Examples

To compile the following code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following example code uses the SetDataSourceContents method to set the data source definition for an existing data source named "AdventureWorks":

Imports System  
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols  

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

      Dim definition As New DataSourceDefinition()  
      definition.CredentialRetrieval = CredentialRetrievalEnum.Integrated  
      definition.ConnectString = "data source=(local);initial catalog=AdventureWorks2000"  
      definition.Enabled = True  
      definition.EnabledSpecified = True  
      definition.Extension = "SQL"  
      definition.ImpersonateUser = False  
      definition.ImpersonateUserSpecified = True  
      definition.Prompt = Nothing  
      definition.WindowsCredentials = False  

      Try  
         rs.SetDataSourceContents("/SampleReports/AdventureWorks", definition)  

      Catch e As SoapException  
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.OuterXml)  
      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();  
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;  

      DataSourceDefinition definition = new DataSourceDefinition();  
      definition.CredentialRetrieval = CredentialRetrievalEnum.Integrated;  
      definition.ConnectString = "data source=(local);initial catalog=AdventureWorks2000";  
      definition.Enabled = true;  
      definition.EnabledSpecified = true;  
      definition.Extension = "SQL";  
      definition.ImpersonateUser = false;  
      definition.ImpersonateUserSpecified = true;  
      definition.Prompt = null;  
      definition.WindowsCredentials = false;  

      try  
      {  
         rs.SetDataSourceContents( "/SampleReports/AdventureWorks", definition );  
      }  

      catch (SoapException e)  
      {  
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.OuterXml);  
      }  
   }  
}  

Remarks

The table below shows header and permissions information on this operation.

SOAP Headers	(In) BatchHeaderValue (Out) ServerInfoHeaderValue
Required Permissions	UpdateContent

To remove properties that are part of the data source definition, set the values of those properties to null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

If you set the CredentialRetrieval property of the data source definition to Integrated or Prompt, do not supply values for UserName or Password. Doing so results in a SOAP exception with the error code rsInvalidElementCombination.

If you set the CredentialRetrieval property of the data source definition to Integrated or Store, any value you supply for the Prompt property is not saved.

With subscriptions, it may be necessary to store credentials in the report server database so that the subscriptions can run unattended.

Setting the ConnectionString property of the data source definition to null (Nothing in Visual Basic) results in a SOAP exception with the error code rsInvalidXML. If you do not want to supply a value for ConnectionString, set its value to an empty string ("").
