I'm generally very experienced but CrystalReports and ReportViewer give me little joy.I'm a web developer but I don't think that explains everything.All I want is to report a table from a database. Why do I need to specify a Value field? Can I use a LINQ to SQL object to insert fields to the report.There seems to be a serious lack of tutorials in all these areas.
How to combine two table in a database to create a single report. For example I am having two tables in a database linked each other by means of primary and foreign key I cant able to combine these two tables while designing in aspx window. I can able to combine in .rdl file that is normal ssrs, when coming here (.rdlc) I cant able to combine the two tables. I am using VS2008 and SQL2008.
Me with C#.Net 2.0 I am generating reports using report.rdlc in my application. In my report.rdlc I have a table to list item details (name,qty,price,amount) in the footer of the report.rdlc amount is sumed to show total amount. How can I show this table in such a way that if only 1 or 2 products are there it should fill the whole page (products at the top and rest blank) and the total amount should be shown at the bottom of the page
We have a problem that in IE8 some of table rows (made by Reporting Services) are cut if compatibility mode of a browser is set to on (exactly a page is cut on bottom and left side and it is not visible). So we have to explain at every customer to disable compatibility mode. Does exist any way to display report page correctly even if a compatibility mode is on? Is this a bug?
I am working on a simple table with 5 columns with a header and detail records. I need to format those detail records so that when I export to excel the formating stays with it.
how to set the height of table row details become auto in report viewer? due to my data maximum length is 300, however some data may be short till 10 characters.how to make the height become auto and depends on the content of data?
I am using a reportviewer control to display some key reports on my page. These reports are RDLC reports and some of them have multiple tables in them each being fed by a separate datasource.
There are times when some datasets do not return any values. When this happens these table show up as blank with just the headers in them.
Is there a way to hide a table, when there is no data returned by a Dataset (or the filter) on the table?
At the least, can a message "No Rows Returned be Displayed" when there is no data?
In my report1.rdlc I have a table which use to fill with the dataset value. Some times the table in the dataset may have only 1 row some times 5,10 etc.How can I make the table in the report.rdlc such that at all times it should show minimum 5 rows ie if the dataset table contains only 1 row the report.rdlc table should contain 1 row with data and rest 4 rows blank
I am trying to call a reporting services report in Report view if I click ID For example, if I click ID 1001 ..it will pass the parameter 1001 And run a reporting services report in Report viewer on new web page..
How can I do this? Is there a example I can take a look?
Report viewer from SQL reporting services in VS 2008 report control If I create a new report in VS 2008 they have a .rdlc extension and work correctly.
I have some reports that I was using in SQL reporting services. Extensions are .rdl and want to get them to work with VS 2008.
I copied the rdl files and the .rdl.data files over to VS 2008 (SP1) project but when I go to select the report in the control it does not see the file (I assume it is looking for a .rdlc file)
I tried rename the file to .rdlc and loaded the file up and got
The report definition has an invalid target namespace [URL] which cannot be upgraded.
I see this
[URL]
[URL]
It says
"RDL files are fully compatible with the ReportViewer control runtime. However, RDL files do not contain some information that the design-time of the ReportViewer control depends on for automatically generating data-binding code. By manually binding data, RDL files can be used in the ReportViewer control."
But the link for how to manual bind the data is broken.
Can you please point me to an example of how to implement drill down in RDLC? I am in a situation where the first report appears perfectly, but when I click on a drill down link , i get an error A data source instance has not been supplied for the data source 'RecuirtmentDataSet_ProfileTracker'.
I am working with SSRS reports .I have one report called AllOrderDails with Order_No, Order_Date, Project_Name, Boiler_Name, RefNo, Total_NoItems, Total_GrossWeight, Expected_Date .It shows all order Details ,when i click Order_No it shows another report called OrderDetails.It shows only single Order_No details....In OrderDetails page i am using one textbox for back .It is for going back to AllOrderdetails.
My problem is when i click Order_No in AllOrderDetails page it's show OrderDetails page withrelated Order_No,when i click back it goes to AllOrderDetails Page but It's not displaying any data...
Well it's finally time to stop ignoring my unit's need for reports. I keep coming to dead ends. I gave up the crystal reports idea, and ssrs seems a little easier. Now the problem is that I'm creating a report locally on my laptop, then will change the connection string, upload it to my server and have it run against an identical database on the server.
I'm using SQL Server Express locally, and when I try to create a dataset (using the wizard), I can see the tables, but when I try to add one, I get an error message "Could not retrieve schema information for table or view". I looked up this error and there isn't much useful info on it. I guess it some bug when trying to use SS Express? Is there a work around for this? Can I create the report programmatically? Should I use a different kind of reporting service?
We have deployed our ASP.NET application on the target machine. The application contains some crystal reports (rpt files) and while invoking we pass on the database connection details. It is working fine on the test server. But on the target server, the crystal report while being invoked asks for the database connection details. It asks four parameters as Server, database, user id, password. Out of these, the first two text boxes are disabled. The Server editbox shows the ip of the server that I passed. But the database parameter is shown blank. I was expecting the initial catalog that I set in the connection string. user id is showing the user id I passed.
I'm looking for the Report Header section in the Report Services report and can only see Page Header/Page Footer, where can I find the Report Header/Report Footer? or RS doesn't have them? My problem is, I use the Page Header to include the Report Name & Desc. along with client's Logo, it works however my client doesn't want the Page Header to show on every page just the first page is good enough save papers and keep larger report small.
