Can Anything Other Than An Image Be Used In Custom Toolbox Items
Sep 10, 2007
I have developed a renderer that renders the xml to paint a rectangle with textboxes in all the right places based on the data retrieved off the database. When i render the a complete report to the reportviewer i have no problem.
I need however to render the rectangle into a custom report item for reusability and different scenarios. This just seem to be impossible since it seems like I cant use anything other than an imagemap to render custom report items. Is this true?
To make sure you understand....in other words....
Is there a way to develop a Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.IRenderingExtension that renders the required xml like rectangles/textboxes etc. and then migrate this to a custom toolbox item. It just seems like this should be a very easy thing to do and something regularly needed. For example when you want to use textboxes in certain positions within a rectangle to draw a organisational chart.
I just finish my first basic report using Reporting Services and now I have to design a very complicated report.
I would like to know the purpose of tow Report Items : Subreport and Matrix. If somebody can explain me the purpose and if he/she can point me to an example, it would be great.
I've created a custom data flow tranformation and it isn't showing up in the Tool Box Items to be added under the Data Flow Items tab (right click on tool box, 'Choose Items...', then clicked Data Flow Items).
I have done the following:
signed the assembly, added to GAC, copied the dll to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPipelineComponents.
It worked previously when I was just starting out, however now I cannot see it. What would cause it to not show up? Everything compiles fine. How would I determine how to fix it so that it shows up?
I am interested in adding custom buttons to the parameters toolbox (under "View Report"). I'm trying to provde a way for users viewing the report to go "Back" or up a level (in the drill through reports). Does anyone have any information on this topic, or know if it's even possible?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and have successfully created and deployed a Custom Report Item to use instead of the standard Chart Control.
This new Item works fine in both Report Designer (Visual Studio) and when generating Reports on the Report Server
However, I have a requirement that the same chart style must be available in Report Builder. Unfortunately, when using Report Builder to create a new report I can only select Tabular, Matrix or Chart style, and the chart option uses the standard style which is not suitable.
I cannot see any obvious way of including a Custom Report Item within Report Builder, so I have 2 questions :
Can I use a Custom Report Item in Report Builder? None of the samples or tutorials that I have found give any indication of whether this is possible.
i am currently trying to port a "Business Objects" report to SQL Server Reporting Services.
in B.O., there is a possibility to define the order of the table values by previewing the table values and moving them up or down.
Example : the dataset contains data for 3 items, so in the Custom Sort window, I will see these 3 items and I can order them by moving them up or down in a listbox.
I'm currently on the task to develop a custom report item to display date values from a data source in a Gantt-chart-alike way. I took a look at the documentation and the examples (especially [1]) but the documentation I found mainly concentrated on the case of assigning a single value to a custom property. As far as I can see I need to access the data source directly to retrieve the data I'd like to show. In the best case I could retrieve data sets only from a certain data grouping. But that's where I'm stuck. I realize I have to define the CustomData property in the designer component, but I have no clue what to set for DataRowGroupings, DataColumnGroupings, DataRows and so on. I hope somebody can point me to some documentation about the contents of the CustomData class. The MSDN documentation I found is utterly incomprehensible to me.

I am using the QRCode4CS class [URL] .... to generate QR codes.
I can use the following code to successfully return a bitmap image to a picturebox in a Windows Form Application.
public class CreateQRCodeClass { public static Image CreateQRCodeImage(string inputString) { QRCode4CS.QRCode qrcode = new QRCode4CS.QRCode(new QRCode4CS.Options(inputString)); qrcode.Make(); [Code] ....
In trying to adapt the same code (below) to display a QR code in an SSRS report I get the error "There is an error on line 1 of custom code: [BC30311] Value of type 'System.Drawing.Image' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte.'
Here is the custom code I am using.
Public Function QRCode(ByVal RetailerId As String) as Byte() Return QRCode4CSCreateQRCode.CreateQRCodeClass.CreateQRCodeImage(RetailerId) End Function
Here is the revised custom assembly.
public class CreateQRCodeClass { public static byte[] CreateQRCodeImage(string inputString) { QRCode4CS.QRCode qrcode = new QRCode4CS.QRCode(new QRCode4CS.Options(inputString)); qrcode.Make(); Image canvas = new Bitmap(86, 86);
[Code] ....
What data type can I successfully return to SSRS to display the image?
I have developed a custom report item that works fine in design and preview mode while in Visual Studio. I cannot get it to show up on my deployed reports. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Deployed the report using Visual Studio
2. updated the rsreportserver.config file with the following entry:
I've also tried using the StrongNameMembershipCondition with no better results.
4. The dll and its dependencies are copied to the bin directory of the report server.
5. When I load a report with this custom report item on it, the report loads fine with no errors or warnings in the log file (even with verbose tracing). The area where the custom item should be is just white. It's almost like Reporting Services isn't registering the item correctly.
This is particularly frustrating because the report works fine in Visual Studio - apparently I configured that correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.
Hi: I'm try to create a stored procedure where I sum the amounts in an invoice and then store that summed amount in the Invoice record. My attempts at this have been me with the error "The multi-part identifier "items.TAX" could not be bound"Any help at correcting my procedure would be greatly appreciate. Regards,Roger Swetnam ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateInvoiceSummary] @Invoice_ID intAS DECLARE @Amount intBEGIN SELECT Invoice_ID, SUM(Rate * Quantity) AS Amount, SUM(PST) AS TAX FROM InvoiceItems AS items GROUP BY Invoice_ID HAVING (Invoice_ID = @Invoice_ID) Update Invoices SET Amount = items.Amount WHERE Invoice_ID =@Invoice_IDEND
I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode 1A 1B 24 28 26 310 312 410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10 - 2 and 11 - 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
I'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).
I have a table of items (i.e. products). Â In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits"). Â In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items". Â In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id". Â Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent. Â So a sample of my database would be the following:
Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.
So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item. Â So an example of the report would be the following:
Name | Available Qty -------------------------- Kit A | 15 Kit B | 25 Item 4 | 100
I just installed sql2005 and bi dev studio on a vista box. Then VS 2005 and all svc packs. I create a new SSIS package but don't see any Data Flow Destinations in the toolbox while on the dataflow tab. I choose "show all" and don't see any data flow destinations anywhere. I can use the wizard to create packages, and it adds destinations just fine. Anyone have any idea what may be wrong?
I am in the process of developing a custom component. During that time I went through many versions of my custom component, including various DLL names and signatures, different code etc.
The problem is that now I have old versions of my custom components stuck in the default settings of the toolbox. When I reset the toolbox, even if I manually deleted the old items, it appears again.
I tried to delete all the DLLs I previously copied to the SQL Server directories, and also uninstalled all the DLLs from GAC.
The result was that the new components didn't appear, and I don't have the option to choose them in the "choose items" menu, but they still appear on the toolbox.
It is not something I can't live with, but it's really annoying seeing old and irrelevant versions right in your face...
Every time I try to edit a Control flow or Data flow task I am getting the following error. My toolbox options are all grayed out also.

I need to extract data from tables in a database that I can only access via ODBC.
I have successfully created a connection in Connection Manager (ConnectionManagerType = ODBC) for this database.
However I€™m unable to add this connection as a Data Flow Source. There is no ODBC Source option in the Toolbox.
This is a major because we have been using the system dsn Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver to access free table directory .dbf files under ODBC with DTS for years. To install a new Microsoft OLEDB driver for foxpro is out of the question on a production system as it would cost many thousands of dollars to go through our BAT testing process
How do I extract data from tables in a database via ODBC?
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid". In the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I have already created within this UI, and not the actual component object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
Select Integration Services Project from Templates
Project opens with default package.dtsx
Open Toolbox but I am missing all but a few of my items
Only items available are MAINTENANCE PLAN TASKS and GENERAL(which is totally empty)
I've changed the view from List View to Show All but which will display all the groups but all the options in those groups are grayed out.
I'm running on Windows Vista Business edition with SQL server 2005(9.0.3054) with SSIS installed. If someone could help me figure out why I don't have any avaible options it would be greatly appreciated.
I am using SSIS 2014 and installed adapter for sharepoint list source and destination and when I refresh the toolbox I don't see them. Is there a way to manually add them?
I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.
Hay Friend's Can u plese send me the way how to save image in sql server and display that images in datagrid or other control also like Image control or Image control Button?? Plese send the coding in C#. Thank's Amit
Ok, the problem is that , i have a field called "Attach" in sql of type image, when selecting it , the field is getting data of type BYTE(). which am being unable to display them on an Image on the panel.
using the following vb.net code:
'Dim sel2 As String
'Dim myCom As SqlCommand
'Dim conn As New SqlConnection
'Dim drr As SqlDataReader
'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "
I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.
hi,i have inserted the image present in mydocuments using alter commandcreate table aa(a int, d image)insert into aa values (1,'F:prudhviaba 002.jpg')when i doselect * from aai am getting the result in the column d as0x463A5C707275646876695C70727564687669203030322E6A 7067how i can i view the image?pls clarify my doubtsatish
In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?
Hi, I have a website and i am uploading the gif image to the database. i have used varchar(500) as the datatype and i am saving the file in the webserver so the path to it c:intepub....a.gif
my upload table has the folliwing feilds UploadId Int Identity, Description, FileName, DiskPath varchar(500), weblocation varchar(500). I have a main sproc for the report where i am doing a inner join with other table to get the path of the gif..
So my question is how can i get a picture to show up on the report. . What kinda datatype the gif file should be stored in the database? If it is stored as a varchar how can i access it and what is best way to reference that particular.
I have inherited a VS 2005 database with a table that has a column of type IMAGE. I need to change the image for one of the rows in the table. I have the new image in a *.PNG file on my C: drive. What is the correct method for inserting this file into the IMAGE column.
