Hi Vinay,
If I want to name the report according to the parameters passed
i.e Am passing Parameter1 and Parameter2 then I need the report name as
Parameter1_Parameter2.Xtension.

Any Suggestions…

Thanks in advance

  You need to do merge both parameter in page load and than apply it , you can do that by creating third parameter to apply this transition or by variable ( if you use new parameter than make sure its transitive ( i.e generated from parameter 1 and 2 and no user input required )
  
  Hope this help!
  
  Thanks

I believe this is the solution to my problem but I don’t know how to apply it. Could you provide more guidance or an illustration? To be sure: I want to run an SSRS 2014 report against an Oracle 10 database by invoking this report by URL from another report. I want the 2nd report results to output to a CSV file with a particular name and for the user to be aware this has occurred. So far I have the 1st report invoking the 2nd and when the repot is ready it prompts the user to open or save the CSV file.

  Jeff , Do you render report using Report Viewer or you specify export as parameter to directly export the report ?
  
  Thanks

  Can you confirm if you applying code on Page_Load , it won’t work on any of other methods.
