I'm trying to set a parameter on a report im calling in asp.net but I keep getting, can anyone help me with this ? it driving me nuts.
"System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter[]' to type
'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter]'."
1 is the value I'm trying to load but I get the same error each time.
Dim Param1 As New ReportParameter
Param1.Name = "person"
Param1.Values.Add(1)
ReportViewer4.ServerReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {Param1})
If you want to pass custom parameters to ReportViewer with RDLC, you’d better use below code pass the parameter, instead of “ReportViewer4.ServerReport” which is for reports sitting at SQL.
About the error message, as I searched shows that the “SetParameters()” accepts an array of ReportParameter objects, not a single object. It asks us to create an array that contains one element and set that element to your instance of ReportParameter. But,
your above code seems right, you'd better double check where causes this error and whether this error is caused by above code.
I guess maybe the issue is caused by “Param1.Values.Add(1)”. According to below link that’s about the ReportParameter.Values Property could not be directly passed value. You’d better try using “ReportParameter
Constructor (String, String)” to instantiates a new ReportParameter with a name and a value. The value should be string, not a numeric value.
Dim Param1 As New ReportParameter Param1.Name = "person" Param1.Values.Add(1) ReportViewer4.ServerReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {Param1})
I think you use wrong report parameter. you used window form type report parameter .
Try to web form Report Parameter.
Dim Param1 As New ReportParameter
Param1.Name = "person"
Param1.Values.Add(1)
ReportViewer4.ServerReport.SetParameters(New Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter() {Param1})

Hi kclarke,
If you want to pass custom parameters to ReportViewer with RDLC, you’d better use below code pass the parameter, instead of “ReportViewer4.ServerReport” which is for reports sitting at SQL.
ReportViewer4.LocalReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {Param1})For more things, you could have a look at below links that provide related information for this situation.

I tried that but it says "value of type reportparameter cannot be converted to reportparameter"

Hi Kclarke,
Below code snippet is working for me:
Rpt.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("...."); Rpt.ServerReport.ReportPath = "......"; ReportParameter[] parameters = new ReportParameter[5]; parameters[0] = new ReportParameter("param1", param1); parameters[1] = new ReportParameter("param2", param2); parameters[2] = new ReportParameter("param3", param3); parameters[3] = new ReportParameter("param4", param4); parameters[4] = new ReportParameter("param5", param5); Rpt.ServerReport.SetParameters(parameters); Rpt.ServerReport.Refresh();Banketeshvar Narayan
