Hello,

Sorry, maybe we did not exactly understand your question. Could you explain your task in more details?

Thank you.

Hi,

Sorry, I did not explain it clearly, my task is to create a report at runtime, and display it on a exist page, the steps may be like this:
1. On the client side, make a Ajax request with some parameters;
2. Server process the request, get the parameters, create a report by using the parameters;
3. Respond the html representation of the report. The code might like this:
String htmlString = report.getHtml();
respond.setContent(htmlString);
4. In the callback function of the Ajax request, process the respond and put the html into somewhere of this page.

I stucked in step 3 because I did not find the report.getHtml()-like fuction.

Or may be I can request a aspx page directly?

Thank you.

Hello.

You could use next code to get report in HTML format:

Code: Select all

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
report.ExportDocument(StiExportFormat.Html, ms);

But why not to use our StiWebViewer on your page?

Thank you.

Hello,

It works, Thank you.

I need to create report dynamically, so I'm not sure StiWebViewer works for this situation.

Thanks again!

Hello.

StiWebViewer just show report. And it will should any report either report loaded from file or report created dynamically.
You could find the RuntimeBuildReport sample project in the Stimulsoft Reports.Net installation. In this sample you could find code to create report.

Thank you.
