Setting Reporting Parameter from Session Variables

[SwanB]

How can we most easily perform the follwoing directly from the Stanalone Report designer?

//Get the current user name from the CurrentUserName Session variable
string un = HttpContext.Current.Session["CurrentUserName"].ToString();

//Set a value to a Report Parameter1 used in a report filter
report1.ReportParameters["Parameter1"].Value = un;

Hello SwanB,

The Standalone Report Designer is a desktop application. When you preview reports in it, they are processed locally in the context of the desktop application.

Once the report is designed and included in a web application, you can get the Session variable and use it as a value for the report parameter in code e.g.:

//specify the report that will be diplsayed via ReportSource - http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/report-sources
var URS = new UriReportSource();
URS.Uri = Server.MapPath("~/ReportsFolder/Report1.trdp");

//specify values to be passed to report parameters
//the ReportSource.Parameters collection is mapped to the report's ReportParameters collection by Name
URS.Parameters.Add("Parameter1",Session["param1"].ToString());
