Events in SSRS

Hi,
Is it possible to load a dataset when the report loads and then drive individual controls from it?
I have a really complex report which uses about 12 stored procedures to fill various tablix controls. I would like to load a
dataset into memory and then point each tablix control to it using various aggregate functions. As far as I can see (using BIDS 2008 / SQL 2008R2) each control has to be pointed at it's own procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Hi DaveRstad,
In Reporting Services, dataset represents the result set from running a query command on a data source. There are three types for the Query option:
Select Text to write a query using the query language of the data source.
Select Table to return all the fields in a relational database table.
Select Stored Procedure to run a stored procedure by name.
After selecting Stored Procedure as the dataset query type, we should select or type only one stored procedure name based on the data source. Each dataset relates to only one stored procedure. And each tablix uses only one dataset. This is by design.
If we want to display multiple datasets data in one tablix, we can try to write a new stored procedure to create single dataset containing possible data we want to show. Or we can try to use
subreport or
Lookup function.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Sharepoint 2013 and SSRS how to send reports on date schedule after dw load completes

Certainly with subscriptions we can generate a SSRS report on a schedule like say every Monday morning at 5 AM PT. My problem is I want to run those reports but I want to make sure the Datawarehouse completed its load first. Example if
for some reason the DW breaks at 4 AM and does not finish the load the Reports should not run. ONce the DW is finished then reports should run. The 5 AM is really a place holder for 1st attempt to send reports. It should keep trying until
it can send them or Tuesday comes around.
the only approach I can think of is via the DW with a job and stored procedure you could have it exec anything you want. Is it possible to exec the reporting services report from sql? Is there a way from within sharepoint?
Ken Craig

Hi Ken,
According to your you want to fire the SQL Server Reporting Services after the Data Warehouse load data completed, right?
By default, when a subscription is created, a corresponding SQL Server agent job is created meanwhile. The SQL Server agent job has the same schedule with the shared schedule or report-specific schedule that is using by the subscription.
The corresponding SQL Server agent job calls stored procedure AddEvent to add an event in SSRS. Then the SSRS notification service fetches the event from SSRS database to deliver the subscription.
That, we can configure regular shared schedule or report-specific schedule based on the irregular schedule. So in your scenario, you can configure the job steps to fire the subscription after the Data Warehouse load data completed. For the details, please
refer to the links below.

How to display an "All Day Event" date correctly in an integrated SSRS Report?

I have two event items in a calendar list in SharePoint 2010. Both items have the same start time and end time. One of them, however, has the "All Day Event" checkbox checked. If I access them through a REST service, this is how the data is
returned:

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:55:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">false</d:AllDayEvent>

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:59:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:AllDayEvent>
I have a report in the same SharePoint 2010 site that uses SSRS in integrated mode. The data source is the calendar list mentioned above. The date fields are not formatted, just displayed as them come from the list/database.
My locale is set to en-US. When I run the report, the start date for item 1 is displayed as "3/21/2014" ('all day' set to false) but the start date for item 2 is displayed as "3/20/2014" which is incorrect ('all day' set to true).
I did some research online and found out that SharePoint stores all date fields as UTC except for 'All Day Events', which are stored in local time (our servers are in Central Time, but I'm running the report fom Pacific Time, in the US).
I coudn't find a solution to display the date correctly in the integrated SSRS report. Is there a way, maybe some straightforward formatting, to show All Day Event dates correctly? I tried adding hours but this is inconsistent with daylight saving hour changes.
I would appreciate any help.
C#, Sharepoint

Hi SharpBud,
The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])

Catch datetime exception and custom error message in SSRS

I currently working on create report by using SSRS. I have 2 parameters: [Start date] and [End date] to filter data from database and show it on report. I want to validate 2 datetime parameter as describe above. Please tell me a solution to do this.
For example:
When user type the text like: 4/15/2014mmm => System validation thrown a message: [The From Date not correct type]
But in my case, I want to receive a custom error message by myself.(Look like: [Date Invalid!])

Hi Brain,
According to your description, you have a report with two parameters for user to input. Now you want to validate these two parameters and display custom error message when the date is invalid. Right?
In Reporting Service, it doesn’t provide any interference for us to modify the system error message (the text in grey color). That means we can’t modify the system message when error occurs. However we can create a textbox in this report, use custom code
and expression to display the custom error message. But this all based on the report is successfully running. So if error occurs during report processing, all the custom code and expression will not work. In this scenario, we find a workaround for you. We
use custom code to judge if the date is valid, if the users type an invalid date, we return a default value to make sure this report can successfully run. Then we use expression to control the visibility of tablix in this report and create a textbox to show
the custom error message. Your case has been tested in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to Report Properties. Put the code below into custom code:
Public Shared a As Integer=0
Public Shared Function IsDate(d1 As String,d2 As String) as Integer
        Try
           FormatDateTime(d1)
           FormatDateTime(d2)
        Catch ex As Exception
                   a=1
        End Try
return a
End Function
Create two parameters. One is StartDate, the other is EndDate. Set the data type of these two parameters Text.
Create a filter for StartDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!StartDate.Value,"1/1/2012")),CDate("1/1/2012"))
Create a filter for EndDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!EndDate.Value,"1/1/2013")),CDate("1/1/2013"))
Ps: In step3 and step4, the date(“1/1/2012”, “1/1/2013”) in the expression are the default we set to make sure the report can successfully process. You can set any date existing in your dataset.
Use the expression below to set the visibility of the tablix:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,false,true)
Create a textbox, put the expression below into it:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,"","Date invalid")
Save and preview. It looks like below:

Kerberos Authentication between Sharepoint 2013 Foundation - SSRS 2012 - Oracle 11g failing with ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed

I have set up SharePoint 2013 Foundation, SharePoint Reporting Services and SQL Server 2012 in a single server. I then created a Data Connection to Oracle 11g. Upon testing the connection, it throws the error “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Given below are the steps of installation and configuration.
Installation till basic authentication:
The installation has been done in a
single server.
Installed SQL Server 2012 (Developer version).
Selected only the following features:
Database Engine Services
Analysis Services
Reporting Services – SharePoint
Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products
Management Tools – Basic
- Management Tools - Complete
2. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP1.
3. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP2.
  4. Installed SharePoint Foundation 2013.
5. Created web application (without Kerberos; we did not even create the SPNs).
      The application pool has been configured to use Reporting Services account since it is a single server installation. This account has been registered as a managed
account.
6. Created Site Collection.
7. Verified that Reporting Services is not installed.
8. Installed SharePoint Reporting Services from SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
9. Verified that Reporting Services is installed.
10. Created a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and associated the Web Application to the new SQL server Reporting Services Service Application.
11. Verified that SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and its proxy have started. Reset IIS.
12. Created a Site.
  13. Created a Data Connection library with “Report Data Source” content type.
14. Created a Report Model library with “Report Builder Model” content type.
15. Created a Report library with “Report Builder Report” content type.
16. Uploaded an SMDL to the Report Model library.
  17. Added the top level site to Local Intranet instead of as a Trusted Site in the browser settings.
  18. Able to create and save a report using Report Builder.
Hence, basic authentication is working and SSRS is able to connect to Oracle database.
Next we have to configure Kerberos settings between SharePoint and SQL Server.
Implementation of Kerberos authentication
In the Report Server machine, opened the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\Reporting\rsreportserver.config and added the Authentication Types of RSWindowsNegotiate
and RSWindowsKerberos.
2. Set up the following SPNs.
               a) SQL Server Database Engine service (sqlDbSrv2):
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110.cer.demo.com:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
             In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)".
b) Account: SharePoint Setup Admin account (spAdmin2)
     setspn -S HTTP/CER1110:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any  service
(Kerberos only)".
c) Account: SQL Server Reporting Service account (sqlRepSrv2)
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110 CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
(Kerberos only)".
3. Configure the Web Application to use “Negotiate (Kerberos)”.
4. Logged in as SharePoint Administrator to the SharePoint server and opened the top level site in the IE browser.
     The Event Viewer logged the login process for the SharePoint Administration account as
Negotiate and not Kerberos.
5. Implemented Kerberos for Oracle database and client.
     Able to connect to the Oracle database via Kerberos authentication using SQL Plus.
6. Turn on Windows Firewall.
7. While testing the site's data connection using Kerberos settings, got the error
“Can not convert claims identity to windows token. This may be due to user not logging in using windows credentials.”
      Note: The Data Connection for basic authentication still worked.
8. Created a Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2).
9. Started the Claims to Windows Token Service.
10. Registered the Claims to Windows Token Service account as a Managed Account.
11. Changed the Claims To Windows Token Service to use the above managed account.
12. Verified that the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) is automatically added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box.
      Note: The Reporting Services service account is also a part of the WSS_WPG local group.
13. Added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) to the Local Admin Group on the machine having the SharePoint App Server.
14. In the SharePoint box, added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) in the Act as part of the operating system policy right.
15. The Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) has the WSS_WPG group configured.
      When the C2WTS service was configured to use the managed account Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) earlier, the spC2WTS2 account was automatically
added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box. The WSS_WPG group in turn is configured in c2wtshost.exe.config file.
16. Verified that the Reporting Services account is a managed account and part of the WSS_WPG group.
17. Earlier Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service was associated with the SharePoint Admin account.
      Changed this to associate the Reporting Service account with the Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service.
18. Changed the delegation of the Reporting Service account to constrained delegation with Protocol Transitioning. This is because we are transitioning from one authentication scheme (Claims) to another (Windows Token).
      For this, the delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use
any authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
      Note: The Reporting Service account already had an HTTP SPN.
19. Next, the goal was to make the Claims To Windows Token Service account match the Reporting Service account.
       For this, we created a fake SPN for the Claims To Windows Token Service account since the delegation tab was missing.
       The delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use any
authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
20. Restarted the SharePoint server.
21. Tested the data connection with the Kerberos settings again.
       Got the error
“ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this setup?

http://www.freeoraclehelp.com/2011/10/kerberos-authentication-for-oracle.html
Problem4: ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Solution: Make sure that SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CC_NAME is set in sqlnet.ora and okinit has been run before attempting to connect to the database.

Open a PDF File from a SSRS Report

I have a requirement to include a link of some sort on SSRS reports that opens a PDF file. If this were being implemented in an Access report, a click event using the Application.FollowHyperlink method will do the trick. Is there an analogous
method to accomplish this on a SSRS report, please?

Thanks to Bipin.P ! Although I do not yet have the product installed with which to work, I found the following in the RDL specs. So, if SSRS functionality is identical to that of an IsHyperlink textbox, our requirement will be satisfied
easily.
Thanks again to all!
From the SQL Server Reporting Services RDL (Report Definition Language) Specification document, page 41:
Action
The Action element defines a hyperlink, bookmark link or drillthrough action associated with a ReportItem.
Name
Type
Description
Hyperlink
Expression (URL)
An expression that evaluates to the URL of the hyperlink (18)
(18) The Access IsHyperlink property of Textboxes will be supported via this more general mechanism. The Hyperlink property of the Textbox can be set to the same expression as
the Value property of the Textbox.
Implemented on an Access Report on 05/06/2010:
Set the IsHyperlink property of a Textbox to Yes
Set the Value property of the Textbox to =”Open PDF File#C:\UPDATES\HelpFiles\UIU Boot Menu.pdf”

Ssrs sharepoint 2013 error: "A delivery error has occurred ...not a sharepoint document library..."

Greetings SSRS/SharePoint experts,
SharePoint 2013 with SSRS - Creating a subscription to a report that is in SharePoint
I'm trying to create a subscription to publish a report to a sharepoint document library.
I've configured all the settings and on clicking OK get the following error:
"A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingSerives.Diagnostics.Utilities.DeliveryErrorException: A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidExtensionParameter: One of the extension
parameters is not valid for the following reason: The delivery path is either not a SharePoint Document Library Folder or does not exist in the Share Point farm."
SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 SP1
SharePoint 2013 Standard
Just wondering if anyone has a solution.
I've tried changing the proxy settings as per this post
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/19817dc7-6725-40d8-befa-1b94099a71bd/sql-server-2012-reporting-services-in-sharepoint-2013-integrated-mode-dilivery-extension
Workaround is to not use a sharepoint document library but write the report to a windows file share (this works but is not optimal).
Hoping someone at Microsoft or an expert will come back with something.
Kind regards
Gio

Hi,
Can you check the SharePoint ULS log located at : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS, and look at the log there when the error occurs?
You can also check the Application Event Log on the SQL Server to see if there are any additional errors.

SSRS Subscription Problem

Hi,
I have scheduled some report in SSRS ( SQL Server 2008 R2) , reports are generated at midnight and saved in a shared folder. It works fine generally, but On some days it fails, Job history shows success, but, files are not saved in shared folder.
What can be possible reason . Kindly help.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ramprosad,
Based on the current description, I suggest you checking Event table in ReportServer database. If the Event table has no null values, it indicates the subscription data cannot delivery successfully. In this case, please manually restart Agent Job and Reporting
Services. If it’s not the case, please post the log file to the forum for further analysis.
Hope this helps.

SSRS integrated mode in SharePoint 2013

SSRS integrated mode was working now when i click on SSRS service application it gives internal server error 503. In ULS log i see
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory`1.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout)
How to fix it? I recreted Service application and started and stopped service too but nothing seems to be working. How to re-install it completely by removing all the services from the Server?
Also how to switch mode from integrated to native since our end users might decide to go to native if integrated does not meet their business need. I do not see any article to switch from integrated to native mode.
It is really frustrating to keep fighting with this issue.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Adit

Make sure the Application Pool driving the SSRS SA is online. Check the System Event Log and Application Event Log on the SSRS server.
You cannot move between Native and Integrated any longer. You need to just re-deploy SSRS in the native config with a new SSRS database.

Behavioral Difference of IIf Function in T-SQL Compared To SSRS
Richard Mueller: "Nicely done with code examples. The "See Also" section should only link to Wiki articles."

JS: "Use object qualifiers (schema name to make sure that the right objects will be picked, e.g. dbo.) Outline ab bot more the things what not to do in production! Be aware that although people read this, they tend to use it anyway. If
triggers are enabled, they are executed once for each batch They are executed each statement not batch, miswording here."
Richard Mueller: "Good article. The "See Also" should only include Wiki articles. Some of the "Resources" could be moved to "See Also". Grammar needs work."

Jinchun Chen: ""
Richard Mueller: "Good topic. Grammar needs work. "Caution" states undocumented stored procedure is safe for production, but later states it is not."
Ed Price: "Great article. We should include the technology in the title. Good descriptions, and great References!"
JS: "Although the outlined solution is interesting and shows the public the usage of the "new" system views finding the right dependencies, it is not recommended to describe the usage of undocumented features such as sp_msforeachdb
as there are alternatives, especially in this scenario. You could generate a query using the sys.databases view and let it print out the database name along with the use statement. In addition to this and as the statement has to be run with a high privileged
account as schema information is secured as well, it should be made safe to SQL injection. In many case in the statements there is just a concatentation of values used. You can easily inject code in here, Also make sure that names / object identifiers are
quoted with [] in order to allow also special characters like spaces in the names"

How to consume the Calendar Exception details from Project Server 2013 to an SSRS report using PSI ?

Hello,
Can anyone guide me how to access the calendar exception details from Project Server using PSI?
I need to extract calendar details of enterprise resources , like exception name, exception type, exception start date and exception end date into my SSRS report hosted in SharePoint 2013 and 2010.
I would be helpful if I can get a sample of this. I have read through many PSI documents in fact still going through ,what PSI does and doesn't , PSI methods etc. from Project Server SDK and MSDN . Moreover, I
am a beginner in .NET programming. I am confused and have lots of questions in my mind, like which PSI service should be used in my report(is it just Calendar.svc), can we pull the details as XML type data source my SSRS report ,are
there any other configuration settings apart from " setting up an event handler by installing an event handler assembly on each Project Server computer in the SharePoint farm, and then configuring the event handler
for the Project Web App instance by using the Project Server Settings page in the General Application Settings of SharePoint Central Administration" (as per prerequisites for PSI in SDK) , how can I implement authentication settings
-(when user with proper SharePoint permission
can accesses the SSRS report )
Kindly bear with me if my questions are not appropriate .
Please do guide me, and .
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Brendan,
Project server reporting database doesn't contain the calendar info. The only supported way to use the PSI to read the calendar info from Published database.
See this
reply from Amit.
Hope this helps,

Reporting Services not automatically starting. System event log 7009, Application event: 18456

For the past month (since Oct 11,2012) reporting services (SSRS 2008R2) is not starting after the server is rebooted. The service is set to automatically start and starts manually without a problem. The system event log contains the following error:
Event ID 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service to connect.
SQL logs :
The SQL logs has many "Event 18456 Login Failed, State 38" errors when the database engine starts. I assume clients conections are failing because the databases aren't online yet. None of these 18456 errors coorespond to the account reporting services
runs under.
The SQL logs indication Event 7009 occures before the "ReportingServer" database is online so im assuming there is a dependancy but I don't know how to avoid this.
This problem is occuring on a number of our servers running SSRS (if not all)
Any ideas?
Paul

Hi A141695,
For Event ID 7009, you can try to do the steps below to resolve it.
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    3. Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    4. In the New Value #1 box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
    5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    6. Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.
For example, to wait 60 seconds before the service times out, type 60000.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. For more information about it, please see:

Possible for using profiler for creating workload for Database Engine Tuning Advisor in case of SSRS reports

I have SSRS reports with each 5 parameters. Parameter datasets includes statements like WHERE @CategoryKey
I have 20 tables in SQL Server. We don't have OLAP cube.
I have created SQL Server Profiler trace. I have clicked all reports during process.
I have opened Database Engine Tuning Advisor.
I have selected all tables to Tune.
Tuning options are Indexes/No Partitioning/Keep all existing PDS
Result is following:
14% improvement
10 recommendations (8 statistic for Calender table and 2 index for Calender)
Tuning logs:
S008 exec sp_executesql N' LongSQLStatment including IN (@CategoryKey) Event does not reference any tables
S007 Replaced event exec sp_executesql
My question is that why I did not get any recommendations for other tables that Calender?
Could it be because of SSRS parameters like @CategoryKey?
Is it possible at all to use SQL Server profile for creating workload in case of SSRS reports with parameters?
I have tables and reports like ProductSales, which I suppose should be get indexedbecause of WHERE statements.
I have where statement like Month and Category and Color.

Yes it is possible to capture a trace using profiler, but please provide the t-sql behind your dataset before I can answer your question about the DTA recommandations.

How to hide pdf in export option in ssrs ReportViewer

Hi,
This is the code which is used for ReportViewer 2008 and i need code for ReportViewer 2010.
so please help me out asap.
private void CustomizeReportViewer(System.Web.UI.Control reportControl)
foreach (System.Web.UI.Control childControl in reportControl.Controls)
if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)childControl;
if (ddList.ToolTip.Contains("Export"))
ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button)childControl;
if (ddList.UniqueID.Contains("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rptviewerByBrandBySentimentAttribute_ctl06_ctl04_ctl00_Button"))
ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
if (childControl.Controls.Count > 0)
CustomizeReportViewer(childControl);
// This is the event handler added from CustomizeRV
// We just check the object type to get what we needed.
// Once the dropdownlist is found, we check if it is for the ExportGroup.
// Meaning, the "Excel" text should exists.
// Then, just traverse the list and disable the "Excel".
// When the report is shown, "Excel" will no longer be on the list.
// You can also do this to "PDF" or if you want to change the text.
void ddList_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (sender.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)sender;
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection listItems = ddList.Items;
if ((listItems != null) && (listItems.Count > 0) && (listItems.FindByText("Excel") != null))
foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem list in listItems)
if (list.Text.Equals("XML file with report data") || list.Text.Equals("CSV (comma delimited)") || list.Text.Equals("TIFF file") || list.Text.Equals("Word") || list.Text.Contains("PPS"))
list.Enabled = false;

Hi God’s Favorite,
Thanks for your post.
According to your description, you would like to disable the SSRS rendering format PDF in VS 2010 ReportViewer control, please
refer to the steps below I demonstrate for you:
1. Add the method below to your .aspx.cs file as back-end code.
/// <summary>
/// Hidden the special SSRS rendering format in ReportViewer control
/// </summary>
/// <param name="ReportViewerID">The ID of the relevant ReportViewer control</param>
/// <param name="strFormatName">Format Name</param>
public void DisableUnwantedExportFormat(ReportViewer ReportViewerID,
string strFormatName)
FieldInfo info;
foreach (RenderingExtension extension
in ReportViewerID.ServerReport.ListRenderingExtensions())
if (extension.Name == strFormatName)
info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_isVisible",
BindingFlags.Instance |
BindingFlags.NonPublic);
info.SetValue(extension, false);
2. Choose the relevant Reportviewer control and press F4.
3. In the Properties window, click the Events icon, then double click the PreRender item to generate the
ReportViewer1_PreRender method, I assume your reportViewer control ID is ReportViewer1,
edit your method like below:
protected void ReportViewer1_PreRender(object sender,
EventArgs e)
DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender,"PDF");
After you complete the steps above, run your project and it works just as you expected.
Thanks,
Bill Lu
