I have created custom form without borders , i have written functions to minimize, maximize, exit and even for moving the window, now i need to write function to resize the window , is there any way resize the window...
View 1 RepliesI have recently enabled a custom Forms Security on my Windows 2003 Server w/ SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. All the functionality I would expect is working properly, except for the ability to deploy to the reports server from inside my Visual Studio 2005 Reports Project.
The 'Reporting Services Login' window opens, prompting me for a username and password. Regardless of what is supplied, the window keeps reappearing, and I am unable to deploy. I am able to upload the files from within the Report Manager, but that is time consuming and inelegant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Greetings. I have developed our own custom security extension, implemented forms based authentication, and can authenticate from report manager, report server and sql studio. So far so good.
However, when it comes to Authorization, i'm unclear in a few areas and would appreciate if someone could help me out with the following questions. It should be noted that in the code I have granted an administrator user full access to all operations and permissions, and then tested against both an administrator user and a normal user.
IAuthorizationExtension.GetPermissions summary says
"Returns the set of permissions granted a specific user for an item in the report server database."
Inparticular, the secDesc parameter is supposed to contain the security descriptor associated with the item.
However, with our extension this parameter is always null, even if I have already granted access for a user, which is confirmed through logging in CreateSecurityDescriptor.
Through the report manager or sql studio I can see that the permissions have been created, so I can't understand why I never see them in the GetPermissions method? This then (seems to) flow through to the various CheckAccess methods, where the users are authenticated, but are not authorized to perform any operations. i.e. in report manager a user has no folders or reports available.
Is RS authorization designed around the concept that the details will always be stored in it's own database?
Ideally, we'd like to have the various roles, users and function authorizations defined in our own security framework. This is working great for the authentication aspect of the extension, but unless there is a mechanism which exposes the details of the particular authorization process (e.g. the name of the folder being viewed or report being run), then I can't see a way we can implement it. Unless i'm missing something fundamental of course!
Using Report Builder as the Administrator user (or any other user), I can see no data models available, even though I have created them via Report Manager, and I get the following exception trying to open up the list of reports:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ListChildrenAction.PerformActionNow() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSSoapAction.Execute() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.ListChildren(String Item, Boolean Recursive, CatalogItem[]& CatalogItems)
I have implemented a report server proxy (inherited from ReportService2005) as per the example, to pass through the authorization cookie. Any clues as to what could be wrong?
Finally, I suspect part of my problem may be in assignment of users to System Roles ("System Administrator" and "System User"), I'm not sure if these are meant only for Windows Authentication? I can see no way of assigning these roles to any of my users using Forms Authentication.
Thanks for any help or advice you can give!
Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.
The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.
I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed

I'm getting the below error message:

By how much should I set the filegrowth? The users are complaining that the application is freezing on them.
This is sqlserver 2000.
Hi,
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?
I am writing in C#.
Hi,
I've created a Custom Data Flow Component and added some Custom Properties.
I want the user to set the contents using an expression. I did some research and come up with the folowing:
Code Snippet
IDTSCustomProperty90 SourceTableProperty = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
SourceTableProperty.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
SourceTableProperty.Name = "SourceTable";
But it doesn't work, if I enter @[System:ackageName] in the field. It comes out "@[System:ackageName]" instead of the actual package name.
I'm also unable to find how I can tell the designer to show the Expression editor. I would like to see the elipses (...) next to my field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Hi,
I'm trying to enable Expression for a custom property in my custom data flow component.
Here is the code I wrote to declare the custom property:
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.RemoveAll();
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSCustomProperty90 prop = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
prop.Name = "MyProperty";
prop.Description = "My property description";
prop.Value = string.Empty;
prop.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
...
}
In design mode, I can assign an expression to my custom property, but it get evaluated in design mode and not in runtime
Here is my expression (a file name based on a date contained in a user variable):
"DB" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + "\" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + ".VER"
@[User::varCurrentDate] is a DateTime variable and is assign to 0 at design time
So the expression is evaluated as: "DB189912189912.VER".
My package contains 2 data flow.
At runtime,
The first one is responsible to set a valid date in @[User::varCurrentDate] variable. (the date is 2007-01-15)
The second one contains my custom data flow component with my custom property that was set to an expression at design time
When my component get executed, my custom property value is still "DB189912189912.VER" and I expected "DB200701200701.VER"
Any idea ?
What I want to accomplish is that at design time the designer can enter a value for some custom property on my custom task and that this value is accessed at executing time.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am writing a custom task that has some custom properties. I would like to parameterize these properties i.e. read from a varaible, so I can change these variables from a config file during runtime.
I read the documentation and it says if we set the ExpressionType to CPET_NOTIFY, it should work, but it does not seem to work. Not sure if I am missing anything. Can someone please help me?
This is what I did in the custom task
customProperty.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
In the Editor of my custom task, under custom properties section, I expected a button with 3 dots, to click & pop-up so we can specify the expression or at least so it evaluates the variables if we give @[User::VaraibleName]
Any help on this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
I have what I hope is a simple question for you all.
I have been volunteered to be our SQL admin. We've never used SQL here before. I've been studying it for a month or so now, but have unexpectedly been given a project for SQL 2000 with a deadline of next week. I have no problem with creating the database, the table, the view, and setting permissions. My problem is how best to have clients enter information. We don't want them to see previous days' information, or to see other users' information. They should enter their data only. We have a few managers who will look all at the data and perform queries. Can I give the users' a form for this? I'd rather not have them open enterprise manager and navigate through those screens; this will create a whole slew of training issues.
If someone could point me in the right direction on this, and maybe suggest a good reference manual, I'd appreciate it.
thanks,

hi,
as a previous user of Access, i was wondering if SQL Server provided any means of creating a Form through which I can enter in data to be stored in a table?
cheers,

Is there any program out there that will let me create a form in SQL (simiar to a form in access)
Just so all at once i can display certain information with minimal input from myself. Kind of like a SQL GUI.
Thanks

I have a project at work that requires me to transfer all the data, including the queries, forms, macros, and modules from Access 97 to SQL Server 7. I was able to import the tables only using DTS wizard. Is there a way to copy the queries, forms, macros, and modules?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi guys, I've been thinking about this problem now for some time but somehow I don't know if my "solution" for it is right. I'd like to read your opinion.
There is a Capital table with Capital_Nr, Capital_Name, Capital_Population, Country_Nr and Country_Name as attributes.
I know the table is chaotic so I brought it to 3NF :
Capital table : Capital_Nr, Capital_Name, Capital_Population, Country_Nr(foreign key)
Country table : Country_Nr and Country_Name
Ok so I guess the table should be now in 3NF, but what intrigues me is in what NF the table originally was. I tried then to use Codd's definition of 2NF : "a 1NF table is in 2NF if and only if none of its non-prime attributes are functionally dependent on a part (proper subset) of a candidate key". In my opinion the original candidate keys could only be {Capital_Nr},{Country_Nr} and {Country_Name}, each one of them single, i.e. separate from each other. So, as there is no composite candidate key, I can affirm that the original table was in 2NF. Am I right ?
Thanks !
I could really use help getting form authentication to work. I have a box with a web site and ReportingServices installed(which if I can get this working will be moved to the DMZ). The databases are on a different machine(which will on on our network).
I have been working with the sample provided with the install and this blog.
http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/12/05/500195.aspx
My problem is that I can logon and authenticate but when I call ListChildren() my System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials is empty so I get nothing back from the call.
I know that I have a valid cookie because after I logon I can use the Reports and the ReportServer URL's and go directly to those pages.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to make ListChildren() work? Do I still call ListChildren()? Documentation is scarce and would appreciate any help provided.
Thanks

I could really use some suggestions on the best way to get the results of a pretty complex aspx form. There are a whole bunch of search criteria. Most of the criteria are ranges of numbers such as a starting number and ending number but other criteria need to search text fields for keywords. Most fields are optional which means that many values will not be submitted. Not that there is a right and wrong way to do it, but what typically works out better for these things, an aspx procedure that puts together a highly complicated select statement or writing a highly complicated stored procedure? Either way I see a ton of if statements, or am I making this a lot harder then it needs it needs to be?
Thanks.
Hello all, here is my question,
I have an Access 97 database linked to a SQL Server 7 db. All primary keys/relationships/ec have been created in the SQl database and I can update forms fine from the table view. When I try to use the Access forms to update data, I cannot update anything. I believe that a possibility for this may be that the Autonumbering feature of the primary key is held in SQL where before it was held in Access so the form cannot update without a number already apparent to the form but I am probably way off. I tried creating a whole new form completely based on the linked tables instead of using the old Access forms but I recieved the same results. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Howdy,Does anyone know of any packages that you can create a form and via aODBC connection save the data to a table ?If it is possible to compile the form as I don't want clients to changethe forms ?Any idea/thoughts would be most welcome ?RegardsAndrew

How can i intergrate deployed reports with a windows forms?
We created a custom security extension for RS using Forms Authentication. The issue I am having is in ReportBuilder when the forms authentication ticket expires. Forms auth will attempt to redirect (send a HTTP 302) and the report builder will show the error message "Object moved to here" instead of prompt for credentials. I have been watching the IIS logs and I see the first time report builder start it attempt to connect using default windows credentials and after the FormsAuthenticationRequired exception it will prompt for credentials and invoke LogonUser method, but this only happens the first time or if change the server in the url. I was expecting ReportBuilder to consider the Forms Authentication expiration at any time.
Do you have any idea how to work around this?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement for Access Forms once I move the tables etc to SQL 2005?
Does SQL 2005 have any form building functionality like Access?
We have one system that is developed using Visual Basic 6. The system connects to MS SQL database using ODBC configuration. We have another branch that has to access the same database. We've got an Internet connection with a speed of 2MB, as we tried to connect using Virtual Private Network (VPN), but the problem we faced that the system became very slow over the Internet, its taking half an hour to open one form. Is there any way to connect to the database and via the Internet using VB6 Forms? Or its not useful as its not a web based tool.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm implementing Forms authentication, but I have users stored in two different databases. The "LogonUser" method in my AuthenticationExtension gets an "authority". In that way I can authenticate the user in the correct database.
But... the problem is the CheckAccess method of my AuthorizationExtension. Is it in any way possible to reach the "authority" information from inside it? I need to grant some access to users of the first database and some other access to the users of the second database.
Is there a way to insert forms in reporting services. If so, how would this be done>?

I've been chasing down the multiple dataset issue.
I have a form which was created using the drag-n-drop dataset wizards.
In my project I have a form which has a DatagridView based upon a dataset.
I also have a Combo box based upon a completely different dataset.
I would like to copy the form into a new project
and base the controls upon a completely new/different dataset
which is a single dataset that has all my tables and underlying queries built in.
Does anyone know how to do this?
