Add input parameter VS 2008 - reporting-services

I am new to SSRS. I have Business Intelligence VS 2008. I am trying to add report parameters to the report but the data tab does not seem to be coming up in the designer. My requirement is to pass parameters from the UI to the report in a remote/server mode. I have to just pass the parameters to the report and the report should render the output in a pdf format.

There are a number of ways to achieve what you're looking for. Take a look at the following link: http://weblogs.asp.net/stephensonger/archive/2008/12/05/opening-ssrs-report-in-pdf-format-via-asp-net.aspx
It outputs an SSRS 2008 report directly to PDF.

Opening a SSRS report in PDF format on an image click

I am new to SSRS and having hard time rendering a report in PDF format.
I have a master report which within has a PDF icon. My requirement is to get a report that uses the parameters from SSRS master report and open the report in PDF format in new tab.
I tried applying the below logic from a post from Stack overflow
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=I%20am%20new%20to%20SSRS%20and%20having%20hard%20time%20rendering%20a%20report%20in%20PDF%20format.)
For example, to specify two parameters, “ReportMonth” and “ReportYear”, defined in a
report, use the following URL for a native mode report server:
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/AdventureWorks 2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008
but the same did not work.
**I need to pass the parameters from master report.
I am building my report using SSDT version 2017 and using HANA as DS.
Thanks in advance.
You will have to use the Action property with the Go to URL action of the icon. Use an expression to build the URL:
=String.Format(“http://myrshost/ReportServer/?/MyReportName&ReportMonth={0}&ReportYear={1}&rs:Format=PDF", Fields!ReportMonth.Value, Fields!ReportYear.Value)
This will replace the placeholders {0} and {1} in the string with values from your master (current) report and pass them as parameters to the MyReportName report which will be rendered as PDF.

I need to send only first tab of rendered excel via mail subscription in SSRS 2008

I have created report with multiple tabs when exported to excel. In Mail subscription, I need to send only first page of my rendered excel of report.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
In SSRS 2008 R2 or later you can use the Globals!RenderFormat.Name
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL")
If you are using SSRS 2008 or earlier, this is not available. the only way I can think of doing it is to add a parameter to the report that you can then use to hide the relevant sections. You could then set this parameter as default = false but force it to be true for your subscription.

Pass data to report from page

Is there a way that we can Pass data to report from web page
To be more specific I have a report to which I want to bind dataset from Code behind,
I am using ssrs 2008 r2
with C# 4.0 ASP.NET
Basically these reports will be viewed on browser, but what I want is to have something like we can pass the data from the page to the report
So far I found that there is no direct solution but is there any workaround ?
You can do it using XML and pass the data from the page to the report server
The XML datasource will generate dataset in the report and you can use it in your report
For detailed answer please take a look here

CRM 2011 Passing QueryString to SSRS Report

I have a report in SSRS that I have in Dynamics CRM 2011 and when the report is run, in the url it passes the id like http://url&id=123-123-123-123. I am trying to make my report in ssrs to grab the id from the query string and use that in the parameters to determine which data to show. Is this possible and if so how would one go about doing it.
Thanks!
CRM actually sends a parameter which can be used to select the filtered view of data that the report was run on. See the report writers guide, and in particular, Using Filters in a Report.
In the simplest case, you would write your main data set to select like so: SELECT <column1>, <column2>, <columnN> FROM FilteredAccount AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount
If that doesn't answer answer your question... You could write an aspx page which embeds the report viewer control. From there you would read the query string, load the report, and then set some parameters based on the query string values. You'd have to have custom ribbon options to launch your custom page.
I had the same problem.
Here is the resolution which worked for me:

ssrs derived Reports

I have a lot of reports which have the same parameters (datetime custom period forexample). For each new report I have to recreate list of parameters.
Is there any option to derive parameters from base report?
Or maybe it is possible to add similar parameters simpler?
You can make a template report with all the basics (params, headers etc).
Then in BIDS, choose to add an existing report item, browse and select the template report you created.
Reporting services will copy the template rld file to the project folder and add the report to the BIDS solution explorer.
