SSRS - How to feed a report parameter "under the rug"? - c#

I have a parameter in my report that my user cannot know about for security reasons. But this report also has others parameters.
Is there a way to "feed" these reports without the user intervention? I plan to feed default values to the regular parameters and the appropriate value to the "secret one"...
Details:
-Using Report Viewer User control to display the report in a WinForms app
-Using SSRS 2008R2
-Report is not local

In SSRS you can set a parameter to be hidden in the general tab of Report Parameter Properties.
You can then set the parameter using a default value.

SSRS Auto Subcription Creation Default Values not binding

We are migrating our project SSRS 2013 Sharepoint Integration Mode to SSRS 2019 Native Mode. All .RDL Files are migrated including default values for Few parameters.
Those parameters would be loaded based on cascaded drop down but we want default value -1 to be selected in the subscription
When we create subscription from our c# code reportingService.CreateDataDrivenSubscription subscription is sucessful for all parameters except the one with Default Values.
These Parameters are ParameterValue & others are ParamterReferenceField.
The subscription is unable to populate the choose default values. The question is not related to .rdl file having default values, the error is only in Subscription that we are creating using reporting service .asmx
In createDataDrivenSubcription function we are setting parameter Value in reportParameters but not working
is there any other way to call the above function so that in the subscription created we would
Enter Default Value in the drop down similar to Get Value from Dataset automatically.

Unable to pull username and password in SSRS connection properties

I am migrating crystal reports to SSRS reports using a windows app, build based on .net code. Also I need to migrate the connection string with username and password. When I open the rdl post migration, I can see the connection string like shown in below image.
When I click on edit button, username/password is not populated automatically and I'm seeing those fields blank like shown below. I can notice the server name getting populated and not the user name and password.
Is there any property I'm missing the connection string or how can I auto populate user name and password without manual workarounds?
Really appreciate any suggestions.
You may use shared data source instead of embedding the connection info in rdl file. If you have quite a few reports to convert, you may try crystal migration services to convert your reports automatically.

how to set Reportviewer controls report server Url and report path properties in asp.net

I m trying to use ReportViewer control in VS2013 to display a report from a SSRS server. The full path to the report URL is like below and I can access report by typing the path in browser
http://vm-xx-xxxx/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fname+xxx+And+xxx%2fWorkOrder+UAT
I have tried various combinations to set the ReportServerUrl and ReportPath properties but nothing seems to work.
e.g. ReportPath="/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fxxx+xxx+And+xxx%2fWorkOrder+UAT and the ReportServerUrl="http://vm-xx-xxxxx"
Any ideas how to fix this? thanks
Try using:
ReportServerUrl="http://vm-xx-xxxxx/reportserver"
ReportPath="/xxx+xxx+And+xxx/WorkOrder+UAT"

Trigger an SSRS Report from ASP.Net without user intervention

I'd like to be able to fire off an SSRS Report from an ASP.Net application without pulling it up in the application and having to print it from there to a specified printer. This seems like it would be a highly desired feature, but I'm having trouble finding any good solutions online. Can anyone help me with this?
rFirst you will need to set up the report to render from an execution snapshot. You should find this under the reports property tab, execute, select the "Render this report from a report execution snapshot" radio button.
Next you will need to set up a subscription for whom you want it delivered to. Under the subscriptions tab, add new subscription, enter the e-mail information, etc. Under "Subscription Processing Options" select "when the report content is refreshed".
Now you need to be able to trigger a new snapshot programmatically. Fortunately, the reports service exposes a web service for this purpose. Add a service reference to:
http:// your_report_server:your_port/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx
Once you add the reference then you simply need to call the UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot method to cause you report to execute and mail out to your subscribers.
A simple c# command line app to this might look like:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// The first argument should be the full report path
// and name. It is passed directly to the Ssrs web service
if (args.Length == 0)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Full report name must be the first parameter");
}
// create the endpoint
ReportingServiceSoapClient ssrs = new ReportingServiceSoapClient();
// Update the snapshot
ssrs.UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot(null,args[0]);
}
For the report name, you will need to specify the full report name including any sub folders you have. So if you have your reports say organized by division you would have to specify all the parent folders for example:
/DivisionName/DailyReports/SalesReport
From a Web Application standpoint, in modern prowsers, I don't believe you can specify a printer, and you certainly cannot "auto-start" printing. Reporting services used to have the ability to print unattended with an MS browser plugin, but that was removed a number of years ago as it's now considered a security risk.
The best you can do is "one-click" print, that is programmatically render the report using the Report Execution service from the ReportService.asmx web service and initiate a programmatic solution to print the rendered report.
Unfortunately, printing an SSRS report automatically is quite involved. You can read about How to Print Reports Programmatically here.

how to set querystring in Command of Crystal report

I have made a crystal report in which I pass the database name into querystring. I want to bind that database into crystal report Command. So how is it possible because the report shows the data from multiple database as per selection of user.
I make a webform and use crystal report viewer. I send the database name into querystring.
I will suggest that you should used data table as data source and used a stored procedure or a query where you will decided which database the data will come from.
