ssrs 2008 - sql reporting services how-to: mask a parameter -


i have requirement allow users pull report customers using customer's credit card number parameter. security want mask field, common on many e-commerce sites.

i'm pretty sure not out-of-the-box capability of reporting services. i'm hoping can accomplished adding vb report. not sure though.

anyone have idea how can done in reporting services?

as far know there no masked input parameters in ssrs 2008. i'm not sure if custom code way go. haven't wold how you're delivering reports, custom app or website reportviewer may best bet solution. in addition reportviewer control, can place own (masked input) controls user input parameter , send value in code behind.

an important note though, think how deal credit card numbers. ask questions this one (top comment: "if have ask question, shouldn't storing credit card numbers. outsource if @ possible ") on our sister site security.stackexchange.com if you're unsure. in case, know ssrs isn't particularly secure default: 1 thing stores parameters sent plainly in reportserver databases.
