Is it possible to know whether report is still executing in report viewer? (Web Forms)

Hi All,

I have a Report Viewer and a Exit button in Web Form. Untill the report is processed i don't want to enable the button.

so Is it possible to know whether report is still executing in report viewer ?

I am using Remote Mode.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

YOu can use the asynchronous methods for rendering the report, if the report did not raise the event of finishing you can be sure that the report is already running.

I am using HistoryID to generate the report so i can't use the asynchronous thing.

Below are the lines which are generating the report.

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportServerPath"].ToString());

ReportViewer1.ShowParameterPrompts = false;

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.HistoryId = strHistoryID; -- Assigning HistoryID

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = strReportPath;

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh();

Report is rendering asynchronously from the rest of the web page.(i.e. Report Viewer AsyncRendering attribute is set to true)

Is Forms Authentication available on Standard

I have been looking at the forms authentication sample that creates a custom login page. After looking at the licencing am I right in saying that this can only be implemented using SQL server enterprise edition as standard edition does not have the security extension API. If this is the case is there any way to custom authenticate a user when using URL calls that is not windows Authentication?I have found the answer which is simply no. Back to Crystal Reports then. Good luck getting this off the ground when you have to buy Enterprise Edition just to securely provide reports over the web that have some kind of functionality.

the report and does not have drill down functionality. If you have a report
that has drill downs (95% of my reports) in it and you run a webservice for
it, when the user clicks on the drill down they get an error.
