Hi,
I could not find any documentation about this, so I post it here...
For eg. I have a aspx Purchase Order Entry. Upon completing the data entry on this page, the user wish to print this PO. Normally I will have print button on this page. Upon clicking it, an PDF will open up in a new browser showing this PO.
Where should I put this report in ? What would the code in the button look like ?
Thank you.

Hi
Please let us know your task in detail. Do you need to send parameters from the aspx page into the report and then to print it directly by pressing just a button on the client's computer?
Thank you.

I already have all the data required on my data entry aspx page. I have it in my custom object. Some are single data like Creditors ID, Name, Address and the rest are repeating purchase detail items (Item ID, Description, Qty, Price).
So I need to pass all this data to my report and have the report appears as another web page (could be PDF, Word or HTML)

Please use the following code to export rendered report in Pdf:
report.ExportDocument(Stimulsoft.Report.StiExportFormat.Pdf, "D:\\MyFile.pdf");
To render report in pdf, please use the following:
Stimulsoft.Report.Web.StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report, false)
if you need a window with asking about saving the Pdf, please use the following command:
Stimulsoft.Report.Web.StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report)
Thank you.

Hello,
At first you need add to your project new aspx page. This page will be used for showing report. After then type following code to redirect to page wich will be used to show report:
Code: Select all
report.Render();
string str = report.SaveDocumentToString();
string guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "");
this.Page.Cache.Add(guid, str, null, Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, time, System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority.Low, null);
Response.Redirect(string.Format("WebForm2.aspx?report={0}", guid));
In PageLoad event of WebForm2 you need use following code:
Code: Select all
string guid = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params[“report”] as string;
if (guid == null)return;
string str = this.Page.Cache[guid] as string;
if (str == null)return;
StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.LoadDocumentFromString(str);
Stimulsoft.Report.Web.StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report);
Thank you.

Hello,
Sorry in some cases Acrobat Reader can't be opened in full page mode in browser.
Thank you.
