Report parameters huge data issue

[Kishore]

I am getting WCF service exception when I am trying to add huge data to report parameter, if we send small chunk of data its working fine. do verify my code and suggest me the right way to add parameter data. Added web.config setting along with the reportviewer code.

<bindings>
      <customBinding>
        <binding name="BinaryHttpBinding">
          <binaryMessageEncoding>
            <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
              maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
          </binaryMessageEncoding>
          <httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" />
        </binding>
      </customBinding>
</bindings>

public partial class ReportViewer : Page, IReportServiceClientFactory
   {
       public ReportSettingsDTO ReportParametersObject { get; set; }
       public ReportViewer()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           this.rptViewer.ReportServiceClientFactory = this;
           this.rptViewer.Report = "WebClient.Reports.TestReport, WebClient";
           this.rptViewer.RenderBegin += new RenderBeginEventHandler(rptViewer_RenderBegin);
       }

       void rptViewer_RenderBegin(object sender, RenderBeginEventArgs args)
       {
           args.ParameterValues["ParameterObject"] = serialize();
       }
       public string serialize()
       {
           MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

           // Serializer the User object to the stream.
           DataContractSerializer ser = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(ReportSettingsDTO));
           ser.WriteObject(ms, ReportParametersObject);
           byte[] array = ms.ToArray();
           ms.Close();
           return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(array, 0, array.Length);
       }

       #region IReportServiceClientFactory Members

       ReportServiceClient IReportServiceClientFactory.Create(System.Uri remoteAddress)
       {
           var binding = new BasicHttpBinding()
           {
               TransferMode = System.ServiceModel.TransferMode.Buffered,
               MaxBufferSize = int.MaxValue,
               MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue,
               OpenTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0),
               ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0),
               SendTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0)
           };

           var endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress(remoteAddress);

           return new ReportServiceClient(binding, endpointAddress);
       }


       #endregion

Hello Kishore,

The Report Parameters are send to the service with GET request. Its maximum length depends on the browser you use and you're most likely exceeding the allowed number of characters. Anyway the Report Parameters are not meant to be used for what you do - sending your data to the report engine. The major usages of the report parameters are:

• to vary report data retrieved from a Data Source component
• in expressions to directly provide a value
• in data item filtering, sorting or grouping criteria

As the reports reside on the server, the correct approach would be to use the NeedDataSource event where you generate your data query and based on a parameter value, change that query accordingly.
