Testing A Custom DPE In Visual Studio Report Designer
Aug 17, 2007Hi,
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!
Visual Studio 2005 Report Designer - Background Image
Apr 7, 2008Hi 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,

Exception Error When Previewing Report (VS 2005 SP1)
May 12, 2008I am creating a report in VS 2005 SP1 (all updates applied) on a Windows 2003 Server with 8GB of RAM. When I preview the report (about 120,000 records) it locks up my machine for about 5 minutes and then gives an error:
An error occurred during local report processing.
An error has occurred during report processing.
Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
This report has a somewhat complex query, but when I deploy the report to the server (Reporting Services 2005) it runs fine. I just hate to deploy the report each time I want to preview it. Is there a setting for VS that I can change to increase memory? Or is there something else I need to check?
Thank you for any assistance!

How To Reopen An Existing Query Using A Visual Designer
Jan 21, 2008Using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 for the first time and have a question. After creating a query using the Design Query, can the same query be visually modified using the Design Query again?
Seems whenever the Design Query is used again with an open query, the tool opens empty ready for a new query instead of the open query.
Thanks

Jan 29, 2007In the Visual Studio Query designer against a ce 3.1 sdf file, if I type in

Query Designer Not Displaying In Visual Studio 2013?
Nov 16, 2013I'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.

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.
Jun 30, 2006After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Custom Assembly Behaves Differently In The Report Designer And Report Manager
Mar 18, 2008Hello everyone,
I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);
I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.
In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.
Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

'Dynamic Time(year,month,date)' Report Template (rdl) Using Report Designer VS2005
Jan 19, 2007I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either
1: By date (rdl 1)
2.By Month (rdl 2)
3.By Year (rdl 3)
Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).
I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.
Thanks

Multi Value In Report Parameter Using MSVS Report Designer.
Aug 14, 2006Hi All,
I have a question, How to user the Multi value in Visual Studio Report Designer.
My dataset contains the following
Select empno,empname,basicpay,deptcd from employee where deptcd in (substring(@gdept,1,4))
Here variable gdept is the report parameter. I am passing the value.
it works fine with single value.
( the source of gdept is a another dataset to list the deparment code+name,
Example
DEP1 - COMPUTER
DEP2 - ADMIN
DEP3 - FINANCE
)
when I preview, i have a combo box to select the department.
If I choose one deparment, it works fine.
If I choose more than one department or select all I have error message
"substring function requires 3 aruguments."
what is wrong is the query
Please advise.
Cheers,
Saleem
Report Designer Report That Queries A Cube Model
Jun 15, 2007In Report Designer I am able to create a Model data source and see my entities/fields.
But when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute Query" message.
I know in the past this was an issue because Designer doesn't allow you to specify a perspective.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved?
I'm using SP2
Thank you,

Moving Lots Of Rows From Table To Another Table
Jan 17, 2008Hi all,
I have two tables within the SQL server and there is an application writes 20.000 or 40000 rows in the First table.
1) I need to know when the table completes filled to start move the data to the second table.
2) After I copy the rows I need to delete the rows from the first table.
I though to use the trigger but I am not sure if this is the best approach or not
Please help....
Thank you

Selecting From Table With Lots Of Inserts
Mar 19, 2008Hi,
I am working on an application to analyse down time on a production line system. The system has about 40 rows inserted per minute. The inserts are coming from about 10 different stations.
I need to a analyse the downtime between each insert from each station. The plan is to copy the data to another database on a different server so as not to affect the live system that is being updated by the production line.
However the initial requirement was to do this at night while the production line was down but now they want the data to be updated every 3 hours which means performing this huge query while the production line is bombarding the DB with inserts.
I am wondering what is the best way of doing this. Is there any way I can limit the abount of processor this proceedure will take.
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks,

Report Designer &&> PRINT ONLY A SECTION OF THE REPORT
Oct 18, 2007Hi,
I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts
Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?
I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...
Thanks for your help...

Lots Of Stats Based On One Database Table
Feb 9, 2007Hi,
I'm new to reporting services and this is a very general question. I'm working on a large sales stats report with many results.
I want to be able to compare many results for two dates. These results
include, average sales value per day, average sales per weekday, sales
with payment received, etc.
So basically there is lots of analysis
needed mainly based on one database table (a fairly standard orders table).
What seemed the most logical thing to do is get all the relevant order rows for
these two date ranges, A and B, and append a period column to the
results, and then do all the maths/aggregate functions in Reporting
Services. Thus only having to connect to database once.
And use a matrix with date period columns.
So my query gives me results like:
Period order_total, is_weekday, no_weekdays_in_period.....
A 123 0 22....
A 54 1 22....
B 134 0 20...
Does this make the most sense? Or should I do the maths (grouping and aggregate functions) in lots of
different queries (in which case, is Reporting Services worthwhile using?)?
Any advise/suggestions appreciated.
Optimising A Table With Lots Of Boolean Fields
Jul 17, 2006I have an application that reads a monitoring devices that produces 200 digital outputs every second and I would like to store them in a table. This table would get quite big fairly quickly as ultimately I would like to monitor over a hundred of these devices.
I would like to construct queries against each of the individual digital channels or combinations of them.
M first thought is to set up a table with 200 separate columns (plus others for date stamp, device ID etc) however, I am concerned that a table with 200 boolean (1-bit) fields would be an enormous waste of space if each field takes maybe one to four bytes on the hard disk to store a single bit. However, this would have the advantage of make the SQL queries more natural.
The other alternative is to create a single 200 bit field and use lots of ANDing and ORing to isolate bits to do my queries. This would make my SQL code less readable and may also cause nore hassle in the future if the inputs changed, but it would make the file size smaller.
In essence I am asking (hoping) the following : If I create a table with 200 boolean fields, does SQL server express automatically optimise the storage to make it more compact? This means that the server can mess around at the bit level and leave my higher level SQL code looking cleaner and more logical.
Report Viewer In ASP.NET - Subreport Page 2 Goes Back To Main Report Page 2 On Paging
Nov 22, 2007What we've found is that when you have two reports where one navigates to the other, if you click on the second page of the second report, it takes you to the second page of the original report. If you navigate over to the subreport again and click for the second page, it works appropriately. This is definitely a no-go for production code and this may delay our ship date because I would think this is definitely undesirable.
Conditions:
ASP.NET Report Viewer using Remote Reports
Report that links to another report
Both reports return more than one page
Reporting Services installed
Steps to Reproduce:
Download the source code here.
Follow the directions (near the bottom of the post) to get the project set up.
Run it and click on a link in the first report to go to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2 of the second report.
Notice how it takes you back to page 2 of the first report (this doesn't happen when you are in preview mode in the Reporting Services project and I don't believe it does this in a smart client application).
Click on a link in the first report to go back to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2.
Notice how it takes you to page 2 of the second report.
Here is a link with source code and a more detailed explanation: http://geekswithblogs.net/robz/archive/2007/11/21/Reporting-Services-2005-BUG-Report-Linking-and-Paging---ASP.NET.aspx
So what I am looking for is both a workaround for now and if this is determined to be a bug, to be fixed in the next service pack.
Making Changes To A Table With Lots Of Data. Timeout Error?!
Oct 11, 2006Hello,
I have a table that is fairly large, and I need to make a change to one of the columns in the table. Namely I need to change the datatype and rename that column. When I try to save the updated table, I keep getting a timeout error that says.
'eligibility (dbo)' table
- Unable to create index 'PK_eligibility'.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Any ideas on how to make the table change more efficient or change the timeout period. I need to keep the existing data in the table. I am using sql server managment studio(2005) connected to a sql server 2000 database.
Thanks!

Report Does Not Display In Designer
Mar 28, 2007Hello,
I am developing some reports for an ASP.NET solution, but my IDE does not display the design view of the reports. Instead, it only displays the XML definition even when I click View Designer. Yesterday the reports showed up correctly, and I know that the design view is there. Is there a setting that has been changed somewhere?

Using A Like Clause In Report Designer
Apr 14, 2007Well, I noticed several other threads on this topic, but the solutions accepted as answers did not resolve my issue.
I'm trying to pass a like clause via a parameter in a report. I'm running the report against an Oracle 10 db using the microsoft for oracle oledb driver. Here's my sql I'm using in the report designer:
select * from dbprod.database_names_vw
where db_name LIKE ('%' + :1 + '%').
When I run this, I get the dreaded: ORA-01722 error
I referred to this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337223.aspx
which covers: Using Query Parameters with Specific Data Sources
I tried all the variations from that link...I tried the "@" sign. I tried the ?. I tried double quotes...I've tried everything...
I was under the impression I had to use unnamed parameters, as above....
Frustrated in Cali.
Cannot Shut Down VS After Using Report Designer
Jan 27, 2006Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.
Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.
I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!
