Example

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example uses the GetReportDefinition method to retrieve the definition of a report and store it as an XML document in the local file system:

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols

Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim rs As New ReportingService2005
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

      Dim reportName As String = "/SampleReports/Company Sales"
      Dim reportDefinition As Byte() = Nothing
      Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument

      Try
         reportDefinition = rs.GetReportDefinition(reportName)
         Dim stream As New MemoryStream(reportDefinition)

         doc.Load(stream)
         doc.Save("C:\Company Sales.rdl")

      Catch e As SoapException
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString())

      Catch e As IOException
         Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
      End Try
   End Sub 'Main
End Class 'Sample
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

class Sample
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

      string reportName = "/SampleReports/Company Sales";
      byte[] reportDefinition = null;
      System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();

      try
      {
         reportDefinition = rs.GetReportDefinition(reportName);
         MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(reportDefinition);

         doc.Load(stream);
         doc.Save(@"C:\Company Sales.rdl");
      }

      catch (SoapException e)
      {
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString()); 
      }

      catch (IOException e)
      {
         Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
      }
   }
}
