BACKGROUND

  • Am writing a WinForm app that uses the SSRS Report Viewer control to render reports in local mode - there is no SSRS server involved at all
  • I can successully create and execute reports in local mode
  • What I want to do is add Parameters to the report

THE PROBLEM

  • When the Report Viewer control executes a report in local mode it does not provide any UI that allows the user to enter values for parameters defined in the report
  • This is in contrast to to when the Report Viewer control is running a server report - parameters are shown.

MY QUESTION

  • Are there pre-built components or even sample code I can use that would provide a reasonble parameter user experience for this scenario (scenario = SSRS + Report Viewer Control + Local Mode)?
  • Yes, I could write this UI code myself - what I am looking for is existing code to avoid having to implement this UI because I'd rather spend my time making the content of the report work well

NOTES

  • Switching to another reporting engine besides SSRS is not an option.
  • Switching to server side reports is not an option.
