Hi Guys.
We are exporting the report to Excel from the Preview Window and they would like a new page triggered only during export. I have tried using the this.IsExporting, called from various events on the page with no luck.

Can i confirm that the report is not recompiled when exporting from the preview window? - that it exports as seen on screen?

Thanks
Simon

Hello, Simon.

Yes, the report is not recompiled when exporting. You could do any changes in report at the Exporting event of the report and call Render method.

Thank you.

Thanks Aleksey, Thats Great!

Hi Team,

We save the report some times as pdf or some times as excel or etc.
how do we detect the selected export type in the .net ExportReport endpoint ? i shared screenshot and .net server side code, currently the code supports Excel export only, i want to make it generic to support all the types which are in screenshot.

We are using below npm packges in angular
"stimulsoft-designer-angular": "2023.3.4",
"stimulsoft-viewer-angular": "2023.3.4",

for Server side we are using Stimulsoft.Reports.Angular.NetCore 2023.1.5.

public async Task<IActionResult> ExportReport()
{
var requestParams = StiAngularViewer.GetRequestParams(this);
if (requestParams.Action == StiAction.ExportReport)
{
StiReport report = StiAngularViewer.GetReportObject(this);
if (report != null)
{
report.ReportName = $"{report.ReportName}_{DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmm")}";
}
}

//var settings = new StiPdfExportSettings
//{
// UserAccessPrivileges = StiUserAccessPrivileges.All,
// EmbeddedFonts = false,
// UseUnicode = false,
// StandardPdfFonts = true
//};

var settings = new StiExcelExportSettings();

return await StiAngularViewer.ExportReportResultAsync(this, settings).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

Hello,

Sorry, we did not exactly understand your question. Could you explain your task in more detail?

Thank you.

Hi Lech,

Query 1
I want to know whether user exporting the report as pdf or excel or etc? i want to identify the export type in below .net ExportReport endpoint.


public IActionResult ExportReport()
{

// Some code before export

// ...

return StiAngularViewer.ExportReportResult(this);
}

Query 2
I also want to hide the export type HTML. but below options does not work. it still shows the HTML export type when viewing the report.

options.Exports.ShowExportToHtml = false;
options.Exports.ShowExportToHtml5 = false;

Hello,

We need some time to check this possibility, we will keep you informed about the outcome as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hello.
1.
In StiRequestParams object you will get necessary information
public IActionResult ExportReport()
{
var requestParams = StiAngularViewer.GetRequestParams(this);

2. Also you need to hide options.Exports.ShowExportToMht = false;
