Currently I Have my parameters shown on the right side of web part as the snapshot shows.
However, I need to move the parameters filter to the top of webpart. Also, it should be still within the webpart. How could I make this?
You can't do it with the existing Web part. If you need parameters in a different spot, you'll need to create a custom Web part.

My clients have upwards of 40 reports with very similar parameters. These are hosted on SharePoint, but are consumed by users through a web application, and so when a report is selected and the parameters are shown, the report's title is lost. My clients are irritated that they don't know, from the parameters page, which report is being displayed (many have very similar names and they are selected from a grid, and so mis-clicking is an issue)
Is there some trick to showing the report title on the parameters page?
Thanks

I will suggest to add an additional parameter and show the report name in that.
Some points to highlight in your question.
First, I don't know any trick for showing the title in the parameter pane, as a matter of fact, I don't believe it does exist. Showing it as a parameter is something that I wouldn't do as a solution for a customer.
Second, not showing the little line with the report's path is something that can be chosen when invoking the report (by means of url, see links below) and if they are accessing through another web application, this should be the one taking care of this matter. Note that if you show the url or the little line with the path, you can compromise security (access will depend on folders setup, but you leave a door open). This web application should know what is it showing and should display the right name (any the actual report's name or a custom name within the web app). This is what happens when you embed SSRS reports using a browser in an external app.
Third, the report itself should have a title displayed once the report is executed.
As a summary, I don't believe this issue's solution is under SSRS management/development scope.

As you can see, there are lots of things that you can do playing around with the url, such as:
Pass parameters
Hide path pane
Hide parameters pane
Render format, you can call an url asking for an excel or pdf render and you get the download dialog for the file.
Hope this helps.
I created a view with a background of a specific color, I just want the color out in that view and not in the other views of the application. However when I add it to MeanUser.aggregateAsset ('css', 'signin.css'), I always get global in the "modules / aggregated.css" therefore all views take that background. Then how to aggregate a css file only for the current view and not for all application?
Any help?
Not sure that can be done right now.
I guess it needs to live not within teh aggregation as another conditionally loaded resource.
I'll check it with other team members.

I am currently working on a GWT application that requires report
printing. The use can select report parameters from a screen, and
upon clicking print we would like to display the file as it is being
generated. Currently we have server side code that is generating HTML
and writing it to a file. When the user clicks print, an RPC is being
made to pass the report parameters to the server and begin the
report. A second RPC is made after the report has started to obtain
the report's URL. From here, we are creating a Frame and setting the
URL to be the URL retrieved by the second RPC.
The issue I am running into, is that when setUrl gets
called, it only displays as much HTML that was contained in the file
at the time of the call. What would be the best way to refresh just
the frame containing the HTML report? It appears making subsequent
calls to setUrl passing in the same Url each time would do the trick,
but it actually doesn't seem to contain the additional content that
would've been written since the last call. It is also resetting the
vertical scroll bar's position each time back to the top of the bar
which is something else I would like to prevent.
Is there a better way to go about doing this?
I think it would be better to request HTML in chunks from GWT and render them as they arrive. Doing this with ajax instead of wholesale refreshes will enable better behavior with the scrollbar, eliminate flashing, get around caching problems, and will also let you add some feedback like a progress bar, estimated time remaining, etc.
There's a lot more infrastructure required for this, but your suggested solution doesn't seem quite appropriate for the task.
I have a report in reporting services which I designed by creating rectangles for each page. I then put all of the controls for displaying that report in the page in that rectangle. I've done this because I created my own "headers" and "footers" instead of using the built in header and footer functionality because I needed to put information in the header that is related to data in the attached dataset, which you can't do in their built in headers.
The problem I have is when I need to "insert" a new page into the middle of the document, there doesn't seem to be a way to "push" all of the following pages "down". For instance, let's say you have a report with 20 pages. Each page in a separate rectangle. Now, I want to select all of the rectangles from the 4th one down to the 20th one down. It takes forever if I start a selection near the 4th one and drag the mouse to the bottom waiting for the scroll bar on the side to scroll the page down.
Are there better ways of selecting everything from a certain point going down?
Is there a better way to organize a large report? I wouldn't mind using sub reports, but I think I'd end up with the same issue.
One benefit you would get from subreports is that the report would not be so large anymore. You can put each subreport in a rectangle and set their size them to a half-inch or less with cangrow set to true and they will expand out for you when the report is rendered. I would be cautious about data access within the subreports. It is my understanding that if you duplicate references to datasets in the subreports it can increase the number of calls to the database.
Has this helped? Let me know if you want any clarification or if I have missed the question.
Thanks.

I was wondering if there anyway to manipulate the position and size of the text boxes for the parameters in SSRS 2005. They generally take up a large part of the top of the page and I want to prevent that if possible.
I don't think this is possible with the out of the box Report Manager. You might be able to achieve some control by tweaking the style sheet.
if you just need to control parameter order they will be rendered in the order they are defined in the designer.
you could probably create an html page that is a front end to the report and then set the parameters via URL access.
