Examples

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 GetDataSourceContents method to retrieve the data source definition of a shared data source and then displays the connection string and extension name as console output:

Imports System  
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols  

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

      Dim definition As DataSourceDefinition = Nothing  

      Try  
         definition = rs.GetDataSourceContents("/SampleReports/AdventureWorks")  
         Console.WriteLine("Connection String: {0}", definition.ConnectString)  
         Console.WriteLine("Extension name: {0}", definition.Extension)  

      Catch e As SoapException  
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString())  
      End Try  
   End Sub 'Main  
End Class 'Sample  

using System;  
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;  

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

      DataSourceDefinition definition = null;  

      try  
      {  
         definition = rs.GetDataSourceContents( "/SampleReports/AdventureWorks" );  
         Console.WriteLine( "Connection String: {0}", definition.ConnectString );  
         Console.WriteLine( "Extension name: {0}", definition.Extension );  
      }  

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