The BackgroundColor Expression For The Textbox Error
Apr 4, 2008
Hi all,
I've recently started using reporting services after about a 2 year break and have been refreshing my knowledge. I've got a very simple report linked into MS CRM, the report is designed to display cases that are overdue, displaying green colums for cases less that 2 hours old, orange for 2 - 4 hours and red for over 4 hours.
In the backgroundColor field for the details colums I have this code-
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!Hours_Neglected.Value < 2, "Green", iif(Fields!Hours_Neglected.Value > 4, "Red", "Goldenrod"))
this works fine in the preview window in VS2005 but when I try to deploy I get this error:-
"Warning 1 [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the textbox €˜ticketnumber€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. G:AppsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsCRM ReportsCRM ReportsNo Responce.rdl 0 0"
Can anyone shed any light on what this problem is as I'm struggling to find anything online......
Is there any way in Reporting Services (2005) to set the Top and Left properties of the TextBox control with an expression? What I would like to do is use two integer report parameters, and alter these properties based on the parameters.
I'm calculating the format string for currency values based upon what's selected as a report currency parameter value. Just to mention, it's a call to a .net dll. Because this call is in every textbox in the details section of the report,I believe it's getting called for every textbox that is displayed on the report - but I really don't need to calculate it at this level. The format string will only be one way per report execution.
Is it possible to only call this function once, stuff the format expression in a textbox (or some method that's similar) and then reference that ReportItems!textbox3.Value for the format string of other textboxes? I threw the calculation in a textbox in the report header and also body, but I get an issue either way:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I understand that it doesn't seem possible, but can anyone help me think out of the box? I see that a database call and another dataset holding the FormatString might work... I'll try this out, but in the meantime, is there a solution to not do this?
In SQL Reporting Services - How can you configure a textbox (in a table row/cell) to display (and more importantly print to hard copy) an underline area that is "appended" to the end of variable length text. The objective is to be able to print out a form with an identified area for handwritten text entry. I need the underlined area for the textbox to be "right aligned". For example,
Customer Satisfaction Were you satisfied with the service(s) received? _________________________________________ How long did the service call take? ____________________________________________________ Would you recommend us to your friends? _____________________________________________
On a Reporting Services 2005 report, I have a table with a single group row and a single detail row (and about 5 columns). The details are set up to toggle visibility based on a textbox in the group header called "txt_Order_Number". The order line item details are set with their initial visibility set as hidden. So, when you click on the Plus sign next to the Order Number, the detail rows display below.
However, what I'd like to do is change the background color of the toggled group header row when it is toggled and the details are displayed. Here's what's going on . . .
The row with the Order header information has every textbox set in bold. That's good. It makes a subtle distinction between the order detail rows and the order header row, so when you're looking at the dollar amounts on each line item and trying to add them up in your head to see whether they correctly add up to the dollar amount in the order header row, you can at least more easily see the total amount. However, it makes the whole overall report look funny because all of the order header information is in bold. What I really want to do is change the background color of the order header row to light gray or some other subtle color and change the font to Bold when the details are toggled to visible in order to distinguish that row as the header row.
In order to do this, I think I somehow need to get to a certain element of the Reporting Services object model called "Textbox.ToggleState". If I can get to that piece of the puzzle in an expression or even in code within the report, that should tell me the state of the textbox's toggle switch and I should be able to use that information to conditionally set the color of the textbox.(or every textbox in the row probably.) Here's all I could find out about this on TechNet
I just can't figure out how to get to that piece of information in a Reporting Services expression or in the report's code block.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate a response even if it's "You can't do that." Actually, the best response someone might be able to provide might be a link to a sample showing how to get to any of the textbox properties like that.

Directly using C:sql_working_directoryMLSAZPhoenixDocsArmls_Schema Updated 020107.xls as connectionString works
However - I'm trying to deploy the package - and trying to use expression: @[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls" which causes the same error to occur

One of the columns within a table on my parent page contains data that increases the height of the row, (a 'comments' field). Unfortunately a subreport within that table does not expand to fill the entire height of the cell it is in because of the expanded row height, therefore leaving "white space" below it. Some rows have a different background color depending on a certain fields' value but in the column where the subreport is, I can't set the background color in the properties window because that attribute has been removed.
Everything with my report works correctly but I just can't seem to get that white space to change to the correct color.
I've tried the following so far with no luck:
1. Setting the background color of the table row. This option is not available within the properties dialog box. I assume because the row has a subreport nested in it. (Can I set the background color somewhere else?)
2. I passed the row color variable as a parameter to the subreport but obviously that only colors the subreport and not the whitespace underneath it within the table row.
My report looks goofy with a whole row one color except for the whitespace under my subreport in each row so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
[rsInvalidColor] The value of the BackgroundColor property for the textbox €˜textbox14€™ is €œTransparent€?, which is not a valid BackgroundColor.
This is appearing when I set the BackgroundColor property in a SSRS report using an expression. What I'm trying to do is have the colour of the text and background returned by the stored procedure that returns the data for use in Matrix and Table. But the problem seems to relate to all controls in SSRS 2005.
Steps to reproduce are create a new report, add a TextBox.
Go to properties of the textbox and select the Backgroundcolor and select Expression...
Then add the expression:
="Transparent"
Transparent doesn't seem to be a constant, but does appear to be a value you are allowed to selected (and is the default) from the drop down in the background colour.
The work-around is to use White, which works if you don't use a background image or change the background colour of the page.
However if you do us the "Transaparent" colour, then it does return the correct effect, but generates an error in the Output window within the development environment. I'm just ignoring the error for the time being. but has anyone else seen this error.

hi im trying to code a login page using asp.net, vb.net. i have 2 web-controlled textboxes whose values i want to compare to userID and password stored on a SQL server database called users. When button clicked, call function checklogin.
heres the code:

If Page.IsValid Then
Dim usersDS As New System.Data.DataSet
usersDS = checklogin(userID.Text, password.Text)
If usersDS.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 1 Then FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userID.Text, False) Else error_log.Text = "Invalid Credentials: Please try again" End If End If
End Sub
Function checklogin(ByVal userID As Char, ByVal password As Char) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String Dim dbConnection As New SqlConnection Dim dbCommand As New SqlCommand Dim dataAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter Dim ds As New DataSet

I would appreciate assistance as to how I should correct the following CASE expression::
BilledCarrier = CASE LEN(cur_billed_carrier) WHEN >0 THEN cur_billed_carrier ELSE 'Not Billed' END
I want to return the cur_billed_carrier when its length is >0 but I can't find the correct syntax. My attempt returns an error at the '>' operator. Thank you.
Hi! I dont know if i will explain this correctly, but my problem is with reporting service. I'm supposed to Sum value in one textbox and than that sum use it in sum in other textbox.
Something like this: Sum(Fields!Abc.Value/(Fields!dfg.Value+Sum(Fields!abc.Value)),"matrix1_RowGroup1")*100 I get error msg 'The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox49' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.'
Something like this wont work either Sum(Fields!abc.Value/ReportItems("textbox56").Value)*100 Error The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox55' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
So, pls help if you know how to reference textbox in other in body of report. Thx.

I'm setting the property to a variable, copyDestFiles, which I've tried numerous ways to set, the latest being in a script.
When I view the variable at runtime it looks like this: "Prod2.mdf","D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data","";"Prod_log2.ldf" ,"D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data",""
How does one set this property using an expression?
Cannot set the command text for data set 'ScoreboardOLAP'.

Can anyone help at all here? I've seen about 10 articles on this one but none appear to be relevant. I have a complex report comprising many sub-reports which runs successfully in a development environment. When deployed to an environment which comprises a separate report sever and report server DB I get the above error even when I try and browse to any of the sub-reports.
The sub-report is using an OLEDB connection to an SSAS DB and its command text is set as:-
=Code.GetQueryString(parameters)
Where GetQueryString is a function in the code section of the report which returns some MDX based on the supplied parameters. I obviously know the function works because it works in development mode.
I have tried to determine what is going on from the logs but the only messages I get are those above. I've set the data sources on the server up to use valid Windows Credentials stored on the server so I don't believe the issue is one of authentication
Any thoughts or tips in helping to diagnose the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
I've pinned it down to a footer cell that uses an expression to determine the TextAlign property. If I do something as simple as ="Right", I get the error. Of course, if I just use Right, there is no problem. So are expressions not supported in footer cell properties or is there possibly some fix for this?
I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ; however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks J declare @date set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc
I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
