Reporting Services Web Service Programming

[Guest]

I have been looking high and low and can't seem to find anything a little
more detailed on the whole RS utility.

What I'm looking for specifically is some type of programming reference.
Also, I created a new VB project in VS2005, but yet when I write any code,
Intellisense doesn't pick up anything.

What reference/class do I need to add to the projuect? I've been looking
through the available references under PROJECT>ADD REFERENCE and don't see
anything remotely related to the RS utility/scripting.

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean the Visual Studio Reporting Services? Or is there something
specifically for web services?

I know there's at least 1 book specifically about this topic. I think it's
the same Reporting Services that's built into SQLServer.

There are some examples in Tim Patrick's Start-to-Finish VB2005 book, too.

There exists the Reporting Services Web Service.

You use Visual Basic .Net to create scripts that you cxan run using the RS
commandline utility.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to find the right reference/class/etc. that
I have to include in my VB project in order for Intellisense to work. For
example, when I enter rs. in my script, I should get a list of the
objects/methods associated with the Reporting Services class.

For instance, this code snippet:

' Retrieve a list of all items from the report server database.
Try
items = rs.ListChildren("/", True)

When entering this code, Intellisense should give me a list of methods after
the rs. - it doesn't. What am I missing? What reference do I need to add to
my project?

In my WinForms app, I have references to Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common and
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms. Does that help at all? You could try
searching the Object Browser for "report" and see what you get. That's how
I figure out what namespace I need.

Good luck.
