Can I dynamically change the width of objects?

I have a problem using the table object. I have columns that I sometimes want to show, and I want the page to run off the edge and be two pages. However, usually I'm hiding many of the columns and the table "shrinks" enough to fit on one page. When this happens, the table looks right on the first page, but I get blank pages after it, because the report itself will not shrink.
Is there a way to dynamically change the size of the table and report so that it doesn't print blank pages if it doesn't need to?
Thanks,
John
Unfortunately, there is no way to shrink the body size of the report. This is under consideration for a future release.|||

We had same situation where user would select few columns out of some possible 50 data columns.

We ended with doing some logic programmatically.

1) GetReportDefinition() of report containing 50 columns

2) As rdl from #1 is XML, we manipluate the xml by deleting the unselected columns and reordering them as per selected display order

3) publish the new report with unique name to a temp folder in reporing server

4) Now generate the report

5) then delete the report from temp folder

We have the same issue with a client where a dense grid in 12.5 in body with borders it is 13in. The client uses IE6.

I read that IE7 supports Shrink-to-fit. Would that work with SSRS reports pending the Shrink-to-fit functionality printing in SSRS?

Thanks

Can connect to sqlexpress via asp.net but not via asp

I can connect to a sqlexpress database using aspx (asp.net 2.0) pages
but not via classic asp pages. Both the asp and aspx pages are within
the same website. The sqlexpress database is also on the same server.
I have tried using a variety of connection strings within my asp pages,
including dsn, dsn-less, windows authentication, sql authentication
etc. (The sql express database by the way has mixed authenatication and
both work fine)
The errors I am getting are the following:
1. When I put a windows authentication string in my asp
page I get this error:
************
Provider error '80040e21'
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check
each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
?, line 0
***************
2. When I use a sql authenticaion string, I get this
error:
********************
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not
found and no default driver specified
?, line 0
**********************
3. When I use a DSN connection string (with the DSN
connecting successfully within the ODBC utility) I get
this error:
******************
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot
open database "xxxx" requested by the login. The login
failed.
?, line 0
***********************
As mentioned before I have no problems in connecting to
the database via aspx pages within the same website. I can also
successfully connect to the database via visual web developer or sql
express manager on the same machine.
Any ideas?
Sorry, solved this!

Can ASP.net 2.0 be connected with SQL Server 2000?

using vs2005 to build web pages of asp.net 2.0, The database is SQL Server 2000,.But I always fail to connect.

using the following configuration in web.config:

<appSettings>
<add key="DSN_student" value="server=(local);uid=admin;pwd=123456;database=network_course"/>
</appSettings>

I also failed to connect using the following configuration in web.config:

<add name="network_courseConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=network_course;User ID=admin;Password=123456;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I am a beginner from China and eager to get answers! Thank you!

Can you post the error you got and the code?

Regards

|||To answer your question, yes. You can use VS2005 with SQL Server 2000. Looking at your second connection string seems like it should work. You might add "Integrated Security=false" in the connect string attributes, but I believe that is the default.
