When do we use client side reporting and when do we use server side reporting? Which reporting is best practice (client/server)? This pertains to SSRS reporting. lomaxx Well... client side reporting you'd use if you've got something like a winforms client that you can't guarantee will have constant access to the data source. It might have a set of data cached on the client side which you need to report on even if the connection to the server is unavailable. Server side reporting you'd use in the scenario where you either need to simplify the report distribution and deployment as you just

This is the desired result I need to populate as a report, where xx is number of people. I have a table which has fields like: ---------- table1 ---------- id state year(as Quarter) gender I need to determine the count from id and populate as a report. The year is like 20081, 20082..20084 (in quarter). I have created a dataset using this query: SELECT STATE,GENDER,YEAR,COUNT(*) FROM TABLE 1 GROUP BY STATE,GENDER,YEAR From this query I could populate the result ex: ca, m , 20081,3 ny, f , 20091,4 From the above query I could populate the count and using group by(row) state(in ssrs). I need to

I'm trying to create a Microsoft SQL Report in Visual Studio 2012. My data input for the report is an XML binary file stored in a database. To break it down, this is what I would like to do: Retrieve the XML binary file from the database Populate the report with the content of the XML Create a PDF version of the report Step 1 and 3 are not a problem. But step 2 is. I don't know how to use the XML data in a dataset so I use it in the report. Is there something fundamental I'm missing? I have created many reports before by using just data from a database but never from XML. Thank you. Serge

Is there any way of turning off the header for a CSV export on just one SSRS report? I'm using Report Builder 3 and I deleted the headers from the report, but when exporting to CSV they're back. I can't find anywhere to turn them off. I've seen this question but it seems to cover all reports on the server, I only need to turn the headers off for a couple. You can't do anything with the data driven subscription out of the box. It might be possible to write a custom subscription extension to do it. You also cannot do anything about exporting directly from Report Builder, unless you did something

I created the pie chart in SSRS as given below. I enabled the labels by right clicking on pie chart and click show labels. When I preview the chart I cant see all the labels. The only label visible is for the biggest portion in the pie. I tried to increase the size of the chart but no effect. Any idea? No info is available but finally I learned the trick. I think there is a bug because of which only one label is shown (403 in my case) on the pie chart. To solve the problem follow the steps: Right click on the pie chart and change it to line chart. Now on individual bar right click and select

In a web application I'm working on the ReportViewer keeps giving me a error "Missing URL parameter: Name". I have found the cause but not a solution. The url that is causing the exception from the report viewer Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?ReportSession=3bkunv2wte3wmnabkquyr1y0&ControlID=1e2b5870e07b46abac7fd32a9e0e4b9d&Culture=1033&UICulture=1033&ReportStack=1&OpType=ReportArea&Controller=ctl00_ASPxRoundPanel3_PageContent_Wizard1_ReportViewer1&PageNumber=1&ZoomMode=Percent&ZoomPct=100&ReloadDocMap=true&SearchStartPage=0&LinkTarget=_top if you notice in the query string instead of "

If you have multiple report subscriptions that are set to be triggered at the same time will all of them start at that time and run concurrently? That is, if you have too many reports scheduled for a particular time they run the risk of using up too much system resources and failing? Do shared subscriptions function differently? I'm interested in the answer to this for any version of SSRS as my organisation manages environments with SSRS 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012. I've tried searching MSDN and google but I haven't been able to find anything definitive. I would imagine that separate
