ducks flying south in January
kind of unusual to see this time of year. It is finally getting cold enough for them to want to get out of dodge. IE the water is finally freezing up. Bad year for Ice Fishing. Everyone else seems happy though.

URL Encoding Saves the day in SSRS and SharePoint
Ok so an issue I have had off and on over the past few months. More annoying than anything. I usually before this found a good way to work around it.  But this week I didn't have any viable options for working around this.  I needed a text box to have a URL link to another page and it needed to include the ID parameter for that other page for lookup.  Unfortunately SSRS when ran in Visual Studio worked perfectly. However when the report was deployed to the ReportingServices Server. It doubled up the ID field each time.  So I would end up with a link like the following
http://myserver/reportserver/report1.rdl?ID=123&ID=123
It was doubling up the ID every time.  Nothing out on Google about this one.  And then the target URL would not render correctly.  UGH!
So, I started playing around.  My Expression was something like this
="http://myserver/reportserver/report1.rdl?ID=" & Fields!ID.Value
Which looks right.  
No doubling up there.  So I took out the Fields!ID.Value and hardcoded in my "123"
Still doubles up.
Ok, Put it as one long string.
Still doubles up.
dropped the ID= and left 123
that shows ?123 on the URL  but no doubling up.  OK now we are onto something.  Is it the equal sign?
Replaced the equal sign with the HTML URL encoding value from 
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/html_url_encoding.htm
So the expression for the URL becomes this
="http://myserver/reportserver/report1.rdl?ID%3d" & Fields!ID.Value
And low and behold that works perfectly. All the time everytime.  YAY 


So there you go. URL Encoding saves the day.

We are going on a bear hunt
Oh no, Ice, We can't go under it. We cannot go around it. And mom and dad won't let us go over it. I guess we will just have to play near it.

Looks like a winter storm
Is coming in. It wasn't there was almost no reason for it to look this threatening. But it sure looked like there was something brewing up. Gorgeous evening.
