Hello,
I am using AR 11 version 11.2.11844.0 and PageReport which has Tablix Control.
The problem was exporting pagereport (excel or pdf or even loading in viewer or preview in designer) taking several hours.
Please see the attached sample application and run it. Notice the report displays in viewer after several hours and click on either Excel/Pdf export buttons, wait for several hours to complete the export process.
Where my report has tablix control, which has one row, one column and one data field with totals. My dataset is 250k of rows.
Change below statement (form1.cs) to use smaller dataset and notice report loads and exports without any issue.
var reportData = GetData("TestDataset_250k_rows.xml"); // change xml file - 1k or 10k rows
Also open the “testReport.rdlx” report in desinger and click on Preview. Notice preview also takes several hours to load the data.
Can you help me how to improve Excel/PDF export using larger datasets.
Currently i am generating the pagereport “.rdlx” dynamically (using code), setting the dataset (DataTable) at pageReport.Document.LocateDataSource += event and performing Excel/PDF/Text exports.
Is there any performance difference loading the report in to viewer first and then export, comparing to above dynamic report building and export. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Anwar
