I must make many report in my project.
All the reports must have header of company name and footer of page number.
Can I desgin a template custom report, then all reports in my project are
inherited from it?Create a Report with the Bare Bones on it for your template and then save
that RDL in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject
This "template" will now pop up in your context menu when you select to add
a new item to your report project.
Hope this helps.

Great idea.. I have been just opening up a report I named template.rdl and
viewing the code and copying it into the new report. Your method is slicker.
Another option is not to do any formatting until the end and run the .rdl
(which is XML) through a custom app that adds the formatting and such. This
does require a good understanding of XML and the RS spec though. I recommend
the template option.|||This is great but what if you need to change something in the template. None
of your previous reports will inherit the change.
I wish we could use a stylesheet and place it on the webserver and have the
reports pickup the formatting from that.

Can I use the rdls created in Visual Studio in Report builder
Hi,
I have created a report template in Visual Studio 2005.
To get a consistent look for all batch and ad-hoc reports, I want to provide this template( which has some labels/text fields/todays date in the report header etc) to the users using ad-hoc reporting.
But while opening the rdl file developed using VS 2005 in Report Builder I get an error:
Cannot Open this item
This report cannot be opened using Report Builder
One or more unexpected Report Definition Language (RDL) elements of the following type have been removed: DataSet
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportBuilder.ReportModel.Report: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The operation you are attempting on item "/Data Sources/Adcenter" is not allowed for this item type. > Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.WrongItemTypeException: The operation you are attempting on item "/Data Sources/Adcenter" is not allowed for this item type.

at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.GetUserModel(String Model, String Perspective, Byte[]& Definition)
I also tried to work it around by saving a file developed using Report Builder and modifying it using VS 2005.But when I open the modified file in Report Builder ,it throws the error:
Cannot Open this item
This report cannot be opened using Report Builder
Value cannot be null.
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance,
Heya --
No -- desiging a report in Report Builder which was created/modifed in VS2005 Report Designer is not supported...
Before 2005 released I remember trying to get it to work anyway, and if your Report Designer report was really, really simple, it sometimes did -- again., that was before the product RTM'd...
|||Thanks Russel..
Could you suggest some way I can add images,today's date in a textbox (in the report header) etc in a Report Builder report.The insert option in the Report Builder provides only text boxes,unlike images etc in SQL BI Dev studio 2005.
I tried adding todays date as a calculated field in the report but I have to add it as a column in the table of my tabular report.
Thanks in advance..
|||SP1 will allow you to insert images into reports in Report Builder (yay!) A community tech preview of SP1 was dropped earlier this week. See Brian's blog for more info:
http://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/
I've forgotten the current date function you use in R.B. (GetDate()? Now()?) but it should be as easy as adding this function as a forumla in a textbox.
|||I just posted an example of how to do this on my blog:

|||Hi,
I am truying to acheive the same. Please let me know if you found the solution.

Can I use my own Stored Procedure template with SQL2005?
When I go to create a new stored procedure, function, etc. I get a default template... is there anyway to replace this template with one of my own? One that will already have the important information pre-populated (the stuff I always end up having to type in, like company name, etc.).
Hi,
in SQL Server Management Studio, choose View -> Template Explorer. (Or Ctrl + Alt + T). There you can manage templates. Edit them whatsoever.

Can I set font/color attributes to reports from a template like for eg. css ?
I have 20 rdl reports that I am working on. I will have to keep a
consistency at the colours, backgroud colours, fonts etc in all of the
reports. Is there any one place where I can define all these
attributes and somehow apply the same attributes to all the reports
with a single stroke(either at the designer or through a .net program)
I mean like calling the css style from a html page.
Consider the above scenario, I guess there are 2 ways i can choose to
build the reporting system. 1) Build all the reports and give the URLs
of the reports to a calling main application 2) Create a .Net program
which calls each report by the programatic rs.render(,,,..) method.
whichever way I build the system I need to have a common way of
setting the attributes. Is that possible ? Please help with solid
ideas/code
Thanks,
Anand SagarSQL Server 2000 Reporting Services has somewhat limited style template
support. Improving support in this area is being looked at for inclusion in
a future release.
Until then you have the following options:
1. You can approximate this behavior by creating the specific report you
want and then placing it in C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\Report Designer\ProjectItems\ReportProject directory. These
reports "templates" will show up in Report Designer's Add New Item dialog
along with the Report Wizard, Report, and Data Source templates when
you add a new report to a project.
2. For simple wizard-created reports, you can control the style via
modifying the wizard style templates (there's an XML config file for this
documented in the help)
3. If you're wanting to modify the style dynamically after the reports are
created, you could store style information in your database and then query
for that information in your report, setting style properties based on the
query results (e.g. FontFamily
=First(Fields!DetailRowFontFamily.Value,"StyleDataSet"))
