How pass a parm from vb asp.net to SSRS report

You could go several different ways, but in this case I would suggest using a Session Variable and store that date value , then just called that variable in ur other page .

ReportParameter myParam = new ReportParameter("ParamName", "ParamValue");
myReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter[] { myParam });

Its C#, pls convert it to vb.net

Something like
Session("mSales_Date_Parm") = txtSummary_ManualDate.Text
in your page1


and

><p>date: <%=Session["mSales_Date_Parm"]%></p>

in your page2

Also you can try the approach given by radcaesar by using:

Dim myParam As New ReportParameter("ParamName", "ParamValue")
myReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {myParam})

Hope it helps!

OK, I added:  Session("mSales_Date_Parm") = txtSummary_ManualDate.Text to my Page1.

Now I don't understand how to modify my Page2 to pass the parm to the report.  Can you modify this asp.net code to show me?

        <rsweb:ReportViewer ID="StoresFlashSummary" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana"
            Font-Size="8pt" InteractiveDeviceInfos="(Collection)"
            WaitMessageFont-Names="Verdana" WaitMessageFont-Size="14pt"
            ShowCredentialPrompts="False" ShowParameterPrompts="False" Width="1000px"
            Height="859px">
            <LocalReport ReportPath="Stores_Flash_Summary.rdlc">
                <DataSources>
                    <rsweb:ReportDataSource DataSourceId="ObjectDataSource1"
                        Name="Retail_Flash_Detail_DataSet" />
                </DataSources>
            </LocalReport>
        </rsweb:ReportViewer>

Where do you need to get the passed value>?

The parm (mSales_Date_Parm) needs to be passed to the SSRS report (Stores_Flash_Summary.rdlc).  The mSales_Date_Parm will be displayed in the header of the report.

use

<%=Session["mSales_Date_Parm"]%> to output this value

or you can create a label and set the value to it as:
mylabel.text = Session("mSales_Date_Parm")

Where do I put this line in my code?

<%=Session["mSales_Date_Parm"]%>

Here are some basic questions:

1.  Once I set the session variable "mSales_Date_Parm" to the correct date in the calling page, is that session variable visible and available in the SSRS report?

2.  Assuming that is true, I set the text box expression in the SSRS report header as follows, but it generated an error saying that the word "Session" in invalid.

="Sales Through:  " & Session("mSales_Date_Parm")

Here is the actual error message generated by the .RDLC:

Error      1      The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox6.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: [BC30451] 'Session' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\TTA_Applications\tta-intranet\Stores_Flash_Summary.rdlc      1      

You need then to set up the textbox value to:

Session("mSales_Date_Parm")

in the code behind of the page .

Sorry TonyReba, but I just don't follow you.

The textbox I want to display is in the SSRS report not on my web page form.

You have suggested I pass the parm in a session variable, but I don't think session variables are passed to SSRS reports.

Here is the basic question:

How do I pass a parm (mSales_Date_Parm) from my web site page to an SSRS report?  I don't know how to pass a parm in a web site application developed in asp.net to an SSRS report.  I know how to do it in a WinForm application but not a WebForm application.

Oh
So then use  this

Dim myParam As New ReportParameter("ParamName", "ParamValue")
myReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {myParam})
Or

If the Report server is directly accessible, you can pass parameters in the Querystring if you are accessing the repoort with a URL and redirect :
http://MyServer/ReportServer/?MyReport&rs:Command=Render&Param1=54321&Param2=product
You can add output formatting by adding the following on the end of the URL:
&rs:Format=Excel
or
&rs:Format=PDF


Sample :
Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

      Dim rp0 As [String] = begintime.tostring()
      Dim rp1 As [String] = Endtime.tostring()
      Response.Redirect("http://vyof1886382/ReportServer_YOUHOO?/DemoTest/SteppedLayoutReport&rs:Command=Renderrc:&Category=" + rp0 + "&SubCategory=" + rp1)
End Sub

This is a local report not a report server.

Try

StoresFlashSummary.LocalReport.SetParameter

CodeCruiser - How do I use that line of code?  I assume it goes in the vb code behind file?

Attached is the code behind section that calls the report.

Thanks

Protected Sub btnSummary_Start_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSummary_Start.Click
        If IsPostBack Then

            Dim targetDir As String
            targetDir = ("\\tta-cwdw\C$\Program Files\Apps")
            Dim p As New Process
            p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = targetDir
            p.StartInfo.FileName = "Retail_Flash_Detail.exe"

That will go into the rptStoresFlashSummary.aspx page's code behind. Show us the code from that page.

Sorry for the delay in looking into this.  I will work on it today or tomorrow.  Putting out some fires at work...

There is no code in the rptStores FlashSummary.aspx.vb page.  Here is all that is there:

Partial Class rptStoresFlashSummary

Can someone help me with this question?  Thank you.

In the page load event of the above page, use

StoresFlashSummary.LocalReport.SetParameter

When I put "StoresFlashSummary.LocalReport.SetParameter" in the Page_Load event, it generates an error saying that StoresFlashSummary is not declared.

Also, where exactly in the Page_Load event should it go?

This problem has been solved.  See this solution:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27018939/How-pass-parm-from-VB-webform-to-ssrs-report.html?anchorAnswerId=35701282#a35701282

See previous note about solution.

That solution is exactly what i mentioned right?

No.  The solution was very different and had to do with checking to see if this was a post back in the rptStoresFlashSummary.aspx.vb code behind form.  Here is the code that finally fixed the problem:


Imports Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms

Partial Class rptStoresFlashSummary
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            Dim mParmSales_Date_Parm As Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter
            mParmSales_Date_Parm = New Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("Sales_Date_Parm", CType(Session("mSales_Date_Parm"), String))
            StoresFlashSummary.LocalReport.SetParameters(mParmSales_Date_Parm)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class


CodeCruiser - I do really appreciate your help with this question though.  I have benefitted from many of your suggestions, answers, and posts over the years.  Glad you are an active member of EE.  Best regards to you, EYoung
