Run and save copy of SSRS 2005 report to folder from VB.NET

  • How can I call an SSRS 2005 Report from my VB.NET application and have the report saved to a specific folder.  I need to create a summary report every time my VB.NET code runs.  I just don't know how to achieve this in VB.NET and SSRS 2005.

    Example:

    1) My VB.NET console application runs

    2) the console app splits out a txt file and inserts its rows into several DB tables

    3) I want to somehow call a report I create  in SSRS , let's call it "Summary Report" and have it run based on the results of this run into a PDF or something into the directory I desire so the users can view the job results of the txt parsing that my console app performed

  • There is a sample application that comes with reporting services that looks like it covers what you want to do. If you've installed the samples you'll find it in:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\Samples\Applications\FindRenderSave
  • cool, thanks!  I actually got it done but this is also something I can look at after the fact.
