  How to get web.config value in RDLC report ?

  Mar 12, 2007 08:08 AM|sanjev.sharma|LINK

  I am generating a rdlc report.

  Problem : In one of my text boxes on report i show "first name"  of customer, but if this field is empty then i want to show a value defined in my web.config file.

  Any clues how can i fetch a value from web.config file inside a rdlc report. and then conditionally assign it to that textbox .

  You need to pass the value as a parameter to the report.

  thanks for the reply

  i solved the problem by writing a function in code tab.

  You can write vb code in the code tab of report.. Report >> Report properties >>code..

  and that function can then be accessed the using code.functionName() 

  :)

  i am trying to do the same thing. can you provide a sample of how you assigned a value from the web.config into the report. Im having some trouble writing the code in the Report Code window.

  is it VBScript? or can i use C#?

  thanks,

  you have to write vb.net code ........with proper refrences to the namespaces used..

  for getting web.config values ..its same as u get on any other page(configurationsettings.appsettings......)

  write a function in code window and specify its return type as string (return web.config value from this function)

  now you can call this function from ur report and get that value....
