TreeView menu structure ? 2

[Recce]

Good day,

Can anyone tel me if it is possible to create a TreeView menu strucure within Reporting Services so that it works similiar to one that you would create in an Web page ?

It is impossible. You would have to create a web page to make your parameter selections and either host a report viewer control within the web page, or link over to SSRS Report Manager with the parameters passed in through the querystring.

I thought that was going to be your reply ... Not too sure how to go about the parameter part but, I have worked with the Report Viewer Control in the past. I'll see if I can find an example of the parameter part and query string on the web...

Thanks RiverGuy

Think of SSRS & the reportviewer control as being a component of ASP.NET rather than a stand alone entity

SSRS is good but IMO very limiting in its vanilla state. It only really starts to compete with other BI apps when you introduce the ability to embedd it in ASP.NET apps

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Thanks xlbo,

Yes, I agree, that is my experience as well with SSRS but, it still creates awesome reports. Can't help it but, I'm a Microsoft fan...Yes,yes, I know

Don't get me wrong - there is a lot to like about SSRS but it only really takes off imo when used in conjunction with .NET development. Same could be said for most of the MS Database/BI stack tbh - it's all heavily customisable using .NET - either within the app or wrapped around it so I believe you would struggle to get the most out of it without having either .NET experience or access to .NET dev resource
