Changing Row Height In Excel After Rendering By ASP.Net SSRS ReportViewer
Jan 21, 2010
I have an SSRS report that has a Comments field where there's enough text to span multiple rows per record. It renders fine in the ASP.Net ReportViewer control, but when it's exported the formatting can be different. Exporting to Word it looks fantastic. But exporting to Excel and PDF, the row height for each record is never increased beyond the default, so the text just gets truncated. In Excel I can go in and double-click on individual or multiple row heights to fix them, but this is an extra step we don't want.
I have SSRS (discountasp.net) and I currently display reports on my web page using Reportviewer and use .net code to authenticate them (username/password). Recently I have bought VPS (Windows Server 2008 Web Edition + .net 4.0) and would like to use SSRS the same way as above. I have never done this before so need some guidance on that just to ensure the server is still "safe". Below are some questions that I think are related but feel free to add other comments that I didn't think about.
1) Set up new user? What permissions are required? 2) Configure SSRS to for external connections? 3) Firewall?
Starting to look into an web app thet uses the ReportViewer to display SSRS reports. This is for SSRS 2008. What would be the best way to go about the follwoing: The reports are sales reports so only ceratin people will get to see certain reports.
1: If a user opens a report which they can see and that report has a subreport which they can't, will the subreport still be viewable?
2: If the webapp will be used by many different people internally and eventually by outside people, what is the best security startegy to use, just plain ServerReportCredentials passing, or something else?
am doing some work for a group that has a very old version of SSRS, VS.NET, and SQL Server deployed, and for reasons that are beyond my ability to influence, upgrading to later version(s) of the tools simply is not an option. I wish it were.In this environment, I have prepared a report in the designer for VS.NET 2003. This report renders perfectly in the "Preview" tab in the IDE; yet, when I attempt to view this report via the browser in HTML, the rendering is entirely corrupt and unusable. I added that version's "Report Viewer" control (which was then deployed only as an project within the sample projects), to a sample page and viewed the report through that control, but the rendering is no different; it's still unusable.My question is this: Since the report displays properly in the "Preview" page within the IDE, can that functionality be integrated into a conventional browser page? The preview does me no good if I can't deliver a live page with the same rendering. Believe me, I would love/prefer/desire to upgrade to the latest version of everything, but I simply have zero influence over that element of this project. I have to use what they provide: Sql Server 2000, VS.NET 2003, and SSRS for SQL Server 2000. Yup, there are cobwebs everywhere
I am having an issue with my reportviewer where nothing is visible, not even the control. If I add other content, it shows, but the reportviewer is not. I am using the 9.0.0.0 version of the control with SSRS 2005 inside an MVC 2.0 application. I have built and deployed the report to the server. I have confirmed by looking on the report server and running it there.
My app is MVC 2.0 I have added a regular webforms page into the root of the website. I put it in a form, runat=server, and enabled viewstate. I have added the .aspx routing exception My code behind is set up similarly to every example I can find. My webconfig is configured (maybe that is where my issue is) I set up a manual test by forcing the correct values in and I get the same blank page. I have a reference to the 9.0.0.0 versions of Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms and Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common and as you can see my web.config matches my references.
The page appears white - no control is visible. No errors are thrown. As I remembered it, there should at least be a blank Reportviewer control on the page, however there isn't anything there at all.
A few other oddities - If I remove the parameter setting, no error occurrs. I also added code to send in credentials, but that did not work, even when sending in the credentials for the administrator account.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { var qs = ReportQueryString.Parse(Request.QueryString["R"]); reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = ConfigurationHelper.Reports.ReportServerUrl; reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = String.Format(ConfigurationHelper.Reports.ReportPath, qs.ReportName); var result = from p in qs.Parameters select new ReportParameter(p.Key, p.Value); reportViewer.ServerReport.SetParameters(result); reportViewer.ServerReport.Refresh(); }
I have a ReportViewer (ver 10) that is rendering far wider than the box it's meant to display in. The problem is that the Parameters area is appearing much wider than the actual report area. If I put an "overflow: auto" in the div that contains the ReportViewer control, then I get a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom, but then in order to click the "View Report" button I have to scroll way over, thus moving the entire report.
Ideally I would like the Parameters area to stay stationary, but a horizontal scrollbar to appear on the report area so that it can be scrolled if necessary. What is the best way to go about doing this?
A project I own was just moved from an older server to a new one, and in the process of moving the web folder, re-deploying the SSRS reports, restoring the database, configuring IIS, etc... I have lost the ability to view the Microsoft Chart Controls that are embedded in the SSRS reports, that are then displayed by a Microsoft.ReportViewer.
I could view them both locally and remotely (via the internet) on the old server. I can view them if I preview the SSRS report in Visual Studio. The report displays fine, only missing all the embedded charts. I can still view them locally through the web browser, just not from the internet.
I tried giving permissions to the ChartImageHandler temp storage folder, but it didn't work.
I'm getting the Javascript error: Error: ClientReport380ec8ca0c294a809e9986c1bef9db1c is undefined
I'm using ReportViewer Control (2008) and I created a report as an invoice template.
In the invoice, I need to display the company information in multiple lines (and as many lines as the customer likes). So I use the .Net Ajax HtmlEditor for the customer to input the company information and I store these information into the database. I want to know that, how can I display these HTML content in the invoice?
I am getting "ASP.NET Session Expired" error when viewing SQL Server 2008 reports using the Microsoft ReportViewer web control. I found this article http://balanagaraj.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/session-has-expired-in-asp-net/ which suggests to use one worker process in IIS application pool, but that may affect performance, is there any other solution for this? I tried setting "AsyncRendering" to false already and that didn't work.
I have a reportViewer control and I dynamically setting the report path and dataset in the page load event if it is not a post back. This first report displays without issue. However, when I attempt to change the report path / dataset via the onChange event from a dropdown list I get the following error:
A data source instance has not been supplied for the data source "Summary_DataTable1".
This code works fine and the summary report is displayed the first time the page is loaded.
I have a simple web form with a dropdownlist and a ReportViewer. I would like to dynamically change the report within the viewer when the user makes a selection in the dropdownlist. I think I need to alter the ObjectDataSource that the ReportViewer is using. I've tried a few things without success.
I have a formatted table in ReportViewer. When I want to export to Excel though - I do not want to export the formatted table - instead I want to output the original/raw/unmassaged data table in an excel file.
What's the best way to intercept the Export to Excel function and output data in a different format?
I'm pretty sure SSRS doesn't do this on its own, find a third party product that could accomplish what I need from SSRS.
Specifically, I need SSRS to preserve settings when I export a report to excel for such things as excel page headers and footers, print range, column width, etc.
How can I accomplish this with SSRS, or what third party API will accomplish this?
I have an app I am working on that retrieves a report from SSRS using the web service. I've have it saving to PDF, however I would like to change that to excel format. I tried changing the format from "pdf" to "xls" but it throws an exception.
I have a report which is working fine, but when exported to excel sheet. The columns are extending in the excel sheet upto 2 columns like Country column includes A,B cells.Likewise all the other columns are also displayed in two columns. removing this column extension.
I am using the ReportViewer control in Local mode on a web form in an ASP.NET application, and everything is working well. However, I need some expert with something. My app generates certain reports that cannot be exported to Excel. Therefore I would like to either
(1) preferably NOT display the "Excel" option in the Export dropdown list.
(2) detect when the user clicks the Export linkbutton, and then use code to determine what type of export is being done (Excel, PDF, etc).
I have a problem when I am exporting my report to Excel.
When exported to excel, I could see the table header on only the first page but not on all the pages. I have also checked the option "Repeat Header rows on New Page", but that didnt work.
I am developing in .Net 4. I got a button to export grid view's data to excel, but one problem I faced is that the excel's rows height is very very 'short', I have to double click the row to expand it?I am not sure how can I set the height's property? I don see there is an option to do this.I got another version in .Net 3.5, same code though, but works perfect.
I have a user control with a datagrid and few other information on title and summary. I would like to render this control to an Excel file !
The problem is , as soon as i try to open the rendered xls file, Excel reports an error, that the file extension is not valid, and that it is not from a trusted resource.
how to download excel file containing formula like sum and cell protection from a reportviewer?
I had tried to render the end result from the reportviewer to edit it result before exporting it out but reportviewer is only able to render out as byte format.
I got struck while trying to convert the bytes to a table format where i could add the formula in but to not vaild.
