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 creates a linked report:
Imports System
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Class Sample
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim rs As New ReportingService2010()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Dim prop As New [Property]()
prop.Name = "Description"
prop.Value = "A new linked report"
Dim props(0) As [Property]
props(0) = prop
Try
rs.CreateLinkedItem("Employee Sales Report2", "/SampleReports", "/SampleReports/Employee Sales Summary", props)
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()
{
ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Property prop = new Property();
prop.Name = "Description";
prop.Value = "A new linked report";
Property[] props = new Property[1];
props[0] = prop;
try
{
rs.CreateLinkedItem("Employee Sales Report2", "/SampleReports",
"/SampleReports/Employee Sales Summary", props);
}
catch (SoapException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString());
}
}
}
Remarks
The table below shows header and permissions information on this operation.
SOAP Header Usage | (In) TrustedUserHeaderValue (Out) ServerInfoHeaderValue |
Native Mode Required Permissions | CreateReport on Parent AND ReadProperties on ItemPath |
SharePoint Mode Required Permissions | Not supported |
The length of the Parent
and Link
parameters cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.
The Parent
and Link
parameters cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . "
. You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name
A linked item has the same properties as a standard catalog item, but it does not contain its own item definition. A linked item cannot reference another linked item.
The creator of a linked item must have permission to read the definition of the item that the linked item references; however, this level of permission is not required to run a linked item.
Using the CreateLinkedItem method changes the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate properties of the parent folder.
