running and exporting report using visual basic 6.0 (not using .net)

Hello,
I saw the post below that it is possible if we develop programs with C# or
VB.NET.
My question is
Is it possible to develop the program using visual basic 6.0?
If so, which reporting services dll should be referenced in visual basic 6.0
project?
Could you explain in detail what to do in visual studio IDE environment?
Thanks in advance,
StpnK

Your best bet is to use URL integration. This is very straight forward and
easy to implement. Generate the URL string, embed the IE browser control (if
all you want to do is show the report) and set the url for the control.
There are lots of examples on the web of how to embed the browser control
and set the URL.
Books online has lots of examples of URL integration.

Let me explain details.
I have a VB6 program (A.EXE) keeping running on the server. This program
should do lots of things such as monitoring the incoming files, reading the
files and do various kinds of tasks depending on the file type and other
conditions on the file...
With certain type of files, this program needs to call report-generator
(dll) (this is the program I want to write) of SSRS 2005 (passing
parameters) so that the report-generator saves the output file as PDF format
on the network folder. After that this program picks up this PDF file and
send emails to the customer with PDF reports attachments.
So to speak, there is no user interaction, no report viewer required...
(1) Is it doable with vb6.0 projects (possibly connecting to SSRS without
user interaction)?
If so, can you tell me the sample URL site? or attach the sample?
(2) I think it is doable with C#.NET or VB.NET...
Can you introduce the URL of samples? Or attach the sample if you have any?
Best Regards,
stpnK

type of programs. For instance, we use In-Touch a real time MMI (in the real
time control world the environment that interacts with the user is called
MMI, man machine interface). For that I embed a browser control. However, in
your case you have no GUI and so you would need to go to a lower level,
getting some dll that will go to a website and then get the stream back and
do with it as you will. Personally I think this is going to be a mess.
I think a vb.net or c# program using web services would be a much better way
to go that using URL and VB6.

running and exporting report through code (C#)

Hello ,All
I am new to the reporting services and my question maybe stupid .
I created some report and published it on the server.
Now my question is : does it possible at all to run this report from my
client (in C# )and to export the result to CSV format also from client
Is there any web service that I can use which is calling for my report ?
Please ,help me to understand this .
Thanks a lot.
SmugliyYes, Reporting Services provide a set of Web Services API that you can call
to generate report. Form your client app project (Win Form App), set web
reference to the reporting services and look into its Render() methods. You
can also learn more aboubt this from SQL Server2005 Book on Line.

pick the rendering format. One point with either URL or web services. By
default CSV is in unicode format, if you don't want this then you can also
tell Reporting Services that you want it in ASCII format.

Run multiple SSIS packages in order

I built 3 diffrent packages and i want to be executed in order. The first one is exporting some tables to another database and the other two packages are based on the database built in the first package.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance:)

I assume you wish to automate this process. The simplest option would be to create a SQL Server Agent job, and just have three steps within the job, one for each package.

A more SSIS orientated approach would be to use a master package, that has three execute package tasks, one for each of your existing packages. Link the Execute package Tasks together with workflow constraints to enforce the order of execution for the tasks and hence the packages.

Darren,

Just a question: when we're talking about the maximum number of DTSX inside a DTSPROJ only limitation is the memory?

TIA

Yes.

If you do have a lot then I'd be tempted to write a more dynamic process.

Perhaps use a SQL table to contain the list of packages, and also have a column for the order. You could then use the Exec SQL Task with simple SELECT query to extract the list of packages in order of execution. You could store this results in a variable, and then loop and shred this via the For Each Loop.

This example uses Data Flow task to get the result set into a variable, but I normally find an Exec SQL Task easier. It does show the shredding of the results via the loop though.

I used the SQL Server Agent Job.

thanks for the help :)

RTF/GIF/JPEG Report Export

Hi,
I want to provide the functionality for exporting reports to rtf/gif/jpeg
from the html report viewer. How do I do that? Is it possible to add/remove
formats from the export list on the reportviewer.
Thanking you,
