RS Utility- preserve folder structure and deploy RDSs

I am trying to figure out the RS command line utility. How do I
create/preserve a folder structure for organizing my reports, and how do I
deploy RDSs with this utility. Also, the sample script just shows how to
create data sources, not deploy the ones I have already created.

JasonThe RS.exe simply packages the SOAP API. So if you have an .RDS file,
you'll need to write parsing logic in your script to read the contents of it
and supply them to the CreateDataSource method.
BTW - there is no way to push a .rds file to the server; it's a file that is
used by the report designer while you're designing reports.

RS Reports Application

Hello,
I am finally done installing the RS and started creating reports.
Thanks to many people in this group, i read a lot of info to figure
out stuff.
I have a new problem now.
My client doesnt not want a Web interface like what the RS provides.
infact they dont want anything to do with browser(paranoid folks)
They want some kind of installable application/dll which will have
forms in it take the inputs and send those to the RS and get the
reports in that application. May sound wierd but thats what they want.
Has anyone every done anything like that ? if yes can you please give
me some ideas how to go about it ?
Some kind of VB or C# app or sthg like that ?
Thanks
BofoNot sure if you will be able to wait or not, but Sql 2005 will contain
report controls that do just that. You can just drop the control on your C#
form and away you go. If you can't wait for that you will want to look into
using the emf renderer to get pages that you can then draw to the screen.
Of course doing it this way will not get you any interactivity in the
reports.

> Bofo|||Hi
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for , just use the report
viewer control that should be in your samples application(.C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\Samples\Applications\ReportViewer) Just open the solution vb or C#
and then build the project/sln and then and then add it to your toolbox by
locating the reportviewer dll from your bin folder of the report viewer
application.
The RV control takes report path and the report server url with few other
params/properties you can define.
Good luck.

RS Documentation

Hello,
I'm pretty new to Reporting services, and now I've gone through the
tutorials, and would like to figure out the best place to go for
documentation I can use for specifics, like a language reference. I have the
books on line, but they come up with the BOL for Visual Studio, so I can't
figure out how to search only the RS books online. What do people use for
searching specific RS topics?> Hello,

Google Groups and www.sqlreportingservices.net are both excellent resources
for research. You can access Books Online from the start menu via All programs
/ Microsoft SQL Server / Reporting Services / Documentation.

start menu, but it opens up with my MSDN library / visual studio .NET 2003
books online. Can I open it alone or filter for only reporting services
topics? When I search for anything, I get all of the matches for the whole
visual studio collection.
Is there a way to find a list of all functions available in the Expression
window?
