SSRS : Display report to list files in a folder for viewing

  • Hi,

    I have a list of PDF files generated from the system as part of the reporting system.

    Is it possible to create a SSRS report to show a file listing from local hard disk and allow user to save it for viewing / printing ?

    I can't find any controls in toolbox that allow me to do so.

    Initially, I thought I can move the files to some folders on the server but there's no physical folder created on the server.

    Do you have any suggestions ?

    Thanks.

  • Textbox control has a 'Go to URL' option in Actions via textbox properties

    You can point to a PDF using file:// reference, either fixed or using an expression.

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • If I have more than 100 files, I need to create 100 text box ? Or the URL is dynamically created based on pattern ? That's not what I read about... maybe I am wrong.

  • If you can get the list into a dataset then you can use the dataset in a tablix and use the field in an expression in the textbox in the tablix

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • Found a simple solution by creating a Virtual Directory using IIS7.0

    Only thing now is how to incorporate this link in my SSRS menu so the user can access them.
