I have two different project First is Windows Application and second is Report Project
So How can I view report in my First Project
Here's attached screenshot of Both Projects
RDL reports get installed in an instance of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) you then load the report into a ReportViewer control from that server. That's a subject too big to include in a single answer here and you should research it independently and then ask specific questions later if you have them.
If you want the reports to be part of your application itself then you need to create client reports - RDLC files - rather than server reports. There is a VS extension you can install for creating client reports, if that's what you want.
We are working on a web asp.net MVC based project that needs a web-based report builder. We have worked with the rdlc reports before, but, the designer is available only at design time. Is it possible to embed the rdl report designer into a web page? The user should be able to design, save and use the reports through the web page. If no, then are there any alternatives? preferably opensource or free. Also we are open to paid options if they are worth it.
We have tried searching on the topic but haven't been able to find a direction.
Kindly suggest
We're developing an ASP MVC web application for a company to monitor and correct incoming data from third parties, then preview a report output before being distributed to their own clients. We've made a prototype with the reports being generated as Crystal Reports through the application itself using CR for Visual Studio.
The client already has a Crystal Server for some internal reporting, we're wondering if we can hook into that so that all Crystal Reports are stored in the same place and save on duplication. We would need to expose a preview of the report in our application and then export the reports from the Crystal Server in PDF and Excel formats ready to be distributed.
Is that possible? I've found very little on the subject.
In case anybody comes back for the answer... We've managed to get this working by using the 'opendocument' url path feature and embedding it into the site using an iframe. Documentation is here.
I have been struggling with this issue for two years now. My problems are happening in Visual Studio 2013 (not a web server).
Occasionally, I have to take an RDLC file that was created by someone else and make changes to it. Using VS, I create an XSD file for the dataset, then replace the DataSource and DataSet in the RDLC so that the report now points to the tableadapter(s) in the XSD.
Often when I try to view the report in the ReportViewer form, the Report Data Source and Data Source Instance are blank. I've tried Rebind Data Sources, and I've cleaned and rebuilt the project, but I can't get the data source to show up. Sometimes the report will have a subreport, and that data source will be available if I choose that RDLC.
I'm a third party developer -- I'm not editing (and cannot edit) aspx files; just the reports. I've tried editing the code in Form.vb manually to insert the TableAdapter, but it hasn't worked, and I don't really know what I'm doing there -- I have some object-oriented programming experience, but not much.
What can I do to make the data source available to the report viewer and/or bind it to the RDLC? Any suggestions are appreciated. Please let me know if there's any particular code it would be useful to share.
Thank you.
I ended up doing the following, which solved the problem in this case. Not sure it's a solution that will work in all situations like this.
I replaced the opening Report tag in the XML of the RDLC with this:
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">
I removed the <ReportSections> and <ReportSection> tags, as they are not supported by the 2008 schema. I didn't remove anything that was between the tags.
After making these changes, the data source became available to the form, and I was able to preview the report.
We are planning on creating reports to be run on the same computer that the database application is running on.
Can you tell me which of these is the best approach? (SQL Server Reporting Services or creating a rdlc ReportViewer report)
Also I tried to locate detailed rdlc ReportViewer report tutorials both in books and online and found none. It's probably because I'm looking in the wrong places.
We are also using VB.Net as the language.
All help will be appreciated.
In a nutshell, .rdlc is the client version. You cannot host these on the report server. These reports do not know how to fetch the data, you MUST get the data yourself and pass it to the report. For this reason, you cannot even preview the report while designing. ReportViewer.ProccessingMode = Local
The .rdl or server reports know how to fetch the data. You configure the datasource and upload them to the report server. Because of this, you can preview the reports while designing them. You can use the web/desktop ReportViewer control to run the reports from inside your app...like a proxy between your application and the report server.ReportViewer.ProccessingMode = Remote
I prefer rdl for any sql datasource, but rdlc is also good for cases where your datasource is very complex or can only be built through the application code. I think there might be ways to configure an object datasource for rdl but I haven't looked into that yet.
