I m using ssrs on sql 2008.My question maybe utopic.
I want to make this situation,i have two parameters,named xParameters and yParameters.both of them loaded from datasets like combobox.
I want to make like dropdownlist selectedchanged event on c#.If i selected xParameters then hide yParameters.Also this state valid of yParameters.Then execute query on selected query.
Is it possible.
Note:I wrote a query,if bParameters is not null then Xquery,else Yquery,but i want to hide other parameters on forms when a parameters selected.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know if you can change the visibility of parameters in SSRS.
No, with the built-in SSRS interface you cannot dynamically hide and show parameters.
Potential workarounds:
You can build your own interface and call the web services to pass your parameters in and display the results in your interface.
Can you combine the two parameter lists into one, so that the user is forced by the drop down to select just one item?
Catch invalid entries for the parameters and show an error text box on the report (Big red print) that explains what the user did wrong.

Is it possible to add a session in cq:dialog which renders whatever data is supplied in the fields and previews it out in real time. In the simplest of scenarios, I need to add two numbers and when I enter both the numbers the cq:dialog should preview it's output as 4. There should be two sessions in the the cq:dialog, like two columns, the left one to enter value to the fields and the right to display the rendered output. How to achieve this? Is it possible to?
You can make use of "event handlers". Adobe docs has a simple example using JQuery that you can customize for your requirement.

When creating a form in Orbeon Form Builder, you can define a list of values for a dropdown list box.
When running the form in form runner, is it possible to remove the "[Select...]" value from this dropdown list box?
I would like to restrict the possible values only to the given ones and restricting the user from selecting an "[Select...]" value when filling in the form. I hope you understand what I mean :)
Here is a screenshot
It's not possible without changes to Orbeon Forms to remove the empty option.
The best way to achieve what you want is to make the field required. When that's the case, the user will have to select a value or validation won't pass.
(The rationale for adding/keeping an empty option at the top is to force the user to make a selection. Otherwise it is possible that users might not even look at the option selected by default, and involuntarily select an incorrect option.)
I call a jasper report through an independent URL through which I pass one of the input controls needed to run the report.
E.g. http:// localhost:8080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&standAlone=true&reportUnit=xyz&ParentFolderUri=abcd&j_username=xyz&j_password=xyz¶meter1=value1& . . .
As you can see in the above independent URL, I pass the JasperServer username and password, reportUnit name and location and other mandatory parameters, along with the report input parameter, i.e., "parameter1" which can have a value like "value1".
I used a mandatory, read-only and visible input control for this input value. Its value would come from the independent URL, showed in the box but was read-only and hence could not be changed.
The report was working absolutely fine upto this point.
But the tragedy began when my client rejected this idea. He wanted a completely invisible input control to my report and the input value would be passed through the independent URL, just like illustrated above.
And then my client asked me to refer to this and made me work on cascading input controls.
Recently I added a cascading input control to this report. The input control type is a single select query, which utilizes two parameters that I pass to the report through the independent URL.
Now when the Jasper server responds to the independent URL with the input parameters, all the other static parameters work properly, except for the cascaded one.
When I click the select box of the cascaded input, I can see the desired options for a second, and then, it just goes empty while I'm viewing the select list.
But when I make the "Parameter1" input control visible, the cascading input control works!
And then I turn in invisible, the cascading input control turns into a beast that does things by itself and not listen to his master.
I am not able to understand why this is happening. Could anybody please provide me a solution to this?
I have found a temporary solution for this.
I made the "Parameter1" input control visible and read only.
Next, I used a stylesheet and defined a style rule that would affect that input control's display on the web page, making "display: none".
I passed the name of the stylesheet through the URL. So this stylesheet is used for the report.
Now, the "Parameter1" input control is invisible to the end user and my report still runs with no one knowing it's just a fix.
I am trying to achieve the following for a parameterized hudson job: when a user clicks on 'build now' he should be presented with three drop down list parameters viz., Environment, Server, Port. I want the drop down to be dynamic i.e on changing the value of environment the list of servers should change accordingly and similarly the values of port should change on the basis of selected server.
Once a user makes the final selection, all three values from the dropdowns are to be used to make a single value to be passed to the build job as a parameter. I am stuck at how to achieve this in a single parameter and make it dynamic. In my custom plugin i have extended the ParameterDefinition class and within it i have a static nested class extending the ParameterDescriptor class with doFillXXXItems() for these three fields. The values in environment dropdown are populated on the basis of logged in username. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me figure out how to make the drop downs dynamic. I have already tried the dynamic drop down listbox in ui-samples plugin but its not working in my case :(
You could inherit hudson.model.ChoiceParameterDefinition, and override its method of getChoicesText. return the options based on whatever you want, in your situation, you could get environments from Hudson.getInstance().
Below snippets is shown how get environment variable.
Hudson.getInstance().getGlobalNodeProperties()
.get(EnvironmentVariablesNodeProperty.class).getEnvVars().get(name);
My SSRS report contains 7 input parameters and while running my report the size of the parameter(i.e. length) is increasing.
One of my input parameter(drop down list) may contain 100 characters so the size is not constant but i want to place all parameters in 2 lines or 3 lines(in a row).
Now it is coming 2 parameters per a row
Please advice
As gbn indicates, it's not easy to change the built in report server method of presenting the parameters. SSRS likes to always use two parameters per line, presented in the order that they exist in the report (which must match the dependency order.)
So the alternatives that gbn mentions: Both involve building a "Wrapper" application: some custom code or a web page that you can code however you like to get the parameters. Then you call Reporting Services, either in code or by passing a formatted URL with your parameters. The report can be displayed in a frame, new window, or passed as a stream to where ever you'd like.
The URL access is pretty straightforward and reliable: I often use it either by hand (to create "favorites") or in code.

For what you are looking for, these might be more work than you expected, but they will be extremely flexible for your interface.

You can certainly do that, just right click on the RDL file in the solution explorer and select view code. then move the XML tags named <ReportParameter Name="Nameofparameter"> under <ReportParameters> according to where ever you want to position. And then save it. thats it!!!
The report parameters are kind of floating in values of 2, so if u have 4 report parameters then it will be shown as 1,2 next line 3,4. Best of luck!!
Use ASP.NET for the paramaters and a ReportViewer control or URL access to render. Seriously.
I don't know of any option to present parameters any way other then the default
I believe you could try using jQuery. The report parameters are rendered in a table under a div tag with class sqlrv-ParameterContainer. Write a jQuery or JavaScript function that will extract the full innerHTML from this div ie. the table content and then extract the table row information like the <label> or <input> tags.
Create your desired table structure with <table><tr><td>{extracted sections}</td><td></td></tr></table> or leave it to your requirement...
Then just append this new HTML structure in place of the original default structure.
In jQuery it will be like
$(".sqlrv-ParameterContainer").html();
which will give you the entire table structure that comes inside the parameter. Use XML parsing and get the input controls and all. Extract these controls as-is, don't change anything.
$(".sqlrv-ParameterContainer table").remove(); // it will remove the SSRS rendered default table from DOM
$(".sqlrv-ParameterContainer table").appendChild('<table><tr>......</tr></table>'); // Append your custom html structure here....
This was something that came to my mind quickly... I would suggest you test it... :)
This doesn't help the OP with SSRS-2008 but in case it helps others - Microsoft have improved this in SSRS 2016 - parameters can now be easily managed via the GUI in Report Builder / Visual studio:
