Report parameters

How can I pass parameters into a report from JavaScript?
We have a custom reporting system and parameters are extracted from the report and placed in a grid. Eventually the parameters will be hidden (RequestFromUser = false) from the actual report viewer control.
What I want to do is basically control the report much the same way as the existing controls do.

Hello,
Passing parameters to a report using Javascript is not provided. You can set the report parameters on the server side, passing them using the GET or POST requests.
Thank you.

How do your controls do it then? It's doesn't seem to cause a postback, or does it?
If I did pass in the variables say as parameters to the page, how do I set them against the report and then run the report? Do I just do stim_report[var] = ...?
Currently I do something like this:
Code: Select all
// Work out reports filename
string filename = Path.Combine(path,report.Path);
// Set up report viewer
StiReport stim_report = new StiReport();
stim_report.Load(filename);
stim_report.Compile();
#if !DEBUG
foreach(StiVariable v in stim_report.Dictionary.Variables.Items) v.RequestFromUser = false;
#endif
webViewer.Report = stim_report;

Hello,
You can set the parameters for the report as follows:
Code: Select all
StiReport stim_report = new StiReport();
stim_report.Load(filename);
stim_report.Compile();
stim_report["VarName1"] = value1;
stim_report["VarName2"] = value2;
stim_report.Render(false);
or:
Code: Select all
StiReport stim_report = new StiReport();
stim_report.Load(filename);
foreach(StiVariable v in stim_report.Dictionary.Variables)
{
v.RequestFromUser = false;
v.Value = somevalue;
}
stim_report.Compile();
stim_report.Render(false);
Thank you.
