Reporting Services

Hi,

I have a question please somebody help me on this. As I was working on my report , done some changes and didn't save it. Got the following message after some time:

Deserialization is not a valid value.

then i am unable to open my report. What could have happend?

I have created some data sets for the report. Is there a way i could the data sets created for that report.

It looks like, I have to create a whole new report again.

Thanks

No, the dataset definitions for the report are contained within the rdl file. What you could possibly do is open the rdl file in an XML editor, extract the appropriate dataset nodes, and insert them into a new copy of the report that does not have the problem. It is up to you how to get that copy of the report that still works, ideally you should have it in a source repository and you can just revert (roll back) to a previous version.

Hi Milind,

It will be easy if you want to display reports(using SSRS) in your asp.net application which will take data from your oracle db. You can configure the reporting services supports various data sources(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159219.aspx#OracleClient)
