ReportViewer Questions

ID #1000

Is it me, or is writing reports in the ReportViewer component really a pain in the ***?


No, it's not you. The ReportViewer component takes some getting used to and in it's current state it is not too easy to create reports in. It is like a crippled version of the much better report creator that is installed with Reporting Services client tools.

It works the same but the biggest drawback is that you can not preview reports on the fly. You have to compile and build your application and then view the report in the application. Microsoft's logic behind this is that they had to take this functionality out in order to gain a higher level of abstraction. The higher level of abstraction being the ability to link to any type of dataset. Now my developer side agrees with this and thinks it's a cool feature but the part of me that has to create reports screams bloody murder.

So if you are a report writer, stick with the Reporting Services add in (if you have it) and let the developer deal with converting your file to work with the ReportViewer component.

Comment of timberland boots (2010-07-30 02:46:02):
It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
