Hi!
I created a report in VS using a shared data source which is connected to a sharepoint list. In the report I created a dataset with a
SOAP call to the data source so I get the result from the sharepoint list in a table.
this is the
soap call
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>{BD8D39B7-FA0B-491D-AC6F-EC9B0978E0CE}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="viewName">
<DefaultValue>{E2168426-804F-4836-9BE4-DC5F8D08A54F}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="rowLimit">
<DefaultValue>9999</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
THis works fine, I have a result which I can show in a report, but I want to have the ability to select a parameter to filter the result on. I have created a parameter and when I preview the Report I see the dropdownbox which I can use to make a selection from the Title field, when I do this it still shows the first record, obviously it doens't work yet (DUH!) because I need to create a query somewhere, But! I have no idea where, I tried to include
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="ows_Title" />
<Value Type="Text">testValue</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
in the the
soap request but it didn't worked... I've searched teh intarwebz but couldn't find any simliar problems... kinda stuck now...any thoughts on this?
EDIT
Here's the query I used according to the blogpost Alex Angas linked.
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<queryOptions></queryOptions>
<query><Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="ows_Title"/>
<Value Type="Text">someValue</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query></query>
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>{BD8D39B7-FA0B-491D-AC6F-EC9B0978E0CE}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="viewName">
<DefaultValue>{E2168426-804F-4836-9BE4-DC5F8D08A54F}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="rowLimit">
<DefaultValue>9999</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
I tried to put the new query statement in every possible way in the existing, but it doesn't work at all, I do not get an error though so the code is valid, but I still get an unfiltered list as return... pulling my hair out here!
