How to pass a string to the controller class in SSRS?

Hello,

I have a requirement to create an SSRS report that will take a string as an argument. This string is a scanned barcode that will contain, among other things, a sales order number. The requirement is for the report to run based on this string.

Is it possible to pass such a value to the controller class so that I can extract the sales order number and then find the customer number and set the language in the report via controller.parmReportContract().parmRdlContract().parmLanguageId()?

Thank you.

Hi Shooowtek,

Do you mean that your string will have order Id and other strings, if yes my solution I commented still valid for your case, and you can use it, but I think based on what you wrote you should use subString to get the Sales Order Id then from it you can get the Customer Id and then you can get the language Id.

You can try the following, Add your code to the prePromptModifyContract method or to main method:

YourContractClass contract = this.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract() as YourContractClass; //Your Logic to get the Language contract.parmLanguageId("YourValue");

Try it and tell me if you want additional help.

Thanks

Hi Shooowtek,

What do you mean by "then the corresponding language is displayed"? Will a language contract parameter appear? Or what exactly?

Also when do u want to set the value? after you click ok on the dialog?

How to pass a string to the controller class in SSRS?

I will cite a simple example that will also apply to me.
A user runs a report from the sales and marketing module. A dialog box appears. The user then enters a string. The string consists of an order number and some other characters needed for other processes. Then the corresponding language version is displayed according to SalesTable.custTable_CustAccount().languageId()..

Is it possible to create such a report?

Hi,

Does the language parameter appear on the dialog? And do you want the language value to be filled before you open the dialog? In this case you can preProdmtModifyContract method

Thanks,

Hi @Shooowtek,

Do you mean you want to pass the string as contract parameter without open report dialog?

Thanks,
