hidden ReportParameter where is it?

I'm coding up a WinForm using SSRS WebServices, and I have found I can't see a Hidden property for the ReportParameter

Anyone know how to read if a Parameter is hidden?

You can know that whether the report parameter is hidden or not by using the below code snippets.

Dim pAs Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameterInfoFor Each pIn ReportViewer1.ServerReport.GetParametersIf p.Visible =False Then'Parameter is hiddenEnd IfNext

Thanks for the reply, but I'm having a little difficulity understanding why this is not available from Reporting Services Web Service.

I am looking up the details from reportservice.asmx WebService, and returning the information back to a List:

CatalogItem[] items =this.objRS.ListChildren(currentFolder,false);

(Sorry it's in C#)

Where objRS is the RS WebServices.

Then I use

reportParametersArray =this.objRS.GetReportParameters(report, historyID, forRendering,null,null);

foreach (ReportParameter pin reportParametersArray)

{

p.Visible; // This odes not exist :-(

}

However Visible is not available using it in this way :-(

Why is it different, and what am I missing?

Hi,

You can get the visibility by adding a condition to the code you have written. Please find the code below. I hope this would help.

reportParametersArray =this.objRS.GetReportParameters(report, historyID, forRendering,null,null);
foreach (ReportParameter pin reportParametersArray)
{
if (p.Prompt =="") {
//Parameter is hidden }}

Perfect, thanks.

Why oh why the name change from Visible to Prompt?

It's something like a flag used for an internal manipulation.
