I have asp.net MVC2 application.
I am using VS2008 and want to hook up generated report from my controller to reportviewer.
any ideas?
so far i have this code
"Controller"
//should pass data to report
public ActionResult GenerateReport()
{
LocalReport report = new LocalReport();
report.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/KingsCourt.rdlc");
List<InvoiceRow> rows = new List<InvoiceRow>();
rows.Add(new InvoiceRow { name = "Testing item", value = (decimal)25.85 });
rows.Add(new InvoiceRow { name = "Testing item2", value = (decimal)5.15 });
ReportDataSource source = new ReportDataSource("InvoiceRow", rows);
report.DataSources.Add(source);
ViewData["InvoiceRow"] = report;
return View();
}
and View page:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<h2>GenerateReport</h2>
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana"
Font-Size="8pt" Height="400px" Width="400px">
<LocalReport ReportPath="Reports\KingsCourt.rdlc">
<DataSources>
<rsweb:ReportDataSource DataSourceId="ObjectDataSource1" Name="InvoiceRow" />
</DataSources>
</LocalReport>
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" runat="server" SelectMethod="Rows"
TypeName="Accounts.Classes.Invoices"></asp:ObjectDataSource>
</form>
You can always use ASP.NET WebForms with MVC. I guess this is the only way to do it.
I've prepared a sample for you here.
You can create a folder where you're going to put your asp.net WebForm and the report (rdlc).
I've put in the same folder the schema (xsd) and the data (xml) but, obviously, I guess you're going to use the database.
I've mapped the route to the report(s) like this:
//Custom route for reports
routes.MapRoute(
"ReportRoute",
"Reports/{reportname}",
"~/Reports/{reportname}.aspx"
);
UPDATE:
I have prepared some code for ASP.NET MVC3 (MvcReportViewerMVC3).
It is pretty much the same with some minor changes on the webform: I've integrated the new ReportViewer (10) and I had to add the ScriptManager to the same page:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
I've changed the WebForm code as well cause it appears that page_load event is called loads of times:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
....
}
}
Hope it helps.
I doubt usage of reportviewer in asp.net mvc is possible.
Best thing You can do is return report rendered as an image.
Pavel, I've struggled a little while with that. At the end decided to implement my own ActionResult and streaming a PDF file.
This is my action:
public ActionResults.DownloadFileResult PrintReport()
{
rvDocument = new WebForms.ReportViewer();
rvDocument.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
LocalReport report = rvDocument.LocalReport;
report.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/KingsCourt.rdlc");
string sGuid = Guid.NewGuid.ToString.Replace("-", "");
List<InvoiceRow> rows = new List<InvoiceRow>();
rows.Add(new InvoiceRow { name = "Testing item", value = (decimal)25.85 });
rows.Add(new InvoiceRow { name = "Testing item2", value = (decimal)5.15 });
ReportDataSource source = new ReportDataSource("InvoiceRow", rows);
report.DataSources.Add(source);
rvDocument.LocalReport.Refresh();
string sFileName = Path.Combine("<temp folder>", sGuid + ".PDF");
byte[] StreamBytes = null;
string mimeType = "";
string encoding = "";
string filenameExtension = "";
string[] streamids = null;
Warning[] warnings = null;
StreamBytes = rvDocument.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, mimeType, encoding, filenameExtension, streamids, warnings);
if ((StreamBytes != null)) {
try {
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(sFileName, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write)) {
fs.Write(StreamBytes, 0, StreamBytes.Length);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Log.Logger.WriteException(string.Empty, ex, Log.Logger.LogTypes.Error, this.GetType, "Report001_Load");
}
StreamBytes = null;
}
BPMVC.ActionResults.DownloadFileResult oPdfToStream = new BPMVC.ActionResults.DownloadFileResult();
{
oPdfToStream.FileName = sFileName;
oPdfToStream.ContentType = "application/pdf";
oPdfToStream.DocumentName = "ReportName.pdf";
}
return (oPdfToStream);
}
and this is my custom ActionResult
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
namespace ActionResults
{
public class DownloadFileResult : ActionResult
{
#region " Public Properties "
private string _VirtualPath = "";
public string VirtualPath {
get { return (_VirtualPath); }
set { _VirtualPath = value; }
}
private string _FileName = "";
public string FileName {
get { return (_FileName); }
set { _FileName = value; }
}
private string _ContentType = "text/html";
public string ContentType {
get { return (_ContentType); }
set { _ContentType = value; }
}
private string _DocumentName = "";
public string DocumentName {
get { return (_DocumentName); }
set { _DocumentName = value; }
}
#endregion
public override void ExecuteResult(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext context)
{
if ((context == null)) {
throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.FileName) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.VirtualPath)) {
throw new ArgumentNullException("FileName is Empty");
}
string filePath = "";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.VirtualPath)) {
filePath = this.FileName;
} else {
filePath = context.HttpContext.Server.MapPath(this.VirtualPath);
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.DocumentName)) {
this.DocumentName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
}
{
context.HttpContext.Response.Clear();
context.HttpContext.Response.ClearHeaders();
context.HttpContext.Response.ClearContent();
context.HttpContext.Response.ContentType = this.ContentType;
context.HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", this.ContentType);
context.HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + this.DocumentName + "\"");
context.HttpContext.Response.TransmitFile(this.FileName);
context.HttpContext.Response.End();
}
}
}
}
