Microsoft Report Viewer 9 - Parameter Controls Losing Values - reporting-services

We have a website that's using Microsoft Report Viewer 9 to consume reports from Reporting Services. We noticed an issue with the controls to set parameters losing their values.
We have a date control that's used to set a Start Date parameter for the report. When we use the date picker (calendar pop-up) to set the date, all dropdown lists whose values are dependent on the date picker will lose their values. The values may be available in the dropdown, they just do not remain selected. The report data being returned is correct though.
I should not that we have not seen this issue in Microsoft Report Viewer 10 while viewing the same reports.

After contacting Microsoft support, we believe this is an issue with Report Viewer, and that it has been resolved when using Visual Studio 2010.

Embed external URL into SSRS report

I am currently using SQL Server 2019.
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
I currently have 4 separate KPI screen URL's written by our Group IT department and I would like to have all 4 KPI's on one screen so I though I would embed these into one SSRS Report.
Thanks
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
Where did you read that? It's never been true. There's even a doc page on how to do it: Add a hyperlink to a URL in a paginated report (Report Builder)

SSRS Date Parameter Formatting Issue

I am using SSRS 2019 and have an issue with date formats. I have a report that takes 2 date parameters using the report date picker, when I run the report through visual studio 2019 the report date picker dates are in the right format. When I upload it to my SSRS portal and run the same report and pick the dates it displays it MM-DD-YYYY rather than DD-MM-YYYY though it still works and generates the report. What I don't want to do is confuse users. I have checked all the region settings on my browsers as well as my server and all are set to English, I have the language in my report set to "en-UK". What I have noticed though is when I go to Manage the report through the portal and look at the changed and created dates they are also in the wrong format. This seems to be either an issue with my portal or server setting but I am not sure where else I can change this setting.
I thought I had managed to fix my issue with dates but it appears not and I may just have confused myself with too many changes.
My outstanding issue is, if I open up the report builder directly on the server the date format in the parameter box once you have clicked the calendar is as expected and works. If I run the report as normal on the reporting portal and click the date in calendar it sets it to MM-DD-YYYY. My server language setting is British English and my Browser is also set the same, what else could be changing the format?

SSRS Show Toolbar on drill down sub report

I have a dashboard SSRS report in embedded in another web app.
In this report there are drill down reports(too many).
By default I set rc:stylesheet=hideToolbar for this main report. So the toolbar is hidden.
Now we want to show the Toolbar on specific drill down reports(not all of them).
Is there a way to do this?
I have tried to create a new stylesheet but as I'm not able to change rc:stylesheet parameter when I'm calling the drilldown report it doesn't work.
I understand what you are trying to do and know that this is achievable through custom stylesheets as well alternatively via a custom SSRS Toolbar UI (via old 2005/2010 mgmt and Execution SOAP SSRS APIs*).
But that may be way overkill for your situation.
My best suggestion with the current out-of-box behavior of SSRS as of MSSQL 2019 (applies to 2016 as well) would be to create a custom link or imageLink inside those subreports that you want to have an SSRS Toolbar for which then either pops up a small new browser window above the main report (or on a new tab) with the subreport- and per default SSRS behavior the toolbar will be there, or, if you want to be explicit you can add the SSRS qs param "&rc:Toolbar=true" to that link.
I have actually used both approaches on projects. It really depends on the requirements, priority and time ya know?
Let me know if I can try to further help in any way if anything I shared was useful.

web form ssrs report date icon not displaying

I have an ssrs 2008 r2 report that has a date icon on 2 of the parameters that are dates that runs on an ssrs 2012 report server. This report is accessed by running a vb.net 2010 web form application via a report view control.
The date icon works is displayed when the ssrs 2010 report is accessed by the current version of Mozilla Firefox.
However when the report is accessed by Microsoft Edge or Chrome, the date icon is not displayed. The what is displayed in the default date/time parameter.
Thus can you tell me what I can do to make the date icon on the date parameters show when Microsoft Edge or Chrome?

Why doesn't my Selection List filter my Category Comparison Chart?

I am using the new SQL Server Reporting Services Mobile Reports in 2016.
I have added a Selection List to a report that's based on a dataset. I have checked the option to filter my dataset when a selection is made, but when I save the report and view it, nothing changes when I make a selection.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Just had to RTM :)
Turns out that even after I filter a dataset with a navigator, I need to go to each visualization and specify which filters affect that visualization by using the "Options..." menu of the fields in the Data tab
