Customize Report Parameter Properties

Is it possible to modify the XML code at runtime? I want to control the
report parameter properties multi-value setting of True/False during runtime
in the XML behind the RDL file. Set it to True if I want the parameters to be
multi-value or False for single-value. This is determined based on the value
selected in parameter one. Parameter one and two are City,State.
If City is selected in parameter one then I want Parameter two to be a
single-valued list, if State is chosen in Parameter One then I want the list
in Parameter two to be a multi-valued select list.
Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated.No, this is not possible.

are using the portal (report manager) that ships with Reporting Services. If
you want to create your own web page and then integrate with RS using either
web services or url integration this is certainly possible. RS 2005 ships
with a webform and a winform control for integrating RS reports into your
applications.

this page as a link from Report Manager going out and launching this custom
page/report? Would I find the winform/webform via Visual Studio?

links. You would need to have your own website. Usually people either use
Report Manager or provide their own front end via their own application.
