Load Reports
To load and display a Page, RDLX, and Section report output using the Viewer control in the Windows Forms application.
- Create a new Windows Forms application in Visual Studio.
- From the Visual Studio toolbox, drag the Viewer control onto your Windows Form Designer.
- Set the viewer's Dock property to Fill to show the complete Viewer control on the Form.
- Double-click the title bar of the Form to create an event-handling method for the Form_Load event.
- In the Form_Load event, add the code as follows to run the report and display it in the viewer.
Load Page/RDLX report
string file_name = @"..\..\ReportName.rdlx";
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport pageReport = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(new System.IO.FileInfo(file_name));
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument pageDocument = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport);
viewer1.LoadDocument(pageDocument);
Dim file_name As String = "..\..\ReportName.rdlx"
Dim pageReport As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(New System.IO.FileInfo(file_name))
Dim pageDocument As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport)
Viewer1.LoadDocument(pageDocument)
Load Code-based Section Report
SectionReport1 sectionReport = new SectionReport1();
viewer1.LoadDocument(sectionReport);
Dim sectionReport As New SectionReport1()
Viewer1.LoadDocument(sectionReport)
Load Xml-based Section Report
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport sectionReport = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport();
System.Xml.XmlTextReader xtr = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(@"..\..\SectionReport1.rpx");
sectionReport.LoadLayout(xtr);
xtr.Close();
viewer1.LoadDocument(sectionReport);
Dim sectionReport As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport()
Dim xtr As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("..\..\SectionReport1.rpx")
sectionReport.LoadLayout(xtr)
xtr.Close()
Viewer1.LoadDocument(sectionReport)
