My team is looking for a manner to embed SSRS Report Viewer into a currently working VB6 program as the replacement of Crystal Report. Is it possible? if so, and how?
Many thanks!
Not sure about that, but you can certainly use a different approach such as:
Build a .NET WinForms program (exe) that uses the SSRS Report Viewer control and just call it with a VB6 Shell() + the parameter(s) of the report to run.
Not that I know of however another option would be to use a canned web browser control on a VB6 form and call the report using its URL

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 was trying to run the sample project with custom functions add-in using this link: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Excel-Custom-Functions.
I made sure that I meet all the prerequisites for running the project. I installed the certificates, and run the project successfully, but I'm stuck at step 3, of registering the custom functions add-ins by going to the insert tab and adding the respective add-in by selecting from the developer section. The problem I'm facing is that I have a different view and organization of options in my excel client application and I could not find the developer section from where I can register my Add-in. I'm attaching the images of the ribbon that I have in excel.
So if you will look into the images, you will see that there is manage my addins options, which will only show the add-ins that have been sideloaded manually but not the ones that were sideloaded using the script in this project. So I don't know where can I find the developer Section. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I'm also part of the Insider program which can be seen in the given image
If you're a member of the Office Insider program and are running Excel for Windows build number 10827 or later, the Insert ribbon should look like the following screenshot (with red rectangles highlighting the items you choose to register your custom functions add-in).
Have you joined the Office Insider program?
What build number of Excel for Windows are you running?
(Screenshot taken from the Custom Functions Tutorial).
So I fixed my problem after I found out that custom functions only works with the Insider Channel and not with Monthly Targeted, which I had beforehand. I got help from this link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/create-custom-functions-in-excel-is-not-working-as/1ce500cc-8f83-421a-bb7c-2ae34027d444.
We have a number of popups (generated using Javascript) that are displayed during page navigation.
When we record the webtest, the script doesn't capture all of them.
If there a way around this?
The load tests do no render javascript, but operate solely by recording individiual http requests. So no, there is no way around this.
Investigate the new Visual Studio 2010 Coded UI test for testing the operation of the UI.
I think this is the tool for the job, however I do not have any experience with it.
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.
Please i would want to know what kind of VB6 file(s) that generates a data report? Example vb common dialog is generated by COMDLG32.OCX, vb datagrid is generated by MSDATGRD.OCX, microsoft data report designer v6.0 is generated by MSDBRPT.DLL
I guess, you are looking for this.
As per the article, the name of the underlying dll is Msdbrptr.dll.
