My Own - Multi Select Parameter Passing Implementation

Hi,
I would like to share how I implemented in my application by passing multi
select parameters into the report.
1. In my .net file, I have created a list box which I load all the multi
values that the user wants to report on(for Ex: Equipment Id = 100,200,300,400 and so on).
2. When the user submits the page, I load the above list into a table.
3. In my stored procedure, I go after this table and build the SELECT
statement.
4. Since the report has to refreshed everytime they add another value into
the list, the report has to know that it has to refresh. For this what I have
done is on the table that i load all the values, I extract the SEQUENCE # and
pass it to the report(it is a unique # everytime when you refresh the page).
U can also pass a Random # but the uniqueness is not guaranteed and the
report may not refresh.
In the Report Designer:
1. I create a parameter called RefreshReport. This value that gets passed
into the parameter is the SEQUENCE value.
I poured my head into 3 books for some clue and couldn't find one hint.
I will be more than happy to answer any questions regarding this
implementation..hi, can you be more detailing? I've been following a guide from a book,
there's this query:
="SELECT * FROM vProductProfitability WHERE (Year = @.Year) AND (Mon
thNumberOfYear = @.Month) AND (Category IN (â'+Parameters!CategoryStrin
g.Value+â'))â'
yes, like what you said, you created a new parameter, in here, the the param
is category string, I dn't know where to put this query since i'm using a
stored procedure.. the only way we can use this query is by using text, so
about your stored procedure that you changed.. what is it?
what i can still select is 1 item, although i'm using checkboxlist, i can
select all of them, but w/ an error of course.
can you please discuss how you manage to enable multi select, since you've
posted a helping memo in here already.. advance thanks!
