Reporting Web Service Error

[sds814]

I'm going through a web service SSRS tutorial in the SQL Server Tutorials. The error I'm getting is that the path is incorrect for the Company Sales Report.

Here is the C# code:

Property[] returnProperties = rs.GetProperties("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Reporting Services\Report Samples\AdventureWorks Sample reports\Company Sales", properties);

The error is:
Path of the item 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Reporting Services\Report Samples\AdventureWorks Sample reports\Company Sales' is not valid. The fill path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash.

Thanks for the help.

I think you need to escape your \'s in the directory.

"c:\\Folder\\Another Folder\\Yet another"

You can also prefix the string with @, to have it treated as a literal.

Hope this helps,

Alex
