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 uses the CreateRole method to create a user role that has permissions to view folders and reports:

Imports System  
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols  

Class Sample  
   Public Shared Sub Main()  
      Dim rs As New ReportingService2010()  
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials  

      Try   
         Dim name As String = "Report Browser"   
         Dim desc As String = "View folders and reports."   

         Dim tasks As Task() = rs.ListTasks("All")    
         Dim taskIDs As New List(Of String)()    

         For Each t As Task In tasks    
            taskIDs.Add(t.TaskID)    
         Next   

         rs.CreateRole(name, desc, taskIDs.ToArray())  
      Catch e As SoapException  
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString())  
      End Try  
   End Sub 'Main  
End Class 'Sample  
using System;  
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;  

class Sample  
{  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
     ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();  
      rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;  

      try  
      {  
         string name = "Report Browser";  
       string desc = "View folders and reports.";  

         Task[] tasks = rs.ListTasks("All");  
         List<string> taskIDs = new List<string>();  

         foreach (Task t in tasks)  
         {  
            taskIDs.Add(t.TaskID);  
         }  

         rs.CreateRole(name, desc, taskIDs.ToArray());  
      }  
      catch (SoapException e)  
      {  
         Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString());  
      }
