Generating reports dynamically

I am new to reporting and Yukon and trying to understand reporting services.
I am trying
to determine if it is possible to define reports programmatically and send
them to a yukon server (or SQL server 2000) and have it generate an Excel
report and place it at the specified location on the file server. What
complicates this picture is that the reports to be generated/queries to be
performed are very complex. Can such complex queries be defined dynamically
and sent to the server via an API call ... can we use a stored procedure, if
necessary, to return the data?
I looked briefly at RDL and the web services but could not determine if they
could be leveraged for our solution. Any input you have will be greatly
appreciated.Yes, you can generate reports dynamically via the API... you can also run
them,,, you can create subscriptions to run immediately, and send the report
to a file share..

purpose and any websites that I can go to for more information on this.
Thanks in advance,

Generate report using XML as data source

Hi
How can I generate report using XML file as Datasource?
And I need to pass XML Filename dynamically at run-time..
--
Thanks in advance
BhaveshToday you have to write a data extension. In the future (Yukon) there will
be controls that can be used and it should be significantly easier to do
this sort of thing (load a dataset with the xml data and pass that to the
control).

I am reading XML data in dataset, in my asp page and passing it to Crystal
report control..and everything is working fine..
But I want to do this using SQL Server reporting service..
How can I do this?

version of SQL Server) will have controls (web and winform) so you can do it
the way you are thinking about.
Another alternative to a data extension is to rethinking where the work is
done. Have the data extraction occur within RS and then integrate in using
either URL integration or Web services.

Generate chart dynamically

Can sombody tell me how to generate cahrt dynamically in reporting service?
I need to generate a number of charts based on the number specified.
Thanks

WeiNot sure what you exactly mean with dynamically "generate a number of
charts" - but did you look into the Visibility.Hidden property of the chart?
You can define several charts at design time and hide them using an
expression at runtime (dependent on e.g. a parameter value).

each element in the list. Works like a charm. (Except that you cannot
control the Y-scale, but that will be solved in the next release, I hear).
Hth,

Thank you for your kind help. As my project, I do not know how many charts
will be generated. It depends on the number that a user specifies. What I am
planning to do is to use the following codes to generate chart dynamically:
Response.Write("<cc1:ReportViewer id='ReportViewer1' style='Z-INDEX: 101;
LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 8px' runat=server Width=680px
Height=632px ServerUrl='http://localhost/reportserver' ReportPath='/Sample
Report/Report1'" & _
"Toolbar=Default></cc1:ReportViewer>")
Of course I need to pass a parameter to the report so that the chart will be
different. However, it looks like the the above codes does not work.
Robert. Could you give me some suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
David
