I'm debugging a report (created with VS2012 Report Designer) and need to figure out from where the values are coming. Thus, I need to see the data source for each dataset. Unfortunately, the Dataset properties window is too narrow to show the full name of the data source. This is annoying since we have several data sources whose names begins with the same terms.
I've tried right-clicking, clicking the "New" button and making the window larger but without success. Does anyone know how to view the full data source name? See the attached image for what I'm referring to.

I have a .rpx file, which I want to bind data from one of my class library projects in C# and generate a PDF file out of it and save it to a specific location. I am able to bind the textbox that is in the page header. The issue that I am facing is in the detail section of the reports where I want to bind repetitive data. The detail section has textboxes, which I want to bind with the properties in the Object.
In short, would need to bind a list of object to the detail grid. So could someone let me know the best approach I can take for this?
The best approach to this is to either bind your data to a DataSet or a DataReader. Please refer to the Bound Data Sample that shows this as well as some other methods of data binding.

I'm trying to create a project which is basically a library management system.
As a display I used the standard DataSource to WinForm drag and drop system, which displays everything shown in the SQL table.
I want the users to be able to see the content of each row in the grid by double clicking it, which would redirect to another page with the selected row number and information to be displayed on each field.
As for the admin side, I want to be able to modify my db (delete, insert).
Is this the right path, or should I draw a grid from scratch?
Also, my SQL table contains images, this is what's bugging me.
The default gridview shows the little red X's in the varbinary column, and I can't seem to get rid of that.
Regarding inserting data into the table, is there any way to add images directly from the system above? Or should I redirect to a new page and code the respective into textboxes and things of the sort?
Thank you in advance.
I have a program which analyses some information in runtime and save the analysis results in certain variables. I have 15 of these variables, of which, 13 are string type, 1 integer and 1 bitmap image. I want to let the user to generate a report based on the analysis data. I have been trying to search the forums for help, but couldn't find a proper solution yet.
First of all, I don't want to save these analysed results in a database (SQL etc). All i want to do is just to display the report to the user based on analysis results and let him save or print it.
This is what I did so far based on numerous hints that I get from forums. I added a report.rdlc file and created a template for the report. I also created a dataset.xsd file and added the analysis parameters to the dataset. All the dataset values are added to the report template.
Now this is where I am stuck. I don't have an idea how to proceed from here and generate a report. Right now what my program does is, upon button click, the analysed parameters will be saved in their respective variables that I specified in the main program. What I want to achieve is to use these results and generate a report as in the template. Sorry that I am not able to post images here due to the user restriction.
Any guidance on how to achieve this is much appreciated.
Thank you!
From what I recall, reports support parameters which can be injected via the presentation control.
With little else to go on, I would look here first.
Hi I am designing a report using Crystal Report in VS 2010 C# to show students details.
I have designed the Crystal Report like below.
and my actual database table data is
but I am getting output is
What will be the problem?
Ashok as per your question information there might not be any error in your coding but might have error in Cristal report or Application setting.
Check your both that applications and try again.
It’s not quite clear what the issue you have at the moment. But based on your comments there are few areas that I think can be gone wrong.
Check you have correct data source set up (Right click on student under Database fields and go to set data source location and check you are connected to correct database and table)
Also go to file and check whether you have save data with report option is selected. If it is unselect that option
Try go to database and do verify database
Reason behind you seeing values like ###### is definitely because of not enough space been allocated
Hope this helps
You see the "######" because the field itself is not big enough to display the data. There are two ways you can solve this:
Click on the field to highlight it. Then move the mouse along the frame until the cursor changes to an arrow that points left and right ( <-->). Click and hold the left mouse button and resize the field (just like you would resize a window).
You can right-click on the field, select Format Field, and under the common tab you can check the "Can Grow" option.
I have a c# project where i created a dataset, then when through the steps of creating 3 reports via the Report Wizard. The rdlc files are now in my project and i have a reportviewer control in my Winforms project. The question is, after going through the process of setting up the dataset and reports, how do i get any of them to display in the reportviewer? When i try to set the ReportEmbeddedResource to be one of the rdlc files, i get a message in the viewer saying the source of the data has not been set. I did that when i created the data set and the report.
Any ideas?
Here is a detailed tutorial on how to use Local Reports : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252075%28v=vs.90%29
I had to do this last year, Local Reports are kind of a headache. The problem is .rdlc files do not fill their data sets (they ignore all the <Query tags. So, what I had to do is write a custom .ascx that would parse the <Query> tags in the .rdlc, fill the DataSets, and pass the new file to the ReportViewer control.
Basic steps:
1. Build a set of input fields based on the QueryParameters inside any <Query> tags. This usually involved cascading comboboxes since parameters can be dependent.
2. When the user submits the form, fill the DataSet associated with each <Query>.
If you look at the way you input parameters in VS 2008 when you test an RDL, the control you will make does exactly that.
All of this had to be done because of a client request to not have to authenticate when running the report...ugh. The fun thing is, I never found a complete schema for RLD/RDLC XML so I had to look at a lot of report files to figure out all the variations.
EDIT: I missed the part where you said WINFORMS. My scenario was for Webforms, though it might still apply I've never used the ReportViewer control in Winforms.
