Hi all,

I have created some reports using the SQL Server2005 Reporting Service and the reports are deployed properly.

To display the reports from Report server through an windows application I have done the stapes as:- Passing the URL I am getting the Report name, Parameters Name and corresponding value.

The next step is selecting a suitable format (in which format the report will save into hard disk). I have done that thing.

Now my problem is that when I am going to render(save the report into hard disk) then it is showing the error as:-"Report_Publish.RSService.ReportingService2005 has not a definition for Render." ; Here namespace= Report_Publish;Data Source=RSService and ReportingService2005 is the webservice which is coming from web reference.

I am using Visual Studio 2005.


I think in VS2005 the key Word Render is not supported.

Can any one tell me what will be the Keyword for it?

The code are given below for render:-
  private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //get the format and report item from the comboboxes
                Format format = (Format)cboFormat.SelectedItem;
                ReportItem reportItem = (ReportItem)cboReports.SelectedItem;
                //set up variables needed to call render method
                ParameterValue[] parameters = GetParameters();
                string encoding;
                string mimeType;
                ParameterValue[] parametersUsed;
                Warning[] warnings;
                string[] streamIds;
                //render the report
                byte[] data;

                data = _rs.Render(reportItem.Path, format.Name,null, null, parameters, null, null, out encoding, out mimeType,out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamIds);
                //create a file stream to write the output
                string fileName = txtOutputLocation.Text + "\\"+reportItem.Name + format.Extension;
                System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(fileName, System.IO.FileMode
                .OpenOrCreate);
                System.IO.BinaryWriter writer = new System.IO.BinaryWriter(fs);
                writer.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
                writer.Close();
                fs.Close();
                MessageBox.Show("File written to: " + fileName);
                //Report_Publish.RSService.ReportingService2005.Gene rateXmlMappings();

        }

        private ParameterValue[] GetParameters()
        {
            ArrayList controls = new ArrayList();
            //get the values from the parameter controls
            int len = grpParamInfo.Controls.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                if (grpParamInfo.Controls[i] is TextBox)
                {
                    controls.Add(grpParamInfo.Controls[i]);
                }
            }
            //add the control information to parameter info objects
            len = controls.Count;
            ParameterValue[] returnValues = new ParameterValue[len];
            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                returnValues[i] = new ParameterValue();
                returnValues[i].Name = ((TextBox)controls[i]).Name;
                returnValues[i].Value = ((TextBox)controls[i]).Text;
            }
            return returnValues;
        }
