pass a parameter to ActionGetReportSnapshot action?

I'm trying to write a generic GetReportSnapshot action, along the lines of:
Code: Select all
public ActionResult GetReportSnapshot(string ReportPath)
{
// Create the report object and load data
StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load(Server.MapPath(ReportPath));
return StiMvcViewerFxHelper.GetReportSnapshotResult(report, this.Request);
But, of course, I can't compel the StiMvcViewerFx control to pass a parameter to the GetReportSnapshot action. Any ideas how I might accomplish that? I don't want to have to write a new action for every single report in my application.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Hello,
Unfortunately, at this moment a viewer does not transfer any parameters when request the report. To save the report ID or other params, please try to use server session or cache, also you can use the URL routes:
Thank you.

Thanks, I'll make that work! It would be great to get access to the QueryString or some ad-hoc parameters, too, but no biggie.

I am also building a generic "getReportSnapshot" action, and could use an easier way to manage 'parameters'... thanks!

Hi, I'm running into the same issue with the StiMvcMobileViewer (mobile) version. Trying to load the report viewer via Ajax call from a main view and pass data to it based on the user selection in the main view. Ajax calls a controller method "LoadReportView" passing user selection data and then returns the partial view which contains @Html.Stimulsoft().StiMvcMobileViewer.
Now "GetReportSnapshot" method in the controller gets called automatically but the data passed from the previous step seems to be lost.
It would be nice to be able to pass data to StiMvcMobileViewer object.
For example:
@Html.Stimulsoft().StiMvcMobileViewer(new StiMvcMobileViewerOptions{
ActionGetReportSnapshot = "GetReportSnapshot",
GetReportSnapshotData = data
})

Hello.
As a way you could use a session for parameter passing.
For example, you could store data in the
LoadReportView method:
In the
GetReportSnapshot method you could read this data:
Thank you.

Yeah, I ended up using TempData which basically relies on session state until data is read from the dictionary.
