VS 2008 Report And Label Production From Web World
Aug 12, 2010
What my clients are used to: VB6 app running locally - can produce reports and labels directly to printers. How do I take that same user now in a web page and have them get that same report or label sent to a printer? Do I need to make a little VB6 or VB.Net app that sits locally to receive the DATASET and perform the print formatting? I should mention that all the print formatting information is in a table in the DB anyway. Or do I need to make PDF's or some other kind of document format on the server and send that to the user from the webpage.
I'm puzzled by this predicament that I'm in right now. I developed a simple application in ASP.NET 2.0 using Visual Studio 2005 and Crystal Reports that came with VS2005. My code works and displays the report correctly with the data on my desktop but when I copy it to the production server to deploy it, everything else runs except for the report which only displays a blank screen.
I've installed Crystal Reports on the server, the IIS setting has the correct ASP.net Framework version. When I view the source on the blank report, it is pointing to the correct path for all the Crystal Reports scripts and images.
I have around 100 rdl report files...what i have found in google is -> open RS Admin site upload each report...doing this manually takes a lot of time... We don't want to use Target report server url method and clicking deploy option to deploy the reports or report project onto the report server...because we are not provided with such production server url information...!! In client perspective...We just give the reports as a rar file...now client will have to extract the report files...and what should be the next step...!! Is there anyway to deploy or upload all the reports at a time...!!
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.
I am new to vwd. I installed vwd express edition 2008 with sql express 2008 in xp sp2. After this i installed report view 2008 addon for vwd express. After the installation i noticed that there is no toolbox in my vwd. Before it was there.
I want to import a DLL (built on VC) in asp.net, and I have a major problem in PRODUCTION Box (IIS 7 and Windows 2008 server). First: I want to say that this DLL works fine in my DEV Box with web application written in C#, and my development server (Win XP SP 3, .NET Framework 3.5 and IIS6). But when I upload my code (web application code + DLL) in PRODUCTION Box (IIS 7 and Windows 2008 server). Web application doesn't work with DLL any more. I am sure that Asp.net knows this DLL well, and if it did'nt recognize it would give me an error, but my problem is that my DLL does'nt works proprely when I run it in IIS 7 under Windows 2008 server. Do you know any solution ? Can it be something with the IIS 7 permissions?
First time i am going to work on (maintenance project) application that is already in production.The application was developed in ASP.net 3.5/C# 3.0(web forms) with jQuery,Ajax,Sql server 2005 and microsoft enterprise library 4.0.,WCF services. Questions (bear with me if my question is wrong)
1) Is it possible to use Visual Studio (2008 with SP1) to debug the remote application (i.e already in production)?.What are the tools do i need to use in order to keep track the things in case something went wrong?
2) Simply looking into Log file ,will solve the issues?
3) After having done with enhancements,is it possible to directly deploy the DLLs into production server.Won't it affect the running application?
what are the procedures i need to follow.Client is ready to provide any tools for my support.(What are the area do i need to aware to handle production system
we are planning to use ASP .NET and Oracle Database, however, I don't know what are the requirements for developement/Production machine besides .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2008 Express edition.I am confused between various providers.
Developement:
.NET Framework/VS 2008 Express.
Production Server.
Win2003 Server with IIS
please correct me if I am missing any other elements required to connect to a remote DB Server or Local one. If any provider is needed how do you deploy it at production server?
I am working on the migration of the server. Our new server is Windows server 2008 with IIS7.0 I have a great difficulty in browsing the pages hosted in virtual directories. I have followed the proper steps of creating a virtual directories and converting them into applications. But when i try to browsing the pages of the virtual directory, i get the 404 error. Note: The .Net Framework 4.0 is installed on the server and the web applications which i am trying to configure in the virtual directories are developed in Visual Studio 3.0. Even the http://localhost also don't work.
How is it possible to browse to one of the .rdl reports in the sql server reporting services on the report server?At present I can succesfully browse to the report by: http://servername/reports then I see a folder called "ReportFiles" which holds the reports (.rdl files)then I click on one of the .rdl files in there to see the report.Do you in asp.net know how I can go to one of the reports?
I have an ASPX Page in which i have Label control and 3 grodview from top to and botton on a webform Named Convert to PDF.When i Click this Button i need to convert the Whole controls on webform to PDF and Display it....
Any Methods are there without use of Third Party Controls or Dll's.
i have created asp.net web application which use Crystal report 2008. Now i want to publish this project. i have installed full version of Crystal report 2008 on server. And all works good. But my bosh does not want Full Crystal Report 2008 to be installed on server. now my question: what i can do?
I have a strange problem with a ASP.net web application. This was developed using Visual Studio 2008 in C# .The web application has been developed, tested and hosted on 32 bit OS without any problem.I have since installed the same Web App on Windows 2008 r2 64bit.
I had to install the Crystal Reports Distribution 64.I now connect to that server via a link and I login.Once logged I have a Main Menu. From there I can select other web pages of which several (not all) have a Crystal Report Viewer on it.I cant be 100% sure but it seems that on the web pages I have a Crystal Report Viewer I get strange behaviour problems from Link Buttons and Buttons. Every time I click on one of these buttons that has a Crystal Report Viewer I get redirected to the Login page.The other pages also have Link Buttons and Buttons but behave as they should.
I need to have a section in my website dedicated to viewing and printing reports.I've created a Reports Table (ReportID, ReportTitle, ReportDescription, ReportCategoryID), so I can display a list of Reports on a page.I also have a ReportCategory Table (ReportCategoryID, CategaoryName, Active).So i could have all the categories in a dropdown perhaps(not sure it's the best option)
Then once a selection is made I can display the reports under that category.Clicking on any of them will then display the report or save it to disk.My question is, should I create a Reports Class? if so, can I get a few pointers
The label part is for display the information from the database. I'm using a button as a trigger to edit that label by changing it to a textbox and I'll be using another button as a trigger to save the changes made in the textbox and then changing it back to a label.
I have created a SSRS report with a tablix and some external images(both .png/.gif). This report is going to be generated for different Languages, so i have used Arial Unicode MS.
I render the report as Attachment on click of the print button (I flush() the byte[] array from the SSRS Render function as Respone on to the page). Report gets generated properly with open/save/cancel. But on click of OPEN the abode reader gets hanged. I tried to save the report and open, but no luck.
Size of the pdf is less than 150 kb. I have Abode ver 9.4 and SSRS 2008.
The bar chart report is showing data on x and y axis (y axis has 3 fields - min, max, avg values for time frame) and x axis has task type. For some reason, the chart only shows task types on the x-axis for some apparently interval, even though I have no interval set expressly.
I'm use to programming in vb.net and doing MsReports.I will add a DataSet with a datatable and then I will add a report.I will populate the report screen with the columns from my dataset which will be available in my toolbar on the left-hand side of my screen. It is a basic drag and drop action.I followed my usual steps in asp.net, but when I try to draw the report, I can't find my dataset.
Why is this?The dataset is named: "dsReport.xsd".The toolmenu where I should see this dataset is labeled: "Website Data Sources"
My client has customers in 100 countries in which a customer can have access to more than a country. So, to show visual appearance to the customer, our client want to show world map and fill each country with a different color where the customer has access to.
Is there anyway to do this in ASP.NET?
If not ASP.NET, Is their any third party which does this stuff.
