC>Custom Created</DESC>
</INVALIDMASK>
<INVALIDMASK>
<INDEX>1</INDEX>
<IMASK>FFFFFFFF</IMASK>
<DESC>Custom Created1</DESC>
</INVALIDMASK>
</REPORTCONFIG>
I have created a XML DataSet whose DataSource is of €śType : XML€śand get the values from the above mentioned XML file by using following XML query :
REPORTCONFIG {}/ INVALIDMASK
The Result of the above XML query is:
INDEX | IMASK | DESC
--------------------------------------------------------------
0 00000000 Custom Created
1 FFFFFFFF Custom Created1
Now, the report Parameter (IMask) which is a DDL has
€śvalue field€?= IMASK and €ślabel field€?= DESC
So far so good, but what I really want :
1) in case of label field is something like this:
€ślabel field€?= IMASK : DESC (for eg; 00000000 : Custom Created 1)
2) If no nodes(<INVALIDMASK>) are present in the XML file, I get no results when the above XML query is fired. So, Is there any way of getting the count of rows returned by XML query.
And in case of no rows I want my Report Parameter (IMask) to have
€śvalue field€?= NONE and €ślabel field€?= NONE
Regards,
abhi_viking

So I'm trying to run through a directory of reports and change the data source of every report from whatever it has now, to a shared data source. I'm using C#.
If I understand the process correctly, I want to .GetItemDataSources on the reports service and store it in an array of datasources. Then I want to Change the name and reference of the datasource to match something that I alredy have elsewhere. Here is the code...
foreach (CatalogItem item in _reportsService.ListChildren("/" + reportingServicesRoot, true))
{
if (item.Type == ItemTypeEnum.Report)
{
try
{
DataSource[] Sources = new DataSource[1];
Sources = _reportsService.GetItemDataSources(item.Path);
DataSourceDefinitionOrReference Reference = _reportsService.GetDataSourceContents(@"/Data Sources/" + reportingServicesRoot);
Sources[0].Item = Reference;
Sources[0].Name = reportingServicesRoot;
_reportsService.SetItemDataSources(item.Path, Sources);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
DataSource[] s = _reportsService.GetItemDataSources(item.Path);
throw ex;
}
}
}
Here is the error I get....
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The data source 'SummerOf70' cannot be found. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.DataSourceNotFoundException: The data source 'SummerOf70' cannot be found. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.DataSourceInfoCollection.CombineOnSetDataSources(DataSourceInfoCollection newDataSources) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.SetItemDataSourcesAction.SetReportDataSources(CatalogItem item, DataSource[] dataSources) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.SetItemDataSourcesAction.PerformActionNow() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSSoapAction`1.Execute() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005Impl.SetItemDataSources(String Item, DataSource[] DataSources) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005Impl.SetItemDataSources(String Item, DataSource[] DataSources) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.SetItemDataSources(String Item, DataSource[] DataSources)
I know the DataSource is there.
Am I going about this all wrong? Should I delete the datasource first and then create a new one?
I look forward to clarifying my poor grammar. Thanks in advance!

Hi , I am trying to write a report generator by simply using a form and then a gridview that query's the database based on what the user selects on the form. Anyways, I update the SQL parameters similar to below code. I just want to know how i can tell the parameter to get ALL values from the parameter instead of a specific value. For example if the user wanted to see ALL the records for CustomerName what would i set the parameter default value to? I tried the asterisk but that did not work. Please guide me....Thanks! MattSqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CustomerName"].DefaultValue = "some value";<asp:SqlDataSource ... > <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="CustomerName" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>

There HAS to be an easier way to do this...
I have 2 seperate SqlDataSources for 2 distinct filters. How do I get a simple row count for each SqlDataSource? It seems the only way is by using the ObjectDataSource and going through that whole mess (paging, etc.). And unfortunately, you can't simply get the number of rows in the GridView that represents each DataSource if AllowPaging is true for the GridView.
This is frustrating.

Hi All,
I have a SP, which i run inside a for loop.
I am running the SP for all the products in a listbox.
So for each product i am having the feature extracted through the SP
But some features are the same for 2, 3 products.
So in the datatable, i am getting the featrues repeated.
IS there any way to eliminate the duplicates from datatable, from server side?
Hope i am not confusing.
Eg: product1 --- test1, test2, test3
product2 --- test2, test4
so the datatable has -- test1, test2, test3, test2, test4
-- i have to eliminate one test2 from this.
Any ideas???
Thanks

Hi
I’ve got a simple SQLdataSource which is wired up to a gridView. When the page loads, it’s sometimes likely the data source would contain no data – how can I test for that in the code behind (no data)? I’d like to only show a button if there is data?
I’m using ASP.NET 2.0 with C#
