How can I set the default column display of the Test Results window in vs2010? With each new project, I find it necessary to add a column to the display. This also happens from time to time with an existing project. What I want is to not have to do this again.
Is there a way to specify the default columns to be displayed for current and future projects?

I created a report in birt, where I would like to click on one of the data points in the report. Then it should link to a new dynamically generated report, that shows the data from the date where I clicked on the last report.
I got a little .gif for you, to demonstrate what I've already done.
HERE
I did this by creating two reports. The first one being the graph with the two lines which represent random test data. When I press on one of the rectangles from the graph, a hyperlink gets called, which sends me to the second report. This was done by adding a mouse click interaction on the Y values with a drill-through that directs you to another report.
Here is my problem: I want the 2nd report to dynamically adapt according to the date which I selected on the first report. Like seen in the example .gif. Select 31.07.2017 -> show detail from that date.
I don’t want to create a new report for every single date and manually link every single one of them to the correct date. This would be tedious and with updating, new data every day it would also be impossible to maintain.
So how do I do this?
Alright, I made it work with data set parameters and report parameters.
Details for the answer can be found HERE
All I had t do is define a paramater and pass the values from my report 1 to my report 2 via the parameter and its working!
How do I stop SSRS from hiding a column when previewing if the column has nothing more than empty rows? I have set all columns to be fully visible, yet the report preview does not show the empty columns. I know that this is a default feature within Visual Studio that hides all empty columns by default, so how do I change it so it can show all columns no matter what. Where can I change those settings?
If you mean the preview in the query designer of the dataset:
This is only possible when writing your own MDX since the generated code always generates a SELECT NON EMPTY for the measure axis. So removing the NON EMPTY part will always show your column/measure.
If you mean the ssrs report preview:
Columns only hide when using a table matrix with a column group. In this case make sure your dataset always returns each column group at least once, regardless of your chosen filters. E.g. if using MDX this could mean removing a NON EMPTY from your row axis or using the right-click option "include empty cells".
Clarification for comment plus possible workaround:
This "hiding columns" things is no feature. If the column isn't in the result of the dataset, SSRS can't know that this value even exists, so there is no solution if using a column group except for redesigning your query.
You could work around this by not using a column group and instead of using static "hard-coded" columns which, for example, sum the values depending on your group. See the following example screenshot i made: example
I want to highlight specific rows on Interactive reports in APEX I go to format > Highlight then set the criteria needed for Highlighting desired rows. My problem is that this is a temporary solution. I need these configurations to be set as default so that any user try to use this report results appear highlighted as in criteria set before.any Help?
This is given in documentation read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/ir_using.htm#CHDDDBCG
and accordingly save your highlighed report as a default report which is permenent one.
As a developer, you can save standard reports which will be shown to users by default.
To do this, first generate the report you want to show as default, with all your filtering and highlighting etc.
Then from the Actions menu, select Save Report. Then select As Default Report Settings from the Save select box.
This option is only available if you are logged into the builder at the same time.
We have a report developed in another tool that the user exports to Excel to manipulate the data. In the old tool, the columns are being saved in the same order as the dataset returned by the stored procedure. But in SSRS the columns sort is changed to the order that they are displayed on the screen. The user is a nut case and can't convince her to change the order of the columns on the screen report to match her old report sort, but on the other hand does not want to adapt to the new column order. Unfortunately the easiest solution (i.e. replacing the user :-)) is not implementable. Is there a property that I can use to change the sorting on the columns when they are exported. Without knowing much about it, I imagined ZIndex would have done something like that. But it is set to 0 and disabled, so I can't change it's value.
Thanks
I know it's years later but for the benefit of anyone who is in this predicament, a similar idea: in the same report, you create another tablix that will be your "output" tablix, where you arrange things as you please using the same dataset. Make this tablix with visibility hidden, and set it to "output" as necessary. Turn off all outputs from the first tablix. So you have basically a ghost tablix that only works when you export to csv.

I have an RDLC file and am wanting to add a data source to it, although without any luck so far. The data source is a custom class written by myself (just to add, we do this all the time). We recently converted over to the VS2010 RDLC format which caused some problems, but we've made some changes to our implementation that workaround the more major issues.
So, back to the issue at hand, when I attempt to add my data source to the DummyDataSource list in the RDLC view in VS2010 it just does nothing, however it does add the data source to the list of data sources, but you can't select it from the drop-down list in the RDLC view which means I can't add the data source at all.
Has anyone come across this problem? Is there anything I need to check? I've searched with fervour and had no luck.
There seems to be a bit of black magic going on here. Or at least I haven't figured out all of the incantation to make this happen reliably.
I think I was having a similar problem. Not sure if this will help you, but here's how I got around it.
In the VS2010 report designer, use view->Report Data to show the Report Data pane.
Click the New button and choose Dataset... to get the Dataset Properties dialog.
Name your Dataset, if you've done this before, you probably know that the dataset name here needs to match the name provided in code when you bind your ReportDataSource.
The new part that I just tried, is to click the New... button next to the Data source drop down list. The resulting wizard walks you through selecting your assembly and CLR class (use the checkbox to select your class).
When the wizard finished, my new dataset appeared.
One thing to note: The first time I tried to reproduce this, the wizard completed without adding my dataset. I went back to my class definition and decorated it with [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes and then re-ran the wizard and it seemed to work great.
Perhaps someone with deeper knowledge can comment on why those attributes make this work, or why the wizard fails silently without them.
Your data source object must include a native data type as a property on the class, otherwise it doesn't let you add it. Funny, eh!
I could not add the datasource, after following the wizard (new button) the data source did not appear in the drop downlist.
What I did was add a property with a primitive type VS class and then proceeded to show the correct data source.
Strange to have to do this, but I found another way.
If you are using a stored procedure, replace everything inside the procedure with one row select using no source tables/functions. I couldn't get it working with a stored procedure that returned data from temp table or normal table either.
I have seen this happen when your final select in a Stored Procedure pulls from a temp/memory table. You have to fake the designer out by adding a dummy select 0 AS mycol1int, '' AS mycol2string, etc. Once you have created the Dataset, you can then remove that dummy select. Another marvelous, fabulous feature in VS! They own the DB, they own the IDE, but...
If added data source object is not shown on ReportData then:
1. Right click on rdlc and click open with
2. Select xml editor
3. add your needed dataset by hand.
After this refresh ReportData and you will see the datasource object on the list.
