What is the most elegant way to pass RDL file, SQL and Connection string to ReportViewer Control on Winform C# project for displaying report at run time. Introduction: I recently started working on Report creation on Windows. I found that RDLC files act as static files with no need for Connection string or SQL statements, so we need to pass DataSource to it in order to fill it with data at run time. This does not serve our purpose. RDL files however can take SQL statements and Connection String which they save in XML tags and are used for generating Dynamic reports. Given that I have RDL

I need a row value in my SSRS report that is a calculated one based on a couple of fields that are already being used in the report. I want it to display in the textbox named 'textboxPercentageValue'. In semi-plain English, the expression/formula is: If the value of the "Week" field is "WK1", display the value of the Variance field divided by the value of the Price field; otherwise, just display the value from the Variance field. In VB script gobbledygook, the expression/formula I've add to textboxPercentageValue's Value propert is: =IIF((Fields!Week.Value="WK1"), Fields!Variance.Value /

I found the colspan and rowspan property defined in TablixCell,but in report Designer still can't vertical merge cells,if i modify the RDL xml file manually set Rowspan,the reportViewer show me error info: RowSpan must be 1 for CellContents inside a TablixCell. is there any other way to implement vertical merge cells of tablix ? You have to use Matrix instead of Table. I resolved my this problem by creating a matrix same to tablix, below: Insert a Matrix. Right Click->Insert->Matrix Change groupable row to detail row.

When publishing a reporting services report. Where does the actual .RDL file sit on the server? I can redownload the .RDL file via browsing through the report manager? But where is this file situated on the reporting services server? Thanks gbn It is not a file on the server. It stored as a BLOB in the ReportServer database.

I have a Reporting Services 2005 report that had an error: "Parameter UserID is read-only". After doing some research, I found a solution that worked.

So, I figure I will download the modified RDL so I can see the change and get the corrected RDL into my source code repository. So, I download the RDL: But my diff tools tell me that the "before" version of the RDL is identical to the "after" version of the RDL. Convinced that my diff tool was mistaken, I tried
