Dynamically create filename in SSRS 2008

Question

I have been asked a couple times to change the file name dynamically in SSRS 2008. Example: ReportName_201101.RDL. The 201101 represents the execution date. Can this be accomplished in SSRS 2008?

Answer 1

If you mean the filename when you export the report and also happen to be pulling it from the ASP.NET ReportViewer, you can set the name through the DisplayName property.

ReportViewerControl.ServerReport.DisplayName = "ReportName_201101";

or (if ProcessingMode is Local):

ReportViewerControl.LocalReport.DisplayName = "ReportName_201101";

For pretty much all other cases, Alison is right.

There is an MS Connect item open for this. It only has a few votes, so head over there and upvote it...
