public function CreateReport (

	Definition : byte[], 
	Properties : Property[]
) : Warning[]

Parameters

Report

The name of the new report.

Parent

The full path name of the parent folder to which to add the report.

Overwrite

A Boolean expression that indicates whether an existing report with the same name in the location specified should be overwritten.

Definition

The report definition to publish to the report server.

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example publishes a report in the form of a Report Definition Language (RDL) file to a report server database:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

class Sample
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

      Byte[] definition = null;
      Warning[] warnings = null;
      string name = "MyReport";

      try
      {
         FileStream stream = File.OpenRead("MyReport.rdl");
         definition = new Byte[stream.Length];
         stream.Read(definition, 0, (int) stream.Length);
         stream.Close();
      }

      catch(IOException e)
      {
         Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
      }

      try
      {
         warnings = rs.CreateReport(name, "/Samples", false, definition, null);

         if (warnings != null)
         {
            foreach (Warning warning in warnings)
            {
               Console.WriteLine(warning.Message);
            }
         }

         else
            Console.WriteLine("Report: {0} created successfully with no warnings", name);
      }

      catch (SoapException e)
      {
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString());
      }

   }
}
