Are SQL Reporting Services Report Parameters deprecated in VS.NET 2010?

Question

We use an Reporting Services inside an ASP.NET web application. (We have an *.rdlc which is presented to the ReportViewer web control in our page). Our ASPX page wires up a few report parameters in code:

var parameters = new List<ReportParameter>();
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("StoreAddress", InvoiceStoreAddress));
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("LogoURL", InvoiceLogoURL));
parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("StoreName", InvoiceStoreName));
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(parameters);

These are just general parameters that are passed to the report, instead of hooking it up to a data source.

Recently, we upgraded to VS.NET 2010. We upgraded the *.rdlc to the newest version and also upgraded the ReportViewer control used by ASP.NET. Everything works as it did before.

However, I now want to add a new report parameter to my *.rdlc. I typically right-clicked on the top left corner and clicked on "Report Parameters" to add it. With the new VS.NET, I cannot find this option anywhere - it is not even in the report properties.

Where did it go? Are they deprecating this feature? How should I be passing some general parameters now?

Answer 1

the "View->Report Data" menu opens a tool window that contains the report parameters.

Answer 2

Did you get an answer that works (I don't understand the reply above).

I've been struggling with this for hours and CANNOT see how to add a parameter into a .rdlc report on a web page.

Seems simple but somehow eludes me.

Answer 3

Thank-you very much indeed, I'm clued up now. What an obscure place to hide this option - what were they thinking ?
