Reporting Services Filtering

I am on security doubt on how to design a report that must show the accounts
of a customer.
I have an aspx page showing the customer info , then he must push a button a
see its accounts on a report generated by Reporting Services.
Obviously the report can not be accesed via a Customer parameters because
another users could see any customer 's accounts.

I am looking for a soolution for it and I am thinking in generating a temp table with a random Id/Ticket/GUID/whatever an pass it by parameter.

Reporting Services Security

Last week i needed to design some reports with Microsoft Sql Server Reporting Services.
These reports 'll be shown on a demo and prefered not to show login windows when a report needed to de displayed, so that i have to way to make it. One was to use the viewer using the SOAP API published at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/SQLRSViewer.asp.
The another one was to configure Reporting Services so as to work with a "hardcoded user".
To do that you must :

Open Internet Information Server Manager
Go to ReportServer Website properties
Go to Directory Security Tab
Edit the authentication methods
Enable Anonymous Access
Write a valid user/password for Reporting Services




Then on the web.config of ReportServer WebSite add/modify theses tags




add/modify the authentication mode Tag with the value "Windows"

add/modify the "autorization" Tag
add/modify the "allow users" Element with the value "*"
close the "autorization" Tag

add/modify the "identity impersonate" Tag with the value "true"



Restart your ReportServer Web Site, and now you can see your reports without being asked for a user/password login window.

rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable on Reporting Services

Today i wanted to publish some reports i have designed for Microsoft SqlServer Reporting Services and i begin to experiment some errors.

I got the error that server doesn't exist or access is denied.

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online Help
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Before two hours i realized that the server ip had changed, so that affected the Reporting Services Configuration.

I firstly solved it modifying my Hosts file a c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc with the new ip number.

Then i found that it can be solved with the rsconfig Utility

You can read its usage at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSUIREF/htm/cpu_rsconfig_v1_5f1e.asp?frame=true

So that i left my hosts file as was, and tested the solution with the rsconfig utility.
I opened the Command Prompt

and executed a line like this

rsconfig -c -sMyServerName -dReportServer -awindows -uDomain\Account -pMyPassword

And all becomes working fine.

How can I programatically set the rowheight of a row in my Datagrid?

How can I programatically set the rowheight of a row in my Datagrid (Winforms)?

One way you can change the height of a row is to use reflection to access the Datagrid internal row objects which are not publicly exposed.
Here are both VB and C# sample projects showing how you might do this.
The sample provides a class that you can instantiate by passing a Datagrid, creating a rowHeights object.
Once you create this object, you can use an indexer on the object to set and get the rowheights.

That was originally published at SyncFusion but it is no more available.
