Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hello to you,

I'm newbie in .net world, also newbie using stimulsoft report.
I'm using VB.NET 2005, StimulReport 2008.2, MS-ACCESS 2000 database

How to passing data to report ?

The scenario is :
I hv database named "ABC"
contains TBLCUSTOMER (CustomerID, CustomerName, Address)

I hv a Form, named "Form1"
contains button "btnPreview"

I want to do is :
When "btnPreview" clicked, I want to passing the data table (dt) for customername like 'J%' to preview

I try put some code to btnPreview as shown :
Public dt As DataTable
Public da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter

da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("select * from tblCustomer where customerid like 'J%'", pCnn2AppDB)

dt = New DataTable()
da.Fill(dt)

Dim rpt As New Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport
rpt.Load("c:\test.mrt")

rpt.RegData("dt", dt)


rpt.Show()

from above code, the report will shown all the data, but I just want to show for CustomerName like 'J%'

Please show me the code & guide me step by step.

or maybe I'm wrong in creating TEST.MRT ???
When creating TEST.MRT, I create Connection, named dt, also creating datasource named it as dt

NOTE : Actually I want attach TEST.MRT, but I don't how to attach it witihin this forum.

Steven

In this case you can use 'Data from DataSets, DataTables' Datasource (you got this answer also in another topic).

Please check "SimpleProject" example in attachment. In this example you can send CustomerName to report via Variable.

Thank you.

In "SimpleProject" example, CustomerName is passed to the report's variable, and then passed to the DataBand's filter.

If you want passing run-time query to the report template, please use next code, for example:
Thank you.

Hi,

My friend told me add some code at the end of my previous posted code as :

rpt.Dictionary.Synchronize()
rpt.Dictionary.DataSources(0).Name = "dt"
rpt.Dictionary.DataSources(0).Alias = "dt"

rpt.Show()

But It's not work, why ?

I don't hv any help about dictionary ?
