Custom Data Extensions

  • Questions -

    1.  If you create a custom data processing extension do you need to create the dataread part of the extension especially if its pointing to sqldatabase?

    The reason I am asking, is that I have connection program that puts together a connection string that connects to my databases. I uses it on my web server to connect to my sql server which is behind a firewall. I also uses in other programs.

    Wth program that creates my sql connection string, I first pass it a database name and it the passes back is the sql connection string and this is the reason am writing the data processing extension to incorporate this program into like most of the other applications i use and it also provides security.

    2. If you put the user name and password for your database in the credentials section of the data source in your report is that viewable if some one opens up the xml file created for the report or the rdl file created by report?

  • Guys,

      I have found an anwser to my question - you can create a datasource through code  - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSPROG/htm/rsp_ref_soapapi_service_ak_9n79.asp

    You don't have to go through creating an data extension just to create a custom datasource.

    Thanks,

    Dwayne
