If you want to deploy a report (*.rdl) file to SQL Server Reporting Services in PowerShell, use the following script:

 

PowerShell script

"Set execution policy to [Unrestricted]"
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

"Load assembly"
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\Temp\Ada.Cdf.dll")

"Create report"
$report = New-Object Ada.Cdf.Deployment.SSRS.Report
$report.SSRSWebServiceUrl = "http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx"
$report.SSRSFolder = "ADA Sales Reports"
$report.FileSystemPath = "C:\Reports\AanvragenStats.rdl"
$report.Create()

 

C# code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Ada.Cdf.ReportService2005;

namespace Ada.Cdf.Deployment.SSRS
{
    public class Report
    {
        public string FileSystemPath { get; set; }
        public string SSRSWebServiceUrl { get; set; }
        public string _ssrsFolder = string.Empty;
        public string SSRSFolder 
        {
            get
            {
                // Use "/" as default value
                string firstCharacter = "/";
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_ssrsFolder))
                {
                    _ssrsFolder = firstCharacter;
                }

                // Report folder should start with one "/"
                _ssrsFolder = firstCharacter + _ssrsFolder.TrimStart(firstCharacter.ToCharArray());

                return _ssrsFolder;
            }
            set

            rs.Url = this.SSRSWebServiceUrl;
            rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

        }

  1. Hi,

    Good job on your article.
    I’m working on deploy reports through TFS, when deploy reports to QA/Test, do I have to build the report sln/rptproj?

    Another question, does your dll deploy all reports or just modified reports? If is all reports, what do I need to change to accommodate to deploy only modified reports.

    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

  2. You can deploy report without building the report sln / proj, saving the reports is enough.
    De script will deploy all dll’s. You can ask the report server if the reports differ.

  3. Where can i get the Reporting services 2005 from? using Ada.Cdf.ReportService2005;?

    I am trying to use the same code in a windows application to kinda come up with a installer kinda screen accepting the report server URL n other parameters. Is this possible?

  4. When you want to call the reportingservices2005 from C# code, you should first add a service reference, this services reference generates a dll in my case this dll has the name “Ada.Cdf.ReportService2005”
