sql server reporting services: What parameter can I send from my app that will render the report and
then instantly convert it into a .GIF file?
thanks,
Trint

Trint,

There isn't a parameter you can pass to get an exported parameter as a gif
file.

Take a look at the url below to view supported export formats:

The below link shows the available URL access params:

I know TIFF but can you export to GIF also. ?

for TIFF you supply

rsFormat=IMAGE along with other report parameters.

OK,
I figured out how to render .gif...here it is:
"The Image rendering extension renders a report to a bitmap or
metafile. By default, the Image rendering extension produces a TIFF
file of the report, which can be viewed in multiple pages. When the
client receives the image, it can be displayed in an image viewer and
printed.

The Image rendering extension can generate files in any of the formats
supported by GDI+: BMP, EMF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. For TIFF format,
the file name of the primary stream is ReportName.tif. For all other
formats, which render as a single page per file, the file name is
ReportName_Page.ext where ext is the file extension for the chosen
format.
