    - Report Viewer 2.0 Windows Authentication Hello, We have an public site with a page now using ASP.NET 2.0 and the 2.0 Report Viewer control (we previously tried this with RS 2000 for many, many months). It is connecting to a (NAT'd FQDN) SQL2005 Report Server using default Windows authentication. There is a local user setup on the Report Server that I want this public site to connect as (I can do this by typing credentials). I do not want and can not have the pop-up windows authentication. HOW DO I AUTHENTICATE WITHOUT TYPING IN CREDENTIALS? We are a Gold Partner and would really appreciate a direct solution to this issue. There has been countless similar requests that come up on all kinds of searches, yet no direct solution. We don't need to know that you have to implement "IReportServerCredentials". Please provide an exact example of how this is accomplished. If you can provide it in VB.NET even better. Thanks. Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49879

    - XML Error on new Report Creation I've got a real annoying problem. I'm trying to do SSRS project that is of course already late. And I have been stopped cold by this freaky error. So I'm using VS.Net 2005, Reporting Services 2005 and have the Business Intelligence Projects in my VS.Net. I create a new Report Project. I right click on the Reports folder in the project and CHoose Add-->New Item-->Report. At which point VS creates the RDL file, opens it and gives me a gray screen that says, "The XML Document is not well formed. It contains the following error: There are multiple root elements. Line 27. Position 2." I open the RDL file in a text editor and it looks fine. I open it in Firefox and IE and they both agree that I've got a well formed xml document. I zipped up the project, sent it to my co-worked, he opened it on his system with no problem. Looks just like a blank report. I end up, un-installing VS.Net and Sql 2005 then re-installing them. In the thought that maybe something along the way had put a dent in the VS Business Intelligence on my system. But that proved to be noting but a big waste of time. So here I am, with a system that cannot even open a brand new blank report, much less hope to work on the exisitng report that's giving me issues. If anybody has any suggestions or opinions, I would love to hear them. Thanks, Geoff Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49878

    - Too many columns in a Matrix I have a need to report on all the ticket numbers assigned to each indiviual. Currently, i have one report that queries for all the individuals, and in the table calls a subreport. In the subreport is a matrix that displays all the tickets assigned to that individual. The problem that i'm having is that if there are more than 10 tickets assigned to any 1 individual, then the ticket numbers scroll off the screen. Is there some way to force a line feed after the 10th column in a matrix? Thanks in advance. Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49871

    - Schedule and Delivery Processor Error I am having issues with getting our Development Report Services Server to schedule any reports to run. Recently, I had to change our service account to a non-expiring one and now I get the following in our Event Log. Schedule and Delivery Processor Failed to decrypt symmetric key. Most likely cause is the serivce username has changed. Our setup is as follows: W2K3 Web Server (running Reporting Services) and a seperate SQL 2000 Enterprise Server housing the Reporting Services database. I have run the rsconfig and the rsactivate after changing the service account which completed successfully. Does anyone have any suggestions, short of totally reinstalling, to get this error corrected and the scheduler working? Thanks, Greg Quinn Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49870

    - Pls Help with Layout I havent used sub reports or done anything too fancy like embeddinig them in a group or something. I have a report which has summary data and detail data to be displayed ... nothing unusual I am sure. I have set it up using a table and have the summary group working ... now how do I get it to display the detail for each summary group in between the summary group lines ... and perhaps even as a subreport or area that can be shown/hidden ... so they first see all the summary and then can selectively display the detail. This has to be exportable to PDF so I should mention that right up front since I know that poses problems sometimes. this is the summary level resource name errors timeouts slow response percent available www.123.com 2 1 1 99.99% www.hello.com 0 0 2 99.99% this is the detail level (resource name followed by detail lines) www.123.com start time end time duration (min) 2005-01-01 12:00:00am 2005-01-01 12:01:00am 1 2005-01-02 11:00:00am 2005-02-01 11:01:00am 1 Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49869

    - Login failed for user 'null' I am using SQL Server 2000 and VS.net 2003 with Reporting Services. I have deployed several reports. I am trying to open a report to edit it. When I click on the data tab, I get the following error: A connection cannot be made to the database. Set and test the connection string. Login failed for user 'null'. Reson: not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I can open a different report and it works fine. I am connecting to the exact same db with the exact same credentials. I am using the "use a specific username and password" option and using a read only account created in SQL Server. I can test the connection and it says it connects successfully. What is going on? It is so random. Of all my reports, some have this problem and then others don't and they are all using the same connection. What can I do to edit this report?

    - Help! Parent Group I need a better explanation of when I need to choose a parent group on the grouping and sorting tab. I have 3 groups client, state, city. I need to use document map labels and the hierarchy needs to be client state city on the grouping and sorting tab I enter expression to group on for group 1 it is CLIENT and the document map is CLIENT for group2 it is State and the Document Map is State and the parent group is Client for group3 it is City and the Document Map is City and the parent group is State. Is this correct? It renders correctly with the proper document map hierarchy in preview mode ... but when I export to PDF then I lose the hierarchy for some reason. I am confused. I havent seen a very good explanation about when to use parent group and when not to. Please dont send a reference to the manager/employee recursive example as I dont really get that. If you are only supposed to use the parent group for recursive hierarchies then why does it seem to work other times and not work if I dont put something under the parent group?

For example: Company A starts to show half way down Page 2 and continues half way down Page 3. I would like to have Company A continued... on Page 3 in the group header. I am using SQL2000 and developing the report in VS 2003 with SP2 -- Thank you. Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49790

    - Deploying a report to remote server I would like to develop a report remotely for a customer, and then deploy it on their intranet at their location. Basically all development is off-site, and I will travel onsite to install the completed SRS report. They do not have a licensed copy of Visual Studio .NET, so none of the development/maintenance will be done on their server. When I go to install SRS on their server, I will only install the Server components, not the client components. With that said, how do go about getting the actual report installed / deployed on their server? I can do it locally on my development box using "deploy" from within VS.NET, but how do I do it "manually" on a box without VS.NET? What report "files" do I need to copy from my machine, and what needs to be setup in IIS? Thanks Vikram Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49789

    - SortedColumn property I am using the interactive sort in RS 2005 on a RS Table. The sorting works great. The only problem is when the user prints they do not have the icons to show them what is sorted. I would actually prefer to pull the information from a SortedColumn property of the RS Table and then dynamically print it in a textbox above the table. I have not found the SortedColumn property, but I am hoping I have not just missed it in the documentation. Thanks for any assistance.

    - Snapshot Error I'm trying to generate a snapshot of a linked report that passes the userid into a stored procedure to generate default parameter values. The report itself works ok. But when I try to create a snapshot I get the following error: "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help The Value expression for the query parameter â??@NetworkLoginNameâ?? has a user profile dependency. (rsRuntimeUserProfileDependency) Get Online Help " Can anybody explain what the "user profile dependency" means? Tag: trying to understand Report Viewer control Tag: 49787

Hi,

I am still trying to get my head around the ReportViewer control. I thought
that this control would enable me to run reports without connecting to the
database. Am I wrong?

I tried the walkthrough "Using a Database Data Source with the ReportViewer
Windows forms control in Local Processing Mode". However, when I moved the
project to another computer without a database, it looked for a database.

What I thought was that this control would "embed" the data so that the
report (embedded as the ReportViewer control in my VB form) could be run
anywhere in an exe file.

Please can someone help me understand what is meant by Local Processing mode.
And, can I distribute reports offline (no connection to the company
database) using this control? Or do I have to resort to exporting html
reports?

Thanks!

Hi PacMan,

"Local Mode" does not mean that reports can be run without a database. It
means that they can be run without a report server. In local mode, the
client application is responsible for providing that data necessary to run
the reports.

This is explained here:
