Microsoft WebForms ReportViewer cancel rendering - reportviewer

In my application I am using a ReportViewer. The application is webbased application and hence I used Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms (v 9.0.0.0) namespace and the reportviewer from that namespace. My problem is to stop rendering/cancel the report in a click of a button.
In Winforms the same mechanism can be done by CancelRendering method. Could anyone tell me how to stop the rendering of reportviewer / cancel the loading of report viewer in webforms.
Thanks in advance.

reportViewer.Reset() done the trick!

WinForms ShowInTaskbar=False vs Tabbing between applications

I have a WinForms application (VB.Net), where I have set ShowInTaskbar=False for all forms except the main form. This is because all other forms are dialog windows of some sort, and I did not want them to show up separately in the task bar.
What I see now is that when no dialog is open in my application and I use Alt+Tab keys to tab between currently open applications, I don't see a tile for my application. I do see a tile when there is a dialog open. This is very counter-intuitive to me.
As I said earlier, ShowInTaskbar property is true for my main form. What else is required? Thanks for your help!
After further research, I found that my problem was being caused due to having the form border as FixedToolWindow and ShowInTaskbar=False on the dialog windows. I changed the form border to FixedDialog, and set MaximizeButton=False, MinimizeButton=False. That fixed the issue.

Excel process thread hiJacks KeyBoard strokes

We have a Developed a VSTO Add-In (Excel Add-In) Application with couple of Buttons in the Ribbon.
On Starting/launching the Application, It launches excel Instance. On the Button Click We are instantiating the WPF window having some Input Textboxes for the user to Enter the Values.
The Issue here is When we try to type in the Textboxes, It types it in the Excel window.
The Wpf window runs under the same process of the Add-In which is (Excel Process).
could you please suggest a solution foe this issue.
THANKS

I'd suggest running a Windows form instead. Or you can try to place your WPF controls on the Windows form. Does it work as expected?

VS2010 VB.NET Winforms select startup form programmatically

I'm really struggling to find out how to dynamically load a form when starting a VB.NET winforms application in VS2010.
Looking at existing answers such as this: Programmatically change the startup form on application launch?
Has not helped. I do not have a main method (that I can see) in my winforms project and when I go into the project properties I can only select a start-up form. But I have one of two forms to display on start-up depending on the user accessing the application.
I tried to set a loading form up which, in it's load event would call .Show() on the correct loading form after it had determined it and then the loading form would close itself down, but doing this led to both forms being closed.
Below are steps for VS2010 VB.NET Winforms select startup form programmatically.
1 : Go to My project from Solution Explorer
2 : Click on Application Tab--->Uncheck Enable application Framework
3 : Then Inside module create Sub like this
Public Sub Main()
MsgBox("called Main") 'This is testing
Login.Show() 'Set your start up form here
End Sub
4 : Again My Project--->Application Tab--->Startup Object--->Sub Main
5 : Thats it, It will give you message box and will show Login form.
Hope It will help you.
Thanks

Nevermind. I found in the properties a button to generate the MyApplication class in which I can access the startup event.
Another option is to use an MDI form. When it loads you can determine which child form to display.
Using Sub Main is the way I have done this forever but for some reason, MS has decided to make the norm, difficult. To use the Sub Main way, create a "Module" if you dont already have one. Put this code in there:
Sub Main()
Stop
End Sub
Now, in your project properties, assuming your are doing a standard WinForms application, on the "Application" tab, uncheck the "Enable Application Framework". This will allow you to see (and select) "Sub Main" in the "Startup Object" drop-down.

Reportviewer1 not showing on vb 2010 express windows form application?

why does Reportviewer1 controls/toolbars not showing on vb 2010 express windows form application on my machine?
I have the Reportviewer.exe redistributable 2010 installed on my machine but every time I drag a reportviewer1 control on my form, nothing happens, I mean, nothing seen on my application form. Please help, I'm stuck and hopeless. :(
Thanks.
Go on your .Designer.vb page and type/paste this code into the source view...
//
//ReportViewer1
//
Me.ReportViewer1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, -1)
Me.ReportViewer1.Name = "ReportViewer1"
Me.ReportViewer1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(396, 246)
Me.ReportViewer1.TabIndex = 0
this should force your the declaration of a ReportViewer into your form.
EDIT :
While looking back at your question, do you have an icon for Reporting into your ToolBox? If so does a ReportViewer Object appears? If not you have to add it from VS2010 : Tools/ChooseToolboxItem/ and .NET framework componant. (maybe also elsewhere but mostly in this case) Choose any CrystalReport element you need.

Loading a Vb.net control inside a VB 6 form

I have a user control in vb.net application.
and i have a form in vb 6.
so in my vb.net applciation to this user control i need to mention the vb 6 form as its parent.
Means when i run a vb6 application i should see this user control as a part of that form.
Ahy help appreciated.
Take a look at the COM interop Toolkit.
It allows you to easily create com-visible .NET usercontrols, which can be used in VB6 for instance.
You can try saving it as a dom object in .net
After this, you can open it in vb6 in the menu components.
I've done it with guid class of .net but i donĀ“t know what you and to do, but i think you should try it.
It is actually fairly easy to add some plumbing to a VB.NET User control to expose it via COM as an ActiveX control that can be used by VB6 and other COM clients.
Here is an article describing how to do that:
