The C1ReportViewer can show any report or document that can be generated by C1Report. This is specified via the following three public properties on the viewer:

• FileName: Gets or sets the report or document file name.
• ReportName: Gets or sets the name of the report.

The FileName and ReportName properties can be set at design time.

The following kinds of documents can be shown by the C1ReportViewer control:

• A C1Report loaded from an XML file (such as the reports in the CommonTasks.xml sample shipped with C1Report). To specify this type of document, the FileName and ReportName properties should be assigned. For example:

  To write code in Visual Basic

  Visual Basic	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/CommonTasks.xml" C1ReportViewer1.ReportName = "Greenbar Report"

  To write code in C#

  C#	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/CommonTasks.xml"; C1ReportViewer1.ReportName = "Greenbar Report";

• A C1PrintDocument loaded from a C1D or C1DX file. To specify this, the FileName property should be set to the name of the .c1d/.c1dx file, for example:

  To write code in Visual Basic

  Visual Basic	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/MyDocument.c1dx"

  To write code in C#

  C#	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/MyDocument.c1dx";

• An RDL report loaded from an RDL report definition file. For example:

  To write code in Visual Basic

  Visual Basic	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/MyRdlReport.rdl"

  To write code in C#

  C#	Copy Code
  C1ReportViewer1.FileName = "~/MyRdlReport.rdl";
