Resizing parameters

I have designed a few reports in VS2005 with multi-parameter controls. When I
view these reports in VS they look fine, however once deployed and viewed in
the webbrowser (MS Internet Explorer) the drop-down boxes are too small (or
the font size is too big).
Is there a way to adjust (resize) the control boxes so you can make them
larger so it's easier for people to actually read where they can choose
between?
thanks,

As far as I know, there is not. This has been a common request on this
news group. Hopefully, this will be addressed in SSRS 2008. Otherwise,
you could try to inject CSS; however, I think that styling is only
allowed at the Report Manager page and report border level (though I'm
not sure). Sorry that I could not be of greater assistance.

It doesn't appear that my last reply posted; so, here it goes again.
As far as I know, this not possible. It has been a common request in
this newsgroup. Hopefully, a resolution for this will be provided in
SSRS 2008. The only other thing I can think of is to try and inject or
reference a CSS/stylesheet (but, I think this is limited to styling
the Report Mgr page, etc). Sorry that I could not be of greater
assistance.

Resizing margins programmatically?

Hello,

I am using

winforms reportviewer control for viewing .rdlc files (VS2005/SQL2005).

I would like to know if there was a way to control report header height

or top margin size, programmatically (or by using parameters).

Any

suggestion would be appreciated

Thank you!No, page header height or margin sizes cannot be changed programmatically. You'd need to have different reports that have different values on these properties.

Reserved Error importing Access 2003 Report into VS2005 Report Module, How do I troublesho

Hi,
I'm trying to Import an existing Access 2003 report into into an existing
VS2005 Report Project, I am getting the following error. Is there a way to
troubleshoot what is causing this error?
Importing reports from 'C:\db2.mdb'...
Error : An error occurred while the report Test Report Form was being
imported: Reserved ErrorWe ran across a few reports with this issue. I reviewed my notes but didn't
come up with anything.
I found this in a group:

The first error could be coming from Access. Could you try the following?
Open your database in Microsoft Access. Create a new Module and paste the
following code into it:
Sub Export()
Application.ExportXML ObjectType:=acExportReport, _
DataSource:="DailySales ", _
ImageTarget:=".", _
PresentationTarget:="DailySales .xsl", _
OtherFlags:=acPersistReportML
End Sub
Set the cursor at the beginning of the Sub and click the Run button. If
ExportXML succeeds, it should create a file called "DailySales_report.xml"
in your "My Documents" folder. If you can send the file to me, I'll look at
it. If ExportXML fails, then it's an Access problem. You could try the
Access newsgroups for help.

ReportViewer, VS2005 and SSRS 2005

I have developed a web app that uses forms authentication. I wrote it in asp.net 2.0. My server is running windows 2003 server standard and IIS. I have also installed on the same machine SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services.

From my webapplication, I have a button that the user can click and then I have the Report Viewer control generate a report. However, I do not know how to pass the proper credentials to the report server. I would like to pass one username and password that has permissions to run that report. My code is follows:

Private Sub saveRptAs(ByVal s_rptType As String)
Dim warnings As Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Warning()
Dim streamids As String()
Dim mimeType As String
Dim encoding As String
Dim extension As String

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New Uri("http://myserver/reportserver")
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/reports/Individual Report"

Dim test As New NetworkCredential("localuser", "password", "domain")

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = test

Dim rprameter As ReportParameter = New ReportParameter("user_no", Profile.DTGVariables.SelectedYMNo)
Me.ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {rprameter})

Dim bytes As Byte() = ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Render(s_rptType, Nothing, mimeType, encoding, extension, streamids, warnings)
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = mimeType
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=sample." + extension)
Response.BinaryWrite(bytes)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
End Sub

When I click on the button I get the following message:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.NetworkCredential' to type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.IReportServerCredentials'.

Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details:System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.NetworkCredential' to type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.IReportServerCredentials'.

Can someone help me with the credentials issue? Do I need to change Reporting Services to use Forms Authentication?

Your help and insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

put your credentials in web.config, that's how i worked around it

<identityimpersonate="true"userName="Domain\user"password="password"/>

|||try this - works for me

... ServerReport report = ReportViewer1.ServerReport; report.ReportServerCredentials = new MyReportServerCredentials(); ... class MyReportServerCredentials : IReportServerCredentials{ public MyReportServerCredentials() { } public System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser { get { return null; // Use default identity. } } public System.Net.ICredentials NetworkCredentials { get { return new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pass", "domain"); } } public bool GetFormsCredentials(out System.Net.Cookie authCookie, out string user, out string password, out string authority) { authCookie = null; user = password = authority = null; return false; // Not use forms credentials to authenticate. } }

Hey guys this is killing me also. I am using webhosting4life.com as my hosting company and have reporting services. I am trying the same thing the original poster is doing and getting the same error message. When I try the impersonate user I get the following error message. All I truly want is for the report viewer to pull open the report and display to the end user...but I need to pass my user name and password over....PLEASE HELP!! I have read several books and none of them touch on this.

Configuration Error

Description:An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message:Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Unspecified error

It appears the error is in the web.config. Implementing theIReportServerCredentials as shown in the previous article works and is a good solution to only having the SRS work under that user context.
