Books

Looking for suggestions on some good books for Reporting Services that will
get me up to speed on its functionality. A book with a good index, good for
beginners, good reference book; that will hopefully get me up to speed pretty
quickly on utilizing Reporting Services.
Thanks in advance for your help.
wnfisbawnfisba,
I bought Wrox's Prof SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services book a month ago,
and I was disappointed.
I was very disappointed when I tried to learn about the ReportViewer
control. There were only a few pages that dealt with it, and it really didn't
get into the good, stuff.
I wanted to use the control on remote servers, and it didn't explain the
issues on setting the credentials.
I would have re-titled this book - - Beginner SQL Server Report Server, for
it really only touches high level topics regarding the SSRS 2005. However, if
you want a lesson in developing WinForm application, this is your book.

for Dummies" book very helpful, especially for context and concept (how the
pieces fit together and why).

Bookmark Functionality and HTMLFragment

I have a report displayed within a frame. A different frame in the
frameset is posting parameter values to this report display frame.
The bookmarks on the report do not work when displayed within the
frame. The onclick javascript command is not created for the
bookmarks.
I have the following HTML configuration settings:
Format = HTML4.0
Toolbar = False
Parameters = False
HTMLFragment = True
If I set the HTMLFragment = false, the bookmarks work, but my
subreports are not rendered in IE (but the subreports are rendered in
Firefox), instead I get the typical red X indicative of a missing
image.
When I view the report via Report Manager, the bookmarks work
correctly. When I include the toolbar on the report, the bookmarks
work correctly (and I see the bookmark onclick code generated when I
view the source of the report).
Any help appreciated.The bookmarks will not work in fragment mode as the content is expected to
be inserted in another document. You shouldn't need fragment mode for the
frame. As for why the subreports are not showing, I don't understand why
(especially if you say it works in Firefox). Do you mean images? Subreports
are never replaced with a red X.
