sql server reporting services:
Hello,
We are developing our own ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) front-end for Reporting Services.
We are trying to create an interface for setting up standard subscriptions
that is similar to Report Manager.

On Report Manager's Report Server File Share options page, there are two
options Render Format and Overwrite options that we need help with. Can we
query the ReportServer and get the available Render Formats to populate a
dropdownlist? Or, do we have to hard-code the values?

Same for the Overwrite options, are these hard-coded? Or, can the valid
values be retrieved from ReportServer?

Finally, on the Report Server E-mail setup page, there is a Priority field
that we need to replicate. Again, are the valid values hard-coded into the
dropdownlist or retrieved from the ReportServer?

Thanks.

You can call GetExtensionSettings to get the settings that a delivery
extension accepts. The extensions will return a populated list of renders
that it supports as well as the full set of options that it supports.

We don't validate all UNC paths, I believe it just checks that it starts
with \\

No real magic. :)

Thanks Daniel!

Another quick question for you...

How does Report Manager validate that the Path is in Uniform Naming
Convention (UNC) format? More than likely, our end users will enter
something like: D:\Product\Reports, and I guess we'll need to validate it.
