Request is not available in this context

Hello.

After finding that the StiWebViewer toolbar options do not work inside an update panel, I read that it might be possible to use ajax to load the report.

I initialise the viewer with this:

Code: Select all

<Sti:StiWebViewer ID="viewer" runat="server" Theme="Office2010" CacheMode="Page" RenderMode="AjaxWithCache" />

I created a web method to run the report, and used jquery ajax to post to the web method, and it works fine up until I hit this line of code:

Code: Select all

this.viewer.ProcessReport();

This causes the following exception:

Code: Select all

Message":"Request is not available in this context",
"StackTrace":"   at System.Web.UI.Page.get_Request()

at Application.Reports.RunReport(Int32 reportID) in Reports.aspx.cs:line 176",
"ExceptionType":"System.Web.HttpException"

I wonder if you could tell me if it is possible to load a report using ajax only (so not requiring a page reload)? If there is a way to get it working inside an update panel, then this would also be fine.

Cheers,
Josh.

Hello.

You don't need ProcessReport() method.
You should just pass your report the Report property of the StiWebViewer.

Thank you.
