Hi,
I am trying to figure out the way to embed a plug-in (Chime for Windows)
into my report, so that I can display a certain object from a database, that
is stored there as a string. This Chime plug-in would read the input string
and convert it to video display.
This embedding is easily done in simple HTML:
<embed type='chemical/x-mdl-molfile' display2d=true width=200 height=200
hlabels2d='terminalhetero' structure= [encrypted string from the database
follows]>
I am wondering is there a way to do such embedding straight into my report
by using the report designer features or by modifying an RDL file for my
report?
Thank you.

That would be an exiting idea.
Thanks in advance.

Embedding picture in local report header
Okay. Simple request. I have a local report in my VS2005 project. I want to embed my company logo in the header. How do I do this? When I put an image item on the page it wants me to put something in the value for this? I've tried sending through a dataset but SSRS can't load data set information into the header! Why is this so complicated? I don't want to embed a dynamic database image, just a static image that will be embedded in my program. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
Drag and drop an image control to the page header. Select embedded image. Click New image. Select the image that you want to embed. Then click finish. Build and deploy the report. Voila!
|||This works fine for .rdl files. For me, the image wizard does not come up for .rdlc files. Does anyone know why this is?
|||I've noticed this too. That's what prompted my original question. So basically, here is what I've figured out.
1. Click on Reports > Embedded Images.
2. Add your new image, remember what you named it.
3. Add an image to your report.
4. Click on the image.
5. Change the Source property to 'Embedded'
6. Change the value property to the name of your embedded image.
That's it! I'm still not sure why the wizard doesn't work.
Embedding HTML in a Report
Does anyone know of a time frame on when SQL 2005 Reporting Services
will be able to handle the embedding of HTML into a report? I saw on
an old post that it is was supposed to be released in a follow on SP.
Does anyone have suggestions in displaying HTML into a field in a
report beyond converting it to an image first?On Apr 18, 4:17 pm, cara...@.gmail.com wrote:

In terms of the time frame, I'm not sure; however, you could try a
workaround of using the Jump to URL property of a report control.
Sorry I could not be of greater assistance.

First you will want to deploy the HTML file to the webserver/IIS so
that a hyperlink can access it.
Then, depending on how you want to do it, add a report control (table/
image/textbox) to the report in Layout view, select the Properties
(via right-click), select the Navigation tab, and below 'Hyperlink
action:' select Jump to URL and enter in the URL of the newly deployed
HTML file (i.e., http://localhost/SomeVirtualDirectoryName/HTMLFileName.html).
Hope this helps.

Yes, I do. But I'm going to start sounding like a broken record <g>.
You can do this by taking the XML output and applying an XSLT to it! It's
really up to you to decide how the HTML output looks, not what they decided
to provide as an HTML presentation.
The catch here would be how you wanted to display that report in other
formats, such as PDF. You can write XSLT to go to (say) rich text or post
script or use XSL:FO.
But you're still going to have to manage the impedance mismatch between the
HTML formatting you're trying to reproduce and these other formats. That's
why "converting to an image" makes sense to a lot of people -- it's not the
HTML display that's the problem, it's the multiple output targets that have
to render that HTML field.
HTML, almost by definition, mixes formatting and content. That's why it's a
PITA for any reporting engine with multiple output targets. You have to
separate the two and then translate the formatting so you can apply it to
the content as appropriate to the current target.

embedding html
Just curious if anyone has any hints to embed HTML directly into a report. I
am doing reports that will be exported to excel when run as a subscription
and using an index (which jump to bookmarks) and page breaks to get each
report onto new tabs.
My current report, done with a different tool, has 2 "Help" tabs that are
formatted text that describe how to interpret the report. I need to
replicate this in reporting services. One problem is that textbox in RS is
way too limited in its functionality.
I could probably link out to an HTML page, but I want the new help tabs to
export to excel along with the report.
Any ideas?I can't think of a way until HTML is supported in text boxes.

Embedding Fonts While Exporting To PDF
Hi,
My report requires a special type of font. I have the font installed on the
report server. When I export the report as PDF and view the document on the
report server I am able to see the new font. But when I open the same
document on a machine which doesn't have the font installed, I don't get to
see the font. I understand that there is some way you can configure your pdfs
so that the fonts are embedded within the PDF so that all the clients need
not have the font installed to view the document. Is there any way we can
embed fonts in pdfs using reporting services?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
GeorgeYou can't embed fonts into PDF exports in this version of SRS. Maybe next
version which is due maybe middle of next year. Crystal Reports allows you
to embed fonts in version 9.

Embedding an object into report
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the way to embed a plug-in (Chime for Windows)
into my report, so that I can display a certain object from a database, that
is stored there as a string. This Chime plug-in would read the input string
and convert it to video display.
This embedding is easily done in simple HTML:
<embed type='chemical/x-mdl-molfile' display2d=true width=200 height=200
hlabels2d='terminalhetero' structure= [encrypted string from the database
follows]>
I am wondering is there a way to do such embedding straight into my report
by using the report designer features or by modifying an RDL file for my
report?
If I am able to place my <embed...> string somewhere in my report and when the report is rendered as HTML this string is interpreted as an HTML tag, this would be awesome! So far I experimented with displaying <embed...> string in one of my textboxes, but HTML renderer for report obviously interprets my string as a text not as a tag, so instead of seeing plug-in in action I just see the text of my string.
Probably another approach would be to embed an HTML in a report.
That would also be an exiting idea.
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance!
Anton.Reporting Services does not support embedded HTML or object tags. The only way you could do this is to post-process the resulting output.|||

Me.RMAReport.ServerReport.Refresh()
Now as far as I can tell this should work, but no matter what I do I get
Execution '' Cannot Be Found
Then I can not run any of the server reports at all, not just this one. Going to the reportserver I can run this report just fine. I just can't seem to get it so that this will render. Could someone please help me, I am about to go nuts!!!!
Thank you,
Josh
Ok, so I solved this problem by going from remote processing to local processing...I now have ran into another issue...I'll copy from my post over at the sql server 2005 forums where i have yet to receive a response....
Ok, I have been struggling with getting a report to run that I can pass parameters to for two days now, I have finally made progress on that front from going to local processing vs remote processing.
Now though I am about to pitch my computer underneath a truck if I don't get this solved shortly. I have two subreports as a part of this report. They aresupposedto be passed the id value as a parameter from the parent report. I found out that I still have to set data sources for these sub reports, so I attached the subreportprocessing event to the report viewer and attached the datasources that I created. My problem, I assume, is I don't understand how the dataset is supposed to be defined. I have tried three different ways. I built one dataset that has the relations to the two different tables that the sub reports use and built 3 distinct object data sources that reference the appropriate table adapters in the single dataset and I run the report.
Result I get every record in both tables for each record in the parent report
So next I tried creating three distinct datasets referencing the individual tables that the three reports would use (1 parent 2 child) and assign the datasources to the table adapters for the relevant reports and assigned them in the event.
Result I get every record in both tables for each record in the parent report
Finally I change the dataset to use a parameter to filter out the rows to only be the one for the relevant record in the report. I use the exact same name as the parameter that issupposedto be being passed from the parent report and assign accordingly in the subreportprocessing event
Result I get no error but I get no data either. I am assuming because it is not getting a parameter value.
I can find almost no information on this at all...I'm bashing my head on my desk yelling "WHY?"....this should not be this hard...please someone advise me in the proper direction. If you need any source samples please let me know....
|||Does anyone have any ideas? I am running out of time to figure this out?
Thank you,
Josh
Hello there:
In case you didn't play this drillthrough sample on:
http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
I am fighting for different issues with this reportviewer. It takes to long to figure out things that is supposed to be documented.
Good luck.
|||I have spent a lot of time on that site, but it doesn't seem to have what I need.
Unfortunately I am not using drillthrough reports but just two sub reports...I implemented their sub reports exactly as they did except with sql instead of xml, but like I noted I return all results rather than the filtered results.
This truly should not be this hard....I have never wanted to go back to crystal reports until now....this is truly hurting my deadline...
Josh
|||The reportviewer control is really meant to be used with local reports. Probably if you switched over to fully using the the report server or the reportviewer with local reports, you'll eliminate many of your difficulties.
|||Hello again:
I look at the sample for the subreport and I found the way you assigned the parameter was different from the sample.
"Finally I change the dataset to use a parameter to filter out the rowsto only be the one for the relevant record in the report. I use theexact same name as the parameter that issupposedto be being passed from the parent report and assign accordingly in the subreportprocessing event"
Actually, you can assign the parameter through the property of the subreport: right click on your subreport> subreport Properties>Parameters: under this tab, you assign your parameter name and value. For example, mainID-- Field!mainID.Value.
I have read tons to find more about this control. I don't know whether this can fix your problem.
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt"
Height="100%" Width="100%" AsyncRendering="False" SizeToReportContent="True">
<LocalReport ReportPath="YourMainReport.rdlc" OnSubreportProcessing="ReportViewer1_SubreportProcessing">
</LocalReport>
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
I think in OnSubreportProcessing you simply assign your subreport dataset to datasource. Another thing is to make sure the name of these datasets: yourDataset_yourDatatable. They have to be consistent with the definition in the source of your .rdlc files. You can check them to make sure.
I am close to get what I want to implement. I hope I can share with you with my findings.
|||
Limno,
You are right, I was doing it incorrectly. I solved my problem yesterday by a stroke of luck. You are right in the assumption that I was looking at the parameters incorrectly...I actually needed to pass all possible values to the sub report through the data source. I then needed to go in and make sure filtering was set up on the table that I was using to properly utilize the parameters passed to it. I wish this had been more clear in the documentation, or mentioned at all really, but it wasn't. Anyways, thank you for all of your help and if there is anything I can help with in your problem, please let me know!
Thanks,
Josh
Embedded Video?
Hey everyone,
Is there any way to embed a video in a report? It doesn't seem like it but I thought I may be missing something. Maybe directly editing the xml code? Thanks.
-Keith
You may want to look at Sharepoint & possibly PerformancePoint rather than just Reporting Services. You could display the report and display a video in a separate webpart.
I am curious what the video requirement is for.
I don't believe there is a way to embed video - only to link to a page containing the video, or display outside of the report.
There is a way to create a custom control and bring it into Reporting Services, however I think this just renders html & images.
cheers,
Andrew
Embedded Reports
hi,
do i have access to subreports '
for example: how many rows were created?
a have a tablerow with a sub report.
i want to set the visibility to hidden, if no rows were created in the
subreport...
regards
PatrickThe parent report doesn't have access to properties of the subreport.
You may want to consider setting the NoRows property on the subreport
control in the master report.
Or make the subreport control in the master report very small and then have
the subreport hide its own contents if there are no rows of data.
As a last resort, you could put a query in the master report that returns a
count of the rows of the subreport (or if you're calling the subreport
inside of a list, you would include the count as a column in your master
query) and then base the visibility on that count.

Embedded PDF and Excel Files
I want to upload PDF and Excel files to the Report Server database. I
would like to display them in a custom web application. When working
with the ReportViewer control, I can easily show reports. I can't
figure out the process on how to show a PDF to a user. In particular,
if the user selects a PDF ( I can check the MIMETYPE), then, how do I
get the file from Report Server so I can stream it to the user?On Oct 10, 3:21 pm, "goo...@.landy.net" <goo...@.landy.net> wrote:

If you create a report that has the same format and output as the PDF
and Excel files, you could call the report and automatically render it
to PDF or Excel with a download prompt via URL. Here are a couple
examples.
http://ServerX/reportserver?/SomeDirectory/ReportName&rs:Command=Render&Param1=SomeValue&rs:Format=PDF
-or-
http://ServerX/reportserver?/SomeDirectory/ReportName&rs:Command=Render&Param1=SomeValue&rs:Format=Excel
Here's the URL format:
http://<ServerName>/reportserver?/<Directory>/<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render&<ParameterName>=<ParameterValue>&rs:Format=<PDF/CSV/XML/Excel/MHTML>
Hope this helps.

These are generic PDF files, not based on a report so they cannot be
rendered. We are using Reporting Services to provide security not
only to reports, but also some ancillary PDF and Excel files.|||Where does an uploaded pdf get stored'
Our uploaded pdf changes every week and rather than reupload everytime I was
hoping we could just save changes to the location it was uploaded to.

Embedded or DB images not showing in ReportViewer
I have a report which has an embedded image in the heading and an image control that loads images from the database (Image control Data section configured as MIMEType=image/jpg, Source=Database, Value=Fields!Img_Data.Value).
In both cases I can see the embedded heading image and the database images in design mode (VS2005) and through the report manager web pages. When I try to render the report through the ReportViewer web control in my web application, the images do not display (standard missing image red "X" appears).
I have a button on my web form which re-runs the report and exports it to PDF, and when pressed the report is displayed correctly in PDF with all images.
What do I need to do to the ReportViewer web control for it to show embedded and database images? I am using the ReportViewer for 2005.
Please advise of give me some place to look.

Embedded images not showing on report when use jump to url option
Hi, as many others here in this group I have some trouble using RS
2000 and the options "Jump to report" or "jump to url". I have two
report and I want to jump from report1 to report2. For that I can use
to options either "Jump to report" or "Jump to url". I can jump from
report1 to report2. On report2 I have a link which takes me back to
report1. But when I click this link the parametersection of report1 is
not showing. Of course I can use the down arrow at the top right
corner, but I want it to show immediately. When I use the option "Jump
to report" from report2 to go to report1 I have limited access over
the navigation (it renders with extra parameters, one of them is
rc:Parameters=Collapsed). When I use this option, I have the problem
of the hidden parametersection when navigating back to report1 using
the link on report2. However when I use "jump to url", so I can build
my own url to jump to report1 from the link on report2, the problem is
that when I click the link in report2 to go back to report1 all the
embedded images on report1 show a red cross. I can repeatedly
reproduce this behavior. The strange thing is when I copy paste the
url in a new browser, the problem isn't there, so the url is ok. I
have searched the I-net for two days now, but I haven't found anybody
who has the same problem. My guess is, that this is just on other bug
in RS 2000 unless someone has seen this before and has some sort of
solution.
Any help would be appreciated.Instead of embedding try "Project option" so that the image is available
always...

Hi Amarnath, thanks for answering. I will give it a shot later, at
this moment I haven't got enough time to figure out if this would be
the solution. Thanks again for your reply.|||Hi Amarnath, thanks for the reply, but I didn't use this option.
However Ruud Boots from sqlpass.nl gave me a suggestion which is
working for me. He suggested adding

which causes the page to reload. As far a I can tell at this moment it
is working. That means I haven't had the error I mentioned in my first

corner, but I want it to show immediately. When I use the option "Jump
to report" from report2 to go to report1 I have limited access over
the navigation (it renders with extra parameters, one of them is
rc:Parameters=Collapsed). When I use this option, I have the problem
of the hidden parametersection when navigating back to report1 using
the link on report2. However when I use "jump to url", so I can build
my own url to jump to report1 from the link on report2, the problem is
that when I click the link in report2 to go back to report1 all the
embedded images on report1 show a red cross. I can repeatedly
reproduce this behavior. The strange thing is when I copy paste the
url in a new browser, the problem isn't there, so the url is ok. I
have searched the I-net for two days now, but I haven't found anybody
who has the same problem. My guess is, that this is just on other bug
in RS 2000 unless someone has seen this before and has some sort of
solution.
Any help would be appreciated.Instead of embedding try "Project option" so that the image is available
always...

Hi Amarnath, thanks for answering. I will give it a shot later, at
this moment I haven't got enough time to figure out if this would be
the solution. Thanks again for your reply.|||Hi Amarnath, thanks for the reply, but I didn't use this option.
However Ruud Boots from sqlpass.nl gave me a suggestion which is
working for me. He suggested adding
rs:number=+random
to the url. This option generated a new random number for the page,
which causes the page to reload. As far a I can tell at this moment it
is working. That means I haven't had the error I mentioned in my first
post.
Embedded Images Not Displaying properly
Hi,
I have a question which i hope someone can help with. When using an embedded image stored on a server in my reporting services report i can see it when proeviewing the report but when it is deployed it no longer is shown on the report. If i try this with an image stored on my local drive it works fine in both preview and deployed mode.
I am wondering why this could be? My initial thoughts are that the security on the file stored on the server may not allow access when the report is run in a deployed state yet it is accessible to the report developper as they have access to the server directory. Does this sound feasible and if not can someone let me know as to why this may not work.
Many thanks,
Grant
Grant,
if you point to the picture just as an resource you should also publish the picture to the proper RS folder like the report.
Or use a web link which should be a "public" one and has to be accessible by every User using RS.
cheers,
Markus
embedded images in the report
We have company logo stored as an "embedded image" in the rdl file. When the
report is deployed to the production server, the logo is not displayed in
the Report Manager.
What all steps are required to deploy reports with embedded images?
pls. help.
ThanksHi newmem,
I have had the same problem. I have found out that my IE 6.0 causes the
error in my case. After switching the IE options "check for newer version of
stored html pages" from "automatically" to "every visit to the page"
everything works fine...
your way: IE -> Internet Options > Settings
I identified the IE because every output format displays the company logo
correctly (PDF...) and only the default and html format was wrong...

Embedded images cause export to .pdf to fail.
I am using an embedded image of a signature on my report. It is a small
.jpg. When I run and print the report, everything is ok. When I try to
export it to pdf, the report stops rendering the report when it gets to the
image. I am using Adobe v.7. I tried this using Adobe v.5 and the whole
report renders except the signature image. Does anyone have an idea how i
can get around this?I found the answer was to change the embedded image from a .jpg format to a
.bmp format. I guess that adobe has a had time renedering images that were
in .jpg format.

Embedded Images
Is there any way to embed images when you want to view a report in HTML?
From what I can tell... RS makes a copy of the embedded image... and then
references this copy (hosted on the report server) in the HTML... however,
the application I use to generate the report doesn't allow direct access to
the reporting server... which complicates things a bit... has anyone else
dealt with this issue?Render report as MHTML

Embedded image does not appear
Hi there!
I've an embedded image (logo) in my report, and in the preview it looks wonderful, but after deploy the logo doesnt appear in the report (report server).
The url of the dead-link-image is http://hamsql1/Reports$BI/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?.
I thought that an embedded image is stored "in" the report, but it seems to be an other place. Is it nessecary to deploy an embedded image too? Is it a problem of permissions (i read it in another threat)? How to set these image-see-permission? Or is there an other problem?
Every idea is very welcome!
Thanks,
Torsten
Some new informations:
The imported image is an printable image with 300 dpi. These image does not appear in the report. Another image, 72dpi, appears. Is it possible, that the render is not able to render 300 dpi?
|||Hello,
What version of Reporting Services are you running? Have you applied the latest service pack? If you go to http://<server>/ReportServer and look in the bottom right you will see the version number.
Also, are both images embedded? Are they both the same image type (gif, jpg, etc.)? Are either of them scaled? Is the sizing option on both set the same?
Try building a new blank report and embedding both images using the wizard defaults. Does it work then?
Larry
|||HI Larry!
I've Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, Version 9.00.3042.00, SP2, running on Win 2003 Server 64 Bit.
Both images are embedded, both are jpg. I tried both, scaled and nonscaled, it seems there is no dependency on scaling or not.
I tried it in a blank report, and again, the 300dpi image does not appear, the 72dpi image is okay.
Torsten
|||Hello Torsten,
You are running on SP2 Original (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/sjones/2960.asp) and I have tested on a 32 bit Win 2003 with the same version of SSRS and don't see the problem. I will have to wait until I get home to test the 64 bit versions. Can you share your images with me? It could be image specific. My email is larry at smithmier dot com.
Thanks,
Larry
|||Hi Larry!
Could you reproduce it?
Torsten
|||Hello,
Yes, I received your report and images and reproduced it locally (even on a 32 bit machine). I fixed the problem by resaving the JPG as a new file using Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/) and re-embedding it. I am looking at the file itself to see if I can figure out what went wrong, but for now, you should be fine with the new image. I am emailing it back to you.

Embedded image
A report has embedded images in it. They display fine in ReportDesigner.
However, they do not display after being deployed to the ReportServer when
viewed in ReportManager. They do display if the report is exported to pdf
format. However, the requirement is simply to display the report in
Sharepoint using a URL in the page viewer webpart. Does the image file need
to also be installed on the report server box, uploaded to ReportManager
...?I believe that If the image is embedded in the report than it is stored
as binary data in the ReportServer database.
Is the image showing up as a red x?
have you right-clicked on the image and looked at the properties?
What is the url of the imbedded image?|||The image is showing up as a box (there is not a red x). When I right-click
on the image the properties show the url as -
ReportServer?%2fDashboard+-+MTD&rs%3aFormat=HTML4.0&rs%3aImageID=8a9c568f-8086-4138-a852-fc08d0111215.
So even though the image is 'embedded' we're thinking that it is also stored
in the database. Would that happen when the report is deployed to the
reportserver or when the rdl is uploaded?
Thanks for the help.

Is there something on the server that needs to be set? The report runs fine
on another server.

We had exactly the same problem with an image appearing OK in the designer &

Hope this helps.
