1st Question Asked!! 🙂
I have a Visual Studio 2010 project in which I have some RDLC report definitions. I have been asked to meet a requirement by where I reset the page # and total pages on a group break. I didn’t think this would be a big deal – well I was wrong. 🙂
I have found a way to reset the page number via code on the report but cannot seem to find a way to reset the total pages. ie: Page 1 of X, Page 2 of X … the ‘of X’ part is what I cannot seem to reset on the group breaks.
Anyway, through some more searching I found that this seems to be a supported feature in Reporting Services … see this link … http://sqlserverpedia.com/blog/sql-server-bloggers/group-level-page-numbering-using-reporting-services-2008-r2/
BUT, this is not available to me in my property page, through some more searching I found this property to be a part of the 2010/01 schema and onwards andNOT a part of the 2008/01 schema my project seems to be using.
So my real question … Is there a way to upgrade my RDLC report schema from the 2008/01 schema to the 2010/01 schema?
When you edit reports with BIDS 2008R2 the report schema will be updated automatically. If it’s not then you aren’t editing the reports with a 2008R2 tool. Install Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008R2 to your machine. It can be found on the SQL installation media.
Before doing this, make sure that the server to which these will be deployed is running SSRS 2008R2!
