We have an application in VB6 where reports are created with Crystal Reports 8.5
We want to migrate the reports to SSRS, but the app will remain in VB6 for some time.
I have searched a way to print e report in SSRS from vb6 with no luch.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Export report output to Pdf format then print the pfd output using vb6.
This link will export ssrs report output to the pdf format using

I need to export SSRS Reports, found this , however when using it on 2008 R2 Server, get the following error:
The path of the item 'WSDL' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply.If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with a slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
I think this originates in changes made to the WSDL after 2008 R2.
Are there any tools that can be used to export reports located on 2008 R2?
(I can´t open the reports in report viewer and save them)
Thank you :)
There is an easier way to download all reports with the ReportingServicesTools cmdlet.
Check out this post: Download all SSRS reports
If someone has a similar issue, when viewing a reports properties, there is an option to edit it. This will start a download. I did not find any other options, this is tideous, however it downloads them at least
What is the difference between RDL and RDLC for SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) reports?
I am working on SSRS reports for SQL Server 2014 on behalf of RDL. When I try to create RDL reports in SSRS it is storing in RDLC. Can you tell me the procedure to produce RDL reports please?
RDL files are report files that are designed to be used with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), and stored in the Report Server and executed from there. You can use a Report Viewer control in your projects to access these reports.
RDLC files are 'local reports' that are created in Visual Studio, retained locally and not stored on an SSRS server. They can also be used with the Report Viewer control, but don't need SQL Server Reporting Services to execute.
RDL files and RDLC files may have similar XML schemas but are not necessarily the same, depending on the versions of SQL Server and Visual Studio you are working with.
To create RDL files when you are using SQL Server 2014 as in your situation, you need to user SQL Server Data Tools and create a New Project. From the Business Intelligence templates, choose a 'Reporting Services' project, and from there you can create your reports.
I think the problem you're getting is you're making a Visual Studio project (like a C# project) and creating a new item of type Report. This would be a local report (RDLC) and not the kind you are after when using SSRS.
RDL files are created by the SQL Server 2005 version of Report Designer. RDLC files are created by the Visual Studio 2008 version of Report Designer. RDL and RDLC formats have the same XML schema. ... By manually binding data, RDL files can be used in the ReportViewer control.
I was wondering if there is any option to generate reports in sql management studio automatically in pdf format. I know it is possible to do it manually by left-clicking in the report and then Export -> Pdf what what need is to set a time that the report is generated in pdf format and stored somewhere automatically.
Have you looked into Subscriptions?

Hey im trying to get my head around the following , what is the difference between Report Builder in SQL Server and Reporting Services in VS ?
They seem to have both different wizard design screens i.e. one built into SQL Server the other one you can build in Visual Studio....do they both have the same end results etc ?
Thanks in advance
Report Builder is an end-user tool while the BI tools in Visual Studio are for the developer and can utilize the full capabilities of SSRS.
No, they don't have the same results. You can do vastly more with Visual Studio. Builder is primarily for very basic reports, though a user can get somewhat creative, but it's nowhere near the full capabilities that BI in VS unleashes.
In one of the ASP .Net site we are currently working we have a bulk load of SSRS reports. We have forms authentication for the site and reports have already been created and deployed in the report server. We are having so many problems with authentication when we set the report viewer control to access the server report.
I just want to know what are the advantages or disadvantages of using Local report vs Server Report
Thanks,
Raja
1- client report don't need to report server for rendering. (advantage)
2- you must make a server report by creating a report server project in BIDS but client reports must create in VS.
3- server reports use stored procedure or text script as data provider but client reports use dataset or xml datasource for this.
4- server reports use report server for rendering of the report but for client reports this work done at report viewer control.
5- client reports don't need SSRS installation but server reports need that.
6- for working with server reports you must deploy reports but in client reports you don't need this work.
7- for enterprise projects, it is better that you use server report but in other projects client reports are better.
