Help Needed For reporting service 2005(Rendering in PDF)

Hi experts
I am working on sql server reporting services 2005.
Now a days i m developing a text report. Which shows text for selected
parameters.
I have added more table headers in my layout. And i am using one row
for heading and just below row for description.
This description is comming from database so it is variable, somtimes
it is having ony 100 chars and some times it is
having more than 20000 chars. Problem starts here when the number of
charcters are less then report is looking good in PDF
But when it is more then the description row moves on next page. I
have tried this by selecting the table property "Fit table in one page
if possible"
I have once cheked this property and once unchecked this but result is
same. Report looks good in report viewer but not looks good in PDF
format.
MY another question is it possible that i can bind two rows in the
table that if second rows goes in the second page then
the row above also goes on next page. RIght now heading row appears on
first page in pdf and then second row starts on new page after leaving
all the available space on first page.
So please if any body have any idea about my problem, Please help me.
Any help will be gratefull.

Help Needed For Date format in SSRS 2005

Hi experts,
I am working on SQL server 2005 reporting services and i am getting a
problem.
I am developing a report in which i am taking two parameters
one is FromDate and second is ToDate and i have changed thier Data
type as Date Time.
So it is giving callender control in reports. And default values for
both parameter is todays system date.
Now I want these dates in dd/mm/yyyy format so i changed the setting
of my system for the required date format.
In parameter selection box date format is correct it is comming in dd/
mm/yyyy format.
But again I am using a text box in the report body which tell us a
message that this report is contains the data between these dates.
For this I am using the expression
="The following data is for the period between " & Parameters!
FromDate.Value & " and " & Parameters!ToDate.Value
So here i am getting these dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format.
I have tried this also
="The following data is for the period between " & Parameters!
FromDate.Label & " and " & Parameters!ToDate.Label
The no date is comming in the text box.
I have tried Cdate function and other functions in DateTime function
which are available in the reporting services property box, But i am
not finding the solution for this problem.
So if any body is having any idea about this then please help me.
Any help wil be appriciated.
Regards
DineshHi Dinesh,
Make sure the report language is set to Australia (or any other language
that supports this format by default) , you find this under the properties
dialog box when you only select the form (not any controls on it).
Cheers

Parameters!ToDate.Value.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy")
or
DateTime.Parse(Parameters!ToDate.Value).ToString("dd/mm/yyyy")
or
CDate(Parameters!ToDate.Value).ToString("dd/mm/yyyy")
I don't remember which one works or not
good luck!

help nedded for MS reporting service 2000

Hi,
I am working on microsoft SQl server 2000 reporting services. I am
developing an application in c#.net in VS2003 which
will call reports in windowds forms and ask for user to select the
parameters for them.
Till now i had finished . Now I want to select multiple values for
parameters. and wants that for each combination a seprate report will
be drawn and it the end all the reports are merged in to one.
i.e.
suppose there are two parameters in a report and there are 10 available
values for first one and 20 for second parameter.
now i have selected 2 values for first parameter and 4 for second
parameter.
how this i can do in my program.
Please help me. because i am not finding any way to do it.
Thanks And Regards
DineshYou are not finding it because you cannot do this in RS 2000. RS 2000 does
not support multi-select parameters. RS 2005 does.
If it is possible to go to RS 2005 I would. For one thing, VS 2005 comes
will new controls that make integrating with RS much much easier. Plus RS
2005 has many good improvements: multi-select parameters, end user sorting,
performance improvements, etcs.

>|||hi.......
i think u could not understand my problem properly.....
i know it is possible........
I had done the rendering and pring part of this for RS2000.
I had developed an application which will show all the reports on
report Server in a combobox.
here user will select a report if it contains parameters then it will
draw that many checklist boxes on the form if it does not have any
parameter then it will ask from user to select a format in which he
wantthe report.
now user will select a value for each parameter from checklistbox by
checking a single value in each check list box.
now those valuse will be passed in the rendor method to draw the
report.
after that report is drawn and printed.
till now i had finished.
now i wan to selct multiple values in checklistboxes.
suppose there are 2 parameters and user has selected 3 values in first
one and 2 values in second one
then i will get 6 parameters to pass in render method.
then after passing one set i will get one report i will store it in a
string varible and append others after it. ie. i will got total 6
reports which will be merged one after others.
if it is always fixed then no problem i can do it in for loop.
but since number of parameters are not fixed so i want to know how can
get the parameters set dynamically. for any combimation of parameters.
i.e.
i want each combination of parameter and want to pass it to render
method whioch i wrote in a seprate function.
Hope i have explained my problem completely.
if any body have any idea please tell me.
Regards
Dinesh

I am trying to have both comma delimited and tab delimited output
option from sql 2000 reporting services. I have updated the config file
to have 2 output option in the render section of the config file. But I
always get 2 options listed on the dropdown as CSV - Comma Delimited, I
didn't get the tab-delimited option. Why my code in the config file
didn't get affected? Anything else I have to do, or is it all possible
in RS 2000.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

help me with a bit of a practice issue...

Ok.

I recently started developing a web site for a client using storefront.net and ms sql server.

the db schema of storefront.net has autonumbers as the PKs for the products table (even though the products table contains an additional field for product_number.)

So here's my dilemma if you care to read:

I typically develop local, deploy remote (after testing). I have a local SQL server, and then the remote SQL server.

When I'm developing for this project, I'll insert data such as products to the products table (sometimes several times while i'm working out routines to import data to the products table.) this has the effect of creating a unique ID for each product based upon SQL auto-incrementing INTs.

This StoreFront.net (SF.NET) has another table that is a lookup table. For each part number, it has a corresponding categoryID number.

Now, if i have product_ID 1234, and I set the category ID to say 10 and get it working on my local box, every thing is fine.

Here's where the problem comes in: When I use DTS to transfer the database during remote deployment, each product is inserted into the remote DBs products table and gets a NEW product id. Same with the categories.

This has the effect of breaking the relationships. (SF.NET has no ref integrity nor relationships defined in the db.) let's say my product_id 1234 gets put into the remote copy, it'll get a new product_ID (PK). let's say it's now 5775. now my category ID will also get a new value. so my data is now not related.

I don't know how to handle this situation. The unique IDs generated on my local sql will nearly almost always be different from those generated on the remote db.

How do i handle this situatoin is my question? advice, guys?why are you using the product_id in the relation...shouldn't you be relating the product_number to the categoryId... rather ? which will stay fixed... ?|||well, not to be a smart alec, but duh. that's what should be done.

problem is the team who wrote this SF.NET app don't do that. they use the productID autonumber and categoryID autonumber.

so for example, when you use their merchant tools to set a product into a category, behind the scenes they are using the autonumber id of the product and not the REAL product number. same with category ID.|||I personally prefer the way StoreFront has implemented a surrogate key. This is somewhat of a religious topic in that proponents of each method are pretty adamant that "their" way is right :-)

Anyway, with DTS there is an option to "Enable identity insert" on the Options tab. Turning this on should cure your problem.
