Does anyone know the location of Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll after you install the web part? I am wondering if I can inherit from this web part to wrap some other functionality into it.I know that i see it in the GAC buyt can't seem to find it so I can look at the assembly using reflector. Also, how easy is it to pass in parameters to the Report Viewer? Thanks! Erik

The GACView utility will allow you to extract it from GAC but I don't think you will get too far trying to subclass it. To my understanding, the RS web parts cannot be extended, nor can the parameter prompt area although Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.ReportViewerWebPart has been declared as public. Please do let us know if you are successful in that area. Another approach you can consider is using a custom filter webpart (see the MOSS SDK) to pass parameters to the ReportViewer webpart.

Hi Erik, Any luck with this? Wewant to change this dll using reflectorto get rid of the default page *** "Specify Parameter Values" in the main page. We wanted to put Report Name and Description in here with help. Thanks. John.

To anyone who would like to change the default page shown on Reporting Services and customise parameters go into the directory:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\Template\Layouts\ReportServer and change the RSViewerPage.aspx. Here is come example code: // Function: GetElementsByClassName // Description: This function will go through all document elements and update the MS default values // to customised values. var findClass = 'ms-WPBody'; var mandatoryToggle = false; var stopAutoRunToggle = false; // Get the query string parameters to extract the Report Name var main = window.location.href.split("?")[1]; // Get all Document Elements var aElm=document.body.getElementsByTagName('*'); for(var i=0; i<aElm.length; i++) { // Change the "Apply" button caption if (aElm[i].value == "Apply") { aElm[i].value = "View Report"; } // If className = ms-WPBody if(aElm[i].className==findClass) { // Add Company Logo if (aElm[i].innerText.indexOf("Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services") != -1 && aElm[i].innerText.length == 39) { aElm[i].innerHTML = "<img style='text-align: left' src='/ssrs/management/_layouts/ReportServer/logo_Grey_190x31.jpg'/>";"> } // Add Report Name else if (aElm[i].innerText.indexOf("Specify Parameter Values") != -1 && aElm[i].innerText.length == 24) { var str = unescape(main.substring(main.indexOf("RelativeReportUrl=") + 18,main.indexOf("&"))).replace(/\.rdl/g,"").replace(/report/g,"") + " Report"; aElm[i].innerHTML = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("/")+1).replace(/\+/g," "); } // Add Report Help Details else if (aElm[i].innerText.indexOf("Report parameter values must be specified") != -1 && aElm[i].innerText.length == 152) { aElm[i].innerHTML = "<YOUR HTML Text to replace MS default Page Details - use your company logo>"; } } // Hide AutoRun Parameter if (aElm[i].tagName.toUpperCase() == "SPAN" && aElm[i].innerText == "StopAutoRun") { aElm[i].style.visibility = 'hidden'; stopAutoRunToggle = true; } // Change Mandatory Prompts to Blue if(aElm[i].innerText.indexOf("*") != -1) { if (aElm[i].tagName.toUpperCase() == "SPAN") { aElm[i].style.color = "blue"; aElm[i].innerHTML = aElm[i].innerText.replace(/\x2a/g,""); mandatoryToggle = true; } } // Hook up event with each SELECT tag if (aElm[i].tagName.toUpperCase() == "SELECT") { // Ensure that a Wait Window is attached to each postback if (aElm[i].onchange != null) if (aElm[i].onchange.toString().indexOf("__doPostBack") != -1) { aElm[i].attachEvent('onchange', WaitWindow); aElm[i].attachEvent('onkeypress', function (event) {if (event.keyCode == 10 || event.keyCode == 13) WaitWindow(); } ); } } // Change Bank Manadatory Text Boxes to Yellow Background if (aElm[i].tagName.toUpperCase() == "INPUT") { // Ensure that a Wait Window is attached to each postback if (aElm[i].onchange != null) if (aElm[i].onchange.toString().indexOf("__doPostBack") != -1) { aElm[i].attachEvent('onchange', WaitWindow); aElm[i].attachEvent('onkeypress', function (event) {if (event.keyCode == 10 || event.keyCode == 13) WaitWindow(); } ); } // Change BackGround of Empty Mandatory fields if (mandatoryToggle) { if (aElm[i].value == '') { mandatoryToggle = false; aElm[i].style.backgroundColor = "lightyellow"; } } // Hide Stop Auto Run Field else if (stopAutoRunToggle) { if (aElm[i].value == '') { stopAutoRunToggle = false; aElm[i].style.visibility = 'hidden'; } } } } // Call MS Function ResizeRSViewerPage(); </script> This is an example and will not work for other sites. It just shows how you can manipulate the DOM.Hope this helps anyone out there!!Thanks.John.

Does anyone have any other solutions to this? I tried the code above with no luck.

Thanks a lot, the solution worked for me. I did extract the Microsoft.ReportingServices.Sharepoint .... dll and addd its reference in code then used it and it is working perfect. Muhammad Adeel
