Print Grid from ArrayList of objects

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to do something similar to the print grid example except I do not have a dataview. My grid is bound to an arraylist of objects.
It looks like I would need to change the following 2 lines:
Databand.DataSourceName
DataText.Text.Value
Do you have an example that uses a custom object and builds the report on the fly?
Thanks,
Aspen

You can see following sample:
Code: Select all
public class BusinessEntity
{
private string name;
public string Name
{
get
{
return name;
}
set
{
name = value;
}
}
private string alias;
public string Alias
{
get
{
return alias;
}
set
{
alias = value;
}
}
public BusinessEntity(string name, string alias)
{
this.name = name;
this.alias = alias;
}
}
private ArrayList list = null;
private void FillBusinessObject()
{
list = new ArrayList();
list.Add(new BusinessEntity("name1", "alias1"));
list.Add(new BusinessEntity("name2", "alias2"));
list.Add(new BusinessEntity("name3", "alias3"));
}
private void PrintDataGrid(DataGrid sender)
{
StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.ScriptLanguage = StiReportLanguageType.CSharp;
//Add data to datastore
report.RegData("MyList", list);
//Fill dictionary
report.Dictionary.Synchronize();
StiPage page = report.Pages.Items[0];
//Create HeaderBand
StiHeaderBand headerBand = new StiHeaderBand();
headerBand.Name = "HeaderBand";
page.Components.Add(headerBand);
//Create Dataaband
StiDataBand dataBand = new StiDataBand();
dataBand.DataSourceName = "MyList";
dataBand.Height = 0.5f;
dataBand.Name = "DataBand";
page.Components.Add(dataBand);
StiDataSource dataSource = report.Dictionary.DataSources[0];
//Create texts
Double pos = 0;
Double columnWidth = StiAlignValue.AlignToMinGrid(page.Width / dataSource.Columns.Count, 0.1, true);
int nameIndex = 1;
foreach (StiDataColumn column in dataSource.Columns)
{
if (column.Name == "_ID" || column.Name == "_Current")continue;
//Create text on header
StiText headerText = new StiText(new RectangleD(pos, 0, columnWidth, 0.5f));
headerText.Text.Value = column.Name;
headerText.HorAlignment = StiTextHorAlignment.Center;
headerText.Name = "HeaderText" + nameIndex.ToString();
headerText.Brush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.LightGreen);
headerText.Border.Side = StiBorderSides.All;
headerBand.Components.Add(headerText);
//Create text on Data Band
StiText dataText = new StiText(new RectangleD(pos, 0, columnWidth, 0.5f));
dataText.Text.Value = "{MyList." + column.Name + "}";
dataText.Name = "DataText" + nameIndex.ToString();
dataText.Border.Side = StiBorderSides.All;
//Add highlight
dataText.HighlightCondition.Brush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.CornflowerBlue);
dataText.HighlightCondition.TextBrush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.Black);
dataText.HighlightCondition.Condition.Value = "(Line & 1) == 1";
//uncomment this line for VB.Net
//dataText.HighlightCondition.Condition.Value = "(Line And 1) = 1";
dataBand.Components.Add(dataText);
pos += columnWidth;
nameIndex ++;
}
//Create FooterBand
StiFooterBand footerBand = new StiFooterBand();
footerBand.Height = 0.5f;
footerBand.Name = "FooterBand";
page.Components.Add(footerBand);
//Create text on footer
StiText footerText = new StiText(new RectangleD(0, 0, page.Width, 0.5f));
footerText.Text.Value = "Count - {Count()}";
footerText.HorAlignment = StiTextHorAlignment.Right;
footerText.Name = "FooterText";
footerText.Brush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.LightGreen);
footerBand.Components.Add(footerText);
//Render without progress bar
report.Render(false);
report.Show();
//For checking created report you can uncomment this line
//report.Design();
}
