Display Barcodes in SSRS reports - sql-server

I have some Barcode data stored in a SQL Server table with the font Code39-Digit the barcodes are stored in the table as *12312313213*.
I am trying to create a report in SSRS with the barcodes (scanner readable).
I have tried the following two methods and got nowhere :( .
How to embed Barcodes in your SSRS report
.NET Barcode Generator/SDK for SSRS Tutorial
Method 1 does not support the Barcode font Code39-Digit.
Method 2 I managed to show Barcodes in the BIDS but when I deploy the report to a server it goes all pear shape. The barcode wont show at all on the Reports Manager.
I have made sure that my Reports Server has the Font installed. but no luck so far.
I am running out of options any suggestions or pointer in the right direction are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Inside the report, use any text controller (like TextBox for example).
set it's font property to "typereader":
textBox -> Properties -> font -> FontFamily - Typereader 39.
Make sure you got font 39 in your computer, and that's it.

We use NeoDynamic Barcode Professional It works well for what you are trying to do and offers other features.

IntegrationServicesCatalog doesn't allow to create SSISDB

I am trying to create ssisdb on sql 2017 instance, i have configured clr , but for some reason the option to create SSISDB is not showing. Please see attachment and help.enter image description here
Ive had similar issues with several kinds of MS products like SSIS or SSMS, the OK or other buttons not showing, also users couldnt see values or filters in Power BI etc.
In these cases it was a display issue. Try display it on a larger monitor, try changing screen resolution, or move the box further up or try and resize the box in which the buttons should be in.
I also had cases where I couldnt see any buttons but they were displaying when a colleague set it up on his computer, so maybe you could ask a colleague if he/she can see the buttons.

SSAS measure display folders do not show up

I'm developing a cube using the multidimensional model on the Sql Server 2014 Dev edition. Having quite a few measures in a single group I'm trying to organise them into display folders that doesn't work though for some reason. The defined display folders do not show up in any client - Visual Studio, SSMS, Excel, Power BI - you name it. Using VS I can see the defined folders in the properties window, on the translation tab, everywhere except the browser tab. And yes, the visibility attribute for the measures is set to True.
Please let me know if anybody came cross this and fixed.
As it turned out display folders will not appear unless you provide captions for the all added translations.

WPF SSRS report printing

We have an application built in WPF. For reports we are using the Winforms host to display and preview the report. There is a requirement to batch print the SSRS reports physically to a printer. i.e. On click of a button, it should print all the reports on a printer (default printer associated with the machine). The problem we face is that a print dialog appears when we try to print the report. We do not want the print dialog, just direct printing of SSRS report to the pinter.
How can this be accomplished?
First of all, sorry about my english.
Steps:
1. you can generate the SSRS report using C# (for example)
2. Instead of displaying a report on the screen, you can export it to PDF (in a temporary folder.)
3. Print this PDF File using a PrintDialog control (Allow you to disable the print dialog).
Probably you can disable the print dialog on the report viewer too but i don't know how.
hope it

SQL Server Reporting Services 2005, preview differs from deployed report

I created a Subreport in SSRS 2005 with a bar chart and a textbox above, just as a simple progress bar. I'll use it in a report to show a percentage.
In the Report preview it works fine and the progressbar looks like this:
Preview
But when I the deploy the report on the report server I get this:
Deployed Report
It's not really new to me, that sometimes the output in the preview differs from the server, but unfortunately I just can't find a solution for this issue.
Thx in advance
I think what you are seeing is a browser issue.
The default css that SSRS outputs is very biased towards IE. (It doesn't play well with IE9 either)
This causes a lot of issues on browsers like firefox and safari.
If you really must get it to display that way, remember that SSRS does allow you to create custom rendering extensions(Would be too much effort to fix a small bug though).

ReportViewer - LocalReport - Merge reports?

I'm using ReportViewer WinForms, and since it is no easy way to create an coversheet, then I wonder, is it possible to render two reports and have them concatenated?, so they appear as one report?
If I was to print only, then I could execute two reports after each other, but since the user want to see the report before printing (you know, no environment waste here) then they have to appear in the same viewer.
OR, is there other ways of creating coversheets?
Today I use an subreport, but there are some issues with margins etc. which is not easy to fix.
To clarify, we are talking about
ReportViewer using RDLC files, no
Crystal Reports involved.
Do you need to display the 2 reports as 1 in the reportViewer control or would having them both exported to PDF and showing a single PDF containing both reports be satisfactory?
I was looking for that but using the Web ReportViewer and found examples exporting the reports to several PDFs, then concatenating the PDFs into 1 using PDFtk (free)
Blog post about using PDFtk and Reporting Services
Multiple RDLC reports displayed at the same time

I've created a report that sounds like what you are attempting to do...first to clarify, I'm going to guess your using Crystal Reports within VS2005/2008.
If that's the case, all you need to do in the main report is create an additional section after your section that contains the "Cover Sheet" layout/data. In the section expert for the "Cover Sheet" section (in layout view, right click on section header bar, pick section expert in pop up menu..), check off the "New Page After" option.
Edit: After your update, I see you are using RDLC reports, and from my limited exposure to those, I can't recall an easy way to get to where you want to be. Though I'm pretty sure you may be able to pass multiple reports to the same report viewer in code.
