Is it possible to integrate SSRS reports to the webforms..an example will be enough to keep me moving.
Absolutely it is.
What you are looking for is the ReportViewer control, located in the Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms assembly. It will allow you to place a control right on your web form that will give people an interface for setting report parameters and getting the report.
Alternatively you can set all the parameters yourself and output the report in whatever format you need. We use it in our application to output PDF.
For instance - this is how we setup a reportviewer object for one of our reports and get the PDF, and then send it back to the user. The particular code block is a web handler.
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
string report = null;
int managerId = -1;
int planId = -1;
GetParametersFromSession(context.Session, out report, out managerId, out planId);
if (report == null || managerId == -1 || planId == -1)
{
return;
}
CultureInfo currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
List<ReportParameter> parameters = new List<ReportParameter>();
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("Prefix", report));
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("ManagerId", managerId.ToString()));
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("ActionPlanId", planId.ToString()));
string language = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name;
language = String.Format("{0}_{1}", language.Substring(0, 2), language.Substring(3, 2).ToLower());
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("Lang", language));
ReportViewer rv = new ReportViewer();
rv.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;
rv.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportServer"]);
if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DbYear"] == "2007")
{
rv.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/ActionPlanning/Plan";
}
else
{
rv.ServerReport.ReportPath = String.Format("/ActionPlanning{0}/Plan", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DbYear"]);
}
rv.ServerReport.SetParameters(parameters);
string mimeType = null;
string encoding = null;
string extension = null;
string[] streamIds = null;
Warning[] warnings = null;
byte[] output = rv.ServerReport.Render("pdf", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamIds, out warnings);
context.Response.ContentType = mimeType;
context.Response.BinaryWrite(output);
}
this is a knowledge base article which describes how to render report output to an aspx page in a particular file format.

Be warned that you will lose some functionality such as the parameter selection stuff when you do not use the URL Access method.
Report server URL access supports HTML Viewer and the extended functionality of the report toolbar. The SOAP API does not support this type of rendered report. You need to design and develop your own report toolbar, if you render reports using SOAP.

I've had to write my first Outlook add-in.
Basically, I have two signatures to choose from: "oferta" and "default". Depending on the words contained in the mail subject, a different signature will be used.
Everything works fine with text-only signatures, but when pictures are included, these are never sent and ares displayed as blank squares instead.
However, if I manually select any of the signatures in Outlook, the pictures are properly displayed.
I guess the problem is in the GetSignature() method, which I borrowed form someone else's answer (sorry, I can't find where I got this from!).
How could I solve this? Is there a better way to automatically change the signatures?
This is my code:
public partial class ThisAddIn
{
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Application.ItemSend += new Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_ItemSendEventHandler(Application_ItemSend);
}
// When an email is sent a different signature is appended depending on the subject.
private void Application_ItemSend(object Item, ref bool Cancel)
{
MailItem mail = (MailItem)Item;
string subject = mail.Subject;
string firma = subject.ToUpper().Contains("PEDIDO") ? GetSignature("oferta") : GetSignature("default");
mail.HTMLBody += firma;
if (mail != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mail);
}
// Finds and returns the .htm signature file.
private string GetSignature(string signatureName)
{
string appDataDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + "\\Microsoft\\Signatures";
string signature = string.Empty;
DirectoryInfo diInfo = new DirectoryInfo(appDataDir);
if (diInfo.Exists)
{
FileInfo[] fiSignature = diInfo.GetFiles(signatureName + ".htm");
if (fiSignature.Length > 0)
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fiSignature[0].FullName, Encoding.Default);
signature = sr.ReadToEnd();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(signature))
{
string fileName = fiSignature[0].Name.Replace(fiSignature[0].Extension, string.Empty);
signature = signature.Replace(fileName + "_files/", appDataDir + "/" + fileName + "_files/");
}
}
}
return signature;
}
}
Of course - pictures are added as separate attachments, and you never deal with them.
Also, concatenating two HTML strings (mail.HTMLBody += firma;) does not necessarily produce a valid HTML string.
If using Redemption is an option (I am its author), it exposes RDOSignature.ApplyTo method, whcih inserts a signature including its attachments and styles.
My team has been using VSTS for 8 months. Now, Our customer is asking to get "Repro Steps" of the work items in VSTS.
Is there any way to get the content of "Repro Steps" without the HTML format?
No, because the Repro Steps value is the rich text that can contain image etc…. So, the value is incorrect if just return the data without HTML format.
However, you can remove HTML tag programing.
Simple code:
public static string StripHTML(string input)
{
return Regex.Replace(input, "<.*?>", String.Empty);
}
var u = new Uri("[collection URL]"");
VssCredentials c = new VssCredentials(new Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Common.WindowsCredential(new NetworkCredential("[user name]", "[password]")));
var connection = new VssConnection(u, c);
var workitemClient = connection.GetClient<WorkItemTrackingHttpClient>();
var workitem = workitemClient.GetWorkItemAsync(96).Result;
object repoValue = workitem.Fields["Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps"];
string repoValueWithOutformat = StripHTML(repoValue.ToString());
I have found some plugin code on the web that enables me to get the entity ID and the object type code for an entity in a plugin. The plugin is fired on RetrieveMultiple on activitypointer. The code lets me get the id and object code of the entity that is currently being viewed (which is displaying the activities grid which is firing the plugin).
This code works fine when using the web interface. However I need it to also work in the Outlook preview pane and currently it does not. The activities grid in the Outlook preview pane just says "an error has occurred". Below is the code that the plugin is using to get the details from the web header.
internal static Dictionary<string, string> GetHeaderFields(HttpContext webcontext, string objectTypeCode, string objectId)
{
Dictionary<string, string> fields = new Dictionary<string, string>();
string callerentitytype = null;
string callerentityidstring = null;
try
{
// Activities Navigation Pane
if (new List<string>(webcontext.Request.Params.AllKeys).Contains("oType"))
{
callerentitytype = webcontext.Request.Params["oType"];
callerentityidstring = webcontext.Request.Params["oId"];
}
// Activities Sub Grid
else
{
string requeststring = webcontext.Request.UrlReferrer.Query;
requeststring = requeststring.Substring(1);
string[] parts = requeststring.Split(new string[] { "=", "&" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
for (int i = 0; i < parts.Length - 1; i++)
if (parts[i].ToLower() == "otype" || parts[i].ToLower() == "etc")
callerentitytype = parts[i + 1];
else if (parts[i].ToLower() == "oid" || parts[i].ToLower() == "id")
callerentityidstring = parts[i + 1];
}
fields.Add(objectTypeCode, callerentitytype);
fields.Add(objectId, callerentityidstring);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Plugin.LoggableException(string.Format("Failed to obtain header information; {0}", ex.Message), ex.InnerException);
}
return fields;
}
The reason is that webcontext.Request.UrlReferrer is NULL. Is there anywhere else I can get this info of the 'calling' entity? (Not the activity sub grid that is triggering the plugin, but the actual parent entity that the sub grid is on).
Thanks for any help or direction with this.
This might work. Each of the activitypointers that are returned should all be "regarding" the same record (if in a sub grid). If you take say the 1st one and examine the regardingobjectid property, that should be an entity reference which will give you the logical name of the parent and it's guid. If that works, it will work across all clients (in theory anyway).
I am developing a sample Twitter app for Windows phone 7. In my code to display some details of user, used the following code.
void ShowProfile()
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(Profile_DownloadCompleted);
client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml?user_id=" + this.id));
}
void Profile_DownloadCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Error != null)
{ return; }
if (e.Result == null) MessageBox.Show("NUlllllllllll");
XElement Profile = XElement.Parse(e.Result);
var ProfileDetails = (from profile in Profile.Descendants("user")
select new UserProfile
{
UserName = profile.Element("screen_name").Value,
ImageSource = profile.Element("profile_image_url").Value,
Location = profile.Element("location").Value,
TweetsCount = profile.Element("statuses_count").Value,
}).FirstOrDefault();
LayoutRoot.DataContext = ProfileDetails;
}
Here, LayoutRoot is the Grid name. But the data binding doesn't work.
Infact, when kept a Break point it seems there is no data in the ProfileDetails object. But I could observe that e.Result contains the required data in the XML format.
Can any body figureout where I am going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
You have used XElement.Parse so Profile represents the single root <user> that API request would have returned. You are then trying to look for user elements inside it which of course makes no sense.
Try XDocument.Parse instead. Also does it really make any sense assigning a IEnumerable<UserProfile> to the data context when that list can only ever contain 1 entry?
I need to read stuff from an Outlook msg file. Currently I'm using a class from CodeProject.com project to accomplish this, since deploying VSTO and Outlook on a server is not an option.
This class gets To, From, CC, Subject, Body, and everything else I need from the msg file, except Date information (such as Received Date and Sent Date).
There is some (really, really low-level) documentation on how to get stuff out of msg files on MSDN, but it's a little beyond the scope of this project and doesn't mention dates at all.
Ideally I'd be able to have a drop-in replacement for the class I am using now (OutlookStorage.cs in the previously mentioned CodeProject) or be able to modify the existing class a bit. To modify, I would need the correct 4 character hexidecimal prop identifier for received date. For instance, Subject is listed as PR_SUBJECT = "0037" and Body is listed as PR_BOY = "1000".
If you're using OutlookStorage.cs from CodeProject, then add the following:
private const string PR_RECEIVED_DATE="007D";
private const string PR_RECEIVED_DATE_2 = "0047";
...
/// <summary>
/// Gets the date the message was received.
/// </summary>
public DateTime ReceivedDate
{
get
{
if (_dateRevieved == DateTime.MinValue)
{
string dateMess = this.GetMapiPropertyString(OutlookStorage.PR_RECEIVED_DATE);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(dateMess))
{
dateMess = this.GetMapiPropertyString(OutlookStorage.PR_RECEIVED_DATE_2);
}
_dateRevieved = ExtractDate(dateMess);
}
return _dateRevieved;
//return ExtractDate(dateMess);
}
}
private DateTime _dateRevieved = DateTime.MinValue;
private DateTime ExtractDate(string dateMess)
{
string matchStr = "Date:";
string[] lines = dateMess.Split(new String[] { "\r\n" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (string line in lines)
{
if (line.StartsWith(matchStr))
{
string dateStr = line.Substring(matchStr.Length);
DateTime response;
if (DateTime.TryParse(dateStr, out response))
{
return response;
}
}
}
return DateTime.MinValue;
}
I think the Aspose library will do what you want, ok it a 3rd party lib so may not be what you want. There are a few vbs scripts around that get basic infomation out of msg files that could be translated.
Got a hint from this:
string fullFileName = "c:\message.msg";
DateTime dateRevieved = new DateTime();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fullFileName, Encoding.Default);
string full = sr.ReadToEnd();
string date;
int iStart;
int iLast;
string caption;
//This -should- handle all manner of screwage
//The ONLY way it would not is if someone guessed the -exact- to-the-second
//time that they send the message, put it in their subject in the right format
while (true) { //not an infinite loop, I swear!
caption = "Date:";
if (full.IndexOf("Date:") > -1) { //full shortens with each date is removed
string temp = "";
iStart = full.LastIndexOf(caption);
temp = full.Remove(0, iStart + caption.Length);
full = full.Substring(0, iStart);
iLast = temp.IndexOf("\r\n");
if (iLast < 0) {
date = temp;
} else {
date = temp.Substring(0, iLast);
}
date = date.Trim();
if (date.Contains(subject) || subject.Contains(date)) {
continue; //would only happen if someone is trying to screw me
}
try {
dateRevieved = DateTime.Parse(date); //will fail if not a date
break; //if not a date breaks out of while loop
} catch {
continue; //try with a smaller subset of the msg
}
} else {
break;
}
}
This is kind of a hack compared to the ways you can get other things from msg files using something this lovely project. Still, it's stood up to everything I have thrown against it, and as noted the -only- way to fool it is to put the exact to-the-second date in the subject line in the proper format.
to combine your two posts I would suggest the following solution:
To modify, I would need the correct 4 character hexidecimal prop identifier for recieved date. For instance, Subject is listed as PR_SUBJECT = "0037" and Body is listed as PR_BOY = "1000".
Look for "007D".
Use the method you posted in your second post on the received data to eliminate the problem when the same (date) string is inside the subject.
I have to mention that this method doesn't seem to work on internal eMails: In mails I receive from colleagues, there is no substg1.0_007Dxxxx-Property.
Here, the date seems to be hidden in substg1.0_0047xxxx.
All the best!
