Adding a script in Reporting Services

Hi.
I need to display a date with his serial week number of the year (from 1-52
weeks).
I wrote a class method that will receive this date and will return the
corresponding week number, and made a dll file out of it.
I added this dll as a reference to my report using Report->Report
Properties->Add Reference.
Now to the tricky part, how do I embed this code in my report?
I found some documented material that I need to uncomment the
<customAssembies> in the rsconfig file. I looked into my config file but no
such <customAssembies> exists.
Does anyone have an example of how to use external dll and to successfully
embed them in the report?
I will highly appreciate any word of wisdom...
Thanks,
GuyGuy,
I didn't figure out your dll question but I believe this will solve
your date problem.
=DatePart(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Today)
or
=DatePart("ww",Today)
Hope this helps.
Here's a link to the Visual Basic Run-time Library Members

Steve|||Steve, thanks a lot.
You have been very helpful.
I also realized how to create GetWeekOfYear( ) in VB.Net and to embed this
function in my report as Code.GetWeekOfYear( ).
I would to rephrase my request for assistance:
1. I created a class in C# and the class method as GetWeekOfYear( ) and
create a dll file of this class.
2. I added this reference to an existing report using the Report->Add
reference command from the Menu toolbar.
3. According to MSDN documentation I need to uncomment the
<CustomAssemblies> in the RSReportingServer.config
However, I didn't find any <CustomAssemblies> in the
RSReportingServer.config, therefore I can't refer to my dll file which
contains the GetWeekOfYear( ) method.
I will appreciate any help in adding and using dll in the Reporting Services
(which is not written in VB.Net which is the natural language in this
environment).
Thanks,
Guy

date and the week numbers in the record? Then you solve the problem with a
join at the data source. This reference date table has plenty of benefits
as mentioned in other recent posts.

Added /3GB to boot.ini and OS will not start

Here is a new one for me. I added the /3GB switch to the boot.ini, restarted the server and now receive a number of messages when the OS tries to load.

Explorer.exe - Application Error

The application failed to initialize properly.

If I click OK the server sits on a blue screen with no information on the screen.

The other messages are the result of me trying to do anything within Task Manager, with the exception of rebooting the server. These messages make sense since Explorer.exe had a problem.

The server has the following configuration.

HP DL580

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition - SP2

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition - SP3a

14GB Memory

(4) dual core procs

PAE is enabled in the boot.ini

If I remove the /3GB the OS starts without a problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave,

I don't recommend adding the 3GB switch for this server. You're running 14GB of memory, with PAE enabled.

This means Windows has got to use a lot more phsyical memory to house the PAE memory mappings, and when you set 3GB you're dropping the amount of memory Windows can use from 2GB down to 1GB, and from the sound of it it's just not enough for Windows.

Microsoft actually say not use 3GB with PAE in a server which has 16GB or greater RAM. But I've found anything more than 12 - 14GB and it's best not to use 3GB.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Reece.
