Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,

We are using the latest version of the Stimulsoft Reports for .net, which is a great product.

I would like to know if the following can already be done or could it be considered as a new feature in the next release.

What I would like to do is, before opening the designer, allow the user to select a report file (.mrt) in a dialog box while displaying a small preview panel/thumbnail within the open file dialog so the users can see the report before they click the open button in the dialog.

This could be done if there was a method to convert the report file to an image object. Is there anything like this currently in place? If not, would it be possible to do this? And if so, how would I go about doing it?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance.

To generate a thumbnail image of a report, try this:

Thanks so much, Brendan.

I obviously didn't search hard enough using the correct keywords.
