can you please give any sample code for accessing the rdlc elements from code behind file.
I have a text box in the rdlc file, i have to set the value for that from code behind file. Please help me
Thanks

You can just load the RDLC code as XML using XDocument or XmlDocument or whatever you want, and then query and update the file accordingly as you wish, and then save the RDLC. If you have a value you want to set programatically this way, you can define a hidden report parameter and use the DOM to update that parameter programatically in the same way.

I have developed a BIRT report and need to export the output as PDF and as an Excel Spreadsheet. I am looking a solution to wrap data in PDF report exported from BIRT. A text gets truncated in the PDF, if it does not have spaces as soon as it exceeds the available width of the column.
e.g. phone number getting truncated
I would like to know if there is a solution without the need for adding a custom code as provided in How to wrap column data in birt report. This solution adds whitespace to the data which is not desirable when the report is exported to an excel spreadsheet. In essence, this solution manipulates the data which isn't the right thing to do.
I have tried using the Whitespace auto option but that does not work.
I am using BIRT version 4.12.
I was able to figure out the solution for getting the text wrapped in the PDF export. Made use of IPDFRenderOption.PDF_WORDBREAK for the same.
PDFRenderOption pdfOptions = new PDFRenderOption();
pdfOptions.setOutputFileName("T:/temp/filename.pdf");
pdfOptions.setOutputFormat("pdf");
pdfOptions.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_WORDBREAK, true);
task.setRenderOption(pdfOptions);
task.run();
I am using ssrs 2012.
How can I repeat username in the report header? ReportItem doesn't work if the report spans across more than one page.
I was told to use Internal parameters but there is no such option with rdlc.
Can this somehow be done in codebehind?
Thanks
I am a bit confusing about your problem.
Just add a page header, rigth click on report design surface, insert->page header:
Add a text box and set the expression value to the following built-in field
You should get something like this in every page:
Note I am using rdl but built-in fields is available for both RDL and RDLC.
Let me know if this was helpful.
I have an xml file with a simple structure like the following.
The following is what I have configured for my data set retrieval for the name attribute called 'CLNNAME'. And the value 'Hello' is displayed when previewing the report.
Then I have the following which is the one I want use but for some reason it does not display the value when previewing the report. Any shed of light into why the weird behaviour occurs when attribute names are hardcoded. Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Is my expectation valid? If yes, please guide me.
Local machine->local server process-> I generate Birt report-> which contain hyperlinks hard coded for example: http://www.ip_one.com/birtserver/parameters...(this is fine and points to another report and get me the report also when I hit the Url from inside the generated pdf report).
Now, what I need is to change ip_one to suppose ip_two once I hit the hyperlink which is inside the pdf(on the fly) keeping all the other parts of the url intact.
I am using birt-rcp-report-designer-4_2_2.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you are trying to dynamically create a hyperlink at report run time.
In the properties editor of the report item that has your link (i.e. label), edit the hyperlink. In the Hypelink Options (pop-up) to the left of "Location" field is the button ab| select 'JavaScript' Syntax.
You will be able to create the URL using JavaScript.
My reports are linked to a masterpage in a library file. I want the masterpage to display the report name, but the report name will be different for each report. How can the report communicate the report name to the library's masterpage?
Use resource files. Here's how:
Create and link a resource file to the report. See the BIRT documentation here. For example, if you have a report called Products_Report.rptdesign, and your application localization is US English, then your resource file should be called Products_Report_en_US.properties.
Create an entry in the resource file for the report name. For example, report_name=Products Report. You'll want the key to be the same for every report.
Access the resource from the library's masterpage. For example, you could add a Dynamic Text element with this expression: reportContext.getMessage("report_name", reportContext.getLocale());
Use global constants. Here's how:
In the BIRT report designer's Outline pane select the rptdesign element.
Click the Script tab.
Create a constant. For example: var REPORT_NAME = "Products Report";
Save
Access the constant from the library's masterpage. For example, you could add a Dynamic Text element with the expression: REPORT_NAME;
This is a bit easier than using resources file - but with the resources file you get the ability to display a different report name to users depending on their language.
