Mahesh, I thought they were sending you a dataset -- is the method GetAttributes the way you are supposed to get that dataset or does it represent a query you are trying to do to get the metadata *describing* the dataset? To use the dataset 'raw', the thing you are receiving should look like, well, a serialized dataset, like you would get from a dataset if you used its.WriteXML() or.GetXML() methods.

Jun 09, 2015 Hi I have a windows C# project and was just wondering is it possible to use the report viewer and create a report using the XML file as the datasource? In this article we will generate XML from the object in C#.

You can't use the '*' (I don't think) unless it looks like that. I can't remember what MS blog I read about this in -- it works, but it is only the simplest way. It is not the only way. Here is a very quick walkthrough that you should find helpful for your scenario: Here is another walkthrough And a blog entry that goes through it again I think they both show you examples of query syntax. Here is a tutorial about using XML as a datasource that will help you -- I'm pointing you at lesson 2, where you're learning how the web service is supposed to return the serialized data set but you probably want to look at all the lessons in this tutorial -- Other references describing other aspects that I have found helpful.

In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to create reports from an XML document using the ReportViewer control and Visual Studio 2005.

Hi Mahesh, That change doesn't really change anything about my first question, although it answers the second one. The way you are going to do this is still going to be different depending on whether the report is rendered server-side or client-side. Are you writing a web-application, a win-forms application, or what? Are you using the reportviewer client control?

If you need to send that dataset as a source to a server-side rendering of the report, you are still going to have to send that information as XML to the server. (But that will be easy because the dataset will turn itself into the 'right kind' of XML for this purpose.) If you need to do this, we will discuss further. If you are rendering the report using reportviewer, so you can use local report mode, then you can almost certainly give the localmode report your dataset without any trouble, and without turning it into XML first. In fact, if you *are* using XML, you load it into a dataset to give to the viewer control. Hope this helps >L. If the webservice returns a dataset, then it returns it as an XML message.

You should be fine with this in a server-side report. Define the datasource as follows: • The DataSource is of type XML. • The connection string for the web service datasource is in fact the URL for the web service! (For testing you can put up a local copy of it () and assign that as your datasource. • The query string, believe it or not, can just be '*'. Crack Para Power Translator 9 more.

(no quotes) if the XML is a 'raw' dataset style. Pa Vm Esx 6.1.0 there. You can also use the (bleh) element query syntax that they've specified -- see here -- If you get stuck, post an example of what the web service response message looks like and I'll try to help. To get this to work really easily, they should make sure that the first record has no nulls in it, because that's how the engine is going to figure out what the fields are. Using the element query syntax doesn't help this. Whether nulls are a problem or not is going to depend on how they are serializing the dataset. You'll know if it is a problem if the nulls don't show up as empty elements (if the serialized XML completely omits them).

If they are familiar with the problem already, this may not be an issue. If it is an issue and they can't figure out how to serialize it properly, they can prepend (union) a single empty row that has all the columns and no nulls, and then you suppress the first row. It is a kludge, but it works if necessary. Hi Lisa i was struck with writing query i got the webservice responce - - - - - - - - - - - 8f584354-259b-48fb-a82b-838dd0d75a52 Reports In DataSet dialog Box i have taken a query first i tried with '*' only it is showing error an tried with this It is also not displaying the values of ProjectUid and ProjectName. Can u help me how to write the query for this type of WebService Responce.

Thanks Mahesh. .exe Dll.
