Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if SSRS can pass parameters to a web service and get back results?

We need a few reports to send a startdate and time and an enddate and time as well as a location parameter to a web service which will process the information for a given location(there are multiple locations that have their own hours of operation) and send back a duration. Can this be done with SSRS?

Any direction would be appreciated.

You can call .NET functions in SSRS. They can even be custom functions from a dll. So write a .NET function that does what you want, load the dll into the report, then pass the values to the dll.

We are doing this in a mission critical application.
