Grouping in List Control

Hi,

I am new with RS2000. I am working on a Reporting application. I have some Application names on X-axis of a bar chart say they are 90 in number. I want to group this chart in a list control in such a way that in each portion the chart must contain 15 application names if suppose there are 90 application names.

Add a (detail) group to the list with the following grouping expression:

=Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/15)

This should result in the desired grouping of 15 items per (repeating) list instance. Then just put the chart inside the list.

Group Filter Not Working

I'm developing a simple client application, using local reports populated from a local dataset, which is in turn saved and read from xml.
I am trying to set up a VERY simple group filter expression and I'm running into problems. What I want to do is display all rows where a date column matches a parameter passed to the report. I'm setting the filter up using something like this:
Expression Operator Value
=Fields!SampleDate = =Parameters!DateParam
I keep getting the following error:

Processing Errors
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value
OK

I know I'm probably doing something wrong. The only filter that I could get to not give the error is 1=1. LOL. Please help!You may want to try this approach:

Filter expression:
=(Fields!SampleDate.Value = Parameters!DateParam.Value)

Operator:
=

Filter Value:
=True

Group By Question

I am writing a very simple polling application and I am trying to return the
results in which it will count the number of responses for a given survey.
What I wrote was:
SELECT SurveyChoice.Choice, Count(SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID) AS Quantity
FROM SurveyVote RIGHT JOIN SurveyChoice ON SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID =
SurveyChoice.PK_SurveyChoiceID
GROUP BY SurveyChoice.Choice;
This is good because it returns Choices even if they were not used (i.e.,
nobody voted for a particular option and the Quantity is returned as 0).
But if I add the following, I lose all of the Quantity=0 records.
HAVING SurveyVote.FK_SurveyID=1
Is there a way to have both?

HAVING (SurveyVote.FK_SurveyID=1 OR COUNT(SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID)=0)

I am a little bit . The column FK_SurveyID is not in the select
list, neither in the group by clause, I wonder why sql server is not giving
an error?
If you want to filter the rows using WHERE clause, then you can use "GROUP
BY ALL SurveyChoice.Choice" to see all groups even the ones with no row that
meet the filter.
SELECT
SurveyChoice.Choice,
Count(SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID) AS Quantity
FROM
SurveyVote
RIGHT JOIN
SurveyChoice
ON SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID = SurveyChoice.PK_SurveyChoiceID
where
SurveyVote.FK_SurveyID = 1
GROUP BY
SurveyChoice.Choice;

Hi Dave,
In addition to the answers by Aaron and Alejandro, I *think* the
following will work as well. They are untested, though, since you didn't
provide CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements to create a test set.
1. Using LEFT JOIN instead of RIGHT JOIN
SELECT SurveyChoice.Choice,
Count(SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID) AS Quantity
FROM SurveyChoice
LEFT JOIN SurveyVote
ON SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID = SurveyChoice.PK_SurveyChoiceID
AND SurveyVote.FK_SurveyID = 1
GROUP BY SurveyChoice.Choice
2. Using subselect instead of join
SELECT SurveyChoice.Choice,
(SELECT Count(SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID)
FROM SurveyVote
WHERE SurveyVote.FK_SurveyChoiceID =
SurveyChoice.PK_SurveyChoiceID
AND SurveyVote.FK_SurveyID = 1) AS Quantity
FROM SurveyChoice
Best, Hugo

GridView, XML, and .NET 2005 Application

Hello, I'm in the processing of learning .NET 2005 and an trying to rewrite
a simple command line application that I wrote a couple years ago. I have
the following requirements:
1) Read an XML file that I create with a list of .EXE and .DLL files.
2) Scan a directory based on the path stored within the XML file and extract
the production version information
3) Add the Path, Filename and version information to a GridView control.
Now I have item #3 working today which displays output to screen using
console.write.
Question 1:
How can I add headers to a datagrid and update with my own information based
on me scanning a directory?
Question 2:
My application today reads the file path information, etc., from SQL Server
and then scans the directory for the version information. I would like to
instead use an XML file to contain this information instead of SQL Server.
This way I can use ClickOnce easily deploy my application without having a
SQL Server requirement. Most of my updates will be done to the XML file
only, so I would simply like to republish my ClickOnce to have user
redownload new XML file.
What is the best way for me to create an XML file of my data that can be
maintained? I have columsn such as:
1) Filename
2) Path of file
3) Description
4) Shortname of file
Each row within the XML will be unique. I need a way that I can easily
update/create this file. I currently have about 200 rows in SQL that I need
to get into my XML file. I really do not want to retype all the
information, but I can if I have to.
Any help or direction with this would be appreciated.
You can save a DataSet as XML.
And something else you might want to think about. If the data displayed is
static, not requiring any user interaction, you might want to think about
optimizing your app by using an XSL transform to create the data in HTML in
the page, rather than a DataGrid. You can create an XSL style sheet, and use
an Xml WebControl to display it in any format you choose (as HTML).

I'm trying to do away with using SQL Server. If I use the SaveToXML option
of ADO.NET, is the XML file the is created something that can easily be
maintained going forward? I guess I cannot control the output or format of
the XML file, so that is why I'm thinking it may not be what I want.
Opinions?
