Getting a list of the queried parameters for a report (via soap)

What I'd liek to be able to do is display dropdowns (like the dropdowns in
the standard reportviewer component with queried parameters (eg, values come
from a datasource).
For example Employee Sales Summary in SampleReports includes a field for
employee name/id... which is automatically populated.
When i run GetReportParameters, I end up with nothing other dthan a type.
Thanks
Weston WeemsWeston,
Your code to call GetReportParameters should look similar to this:
bool forRendering = true;
string historyID = null;
ParameterValue[] values = null;
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
ReportParameter[] parameters = null;
parameters = rs.GetReportParameters(report, historyID, forRendering, values,
credentials);
Then you just have to loop through the ValidValues of parameters.
foreach (ReportParameter parameter in parameters)
{
/// insert code to evaluate which parameter type/name, if dropdown
foreach (ValidValue vv in parameter.ValidValues)
{
LI = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(vv.Label, vv.Value);
///see if this value is the same with the default value
///in which case we make the current list item selected
if (vv.Value == parameter.DefaultValues[0] && parameter.State ==ParameterStateEnum.HasValidValue)
{
LI.Selected = true;
}
this.ProcessorID.Items.Add(LI);
}
This code works for the one parameter that I have setup as a query based
parameter in the report.
Hope that helps,
Steve

GetReportParameters ignores language="en-gb"?

Hello

I've integrated my reports into an app using the ReportViewer control, and I've created custom parameter selection controls. I want the user to be able to enter dates in dd/mm/yy format into a textbox. I've set the language of my reports to en-gb.

The SetParametes method of the ReportViewer control copes with this fine, but when I pass a date string in dd/mm/yy format into GetReportParameters, I get a 'parameter value not valid for its type' error. But it works for date strings in mm/dd/yy format, so it's as if GetReportParameters is ignoring my language setting.

Has anyone got any idea as to where I'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Dominic

After a little more playing around with this I've found that, on my machine, the SetParameters method always wants dates in dd/mm/yy format, whilst the GetReportParameters web method of the Report Service always wants dates in mm/dd/yy format, regardless of what I set the language of the report to.

Does anyone know what's going on?
