Streaming Reports from Server

Scott St.Cyr · Post by **Scott St.Cyr** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:48 pm

I am evaluating Stimulsoft to replace our Crystal Reports deployment. So far, it all looks good.

What we currently do with Crystal is:
(1) Generate the report on the server
(2) Save the report with the data
(3) Stream this file to the client
(4) Open the report in the Crystal viewer on the client

Is something like this possible with Stimulsoft.NET? What about Stimulsoft.Silverlight?

Alternately I think we would probably have to take this route:
(1) Generate the report on the server
(2) Save a PDF
(3) Stream this file to the client
(4) Open the PDF on the client

Is this a common approach, or am I missing a bigger picture?

Thanks,

Hello,

If we have understood your question correctly, you can do the same as in the Crystal. Also you can send .PDF file, there are size limits of a file.

Thank you.

We're looking at moving to Silverlight for displaying Stimulsoft reports.

Could you please post an example of how you can run a report on the server, and then stream the report to the Silverlight report viewer?

Thanks
