A rdlc file in

The report template is ready. The below screen shows a ReportViewer control in the form:. That is all we need to show a report. Assigning the report to the report view control and conducting a test run is shown in the below video with explanation:. Section four of this article talked about Report Header and report footer. The depiction below assumes a report spawns for three pages:. From above picture we can note that Report Header starts before starting the report details section.

Report Footer starts after the detail section ends. Also, know that the details section takes responsibility of displaying the database records and computed fields. To add Page header and page footer to the report template, we should click the square-shaped area in the right corner of the report focused in the below picture and then right click to bring the short-cut menu. From this menu, we can choose the Page Header and Page Footer.

We will populate this image using the embedded image. One can add an embedded image from report menu as shown below:.

After embedding the image into the RDLC Report, we set the following properties to the image control added in the Page header section of the report:. Similarly, we add two text box controls to the Page Footer section of the report. These text boxes are used to display report name and page numbers.

To change the name of the Report data sources just click on the first one in the list and click rename. Type in ReportdataTable0. Do the same for the second one but call it ReportdataTable1. Now it should look like. Click OK to dismiss the dialog, then Save your project so the new names stick.

Its worth going back into this dialog to check that your new names have stuck. On some occasions when I have gone back in the names have still been set to their original values.

Even though we have changed the name of the Report data sources to something that we want, this has only happened on the Visual Studio side and the report itself still thinks it is working with the original names that SSRS allocated.

You can see this if you select one of your tables in the designer table1 say and look at its DataSetName property. Table1 property. So the final thing to do is to select the pulldown control in this property and select ReportdataTable0 for table1 and ReportdataTable1 for table2 in your report.

The lesson here is that if you change the name of a Report data source you then have to visit every control in your report that makes use of that data source and check the DataSetName property. Browse to where Visual Studio has your TestReport. Then rename it to MyTestReport. You should see the final result similar to this. If you wanted to you could now go back into your project and delete all of the data sources from the Data Sources pane by deleting the corresponding.

You could also delete the TestReport. Appendix I. Here are two more examples of GetMyData type functions that I have used recently: the 1 st one runs a SQL query against a remote server and the 2 nd one runs a mainframe DB2 query.

View All. Beginner's guide for creating standalone. Rob Moulis Updated date May 16, Introduction The information in this article was born out of a need to develop new standalone SSRS reports to replace a stack of Crystal reports where it was not possible for the report designer to see the data sources involved due to various account, security and other restrictions.

Therefore I developed a process whereby I could set up dummy data sources even on my local pc to provide the fields for the report. Once the report was finished it could then be tested against the real data source.

In this article I demonstrate how to create a standalone. I also demonstrate how to set up the report fields for the report designer using a very simple technique based on stored procedures.

Additionally I also demonstrate how to map a dataset consisting of two tables ds. I also cover the setting up of a simple Test Harness C project in Visual Studio to test your standalone. This article is deliberately written with the beginner in mind, hence it is rather lengthy as I try to explain in detail what to do, so I apologise if you find it slow-going.

It is also for those who have a particular need to create standalone. Many examples I have seem to assume that you will be running your report against the same data source that the report was originally designed against.

For me this was not the case and I needed an alternative, hence the procedure outlined in this article. I hope what follows will be of some help to you.
