Use format parameter in report URL

Question

I know I can specify a format paramter when I navigate to an ssrs report. But would it work if I use Report Viewer - no SSRS Server.

Thanks

Answer 1

no SSRS Server.

No SSRS Server = no URL at all to access a non-existing SSRS Server.

Answer 2

Hi @mark goldin ,
You can not pass format parameters via the URL since the control is expecting on the URL to the actual reportserver and nothing more. The ReportViewerControl ReportServerURL property is a lot different than formatting a general URL to access a report.
One way you could try is to navigate a web browser control to that URL which would also render the report within your web app. I only found cases where parameters were added in this way. I'm not sure that format parameters can be set in this way.

Best Regards,
Joy
