Print Name (field from dataset) On Every Page (Page Header)

Hello,

I am using the ReportViewer control and Client-Side Processing to display a Training Report that works great.

However, I need find a way to have one of the fields of my dataset display on every page of the report (Page Header).

I receive this message "The Value expression for the textbox FName refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers".

Is there a way to get this field to appear on every page of the report (preferably at the top).

Thanks for any help that you can provide me.

This is easy all what you need to to is to add ne parameters which get his value from your dataset fileds and then use this parameters in your page header or footer read this turtorial it will help you

hey

I told the answerin different post ( http://forums.asp.net/t/1160246.aspx ), but repeat it for you

you should define a Parameter for your report from Layout section ,then ( right click insome empty place in outeside of your report table, you'll see a context menu with 4 Items , select the Report Parameter) ,then create a Textbox inside your Header or Footer , then rightclick onthe textbox and and select Expression , then put the followingcode in it .

=Parameters!ReportFooterParameterName.Value

goodluck ,|||

I appreciate the help. I am not quite sure what to do when setting up the Report Parameters to fill this textboxt with the field from my dataset. Would you mind giving me a little guidance in this area?

I am getting the message A Value expression used for the report parameter 'Name' refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in report parameter expressions.

Thanks again!

ok ,

let me describe it for you

there is 2 different type of value in reporting server ,

1 ) the filed that you provide by DataBase that will display like Filelds!DBFiledName.Value

2 ) the filed that you provide by getting information fromuser or from yourexisting Query this type of values called Parameters and will display asParameters!ReportFooterParameterName.Value

when you want to show oneparameter inHeader orFooter ,you can't useFields it means all the textbox that you put in header / footer , shouldcomplete byParameters ,

for sending parameters to header or footer , you have2 option ,

Take it FromUser or programmatically fill the Parameter , in commonly uses , we set the parameters Programatically , like

@.myParameter = "hello world!"

when I use the myParameter in Header, itwill display thehello world! ,

but if youuse the Fields inHeader or Footer it cousean error thatyou taken it .

for sending a parameter to your header , pleaseread the post above ,

Thank you , 7 Goodluck

Print Layout Settings

How can I set default print properties for a report in a ReportViewer control?

Do I have to set it by the report or by the ReportViewer?

I mean properties like A4 page, and Landscape layout?

?|||

The print properties can be defined in the RDL. The page size, width, etc.. are properties in the RDL. The layout for landscape can be pre-set by setting the width and hight to 11x8.5.

Print Icon does not function

Hello,

I display my reports through ReportViewer embedded into my ASP.Net application. The Print icon on the ReportViewer works fine on my computer but on other computers. It does not bring the window so that user select the printer. And sometimes I see "Problems with this web page might prevent it from being displayed properly"

Why does this happen and how can I resolve it for all the computers.

For some reason - I like you - you are always encountering a problem - which means you experiment!

Print event in ReportViewer?

Hi All,

How can I use the Print event of ReportViewer control in my web application? I am trying to print a server report automatically so that the user does not have to click on the Print button in the tool bar of the report viewer.

I came across one article that talks about the Print event -

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms318531.aspx

But I could not find it in VS2005 version that I am using.

Please let me know if there is a method to print the report automatically other than exporting it to some file and printing it from there.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I am trying Using System.Drawing.Printing, but failed!

Anyone help me!

|||

You only get the Print event in the WinForms version of the ReportViewer control, not in the WebForms version. Perhaps you are in a web-app?

Take a look at the sample printer delivery extension that ships with the product: It will allow you to send a report to a printer without even first viewing it (although you could view it, too, if you wanted to...)

Print data from an ASP.NET ReportViewer that contains multiple pages from FireFox?

Hi,

I have this application in which I am using a number of reports containing one or more pages. When using IE as explorer, the printing button is be?ng displayed properly. When clicking that button, everything works as it should. But when using Firefox as browser, the print button doesn't show up. So I thought about going to the menu of the browser and choose File > Print. The result looks just like a printscreen and when the report contains multiple pages, I am not able to print them in a decent way.

On the internet I read the main reason for this is that Firefox does not work with ActiveX-Objects. In this way it would not be possible to print out the pages!

Can anyone help me out?

Thx a lot!

Recloose!

Print button not showing in Firefox -- ReportViewer control

Hi, I'm having a problem with the ReportViewer control (Reporting Service 2005) in Firefox. Neither the print button nor the Search box are showing up, even when I explicitly set them to be visible. They are showing up fine in IE.

Anyone else had this problem?

When you look at the HTML source, it's clear why it is not showing up. The following code does not even appear in the Firefox version (most important part in bold):

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" ToolbarSpacer="true" style="display:inline;">
<tr>
<td style="width:20px;"></td>
</tr>
</table>

<div id="RptView_ctl01_ctl07" style="display:inline;font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;height:30px;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="display:inline;">
<tr>
<td height="28px"><div id="RptView_ctl01_ctl07_ctl00">
<table id="RptView_ctl01_ctl07_ctl00_ctl00" onmouseover="HoverImageRptView_ctl01_ctl07_ctl00_ctl00.OnHover();" onmouseout="HoverImageRptView_ctl01_ctl07_ctl00_ctl00.OnNormal();" title="Print" style="display:none;">

Is the "print control" IE-only?

|||I believe that the print controler is an active x controler and that firefox does not suport active x. so yeah the print control would appear to be IE only. however you might be able to find a plugin for firefox that would allow you to run active x|||

Actually, the Microsoft documentation says certain things do not work in non-IE browsers, but the print button is not one of them.

Honest to God, I think Microsoft is just lazy or arrogant sometimes. It's not THAT hard to get printing from a non-IE browser to work. I was able to do it when I had my own custom page to display Reporting Service reports. If I can do it, surely the well-paid gurus at Microsoft can do it!

Grrrrr....I may have to put in code to generate my old custom stuff for non-IE browsers. My custom page does not work as well as the Report Viewer control, so I really would rather not do that.

|||Yeah, it's because they implemented it as an ActiveX control, which is totally the wrong direction to be heading. Microsoft should be moving away from ActiveX since other browsers don't support it (although I think there is a plug-in that allows Firefox to use at least some ActiveX controls). Plus it is a major focal point for security exploits and bugs, it would be better if it was removed from the browser environment entirely.

Hi Cynthia - I know what you are feeling. I moved over most of my clients to LGX Report (www.logixml) because of that issue and similar ones. For most of my clients IE only is not a solution that works. The Logi product is zero footprint and integrates easily with ASP.NET applications. It's also free, but I have one client who needed more features available on their paid version.

Good luck

Hi,

In my case the print icon is not displayed in the report viewer viewed through the IE.(in the client server)

But able to see the same in our local network

|||Probably security. You are probably allowed to use ActiveX controls in a trusted site (your network), but outside of that the security restrictions prevent using ActiveX controls. If they add your site to the trusted sites in the IE security area, they will likely be able to see the print button. Just my hunch.

Print Button

I have a web application with a stand alone report. When I put the ReportViewer in the webform I can see every reports in the project. The problem is that I can't see the print report button...

If I indicate that the report is a "Server Report" instead a local report the Print Report appear, but a need a "Local Report" not a "Server Report" How can i solve that.

Thank you.The ASP.NET version of the ReportViewer control does not support client print (which is accomplished with an ActiveX control) in local mode. We are considering adding this in a future release.
