Set style for reports

Hello
i need to find a way to give a format to objects inside my reports, in a way similar to css.
Actually i export my reports in the code behind of my page, i wish to set the report sytle (font size and type, color, backgroung and so on). I've tried to use the setcssclass method in the code behind of the page that export the pdf without success :
the page:
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
<style type="text/css" runat="server" id="stile">
    h1
    background-color:Aqua;
    border-color:Black;
    color:Black;
    font-family:Arial;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-style:italic;
</style>
</head>
the code behind
report.SetCssClass(ObjectScope.PageHeaderSections,"h1")
Dim oStream As System.IO.MemoryStream
oStream = DirectCast(report.ExportToStream( _
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat), System.IO.MemoryStream)
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray())
I wish to remark i don't use crystalreportviewer and the above code print the file directly inside the browser.
the questions are:
1. does the above code should work and i'm doing something wrong or that approach is completly wrong and will never work? If it's a correct approach, why the stye doesn't get applied?
2. if that's not the rigth way to do this thing what tool should i use? formatting formulas? do them allow me to format large pieces of report at the same time like css do in html ? Can you provide me links to examples or tutorial.
i'd like to avoid to set font size,type , line thickness or colors for each item in the report, so any hint will be greatly appreciated
thank you in advance
Stefano

Hello, Stefano;
The code you are using is only formatting the HTML page and not affecting the report object.
To do that you would need to use the Crystal Reports SDK and that would include formatting options.
You are correct, you can use formatting formula for objects. You will want to test your results in the designer first. It will have to work the way you expect there.
You may be able to do create some generic formula that will work on larger groups.
e.g. @Format_Color
You could use this formula for lines and fonts that you needed the same color and at runtime pass in the color needed:
Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("Format_Color").Text = crBlue
Then use this formula when formatting all the fields you where you want blue options for Font or Underlines as an example.
Another option is to actually add formatting at runtime using the Report Creation API properties of the Report Application Server SDK (RAS).
You can look for more ideas in the [Developer's Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]. Look at "[New APIs for enhanced report customization|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/RAS_SDK/rassdk_net_doc/doc/rassdk_net_doc/html/Whats_New_RAS2.html#1022964]".
Once the changes are made in the report object it should export to .pdf as you expect.

Correct way of setting styles for custom components

Hey everyone,
                        I have a custom component which extends UIComponent and holds a image and a button. If I want to set the default style for my button where do I set it in the createChildren, stylesInitialized , updateDisplayList or styleChanged ? I know styleChanged gets called first but the param is always null
styleChanged = null
stylesInitialized
initialize
createChildren
initializationComplete
commitProperties
measure
updateDisplayList
Cheers,
Firdosh

Thanks for your recommendations. I have seen a lot of components (yahoo-astra e.g) call a static function or use Mixin (asfusion Rating Component)
public class CustomComponent extends UIComponent {
          public static function initializeStyles():void
               var styleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("BaseMultiFieldInput");
               if(!styleDeclaration)
                    styleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
               styleDeclaration.defaultFactory = function():void
                    this.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
                    this.backgroundDisabledColor = 0xdddddd;
                    this.textAlign = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
                    //other styles are based on the framework defaults
               StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("BaseMultiFieldInput", styleDeclaration, false);
          initializeStyles();
is there a reasons why they are set in a static call?

Customize Styles for Report Wizard in Visual Studio 2013

I'd like to customize the styles defined for the Reporting Wizard in Visual Studio 2013.
There was a writeup for doing so that pointed to editing the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Business Intelligence Wizards\Reports\Styles\en\StyleTemplates.xml
However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Could someone point me to where the style definition is?
Thanks in advance.
Doug.

Hi Doug,
>>However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SSRS?

Cannot Set URL For Report Server SSL Binding In SSRS 2008R2

Hi,
I have an SSL certificate that has a number of subject alternate names and I need the SSL binding for the report server and the report manager to be against one of these names, not the certificate name.
However, while it is possible to set the host header for a non-SSL identity and therefore control the URL reserved, it does not seem possible to set this for an SSL identity - the edit dialogue box simply generates the URL when you choose the certificate
from the dropdown box.
How do I set the URL for a report server SSL binding?
Cheers
Dan

Hi Charlie,
You are correct, i am configuring SSL connections on a native mode report server and i want to configure a custom URL for it.
However, my issue is not that I cannot see the certficate - it is that I cannot set a custom URL for SSL connections. Apologies, I should have written up an example of what I am seeing:-
I have installed a certificate for a.company.com. It shows up fine in the certificate list/dropdown for configuring the web service URL SSL certificate.
I can set a host header for non-SSL traffic for a.company.com and the binding succeeds. I can also set an SSL identity in the same Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window for a.company.com and this also binds correctly.
However, the certficate is like a wildcard in that it supports 4 more URLs in its subject alternate name property. I would like to set an SSL identity for b.company.com which is one of those entries.
As an aside, the certificate is also installed in IIS and succeeds in binding to b.company.com. I mention this as it shows that the certificate appears to be installed correctly and is working in its wildcard-like capacity.
I can also successfully set a host header for b.company.com for the report server for non-SSL traffic. It is b.company.com that I would like to host the report server and manager under.
The issue I have is that if I try to add an SSL identity for the report server web service for b.company.com using the Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window, there is no editable box for URL and so it does not allow me to set the URL/host
header - it therefore always binds to a.company.com.
I have scoured the boards for answers and there have been a couple of mentions, but neither has worked for me.
This one talks about adding the required
https://b.company.com/reportserver to the rsreportserver.config file and the OP describes the issue pretty much exactly as I am experiencing plus the responder talks about this guidance as coming from MS support - however when I followed the steps the result
is the same as without the configuration:-
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/threads/ssrs-2008-host-headers-and-ssl.28571/
Another suggestion (for which I have lost the link) was to amend the URL config in that file directly and add the required entry. Both posters claim it has worked for them so I am sure that using a wildcard certificate with SSRS does work! I think in my
case I am missing some extra steps as it is fine to amend the config file directly, but I don't think this actually kicks off the SSL/URL binding process which is what the dialogue window does.
Hope this helps in explaining further. I am sure this is resolvable as I cannot believe the only option for SSRS is to bind to a single domain name and ignore the other wildcard/alternate options.
Cheers

If your DataGridColumn has an id set for it, you can use the

Enhancement request: modifiable style for report highlighting

Dear Apex Developers,
I have investigated the way highlighting is done in reports. What I found is, that a span container is put around the text to be highlighted with the style attributes colr:red; font-weight:bold;.
The red characters do not fit with the template I am using right now and I would like to change this to another color. I have found a solution, which locates all the spans within a page which have those particular style settings, but this doesnot function well with PPR.
Anyway Javascript is not my favorite tool to solve these kind of problems, certainly not when the solution can be very simple.
I would propose to use a class in Apex to highlight the matches with the search item. That way the class can be redefined using regular CSS mechanisms and no Javascript is needed.
How about it? An enhancement for Apex 4.0? I would like so!
greetings,
Dirk Dral

Setting style for html tags in flex

I need to add display:inline style property to <p>tag in flex CSS. Is there anyway to do like the below in flex
p{ display:inline}
Thanks in advance.

Hi rizmysl,
You cannot directly set the backgroundColor to a Label control however you can do it by getting a reference to the underlying TextField control inside the Label, for that you need to write some actionscript.
Check out the below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
     <mx:Style>
          .texfield{ width:300; height:30; background-color:red; fontWeight:bold;}
     </mx:Style>
     <mx:Script>
      <![CDATA[
       import mx.core.IUITextField;
       private function init():void
        //Getting reference to the underlying TextFiled control inside Label
        var tf:IUITextField = (myTextField.mx_internal::getTextField());
        tf.background = true;
        tf.backgroundColor = 0XFF0000;
        tf.width = 300;
        tf.height = 30;
      ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:Label x="25" y="113" text="My Sample Text Goes Here ...." styleName="texfield" id="myTextField" />
</mx:Application>

EBusiness tax feature "Tax for Reporting Purposes Only"

Hi everyone,
Did anyone used "Set Tax for Reporting Purposes Only" feature in Etax? If yes, then can you, please, describe me how works in AP/AR modules. Because for some reasons I cannot make it work and Etax User Guide does not contain much information about it.
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

As I mentioned in the PM, I'm going to list an alternate tax solution here.
It involves using a single tax amount (the lower amount) on all products. That may not sound right, but with some additional steps it's not a bad solution.
Assuming you have two tax amounts, one at 7.5% and another at 9%, you assign all taxable products the lower tax amount.
Then you change the price of the higher taxed products by the difference in the percentage. (if the product was $1, then it is now $1.02) Part of why this works is because the increase is not so significant that customers would usually care.
Using the product attributes, you set up a dropdown list with the options, "tax1" and "tax2"
Each product, in a custom1 field is assigned its appropriate tax name (tax1 or tax2).
The dropdown list is hidden, so the customer doesn't know it's there
When a customer looks at a large product view, js automatically selects the appropriate attribute based on what is in the custom field.
Set up two reports, one for each tax group.
Filter them by attribute, so only the applicable products are shown in the report
Using very simple math (Total x 1.075 and Total x 1.09, depending on which report it is), the accountant will know exactly how much to pay in taxes for each tax type.
At first glance, this looks like a bad solution, but all that really matters is that the company is collecting and paying their taxes. Your client charges the lower amount so they are not overcharging taxes (kind of illegal). The slight price increase of the higher taxed products covers the rest and then some.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

How to dynamically set connection string for report in C# code?

Hi,
I have installed CRVS2010. I have created new Crystal Report WPF Application and new report. I would like to set connection string for report in code dynamically.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Ivana

Lots of posts in this forum on how to set database connections. WPF should not be a consideration as it's just a viewer. The report engine is still the same. Search these forums. Use the search box at the top right corner of this page. Look at samples here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
Note that none of the samples above are using WPF, but like I said, the WPF is just a different viewer and will not impact how the report engine logs on to a database. (I think of it as a gray car vs. a red car. Same engine, just the color is different)

New set for Report Writer

Hello,
I am new to the Report Writer. My understanding is that Report Writer makes use of pre-defined sets of financial objects. My user wants to create new report group in Report Writer and add some new data which are currently in Z-table. Is this possible? Do we create a new set based on Z-table and then incorporate it in the new report?
Please advise,
Thanks
Galina

Hi Galina,
No were SAP released document Z tables is support for report writer.
