Reporting Services Date Parameters

[pame1la]

I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 and have created a report which has DateTo and DateFrom parameters...These appear as textboxes, and the user has to enter a date for each...

I want to know if I can change them to DateTimePickers instead of textboxes... is this possible?

Someone gave me the idea of creating the DateTimePicker items in a seperate formn send the user inputs to the report.... I tried this but codnt wrk out how 2 send them from the form to the report, be become the paramter values......

And ideas would be greatly appreciatied

Thanks

Why you are using the textbox at the place of the DTPicker

Thats what Reporting Services creates for parameter inputs... I just created them in the query....

But you can do it with the dtpicker also, when you use the textbox then if date format is not correct then there is also need to check the date format also so have to need some more coding in the project. Then why to code more if you have a option like dtpicker also, and if you want to use the null value in the date then use the dtpicker checkbox property.

Surprise
You are asking the question related to the crystal report, are you not using the crystal report for making the project in the VS.NET.
Are you not using the crviewer in your project?

What reporting services you are using in you your project

I feel a bit dumb....

Im using Visual Studio .2003, and used the Report Project Wizard under Business Intelligence Reports to create the report... and then through Reporting Services delivering them to the users
