Comment on Managing Reporting Services Layouts using the Rectangle in SSRS by Jim

Hi Luke,

First let me thank you for giving back to the community! Not many people take the time these days to help others, so thanks!

I am new to the SSRS thing as I have always Crystal Reports, but this time I do not have that option. I have read the latest iteration of SSRS is very powerful, but I cant even get some of the simplest things to work right.

When using the Report Builder it only allows you to save to the “.rdl” extension. Can Report Builder 3.0 save to “.rdlc”? Can “.rdl” be converted to “.rdlc”?

The “Interactive Page Size” and “Page Size” properties for a blank report specify the standard letter size of “8.5×11″. However, the “Body” section of the report defaults to “6×2.25″. I really dont understand the purpose or implications of this, nor do I understand “Interactive Page Size” versus “Page Size”

I am sure all of this info is buried in many places on the web, but your succinct explanation of your initial post leads me to believe that you could boil this all down to a simple answer.

Thanks Luke!
Jim

Comment on My Current Favourite iPhone (3G) Apps by Tena McGee

Great write up. The iPhone is truly revolutionary and I don’t like being without it. This time last year I had jumped in a pool with my iPhone and it was dead. I had to wait 10 days before I was able to buya new one. The phone I had was a cheap go phone. I really love all the apps that can be downloaded to the iPhone. The best part about the iPhone to me is the ability to check emails on the fly. Thanks for the information.

Hi ness,

True and false are key words, so there’s no need to enclose them in quotes.

=IIF(parameters!myparam.value=1, True, False)

Should work.

Hi Luke,

I have 2 list control and each list I put a table control inside it . How can I hide and show the list and it’s table base onthe value of a parameter?

This is the expression I put in the “show or hide based on expressionion” under visiblity property of both the first list and the table inside it:

=IIf (Parameters!Segment.Value = 1, “True”,”False”)

Here the Segment is a parameter with 1 and 2 values..

When I execute the SSRS 2008, the error I got is:

“An Error Occured during local report processing. The Hidden expressopn used in the tablix ‘Tablix 6′ return a data type that is not valid”

“Tablix 6″ here is the name of my first list control.

This report works fine when I didn’t apply the expression in the show/hide expression. Did I missed something?

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Ness
