Is it possible to have the .rds file in reports folder

Since i have 5 different projects all has the same kind of reports., but calling via 5 different sites all sites on same webserver.

The problem i have is the .rds file name is same in all 5 report projects and it is a shared datasource., now when i compile the report project it will not load or overwrite the .rds file since the name is same, for that reason i tried to have the .rds file in reports folder as a datasource not a shared datasource. but i tried to add it, after i create the datasource, it is automatically going into the shared datasource folder, how can i create a datasource not shared under reports folder.

Thank you very much for all your help and information.

Hello,

From the Project menu, select 'Properties'. In the TargetDataSourceFolder, type the path of where you want the data source to go. From Books Online:

TargetDataSourceFolder

Type the name of the destination folder for publishing the shared data sources that are contained within the project. This value is optional. If you do not specify a folder, the data source is published to the same folder as the report. If the folder does not exist on the report server, Report Designer creates the folder when the reports are published. If a folder is located within another folder, include the path to the folder, starting at the root, for example, Folder1/Folder2/Folder3.

Hope this helps.

is folder App_data uses to store database by .net 2.0 hosting companies?

I am workin on a website for me and my friend. I want to host it at a hosting company. In asp.net 2.0 projects are build with the App_data folder, which can stores data source such as a SQL Server 2005 database. But when i want to host the site at a hosting company, will the database goed into this folder?

I also have a hosting company and dealing with the same problem.

The company has a SQL server that is different than the web server so; you have to create the database in the SQL server and then have your asp codes connect to that server by a connection string. You have to have the IP address of the server, your username and password to make that work.

Hope this helps.Smile
