Additional Global fields within RS

Hi,
the usage of GLOBALS in RS is very useful because they could be used
within the definition of data sources as parameter as well as content
to fill report text fields etc.
Has anybody an idea, how to define an additional GLOBAL var and fill it
with a value' (e.g. via code extension)
Thanks for your suggestions
best regards
BruceOne way to do this is to create a parameter and leave the prompt empty... It
will not be shown with the other parameters, but it still part of the
parameters collection...
You might also try to create Statics variables in the REport Code section.

Adding Global Parameters

Is there a way to access global parameters in Reporting Services Reports?..currently all we can usee is the Globals collection...is there a way to add keys to global collection?
can we write something in web.config ( as ReportServer is also a web application) and use the ConfigurationManager class?. The ConfigurationManager class did not work for me when I used it in the expression editor as the editor did not recognise it.

Any help is appreciated (or pointers for that matter).

Thanks.

Hello, have you found any solution yet? I'd like to use shared parameter of whole .net solution or project too. I could imagine to write assembly that expose a constant, but I wish it would exist an easier way. Jirka Nouza
