Examples

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 searches the report server database for all reports whose names contain the word "Sales":

Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols  

Class Sample  
   Public Shared Sub Main()  
      Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()  
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials  

      Dim items As CatalogItem() = Nothing  
      Dim condition As New SearchCondition()  
      condition.Condition = ConditionEnum.Contains  
      condition.ConditionSpecified = True  
      condition.Name = "Name"  
      condition.Value = "Sales"  

      Dim conditions(0) As SearchCondition  
      conditions(0) = condition  

      Try  
         items = rs.FindItems("/", BooleanOperatorEnum.Or, conditions)  

         If Not (items Is Nothing) Then  
            Dim ci As CatalogItem  
            For Each ci In  items  
               Console.WriteLine("Item {0} found at {1}", ci.Name, ci.Path)  
            Next ci

Remarks

The table below shows header and permissions information on this operation.

The length of the Folder parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Folder parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.

The report server does not support wildcard characters in the middle of the search condition. Wildcard characters include %, _, [, ], ^, and -. If a wildcard character is present, the report server treats the character literally.

Only one instance of a property name can be supplied in the set of search conditions.

The search functionality of FindItems is case-insensitive.

Applications that use FindItems typically accept user input for specific properties and property values. The searchable properties are Name, Description, CreatedBy, CreationDate, ModifiedBy, and ModifiedDate. The items that are returned are only those for which a user has Read Properties permission.
