Quick Question

hello I am trying to use the reportviewer control in a custom web app.
Currently using a frame based design where I have a treeview of all the
reports available and a click on the individual report should open the
reportviewer control in another frame.
Currently facing issues passing the exact URL.
here is how my base URL
newNode.NavigateUrl = "http://server-name/reportserver?" & cirep.Path &
"
Trying passing target but without much luck. Anyway knows how to do it
?
Thanx.
Q2 I know that using frames is generally not preferred.
is there a better way to achieve what i am trying to accomplish with a
treeview or a menu on the Left side and the reportviewer showing up on
the right side ?
Thx
RaviSince frames really aren't supported by the gui in visual studio, I
generally just put the nav and the data on the same page. Network speeds
what they are, it shouldn't be an issue.

>|||Hello Mike,
Thanks for the info. This is what I am trying to do.
I want a treeview as the navigation on the left and the reportviewer
next to it.
But the issue i am facing is that when I use a treeview, I set the
values to the treeviewnode.navigateUrl and I click on the link to a
report, it is rendering on the whole page.
But When I use a dropdown menu I could make it render to a certain
region like a cell in a Html table. good thing about the dropdown menu
is that there is OnClick Event which I dont seem to have in the
treeview control I downloaded from the Asp.net web controls.
Any hints on how to go about ?
Thankx very much
Ravi|||(Hmmm. I thought I replied to this yesterday, but I don't see it now.
Sorry if this is a dup response.)
I'm not sure I understand how you are rendering the report. Are you
redirecting to a url, using the render method...? Also, do you know about
the report viewer control?

>|||I am using the reportviewer control. It may sound stupid but my exact
problem has been how do I tie the reportviewer control to a node in the
treeview.
I am using the treenode.navigateUrl property to set the url, which is
causing it to render it all over the screen.
I dont have this problem when I use a dropdown menu of reports and a Go
button. I use the Onclick event of the go button to set the properties
to the reportviewer control.
Thx
Ravi|||Ok, so you're passing the url of the report to the treeview control?
Instead, the navigateurl should be to the same page (like a postback) and
set the querystring to be the value of the report you're trying to view
(navigateurl = samepage.aspx?report=" & reportvar). (of course, instead of
a querystring you could use the viewstate object or a session object or
.... ) On the load event of the page, check if there is a value in the
querystring, and if so set the property of the reportviewer.
Was that vague enough?

here is the URL i am passing to the navigateUrl property of the
Treenodes.
This posts the report to the same page. But it doesnt render in the
reportviewer control object I have in a html table in the same page,
which i am trying to achieve.
http://servername/reportserver?/folder/report1&rs:Command=Render&rc:zoom=75&rc:toolbar=true
thx
ravi|||Maybe I don't understand: How are you rendering the report? It sounds like
you are either redirecting the user to the report page or using the render
method of the web service?
Do you know about the asp.net report viewer control?

>|||This is more of an asp.net question than reporting services, but the url
you're passing to the treeview tells it where to navigate. You're telling
it to navigate away from your page and to the report page. Instead, the
link should be closer to:
http://server/path/nameofcurrentpage.aspx?report=report1
you then have to have code on nameofcurrentpage.aspx that retrieves the
value from the querystring and changes the property of the report viewer
control appropriately.
For more info, look for docs on querystrings in asp.net.

control and the rc:ReplacementRoot parameter. You can see where we came up
with this idea here:

>|||Hello jeff,
I have modified the reportviewer code adding your code and created the
new dll.
I also added the rc:ReplacementRoot = MyIframe in the Build URl string
method.
Do I need to do that ?
But when I actually ran the app with the new reportviewer DLL (removed
the old and added new reference to reportviewer, just to be sure) it is
still opening the drillthrough reports in a different Browser window.
And I dont see the rc:replacementroot part in the URL of the
drillthrough.
Am i missing anything ?
Thanks
Ravi|||Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I answered these questions in
another thread.
By the way, there's not a need to start all these new threads for the same
issue! Now others will have a difficult time finding the answer to your
question, since you started so many different threads on this same issue.
