ReportingService2005.FindItems Method

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Returns items from a report server database that match the search criteria.

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function FindItems ( _
    Folder As String, _
    BooleanOperator As BooleanOperatorEnum, _
    Conditions As SearchCondition() _
) As CatalogItem()

public CatalogItem[] FindItems (
    string Folder,
    BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator,
    SearchCondition[] Conditions
)

public:
array<CatalogItem^>^ FindItems (
    String^ Folder, 
    BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, 
    array<SearchCondition^>^ Conditions
)

public CatalogItem[] FindItems (
    String Folder, 
    BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, 
    SearchCondition[] Conditions
)

public function FindItems (
    Folder : String, 
    BooleanOperator : BooleanOperatorEnum, 
    Conditions : SearchCondition[]
) : CatalogItem[]

Parameters

• Folder
  The full path name of the folder to search. To search the entire report server database, specify the root folder (/).

• BooleanOperator
  The logical operator that is applied to connect the search conditions. Possible values are AND and OR. The default value is AND.

• Conditions
  An array of SearchCondition objects that defines the property names and values for which to search.

Return Value

An array of CatalogItem objects in the report server database that correspond to the specified search criteria.

Remarks

The report server does not support wildcard characters in the middle of the search condition. Wildcard characters include %, _, [, ], ^, and -. If a wildcard character is present, the report server treats the character literally.

Only once instance of a property name can be supplied in the set of search conditions.

The search functionality of FindItems is case-insensitive.

Applications that use FindItems typically accept user input for specific properties and property values. The searchable properties are Name, Description, CreatedBy, CreationDate, ModifiedBy, and ModifiedDate. The items that are returned are only those for which a user has Read Properties permission.

Example

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example searches the report server database for all reports whose names contain the word "Sales":

Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols

Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

      Dim condition As New SearchCondition()
      condition.Condition = ConditionEnum.Contains
      condition.ConditionSpecified = True
      condition.Name = "Name"
      condition.Value = "Sales"

      Dim conditions(0) As SearchCondition
      conditions(0) = condition

      Try
         items = rs.FindItems("/", BooleanOperatorEnum.Or, conditions)

         If Not (items Is Nothing) Then
            Dim ci As CatalogItem
            For Each ci In  items
               Console.WriteLine("Item {0} found at {1}", ci.Name, ci.Path)
            Next ci
         End If

      Catch e As SoapException
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString())
      End Try
   End Sub 'Main
End Class 'Sample

using System;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

class Sample
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();

      CatalogItem[] items = null;
      SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition();
      condition.Condition = ConditionEnum.Contains;

      condition.Name = "Name";
      condition.Value = "Sales";

      SearchCondition[] conditions = new SearchCondition[1];
      conditions[0] = condition;

      try
      {
         items = rs.FindItems( "/", BooleanOperatorEnum.Or, conditions );

         if ( items != null )
         {
            foreach ( CatalogItem ci in items)
            {
               Console.WriteLine( "Item {0} found at {1}", ci.Name, ci.Path );
