Passing Parameters to RDLC

To pass parameters to rdlc write down below code to the code behind

ReportDataSource rds = new ReportDataSource("UnitPerformanceDataSet_sp_RptUnitPerformance", ds.Tables[0]);
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();


ReportParameter p1 = new ReportParameter("Showdt", "Date : " + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
ReportParameter p2 = new ReportParameter("FromDt", "From : Year  " + Session["FromYear"].ToString() + "      Week No. " + Session["FromWeek"].ToString());
ReportParameter p3 = new ReportParameter("ToDt", "To : Year  " + Session["ToYear"].ToString() + "  Week No. " + Session["ToWeek"].ToString());
ReportParameter p4 = new ReportParameter("Zone", "Zone : " + Session["Zone"].ToString());
ReportParameter p5 = new ReportParameter("Unit", "Unit Name : " + Session["Unit"].ToString());


this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter[]{p1,p2,p3,p4,p5});


ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rds);
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();
Now add parameters to rdlc.Open RDLC --> Click Report Menu
    

In VS-2008 You ll get Report Parameters option from here.







 But in VS-10 u wont get it here.U have to open ReportData tab --> Select Parameter --> Click New

A window ll popup, here u add parameters one by one which is defined in code behind.
Now DragNDrop a textbox from ReportItems --> Right Click --> Click Expression
Write down this code snippet in blank area after "=" and click ok.

Now browse and see the results.

You can Download Sample Code from Here

  1. Nice article.
    But when I am passing startDate as a parameter, it gives me an error message:

    Error 1 The Value expression for the text box ‘Textbox27’ refers to a non-existing report parameter ‘startDate’.

    1. This Error means that you have forgot to add the "startDate" parameter in rdlc..
      Open rdlc-->In menu bar look for "Report" option-->click on report parameter -->a new window open-->look for the "Add" button-->As u click on "Add" Button in right hand sides proprties options enabled -->In "Name" and "Prompt" textboxes write the name of your parameter like in your case it will be "startDate"--->click ok

  6. Hi Anukana, I followed your tutorial and this is what I am doing.

    private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    ReportViewer reportViewer1 = new ReportViewer();
    reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "AddressLabelReport.rdlc";
    reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
    reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter[] { new ReportParameter ("myparam1", "my value1", false), new ReportParameter("myparam2", "my value2", false) });
    reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
    }

    The plan is to load the report after a button is clicked. But I am getting a "LocalProcessingException" when trying to set parameters in 2nd last line. Do you see anything wrong here, plz?? Thanks for the article.

  7. Dear Sanjay,
    If u want to load the report on button click then make reportviewer visible false on by default and set visibility true on button click.
    And in above code u haven't declared report data source.

  8. only one line we should do it..

    this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter[] { new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Report_Parameter_0", allnetwttotal.ToString()), new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Report_Parameter_1", QMModule.tb_FromDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")), new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Report_Parameter_2", QMModule.tb_ToDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) });

    2. 1.) Please checked parameters name whatever you have passed is that correct in ReportFile(.rdlc)..

      2.) If above case is well then checked your parameters data, if may be come as NULL or Blank then In reports file(.rdlc) you have to allow those permeates As Blank And NULL..
