I am interested in writing code for my new reporting services projects which I have just gotten involved with at work. Can anyone tell what language and syntax is required? Also are there any function reference libraries available for me to look at to see what I can use?
Thanks

Billy,
If you can expand a little on *why* you want to write code for this project, it might help us point you towards where to look as there are several areas in which you could write code.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for responding. I have been creating reports in reporting services for a while now, and we have just upgraded to SSRS 2008. I am trying to beef up on a few areas in reporting servces where I have not needed to go before. I am now in charge of developing new reports for our clients to be used alongside the existing software we develop and provide for them. I am just interested in the particular language and syntax to use for writing code in reporting services. I take it you can put as many functions in there as you like? Can I use VBA??? Is it Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 like I use in SSIS script tasks?

Sample to get you started:
Private bOddRow As Boolean
'*************************************************************************
' -- Display green-bar type color banding in detail rows
' -- Call from BackGroundColor property of all detail row textboxes
' -- Set Toggle True for first item, False for others.
'*************************************************************************
Function AlternateColor(ByVal OddColor As String, _
ByVal EvenColor As String, ByVal Toggle As Boolean) As String
If Toggle Then bOddRow = Not bOddRow
If bOddRow Then
Return OddColor
Else
Return EvenColor
End If
End Function
Then to use this on a table, add this to the expression on BackgroundColor: =Code.AlternateColor("White", "Whitesmoke", TRUE)

Hi,
Custom code u can use VB Functions... c# is not allowed.. but u can create DLL (Dynamic Link library) using C# or VB.net language..
in REPORT -> PROPERTIES -> CODE (u can write your code here)...
in REFERENCE TAB - > add dlls / references...
Regards,
Gayathri 🙂

Hi All
I wrote and Cutome code as below , that works well in development environment,
During Preview it gives me perfect Output,
but after the deployement it gives me error.
What must be fix to this. Please attached files where i added customcode and reference to System.data.dll
Function IsBudgetRevised(ByVal Proj_Id As Integer, ByVal Comp_Id As Integer, ByVal Sbu_Id As Integer, ByVal Contract_Type As Integer, ByVal FinYear as Integer) As String
Dim oConn As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
oConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=C-41396\C41396;" & _
"Initial Catalog=Finance_Dashboard; Integrated Security=true"
oConn.Open()
Dim oCmd As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
oCmd.Connection = oConn
oCmd.CommandText = "Select Convert(Varchar(50),UpdatedBudget)+'-'+Convert(Varchar(50),LatestForecast) from tbl_CalculateUpdatedBudLatestFor" & _
" Where Proj_Id=@Proj_Id" & _
" and Comp_Id=@Comp_Id" & _
" and Sbu_Id=@Sbu_Id " & _
" and Contract_Type=@Contract_Type " & _
" and FinYear= @FinYear "
oCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Proj_Id", Proj_Id)
oCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Comp_Id", Comp_Id)
oCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Sbu_Id", Sbu_Id)
oCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Contract_Type", Contract_Type)
oCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FinYear",FinYear)
Dim nRetVal As String = oCmd.ExecuteScalar()
oConn.Close()
If(nRetVal<>Nothing)
Return nRetVal
else
Return "0-0"
End If
End Function

Hi
There's a tutorial on embedding code here (with a couple of full examples). I'm hoping to get round to writing one on custom assemblies next, to complete the picture!

If bOddRow Then
Return OddColor
Else
Return EvenColor
End If
End Function
Then to use this on a table, add this to the expression on BackgroundColor:
=Code.AlternateColor("White", "Whitesmoke", TRUE)
Regarding this example, I was able to get the following to work for me:
BackgroundColor code for the rows:
=iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2,"White","Yellow")
If you want to use Report Code, though, I did this:
Function fToggleColor(ByVal bToggle As Boolean) As String
If bToggle Then
Return "White"
Else
Return "Yellow"
End If
End Function
with this in BackgroundColor:
=Code.fToggleColor(iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2,True,False))
I would be careful with RowNumber because I'm not fully aware of its behavior. I believe RowNumber would take the group name if there were groups involved. Not sure.

Visual Basic is the language, and here are some links that might be related to the reference libraries:
Custom Code and Assembly References

Visual Basic Run-Time Library Members:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/c157t28f%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
I copied the 2008 or 2008 R2 links, so be sure to change it to whatever version of SQL Server you're using at the top of each page.

Hy Gaya,
I didn't you can add dlls. It's very interesting. Thanks.
When you code in VB you haven't got intellisence with SSRS.
