Printing RDLC on client-side - vb.net

I tried to print an RDLC upon a button click. I followed this walkthrough: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/ms252091(v=vs.140). It worked well in localhost but when I uploaded it on the server, it is not printing. I read many articles about this and I tried most of it but I can't get a work-around. This is my first time and I really need help on this matter. If possible, I really need the actual codes to print the RDLC on the client-side. Thank you.

ActiveReports 7 Section Document Printing All Blank

I'm using ActiveReports 7 PRO and cannot get the reports to print correctly. It sends the document to the printer however it's all blank. I'm needing to print a bunch of reports in a loop so I'm looking to do this all programmatically. Here's the code I'm currently using after the DataSource is set, etc:
rptPT.Run(True)
rptPT.Document.Printer.Print()
I can't seem to load it into a viewer in the loop and print it that way (nor do I want to) because it tells me that the report has not been loaded fully. Like I said, it prints, however it's just a blank page with nothing on it. Also: if I export it to a PDF everything is fine in the PDF document.
Thanks!

Print preview of my web page to pdf and save it on server side programmatically

I have a deceitfully difficult problem which I had thought it was easy one at the beginning and yet I have spent more than 3 days on and off in total.
what I simply need to do is to save the print preview of the page to PDF file on server side from code behind initiating by a button click.
I was expecting using an open source and then I thought there would be a code like xyzopencode.savepasgeaspdf(path) but I could not find it. I got really close to solution by saving the PDF but then I realized it did not save the picture it only saved the strings.
I tried the pdfsharp but as long as I see it draws the whole thing from scratch and I am nor sure if I can do it.
The reason I need picture compatible one is I have 3rd party signature controller on my page and my couple of attempts worked without them or any picture but when I added pictures they failed to show to picture or did not create the PDF at all. The perfect solution would be just saving what ever shows up in the print preview as PDF, just like the built in feature of Google chrome (but on server side).

Print page of information in vb.net

I'm building an application that takes information I pull from a web service and builds it into a simple looking page to print out. Is their a way to make some kind of layout so i can just fill in the blanks with my data in the appropriate places and print. Specifically I want to be able to print a page that includes multiple images and text arranged in a specific manner.
Yes, there is. Crystal Report is the answer.
There's Crystal Report and also RDLC that you can use.

How to export Gantt view to pdf?

I am using openerp 6.1 and I have created a project in which I have my phases and tasks in each phase.
I would like to print the gantt chart but there is no option there. Please advice how I can get this done.
Their is default way out to have it on PDf but what you can always do is prepare one report to plot that report on pdf like Burn-down chart you have on project_scrum module, Using Pychart and reportlib engine, and you can produce effective result, or you can take moden web browser screen shot utility at the end.
Thank You
I agree, there really should be print / PDF buttons for every page to save the current view :(
There are 2 workaround options I can think of:
Use reporting to generate your own report of the chart (I would suggest using the webkit_report)
Print the HTML view to PDF.. ie, capture the html code of the view and print it, or send to another system to convert to PDF (using wkhtmltopdf). I have an example here that might help you: http://timothysolomon.co.za/work/openerp-printing-with-javascript/
Good luck, maybe in version 7 they will have this by default.

SSRS 2008 -- Data Missing when run in BIDS mode

I am having a really weird issue with a report built in SSRS 2008. When the report is set to export as a PDF, all data fields are showing up properly on each page as intended. However when the report is run in BIDS mode or exported to Word/CSV/Excel formats there are several data fields that show up as a blank.
One weird thing Ive noticed is that if I set the data fields that are missing as First(Fields!datafield.value) instead of Fields!Datafield.value then they will show up.
Has anyone ever seen any instances of this happening or have any ideas how to correct this issue without redoing the report? I can include the .rdl file if that would help.
Thanks!
I've seen something similar when coloring fonts. The pdf export didn't pick up all the formatting. Check to make sure that your visibility and color settings for the fields in question are what you expect. Try setting those all to default to see if that fixes the issue.
