how to add parameters in report viewer? - c#

HY! I have a form application in visual studio 2010 and I want to create a report with report viewer and to add some parameters. I tried to add parameters from code but it didn`t work. I have this error:
FilterExpression expression for the tablix ‘Tablix1’ refers to the field ‘datastart’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope.
Report2.rdlc : error rsParameterReference: The FilterValue expression for the tablix ‘Tablix1’ refers to a non-existing report parameter ‘datastart’.
In my code a do this:
private void SetReportParameters()
{
ReportParameter[] parameters = new ReportParameter[2];
parameters[0] = new ReportParameter("datastart", dateTimePickerStartRaport.Text);
parameters[1] = new ReportParameter("dataStop", dateTimePickerStopRaport.Text);
this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(parameters);
}
and after calling this method a make a refresh on the report viewer
reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
I also look at other forums and I saw that I have to add the parameters to the report, but I didn`t manage out how must I do this. I also tried to add, in the properties windows of the report, some filters with value
=Parameters!datastart.Value
but this also didn`t work.

The error you get is because you try to specify your parameter like a field. In the expression-designer you have a special category called "Parameters". From there you can access your parameters.
The syntax is =Parameters![FieldName].Value. In your case for example =Parameters!datastart.Value.
Additionaly, note that the parameters must be declared in the "Report Data"-window under "Parameters". Its the same window as you use to declare your recordsets, however there is also a special category for parameters. There are also some options for the datatype and if specification of the parameter is mandatory.

So when you create report definition (rdl or rdlc file) you have to add parameters with exactly the same names. So for your case you have to add datastart and dataStop parameters. To do it just click Parameters in Report Data Window and click add new.

Try this:
ReportParameter PrmInvoiceNo = new ReportParameter("PrmInvoiceNo");
PrmInvoiceNo.Values.Add(this.InvNo.ToString());
this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(PrmInvoiceNo);

How to add parameter to Telerik Report Source?

I have added the Telerik Report Viewer to my windows form and set the report source as ConsignmentReport.Report1, ConsignmentReport, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. ConsignmentReport is my telerik report designer class. My datasource for the designer is MySql and my sql query needs a parameter. I've set the connection string, data provider, query and parameter in the designer and everything works correctly in the designer preview. My parameter name is #jsno
Then, I tried to add the parameter for the ReportViewer like this
reportViewer1.ReportSource.Parameters[0].Value = "19020312";
and it did not work.
Also tried to add like this
reportViewer1.ReportSource.Parameters.add(new Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("#jsno","19020312"));
Also did not work.
My report viewer remains blank. When tried to remove the parameter from the query and just run the report viewer with simple select statement, the report is generated. So how could I add the parameter to the report source?
The report source parameters enable passing values to the report parameters. So, you need to first add a report parameter to the report definition, in order to be able to pass a value from the report source. On the other hand, you have the data source component which has its own parameters. To bind the data source parameter to the report parameter, do set the following expression as a value of the data source parameter: =Parameters.jsno
Then, at runtime to pass a concrete parameter value to the report, use the second snippet:
reportViewer1.ReportSource.Parameters.add(new Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("#jsno","19020312"));

Microsoft Reporting not accepting report parameter

When calling reportViewer.ServerReport.Render("name", "deviceInfo");
I get the following exception
ReportServerException occurred
Additional information: This report
requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter
'MyParam'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a
parameter value. (rsReportParameterValueNotSet)
But the report parameters I'm settting clearly contain 'MyParam';
reportViewer.ServerReport.SetParameters(reportParams);
If step through the code with the debugger reportParams is an IEnumerable of ReportParameter and one of the parameters has the name 'MyParam' with a string collection of (count 1) with a string value inside.
Any ideas?
You need to make sure the value for the "MyParam" is a single value, also check and make sure the "MyParam" parameter is defined from your report template and take string value, you could also add a default value from the report template itself.
var reportParams = new List<ReportParameter>();
// make sure access the first item from the string collection
var myParam = new ReportParameter("MyParam", stringCollection[0]);
reportParams.Add(myParam );
reportViewer.ServerReport.SetParameters(reportParams);

RDLC report how to create multiple?

Suppose that you have a report CustomerReport.rdlc which is for one customer....
Is it possible to have multiple customers reports in the same reportviewer?
If not what is another solution ?
Yes it's possible to have one report for all customers. Basically you define your report template CustomerReport.rdlc to get data from some dataset (a stored procedure or some method in your datalayer).
for ex. your method should look something like this:
public DataTable GetCustomerDetails(int customerID)
{
//call stored procedure
}
Then on the page where is ReportViewer you do something like this:
DataTable data = GetCustomerDetails(1);
this.ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Local;
this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "CustomerReport.rdlc";
this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("[Datasource name defined in CustomerReport.rdlc]", data));
this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();
A single reportviewer control will show a single .rdlc document, along with any subreports included in the "parent" .rdlc "at a time". If you working in web forms it is also a best practice to not attempt to 'reload' a second report into a report viewer. It is better to empty the div containing the reportviewer and creating a new instance of the reportviewer control and insert that into the container (div/span/etc.)
After that it is just a matter of making sure you have the customer specific data assigned as the datasource.
Solution seems to be code generated rdlc!!

SSRS URL Parameter won't set

I have the following c# code in a web form:
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string url;
string startdate;
string enddate;
string costcenter;
string account;
//url = "http://server/reportserver?/Finance/Cost Spending/Cost Center Details&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false";
url = "http://server/reportserver?/Finance/Cost Spending/Cost Center Totals&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false";
costcenter = "&costcenter=990";
startdate="&startdate=" + Convert.ToString(txtStartDate.Text);
enddate = "&enddate=" + Convert.ToString(txtEndDate.Text);
account="&account=" + Convert.ToString(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
url =url + startdate + enddate + costcenter + account;
//TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
Response.Redirect(url, false);
}
I've tested a very similer version of this code against another report, the only different being the costcenter parameter. The other report worked fine, but every time i run this code i get the error: "the 'costcenter' parameter is missing a value". The only thing i can think of that's significantly different between the two reports is that in the Cost Center Totals report the costcenter parameter is used to populate the accounts parameter (both are multi-select).
Here's what the parameters page looks like:
Are you using multiple datasets in your report? If so, try setting the datasets to execute serially:
Open the data source dialog in report designer
Select the "Use Single Transaction" checkbox
Some other troubleshooting steps you can try:
Try removing the Report Server Command "&rs:Command=Render" from the query string and see what happens.
Also, if you change the Viewer Command to true, are you able to at least see that the parameters are populated properly (ie: "&rc:Parameters=true"?
I've been under the impression that one difference between running a report on the web server and running it in code is that in code it does not bother with the "Available Values" queries for parameters. In code, you aren't selecting a human-readable label from a drop-down which then passes in the corresponding value. Instead, you just provide the value to the parameter.
So, have you tried not specifying the cost center parameter at all? If the account parameter is all the report's recordsets really are based on, then it may be superfluous to set it.
Update:
Since the time I wrote this answer originally I've learned that dependent parameters (at least in SSRS 2008) must be after the parameter(s) they're dependent on. Make sure your parameters are ordered in a sensible way.
It looks like that's what you've done, I just wanted to mention the possibility.
Check that the Costcenter 990 is in your database!
I did some testing. I have a table "Person" with 4 rows and a PersonID 1 to 4. If set &PersonID=5 for a required single value parameter with "&rc:Parameters=true" then I get a drop-down box so I can choose one of the 4 valid persons.
If I set &PersonID=5 with "&rc:Parameters=false" then I get the message "the PersonID parameter is missing a value".
I faced similar kind of issue. Removing the parameter dependency made it work. I had parameter B depending on parameter A. It worked perfectly when you access the report server directly. But when I tried to bind it programmatically to the report viewer control, even after supplying the parameter using ReportParameter and adding to Parameters list, it was merely saying that "The 'Parameter B' is missing".
So, I went back to the report server. Redeployed the report by removing parameter dependency. It worked. :-)
Ok, I figured out the issue thanks to Alison's poke at the parameters/data sets. What was happening was I had 4 parameters, start date, end date, cost center, and accounts. In the report the account data set relies on the cost center parameters to populate the drop down list. I created a copy of the report, removed the cost center parameter, and removed the data set from the account parameter. I updated the code and ran it and BAM! It worked.

Assign multiple values to a parameter in Crystal Reports

I have added a parameter to my report with the option "Allow Multiple Values" checked.
This is a status column (IE, Proposed, In Progress, Completed, Canceled), and I want the user to be able to select which (and how many) different OrderStatus to report on.
How I normally set parameters is:
report.SetParameterValue("#dtBegin", dtBegin.DateTime);
What I tried to do for the multiple values was something like this:
//pseudo loop
foreach(int intOrderStatus in intSelectedOrderStatuses)
{
report.Parameter_OrderStatus.CurrentValues.AddValue(intOrderStatus);
}
I have checked it does add the values to the OrderStatus parameter, but when the report runs, the CrystalReports dialog pops up and asks me to enter values for the OrderStatus parameter. So it seems as though the values aren't "commited" to the parameter. I have done a number of searches and can't figure out why it's not working.
Thanks,
Just set the parameter value with an array of ints.
report.SetParameterValue("#OrderStatus", new int[]{1,2,3});
in the select expert you would use the in operator.
{table.order_status_id} in {?#OrderStatus}
What you can do is, make a normal parameter field,i.e without multiple values, only discreet values true, all you need to pass is 1,2,3,4. "," is the delimiter for separation use what ever you think works for you, then in record selection formula simply put
{table.order_status_id} in split({#OrderStatus}, ",")
all you need to pass from you page is the string 1,2,3,4 and it should work
Have you set the parameter to Hidden in the Crystal Reports parameter options?
I haven't tried this, but I think that you should be able to add intOrderStatus to either a ParameterDiscreteValue or ParameterRangeValue and pass that into Parameter_OrderStatus.CurrentValues instead of intOrderStatus.
Well i have same issue. The work around is very simple. Don't add data source after parameters. e.g
report.SetParameterValue("#dtBegin", dtBegin.DateTime);
report.SetParameterValue("#dtBegin2", dtBegin.DateTime1);
//Note datasource is assigned after parameters
report.SetDatasource(dataset);
The crystal report will refresh parameters before applying data source to report.
The below is the not popup discrete dialog box
//Note Datasource is applied before parameters
report.SetDatasource(dataset);
report.SetParameterValue("#dtBegin", dtBegin.DateTime);
report.SetParameterValue("#dtBegin2", dtBegin.DateTime1);
Following is tested in Crystal Reports version 13.0.20:
1) In Parameter Fields section add new parameter as follow:
Name: ParamMultipleOrderStatus
Type: Number
Value Options:
Allow multiple values: true
2) Choose the Select Expert Record ... in Crystal Reports and code may like this (use = operator):
{Orders.OrderStatus} = {?ParamMultipleOrderStatus}
3) Use following code:
foreach (int intOrderStatus in intSelectedOrderStatuses)
{
report.ParameterFields["ParamMultipleOrderStatus"].CurrentValues.AddValue(intOrderStatus);
}
