Custom Assemblies and accessing report connection parameters

I am trying to access the datasource connection properties (connection string
etc) from a report -I will be accessing the information via a custom
assembly, or passing it to a custom assembly with a view to firing a stored
procedure at the end of the report in order to update a number of status
flags including the last page number of a report. The custom assmbly's done,
but has a hard coded connection string - I need to get at the reports
connection string so I fire the sp in the same db as the report's bound to.
Is there any way of accessing this information direct from the report or an
interface I can implement to retrieve it?No, you cannot access this information on RS 2000. The closest you can get
to have this configurable is to add a hidden parameter (requires RS 2000
SP1) and pass this parameter to the custom assembly.
