Print Layout feature showing black

Today I received a Windows Update that included SQL 2005 SP2. Since
that time whenever I try to use the "Print Layout" feature in
Reporting Services, it shows nothing but black. Does anyone know of a
fix for this?Here you go: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935356/en-us
This is the new cumulative update that should fix your issue. You'll need

Reporting Services may show a solid black page.

Print Issues with Reporting Services

I developed and deployed a report using VS.net. Reporting Services gives you the option on the web page to print the report or export to another format. When choosing to print, I am unable to get the report to print in landscape mode on standard letter paper. What is the relationship between the margin properties (which seem to have no impact) on the report? the body of the report? and the printer?
The report size doesnt seem to matter (10 x 7.5 inches) tried changing margins here also
The body size doesnt seem to matter (9.75 x 7 inches) and here

Does the issue lie with
a) the printer properties
b) Reporting services
c) IE
Im stumped!!

Hopefully, you are using the Sep. CTP or later, since there was a known issue earlier with landscape printing. After the report server was upgraded, I still had to manually delete the old RSClientPrint Class file on my PC, which was cached under the "Downloaded Program Fles" folder (RTM version is: 2005,90,1399,0).

Print icon not showing up in RS

Has anyone ever seen the print icon not show up in the top toolbar in
Reporting Services? Normally, the print icon shows between the refresh
button and the help button. We saw one instance where the print icon
was not showing: it was just the refresh and help button together. Does
anyone know what could cause this? Is this security related? Thanks.
JustinMy guess is the user of the PC is not in the administrator's group (local
administrators group) and the activeX control is not getting installed.

Print button generates hugh spooled print files

Hi!
We are currently using a different third party tool to print out pdf-files
generated from SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. We are a fairly large
international cooperation and have a centralized citrix it environment with
different band width to different places in the world. This makes the print
file size critical.
Because there havenâ't been any really good ways to print out reports before
sp2 we have hoped a lot of the sp2 print functionality. Now itâ's installed in
our test enviromnet and we are pretty disappointed.
It seems like the reports are converted to tiff-format and then printed and
the print file size is huge. We tested to print out a report with six pages
(A4-format) with different techniques and this is the result when it comes to
spooled print file sizes:
1. Using RS print button (14.1 MB)
2. Exporting to TIFF-format from RS and than print (14 MB)
3. Exporting to PDF-format and print with gsprint (ghostscript) using a
windows generic print driver (1.43 MB)
4. Exporting to PDF-format and print with gsprint (ghostscript) using a
print driver specialized for the current printer, hp laserjet (852 KB)
5. Exporting to PDF-format and print with acrobat reader (531 KB)
I have a couple of questions regarding this:
1. Is this right? Is the report converted to TIFF-format when pressing the
print button and is it right that the spooled print file should be this large
and in that case why is it done in this way?
2. Is there any work around for this? Is there any way to get a smaller file?
3. Is this the way it will be implemented in SQL Server 2005 as well?
Regards,
/MattiasHi Mattias,
I also noticed the problem and posted a while back but not got a reply yet
(we too also use Citrix and need to address the bandwidth issue!).

Previous Month Name in Report Header

I'm failry new to Reporting Services and I need to put the name of the
previous month into the Report Header. For example I need it to look like
"November 2004..." How would I go about getting this into the Report Header.
Thanks in advance,
BJYOu can use: =Now().AddMonths(-1)
If you want to format it to display the way you showed, you can use:
=format(Now().AddMonths(-1), "MMMM dd, yyyy)

I have a date being passed in and I need to display the previous month of
that date. So in a text box I put this
=datetime.parameter!startdate.addmonths(-1).tostring("MMMM")
but get only errors.
Has anyone had to do this before?

Previewing a URL image in Reporting Services

Hi all
I need to place an image from a web site onto a RS report. Is it possible to
do this in SRS 2000?
IE. http://<servername>/<directory>/<image.jpg> and render the image on the
report?
Thanks in advance
GeorgeRephrasing the question:
I've assigned the image control value to be a database field containing a
valid URL however I'm getting a red cross when trying to display the report.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Or if you drag the image control from toolbox, you will see 4 options for
image source, you need to choose Image Source = "Web" which the 4th option.
Then click next and leave the URL empty...totally tempty... then click
finish. Then you can edit the value of the image to the database field...
which is full valid url.

Preview/Print/Save reports

Hi

I have done many Reports using SQL 2005 Reporting Services and I can access them by:

http://localhost/Reports

In my ASP.NET application, I have 3 buttons:

Preview, Print and Save

If the user clicks on Preview the report is displayed

if the user clicks on Print,the report is sent automatically to the printer

if the user clicks on Save,the report is Exported in Pdf format to C:/

Can anyone give me some tutorials on how to manage Reports(.rdc) from ASP.NET

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you are wondering how to embed your report in ASP.Net application, right?

Generally, you can add a report viewer to your aspx page. You can follow the steps below to add your report viewer.

Open the Toolbox window. From the Data group, drag a ReportViewer control onto the page.

If it is not already open, open the ReportViewer Tasks smart tag panel by clicking the triangle in the upper right corner of the ReportViewer control on the Web page. In the Choose Report box, select the fully qualified file name for Report.rdlc.

When you select a report, instances of data sources used in the report are created automatically. Code is generated to instantiate each DataTable (and its DataSet container) and an ObjectDataSource control corresponding to each data source used in the report. This data source control is configured automatically.

And then, you can preview and print reports from reportviewer in the following way:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251693(VS.80).aspx

For more information on embed a report in your website, see:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252123(VS.80).aspx

Thanks.

preview reports?

In crystal reports you can just preview reports quickly can you do this
anyway in report services? I need to test out reports quickly as I build
them...When designing the report in Visual Studio, you just click the Preview
tab. Is that not working for you?

then the answer is no, you have to use your app to see the report.
If you are developing with Report Designer then yes you can preview.

Preview only returning one record of report

I'm new to reporting services so I assume this is a stupid question however here it goes.

I created a report that will produce a simple customer invoice. I use a stored procedure to return the data. When I run the dataset in the data section it returns 5 records. When I run the report in preview mode it only returns the first record of data in the report. I did notice that when I drag and drop the dataset fields into a report it appends the record with "First(Fields!..." I assume that this will only return the first record which it appears to do. When I remove the "First" it only returns the last record in the report. How do I return all 5 of the records in the preview pane. The paging section in the preview pane in all scenerios always says 1of1 with the next page arrow grayed out.

Thanks in advance..

Hi,

use tables in stead of text boxes to visualize tabular data.

Cheers,

Yani

|||

I don't want tabular data.

I want Name, Address, City State Zip of customer #1 on Page 1 Followed by detail (I use tabular data here) for that customer

Name, Address, City State Zip of customer #2 on Page 2 Followed by detail for that customer

All I get is Customet #1 (Or #5 if I remove the first stated in the original question..)

Etc..

|||

Okay,

did u try setting up all controls related to a customer into aListControl.

The contained info by a List Control is repeated for reach data row, this way you could achieve your need.

Cheers

|||

I'm totally lost at your suggestion??

I want to produce 5 invoices.

The Stored procedure returns data for those 5 invoices.( Name, address, city, state, zip etc..)

The report should return 5 pages with a customer invoice on each page so I can print them.

I'm not sure where a list control come into play here.

|||

If You don't want ur report in a tabular form then you will have to use list control.Drop textboxes into

the list control .

|||

Thank you,

I think I got it now.

One additional question I have with Formatting and Printing. Is there any type of formatting control for printing. In my research so far It appears that printing directly from the control is not an option. For now I will print to a PDF and then print. The problem I have is the PDF is creating what appears to be about a 1" margin on the page. I need the reports to print with about a .25" margin. Is there any place to control this. I will be doing checks next and the positiong will become more critical.

Thanks in advance.

Go to Report Menu->Report properties -> Layout Tab.

I think this will help.

Preview error

Hi,
I'm trying to use Reporting Services, I have installed the client component on my computer (Win 2K pro sp4) and I try to start to design a new report. The data source is a SQL Server developer edition Sp3 installed on the same computer.
All works fine until I try to preview the report using the preview tab from the designer. I received this message "command 'view.output' not available.
My Visual Studio version is EA enghlish version. I have installed the RS SP1 with the same results.
Anyone can help me ?
Thank's in advance and I apologize for my poor englishDo you have any add-ins installed? Can you select View\Other Windows\Output
from the View menu? What happens if you open the VS Command Window, and type
"View.Output" ?

So if I try to type > View. I can see in the intellisense window the Output method but when I select it i obtain this message "Comando "View.Output" non disponibile" translate in enghlish "Comand "View.Output" not available".
Do you think that the problem may be that I use VS EA in eghlish on a Windows 2000 Pro Italian machine ?

Preview a Report in Design Mode (VS 2005)

I am working with SQL Server Reporting Services and Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta 2. In VS 2003 you could preview a report in design mode by clicking on the preview tab. There is no such tab in 2005 Beta 2. Does anyone know how to preview a report in design mode? Thanks.When you are using the Report Controls in local mode (embedded), there is no preview since your application is responsible for creating the data set to bind into the control. You will need to execute your application to preview.

Designer preview is only present in report server mode.
