Report drilldown still a major issue - HotFix needed!

While testing the latest RC1 SRS software and trying to get report drill down
in a chart working, I found that it was not working as expected. I thought
that this might be a Dundas issue, but has since learned that this is a MS
issue.
I understand that MS is aware of this and I strongly believe that this needs
to be fixed via HotFix rather than waiting until release time or later. We
are working towards a Spring 2006 release of our software and report
drilldown is one of the most important elements of our application.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks!
KeithThis sound like you need a fix. I would contact Microsoft Product Support
Services. If it is indeed a fix and not user error, all fees are refunded.
If you specific details on what the bug is, I can look it up and see if it
is fixed if it is something we know about.

Report Designer Installation

We already have the Report Server installed. However, I am trying to find the software that needs to be installed on the client (development) machine that has VS.NET 2003. I have been searching the web but in vain?.

Does it come only as a part of the server version. Or Is there a Report Designer add-in available for VS.NET 2003 that could be downloaded seperately.

Sathya

what are you trying to do ?

all you would need to develop reports using RS is VS.NET. You would however need IIS,SQL Server to deploy them.

Well but were do you get or download the add-in to setup the Report Designer in VS.NET 2003 (development machine). I dont think, the report designer gets installed by default when VS.NET 2003 is installed.

Report Designer Client software

I've loaded the Report Services from Microsoft unto our server. How do I get the Client Designer tool loaded on other boxes. Does anyone know where the Install is to install the report designer into a Client machine?

Thanks
AlFound the answer already - You run the Report Services Install disk and disable the report services part of the install and only install the report designer.. dah.. Anyway it took me about a half hour to remember that SQL makes you run through the SQL Server install disk to load just the client. That was my clue to install the Designer portion of the software.

Thanks anyway.

Report Definition Language

Using VS 2005, I have created a piece of software that creates an RDL file using XML. However, although my data (though a DataView control) is showing as it should, and I can update this to create new data, I cannot get the RDL to display a variable which I change and use as a 'header text' to the report. The variable is shown the first time I display the RDL through a ReportViewer Control but remains static thereafter. The interesting thing is that when I view the XML through a third-party viewer, it shows the correct value stored in the variable.

For information, I am using a child form in a MDI to create the data that is fed into another child form that contains the ReportViewer. The MDI has been programmed so that the child forms are not closed and disposed of, but are hidden from view.

Has anyone any initial ideas of what I could do to flush or clear the RDL or any other relevant object?

Are you viewing the RDL in the report designer when this happens? Report Designer has a functionality to cache the data in preview (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157366.aspx). You should be able to click on the refresh button to get new data.
