You're in the
sql server reporting services
group:Building custom Reporting Services Toolbar
sql server reporting services:
toolbar since we will be generating reports using the SOAP API. Does anybody have any ideas/suggestions/examples on building a custom toolbar for RS? Any input will be greatly appreciated. TIA.
You just need to create a user control that calls the RS SOAP API for the
functionality you need, e.g. Parameters, etc. The AwReporterWeb project included in my book source code (http://www.manning-sandbox.com/thread.jspa?threadID=10394&tstart=45) demonstrates how you can get a list of reports and parameters. More involved scenarios are implemented in the AwReporterWin WinForm demo (e.g. obtaining the parameters values, multi-value parameters, etc.). As a side note, you may find my AwReportViewer control useful (http://www.manning-sandbox.com/thread.jspa?threadID=10392&tstart=45) to handle images, dataset binding (using my custom dataset extension) and more :-) Finally, please note that by going SOAP you are losing not only the report toolbar but also report interactive features (at least in version 1.0 of RS), as well as simplicity. -- Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------- Teo Lachev, MVP [SQL Server], MCSD, MCT Author: "Microsoft Reporting Services in Action" Publisher website: http://www.manning.com/lachev Buy it from Amazon.com: http://shrinkster.com/eq Home page and blog: http://www.prologika.com/ --------------------------------------------- [quoted text, click to view] "TechnoSpyke" <technospyke@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:OX8WEX0yEHA.2600@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > We have an ASP.Net web app that uses RS for reporting.

One more thing... you can save yourself quite a bit of development time if
you could postpone the toolbar implementation until the RS 2005 controls are out. They will include a custom toolbar, events, and will support both connected and disconnected mode. The first public drop of the controls will be in Yukon Beta 3 which is just a few months away.

Thanks Leo. I've been planning on getting your book for some time now, but
haven't gotten around to it... yet. Now I will have to :-) I would have prefered to use URL access, and custom authentication, but we need to upgrade to Enterprise Edition to do that, and the cost is a bit too much. I understand that the reports will lose some of its interactive features if I use SOAP API.

You don't have to :-)
I guess at the end you would you need to determine if the money you will save by using Standard justifies the development effort getting around SOAP addressability limitations. On the upside, it looks like the 2005 controls will support drilldown with SOAP. -- Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------- Teo Lachev, MVP [SQL Server], MCSD, MCT Author: "Microsoft Reporting Services in Action" Publisher website: http://www.manning.com/lachev Buy it from Amazon.com: http://shrinkster.com/eq Home page and blog: http://www.prologika.com/ --------------------------------------------- [quoted text, click to view] "TechnoSpyke" <technospyke@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:ej40s59yEHA.3548@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Thanks Leo.
