Deploying Sub Reports

Just wondering what people do when they deploy sub reports and what is the 'best practise' for this. I'm just deploying them to the same folder as the main report and hiding them.

This is, to say the least, messy. As a user has to click 'Show Details' and they can see the sub report.

Is there a better way?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm doing also the same. Unfortunatelly, I do not know other solution than to hide the report in list view.

In this case, the communication is important to te report users, use just the main reports insted of using the subreports individually. Anyway, I do not see any problem, if they are able to recognize the subreports and run them.

|||Hi,

I agree with Janos. You don't need to do anything for sub-reports. In our application we do not give users direct access to reports, we have some customized pages which render these reports for these users. On these pages we present all criteria options and then using these we display our reports using "ReportViewer" control.

Hi

Thanks for the replys. I agree that there is no real problem with it. I just think it'd nicer to not have the sub reports in the same folder cluttering it up Maybe one day we'll implement a custom front end, for now I'm happy to leave the sub reports where they are and ignore them.

Cheers

I had posted this issue some months ago on Connect.Microsoft... They have closed it saying it was fixed. So it will probably be available on next Service Pack or version.

It will allow folders in RS project.
