C# - Producing A Form From An Overlay From Reporting Services Rdlc Reports
May 25, 2010
I am not sure what you call it in other technologies, on the IBM i (or iSeries) we call it overlays. The overlay is an image of a form that is stored on the server then a program generates the form with fields from the database so you can eliminate preprinted forms.
I had a problem last year with the method I was trying at the time. It was a rush job at the time to be revisited at a later point. The work-around at the time was to export to PDF. So now it is "later" and once again is a rush (imagine that). This is all done through a web-based interface.
So how do you generate forms from something that was once a preprinted form? What method do you recommend? This is a legal form and must be filled out a certain way and can have many in a batch (up to 50 or so). I would prefer to not have them print one page at a time.
I developed an ASP.net 1.1 web application that is written in VS2203 and I am using Reporting Services 2005 to render some reports in PDF Format. My problem was it is working fine in local (XP) and Production environment (Windows 2003 Server).fromo long back the solution was not working for my integration Server which has windows 2003 Server (1.1) and we installed the 2.0,3.5 frameworks. It is throwing an Object refernce error while render the report. Is there any permisions or something missing.
I am using VWD 2008 with VB.Net code-behind. I have multiple parameterized RDLC reports that use tableadapters in a .xsd dataset that I use a reportviewer to view / export the PDF reports.
Lately, we have noticed that the reportviewer is causing many errors on our webserver and sometimes causing the webserver to crash. It has been recommended to me to move the RDLC reports to SSRS, which we also have up and running on another server.
My question is how do I do this? Do I have to convert them to RDL files? What about the fields on the .aspx pages that supply the parameters? Also, what do I do with the tableadapters?
We want to not use the reportviewer but still have the capability to retrieve the RDLC reports in PDF format.
In VS2008 C# web applications when using Microsoft Reportviewer to create an embedded rdlc report you can generate a report on the screen but when you try to send that same report to the printer by clicking the printer icon on the toolbar you get an error stating:
"unable to load client print control"
How do you get the report to print on the printer?
I m using Client side RDLC reports, the problem which i m facing is that IE shows the report with Print button but Morzilla Firefox does not show print button. How can i rectify the above problem or an alternative soln.
how can we deploy the reports into report server with out using web services from .Net. Is it possible.I need to set the reportserver url at runtime(using an XML file eg: http://localhost/reportserver). Can we do this in your solution?
We currently have two web servers (Windows Server 2008 Standard, IIS7) setup to host an ASP.Net website and are using the basic features of our hardware firewall to provide network load balancing (NLB) between the two servers. This means we have had to change the ASP.Net session state mode to SQL Server in order to make the data stored in session accessible no matter which server responds to the request. The main issue now is that crystal reports (basic edition packaged with VS2008) do not seem to support serialization which is needed in order to store/transfer the report to session state on SQL Server.
From what I have read so far in order to get crystal reports working in a web farm environment it seems the only option is to upgrade to Crystal Reports Server and load the reports from a third server. Another option may be to use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) as we already have this so no extra cost involved, however I'm not sure if SSRS would resolve the issue with storing reports in session?
I want to display values aligned with a header grid. An employee might start from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. for their first break. I am trying to display the values 7:00 and 9:00 aligned with the header.
I can't use the SQL Reporting Services ReportViewer control for security reasons I'm using the SQL Reporting Services web service to get reports When the format of the report is HTML I insert the report in the middle of the page doing this
[Code]....
the important parts are the GetEncoding to convert the Byte[] of the html since a Byte[] is what is returned from SSRS but I'm at a loss for how to do something similar if the format of the report is PDF if the Byte[] contains a PDF how do I show it? I'm able to show the PDF using Response.BinaryWrite(result); after setting the Response.ContentType to pdf but that displays the PDF as the ENTIRE page I have a Master page and the content page has other text and navigation buttons, etc I need to show the pdf in the middle of the page This is an ASP.NET 3.5 application
I'm designing a layout for a report in VS2008 using SSRS/RDLC format. And every time I setup a part of that report i test it on my workstation to see if everything is ok. But, today, i finished the first page of that report and uploaded it to my hosting server (were it's going to be used), and when i press the button to convert the report to .pdf and download it the layout is completely ruined :-/ When i do the same thing in my workstation every thing 'comes out' beautifully, but up on the server it doesn't .
CI have been producing a registration form using html and asp. I have managed to get it to send an email having copied script from a previous website which someone developed for me. I now get the response going to the old address and with then old text. How can I change it all to the new site?
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/reportsthen 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 am currently working on an applicaiton that will use the ReportViewer to display reports in an aspx form.
I have mostly done RDL files but was considering using RDLC this time. With over a dozen reports I will be using stored procedures or inline queries for the datasource.
The problem I am having is that if I use RDLC, I do not know how I can getting around having to do "IF" checks for assigning the proper datasource to the ReportViewer's LocalReport.DataSource.
With the RDL file I do not have that problem since it uses the Procedure created in the report.
Is there a way to dynamically choose the proper datasource for a class of different methods for different reports or is this simply a limitation in using RDLC over RDLS ?
It seems that the RDL development environment is easier from that standpoint.
i'm using sql server 2008 with advance services the below error is of reporting services.."The permissions granted to user 'sysnameASPNET' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)"when i'm trying to host appliction.. the above error is occured..it works fine when i try to execute locally.. but when i try to execute through the IIS i.e host applicationthe above error is displayed.
I have created a drill down report in SSRS which works fine in Visual studio but when deployed and viewed using a report viewer on an asp.net web page it acts funny. It load fine the first time but as soon as i expand any of the drill downs the width of the report suddenly becomes very! lengthy and the details data disappears.

It seems the Print Icon in Reporting Services is now throwing up a Windows Authentication box. Even when entering my domainusername and password, nothing happens. It just keeps popping up?
Our reporting service URL is a http://IP Address/........
Not sure if that has anything to do with it. We did add the I.P. in the Local Intranet Zones but still nothing works.
We are running sql server 2000 with reporting services version 8.00.743.00. Yes, I know it's old, but it works. Anyway it worked up until a week ago. Now when you try to render a report on IE 7 or 8 or Firefox, the windows authentication appears multiple times. The report continues to render fine in IE 6.
I have a SQL Server 2005 database with Windows Credentials. I am trying to pass my credentials from Visual Web Developer to my report but it returns me: "Cannot create a connection to data source". My web application is based on Windows login as well.
I have a problem in deploying the reports. when i try to deploy the reports it shows that Report Sever not working but when i try to start my SQL Server Reporting Services will get the below mentioned error so please can one could suggest me on this.
"Could not Start the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service on local computer
ERROR1053: Service didnt respond to start or control request in a timely fashion"
I am truying to work in my PC with reporting services 2008, but I got this message:
The report server can not decrypt the symmetric key used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a database server reports. You must restore a key from a backup or delete the encrypted content.(RsReportServerDisabled) .
Please suggest me some good reference for learning RDLC reports. Does it provides all the features as provided by BOE3.1(Business Objects Enterprise 3.1).
