Problem rendering PDF with Diagram in code...

Hi!
I have the problem that I can not render a PDF file containing a diagram via
code. My function is essentially:
Private Sub SaveAs()
... Some initalization here...
Try
results = rs.Render(selItem.Path, format, historyID, deviceInfo, param,
credentials, showHide, encoding, mimetype, reportHistoyrParameters,
warnings, streamIDs)
Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName)
stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length)
stream.Close()
Catch exception As Exception
HandleException(exception)
End Try
End If
End Sub
When I use a format other than PDF (e.g. Excel or MHTML) everything works
fine and I am able to retrieve the Report with the diagram included, no
Problem. On the other hand when I am rendering a PDF-File without any
Diagrams, everything works fine as well. Only when I try to render a report
that includes a Diagram in PDF, an exception is thrown. The text says
something like: "Retrieval of contents with invalid configuration for
contentstype: text/html - SOAP expects text/xml" (Sorry for not giving the
accurate error message - I am using the German version which displays German
error texts).
Thank you for your help and have a nice day
FrankHi!
There is something I like to add to my initial posting. The same error (or
some similar error) occurs when I try to render the report with the diagram
from the Report Manager Web Interface. Here the Error is that the Server
Application is not avialable (an error I get from within my code too from
time to time).
Have a nice day and thank you

There is another idea that pops to my mind. I have two collegues who do not
have difficulties to render reports with charts in PDF. Both of them have
Adobe Acrobat 6 installed. Is this a prerequisite? If I understand the
architecture of RS right, this should not be a prerequisit. As I understand
it PDF rendering is done autnomously by the Report Server without any
additional software. Or am I wrong?
Have a nice day
Frank|||You are correct. You do not have to have PDF installed to export a report
using the PDF render.

Thank you for your quick response. That is what I thought too. But of course
this does not solve my initial problem: Reports with charts can not be
renderd to PDF in my environment here. Today I have installed SP1 but this
did not fix my problem. Reports with charts can still not be rendered to
PDF. What shall I do? Where can I start to search the error?
Thank you and have a nice day

I have done the following:
I have used the Report Manager to view the Sample-Report Employee Sales
Summery of the Adventureworks Example and here I have selected one of the
employees to get a report with some nice charts on it. Then I tried to
export it (within Report Manager) to PDF. The accordings log-entires in the
log file (ReportServer_*.log) are:

Yes I installed SP1 and hoped that the error went away. Unfortunately it did
not. I use the german version of Reporting Services and also the german SP1.

Thank you very much. I have found the page and there is indeed Version
8.00.878.00. So my Reporting Services Server is up to date. I wonder what is
wrong here with my stuff because I heared from different people that they
could perfectly render PDFs with Charts. Maybe I should start up from
scratch and install the whole Reporting Services Server (including OS and
SQL-Server) again. What do you think?
Have a nice day

Problem passing parameters to sub report

Hi,

I'm hoping this will be an easy one for you gurus:

I have a report with 2 groups and a detail line. I have put a sub report in the group1 footer. Now I can pass the main reports parameters down to the sub-report no problems. The problem I have is that I coded an "All" option into the reps parameter, so that I can report on (for example) all reps sales rather than just one.

Problem is that I need each groups rep ID passed down to the sub report. If I pass the All parameter, the report gives me all reps results in the group footer of each rep. I have tried passing the reportitems!txtrepid.value (the text field holding the repID value in the report) to the sub report, but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I also tried using fields!repid.value - I just get "sub report cannot be displayed". If I change it back to use a report parameter, it works - but does not give me what I need.

Any ideas anyone?

|||

Sussed it.

The sub report was looking for a string parameter 3 chars long. The field on the table that I was querying was 15 chars long - therefore it was being padded out with spaces - this made my sub report fail.

I used a LTRIM(RTRIM(S.SlPrsnId)) in my SQL, and low and behold it works!!

Problem of vale setting

I have this .NET (VB) code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
myConnection.Open()

Dim CommandText As String = "SELECT firstName FROM students Where Students.ID='" & IDinput & "' "

Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(CommandText, myConnection)

'****this the problem, somthing is mising here******
Dim name As String = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

end sub

The SQL qurey return only one record each time (only one student name with specific ID number)

I want that variable "name" will get the value of the "firstName" filed.

How to do it??Use ExecuteScalar instead of ExecuteReader. ExecuteScalar is designed for situations like this where you want the query to return a single value.

Problem INSERTING duplicate Rows

I'm trying to populate a temporary table with unique data, however my
populating query produces duplicated data. I've tried using a sub query
(i.e. querying the temp table during the INSERT to see if the data
already exists), but that doesn't stops the primary key violation
error. I've included the code below. tblSearchProduct stores a list of
words, along with the ID of the product title that word appears in. I'm
doing a search on products with certain words in the titles, so
therefore don't want the same product to appear multiple times. Any
suggestions? Ideally I want to tell SQL Server to just ignore the error
and move onto the next record in the result set, but I'm not sure how
to achieve that.
CREATE TABLE #tResults (
Position int NOT NULL identity(1,1),
[ID] varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY([ID])
)
INSERT INTO #tResults([ID])
SELECT s.[ID]
FROM
tblSearchProduct s
INNER JOIN tblContractProduct c
ON s.ID = c.ContractProductID
INNER JOIN tblProduct p
ON p.ProductID = c.ProductID
WHERE 'the' LIKE Word+'%' OR Word LIKE 'the%'
AND [ID] NOT IN (SELECT [ID] FROM #tResults)
ORDER BY ProductNameand...@.thevalley.f9.co.uk wrote:

Try the following select stmt.

FROM
tblSearchProduct s
INNER JOIN tblContractProduct c
ON s.ID = c.ContractProductID
INNER JOIN tblProduct p
ON p.ProductID = c.ProductID
WHERE 'the' LIKE Word+'%' OR Word LIKE 'the%'
AND [ID] NOT IN (SELECT [ID] FROM #tResults)
ORDER BY ProductName|||for some reason the update query is not appearing, anyway try distinct
after select, like
select distinct s.[ID]|||INSERT INTO #tResults([ID])
SELECT DISTINCT S.[id]
FROM ... etc
You don't need ORDER BY. It does nothing useful for you.
David Portas
SQL Server MVP
--|||This is not a RDBMS design at all, but a sequential file system in a
bad disguise. Stop using the "universal magical" VARCHAR(50) when you
know it is oversized. Stopping putting silly redundant "t_" and "tbl_"
prefixes on table names in violation of ISO-11179. Stop using IDENTITY.
Why did you put an ORDER BY on an INSERT INTO statement? Tables are
not sequential files; they have no ordering.
CREATE TABLE #Results
(product_id CHAR(13) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY); -- I'll guess you use EAN
INSERT INTO #Results(product_id)
SELECT DISTINCT S.product_id
FROM SearchProducts AS S,
ContractProducts AS C,
Products AS P
WHERE P.word LIKE '% the %'
AND P.product_id = C.product_id
AND S.product_id = C.product_id;
But now I have to ask, why are SearchProducts, ContractProducts and
mere plain old Products logically different? I'll bet they are all the
same kind of entities, but you just put them into different tables
based on some status. This how we did it with punch cards and tape
files. Likewise, why is the same data element called ID, product_id
and contract_product_id in the same schema?
I think you need some serious help with database design.
