passing null reportparameter values

Hi,
Iâ'm using the report viewer object to view a report which works fine until I
need to pass null values. When I use the following code I get â'The
'reportId' parameter is missing a valueâ':
ReportViewer1.ShowParameterPrompts = false;
ReportParameter[] parameters = new ReportParameter[2];
parameters[0] = new ReportParameter("reportId");
parameters[1] = new ReportParameter("userid", "123");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(parameters);
ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh();
The reportId is setup for null values, however it still gives me an error:
<ReportParameter Name="reportId">
<DataType>Integer</DataType>
<Nullable>true</Nullable>
<Prompt>reportId</Prompt>
</ReportParameter>
I know other people have had this problem but using â'new
ReportParameter("reportId")â' doesnâ't work for me.
Thanks in advance!I'm guessing here, but do you need to explicitly set the value of the
null parameter. DBNull isn't the same as .Net C# null.
Regards, Rhys

Passing in a Parameter by URL but Not displaying in tool bar

Currently we're using an application and the Report Viewer to "view"
our reports. One report that we need to generate is solely based on
the user's SalesRepCode. So what we want is that each user select a
report and then pass there SalesRepCode which we get from the
application, through the query string to Reporting Services to
generate that user's specific report. We don't want to give the user
the ability to use another user's SalesRepCode so we don't specify a
prompt for this parameter in the report parameters dialog boxes. This
is how I'm passing the SalesRepCode value to reporting services (I
know that the query string can be modified so the security on this is
weak. If you have an alternative solution I would love to hear it).
Is there anyway to pass in a parameter and not have it displayed on
the toolbar?
http://localhost/ReportServer?/IRBReports/InstallationStatus&SalesRepCode=123ShowMe
This is the error I'm receiving
The report parameter 'SalesRepCode' is read-only and cannot be
modified. (rsReadOnlyReportParameter) Get Online HelpIn order to pass a parameter via the query string but hide it in the toolbar
you will need to be running Reporting Services SP1. This is a new feature
in SP1.
If you have SP1 then edit the parameter properties of the report via the
Report Manager and check "Prompt User" and clear out the value of "Prompt
String" for your SalesRepCode parameter.

I installed the SP1 and tried what you suggested. It still doesn't
work. When I go into the reports manager and select my report and
then select parameters from the left side the list of parameters
appears. For my parameter has default is checked but there is no
value in the default text box. Prompt user is unchecked and prompt
string is SalesRepCode:
I still get the same error stating that the parameter is readonly.

1) Check the "Prompt User" checkbox so it is active
2) Remove the "SalesRepCode" value inside the "Prompt String" text field so
that the field is empty
3) Apply and try feeding the code via the query string.

didn't finish my paragraph.
Erik
I did what you said the first time. I removed the text in the "Prompt
String" text field, but when I pressed the "Apply" button I received a
warning for every other text box saying "A value is required." Because
all of my default text boxes were blank. Now I have
calculations/expressions for those default values in my reports so I
didnt' know exactly what to do so just for a test I placed default
values there and tried to submit the value via query string.
Unfortunatly I still receive a read-only error when I submit it. I
have installed the SP, I changed the parameters in the report manager.
Could it be another setting or maybe its machine specific?

feeding defaults to in the report?

BUT now is there any way to pass a parameter without using the query
string. The SalesRepCode I'm trying to pass is sensitive information
and I don't want it in the query string. If you've got any
suggestions I'd love to hear them.

variable User!userid and create a query to get the salesrepcode from a
table.

passing an int parameter

Hello,

This is the way I call report viewer in my asp.net application.

this.ReportViewer1.ServerUrl=serverUrl;

this.ReportViewer1.ReportPath=repName;

this.ReportViewer1.Parameters=Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.ReportViewer.multiState.False;

this.ReportViewer1.SetQueryParameter("MyName",myname);

this.ReportViewer1.SetQueryParameter("MyID",myID);

MyName is a string and MyID is an int. Without MyID parameter it is working fine, however, when I add MyID it does not work, so how can I pass an int parameter to reporting services.

Thanks,

Cast its type as an integer

Passing a dataset as a parameter?

Can you build a dataset in a web application and send it as a parameter
through the report viewer control and have reporting services use this
dataset as the binding dataset for your table in Reporting Services? IF so,
can you help me or direct me to some article that will show me how to do
this.RS (both 2000 and 2005) don't support binding to applcation datasets
natively. If you need to pass a dataset to a server-generated report, you
may find my custom extension useful
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=B8468707-56EF-4864-AC51-D83FC3273FE5).
If you RS 2005 and the Report Viewers, you can bind the dataset to a local
report.

problems with doing this in Reporting Services 2005. At least the referencing
portion. Could you update with how this is done in 2005 or post where the
AWC.RS.Extensions.dll
is copied in 2005.
Thanks in advance

difficult to upgrade the changed interfaces.

two-dimensional resultset.
