We have several Crystal Reports that are used in a Windows Form application that we are re-creating using RDLC. One of the reports needs the ability to drill through (or down) to more detailed data. I've followed several examples (mostly for SSRS) to enable the drill through functionality in the RDLC report but I can never get it to work. Its like the drill through logic is being ignored. I never get the "hand" to appear. I've even tried using "Go to URL" for the action and that doesn't work.
Is this functionality only available for SSRS or web applications?

I'm using Pentaho Report Designer Version: 8.0.0.0-28.
When published, I want the reports to be adjusted to the whole page.
I don't want to be obliged to scroll up and down or right and left to see the whole report.
If you ever took a look at Inventory By Line report in the Steel Wheel directory that's exactly how I want my reports to be, so that it won't be any scrolling.
I can't find this option in the page setup tab.
Any suggestions?
I have set up a reporting tool using sql server 2008 R2 with a single report containing 4 datasets on a single page. Each dataset is basically a table and a chart. I would like to have it set up in such a way as to have two datasets on one page of the report and the others on the next page.
Is there anyway to format the layout of a single report or would I have to design a second report and call that from the first somehow and if so how do I do that?
These reports will be later binded to a web application using the reportviewer but not sure if this is possible with visual studio 2010.
Add a page break. You'll maybe need to add an extra rectangle per page to hold the table and chart controls for that page (been some time since I designed a report, sorry)
Does anyone know a way of providing an Export to HTML for ReportViewer WebForms?
I know by default, Image, PDF and Excel are supported formats. I'm guessing there must be some sort of workaround to get the HTML of the report out?
Take a look at this link.
You use the Render method and specify the format for export.
If you are using the 2010 ReportViewer control then it appears HTML4.0 it has been removed from this version (It did work fine in the 2008 version) if you are executing in local mode.
See http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
Question: What are the limitations of ReportViewer control?
A: Unlike the Report Server the
ReportViewer control does not connect
to databases or execute queries. Also,
in local mode the only export
formats available are Excel, Word and
PDF. (In remote mode all formats
supported by the Report Server are
available.) The ReportViewer control
cannot be extended by adding custom
renderers or custom report items.
Besides additional export formats, the
Report Server offers better
scalability, central storage,
management and access control of
reports, caching, subscriptions, etc.
I'm working on a SQL Server Reporting Service report, that will eventually be in my WPF app. There are certain sections of the report which should only be shown, if certain conditions are met. How do I make sections appear or be hidden/collapsed in the Report Viewer? (I'm working in VS 2010.)
It may depend on what you mean by "section". Most report objects (such as text boxes, table rows, etc.) have a property Visibility>Hidden which can be set to a condition, by selecting the <Expression...> option for the property in the Properties window in the Report Designer.
Reporting is pretty new to me. I see that VS provides some Reporting controls that provides a wizard to help creating the report. My question is, if I already have stored procedures that generate the report data, what is the difference between presenting it through a reportview or gridview? Is there obvious advantage that reportview control provides that other grid controls don't?
ReportViewer in local mode (RDLC) has a lot of additional functionality
ReportViewer can do multiple tables, graphs and non-table data
ReportViewer can paginate and print data
ReportViewer has capabilities to export the report into Excel, PDF etc.
You can use ReportViewer controls to display reports generated with Sql Server Reporting Services. So if you wanted to have a report that included charts or graphics, you could create it and host it in SSRS and then include it right in your application.
A grid view can only display data in a grid. The report viewer has the capability to format data in much more sophisticated ways.
