List SSRS2005 items on treeview

Hi all,

I'm creating a Custom web interface for SQL Server reporting services 2005.

What I want to do is populate a "Navigation Treeview" component in asp.net 2. How would I get all the catalog items and items from the web API and populate my treeview?

Thanks

Hi Rudi,

You could use the SOAP API - ListChildren. Here is a link to defintion and code sample:

Hi there Brad,

Thanks alot! I'm still having some trouble though...

I'm using this code to get the list:

Try

Dim P As New ReportingService

Dim RootList As CatalogItem = P.ListChildren("/", True)

LoadTree(RootList)

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

But this is returning the error:

\\Reportserver\NetReports\Admin\Default.aspx(1): Build (web): \\Reportserver\NetReports\MasterPage.master.vb(36): error BC30311: Value of type '1-dimensional array of ReportService.CatalogItem' cannot be converted to 'ReportService.CatalogItem'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Don't worry, I got it....

I didn't add the () in

Dim RootList As CatalogItem() = rs.ListChildren("/", True)

Thanks

|||Any chance you could provide the code used for LoadTree? I'm stuck trying to figure out how to programmatically build the nodes from the CatalogItem.

Thanks,
Kel

Linux user: creating databases

Hi all.
I just installed MSSQL 2005 Express but I can′t find a sql client I can use to create databases.
Do I have to download it or it′s placed somewhere on my HD?
The only tools I see are placed at Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Serve 2005 > Configuration Tools
Sorry about the dump question. I come from a linux background and everything seems to be different!
Cheers.
The download for the Express Edition does not include a GUI tool for managing the database. We have posted a pre-release version of the free management GUI tool - Management Studio Express Edition on the web for download. You can get it at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=82afbd59-57a4-455e-a2d6-1d4c98d40f6e&DisplayLang=en.

You can also download the documentation for Express at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9697aaaa-ad4b-416e-87a4-a8b154f92787&DisplayLang=en.

Out-of-the-box Express includes a command line tool SQLCMD for working with the installation (creating databases, creating tables, etc.) You can read more about it in the documentation.

Good luck.

Dan|||Hi Dan. Thanks for your quick reply!
In the meanwhile I downloaded the trial version (~900mb, outch!!).
How do I import ddl files into a database (trial version)?
Can I do it using theManagement Studio Express Edition too?
Cheers!
