Hi,

I created a Reporting Services report that uses a custom data processing extension that allows for a .NET ADO.dataset to be passed to the report as its data source. I am using SOAP and the Render method to render this report in a PDF format from a .NET Windows form. It works fine, except the report doesn't have any of its formatting. In other words, all you see is the raw numbers; the formats that I have in the RS report are not being used. However, if I go to the Report Manager and run the report it works correctly and is properly formatted. Does anyone know what would cause this. The code I'm using to render the report from a Windows form is posted below. Thanks.

        Dim rs As New devsrvReportserver.ReportingService  'Reporting Service web service
       
        rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
        rs.Url = "http://devsrv/ReportServer/reportservice.asmx"

        Dim paramValue(2) As devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        Dim paramValue2 As New devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        Dim paramValue3 As New devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        paramValue(0) = New devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        paramValue(0).Name = "DataSource"
        paramValue(1) = New devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        paramValue(1).Name = "beginDate"
        paramValue(2) = New devsrvReportserver.ParameterValue
        paramValue(2).Name = "endDate"
        paramValue(0).Value = ds.GetXml 'this is the dataset
        paramValue(1).Value = Me.LblBeg.Text 'beginning date
        paramValue(2).Value = Me.LblEnd.Text 'ending date

        Dim warnings() As TFM.devsrvReportserver.Warning
        Dim streams() As String
        Dim mimetype As String = "application/pdf"
        Dim encoding As String
        Dim type As String = "PDF"
        Dim ext As String = "pdf"
        'rs.GetReportDefinition("/xmlReport2/abcSalesReport")
        Dim result As Byte() = rs.Render("/xmlReport2/abcSalesReport", type, Nothing, "", paramValue, Nothing, Nothing, encoding,        mimetype, Nothing, warnings, streams)
      
        Try
            Dim stream As FileStream = File.Create("report." & ext, result.Length)
            stream.Write(result, 0, result.Length)
            stream.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
        Process.Start("report." & ext)
