I created a Web API that implements a custom Report provider so that way Im able to set dynamic recordset on server side.
This is my custom report provider
public class ReportDataProvider : ReportProvider
{
public string ReportPath { get; private set; }
public string ReportName { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Constructor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">The path of report</param>
/// <param name="reportName">The name of report</param>
public ReportDataProvider(string path, string reportName)
{
ReportPath = path;
ReportName = reportName;
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets catalog info of the specified path.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="providerName">The key used to register the provider.</param>
/// <param name="path">The relative path of the folder or report.</param>
/// <param name="recursive">Whether to return the entire tree of child items below the specified item.</param>
/// <param name="args">The collection of HTTP query string variables.</param>
/// <returns>A <see cref="CatalogItem"/> object.</returns>
public override CatalogItem GetCatalogItem(string providerName, string path, bool recursive, NameValueCollection args = null)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates the document for the specified report path.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">The relative path of the report, without the registered key for the report provider.</param>
/// <param name="args">The collection of HTTP query string variables.</param>
/// <returns>A <see cref="C1DocumentSource"/> created for the specified path.</returns>
protected override C1DocumentSource CreateDocument(string path, NameValueCollection args)
{
// in this sample, the path is "ReportsRoot/DataSourceInMemory.flxr/Simple List".
var report = new C1FlexReport();
report.Load(ReportPath, ReportName);
UpdateDataSource(report, args);
return report;
}
private void UpdateDataSource(C1FlexReport report, NameValueCollection args)
{
if (report == null || args == null) return;
var dataSource = args["dataSource"];
report.DataSourceName = dataSource;
}
}
And in my Startup.cs I set it like this:
app.UseReportProviders().Add("memoryreports", new ReportDataProvider(GetFullRoot("ReportsRoot") + "\\DataBinding\\Nwind.flxr", "Invoice"));
What I need is that instead of passing a hardcoded report I can get the report name in my report provider.
Right now the only way I think to do this is by parsing the path variable in:
protected override C1DocumentSource CreateDocument(string path, NameValueCollection args)
Any clue on how to get the report file and report name in the Report provider?
