Question

I want to change the “loading…” Message while report is loading say “Report is loading, Please Wait This will take few seconds…” like. Any way to change this?.

Note: I am not using any ASP.NET Application. I need this to be done in SSRS.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

The other way I did this in ASP.NET Application is Implementing the IReportViewerMessages.

Changing the ProgressText Property

string IReportViewerMessages.ProgressText
        {
            get
            {
                return ("Please Wait... This will take some time");
            }
        }

Other properties are Just Returning null. That inturn takes the base values explained in the link below.

string IReportViewerMessages.BackButtonToolTip
        {
            get { return null; }
        }

Edit web.config and add Appsetting Tag

<appSettings>
    <add key="ReportViewerMessages" value="MyNamespace.MyRVMessageClass, MyAssembly" />
</appSettings>

the below link is helpful in how to do this and explains what it is.

Still looking ahead how to do it in BIDS SSRS.
