How to set user defined(Custom) data source for SSRS report using web service?

Hi Friends,

I'm using the Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.ReportingService2005() to upload reports on a reporting server programmatically. This works quite fine.

What I'm not able to figure out is how to set a user defined data source in the report programmatically. I don't want to use a shared data source which is created on the server. I'd rather have each report carry it's own data source information.

Currently I'm using the CreateReport(reportName, folderName, true, definition, null) method, which accepts a property parameter (the fifth one, which is null in my case).

Can I possibly use this parameter for my purpose? Unfortunately I couldn't find any specific information about that.

Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Srinivas,

Have a look at a codeproject knowledge base article here that will get you started.

Also look then at what Microsoft have to say.

From what I understand you need to create your own Data Processing Extension to extend your report server, that will allow you to set your datasource in c#

Hope this helps
