  Requirements
  Telerik Reporting version	Q2 2009 SP1+
  .NET version	2.0 +
  Visual Studio version	VS2005+
  programming language	C#
  To convert code	Telerik online converter

  
  PROJECT DESCRIPTION
  The Report Viewers (Win and Web) do not support sending of reports via e-mail out-of-the-box. To mail a report you have to first render the report into a convenient format and then attach it to a mail message. Here is a possible way of how to achieve this by using the SmtpClient object:
  

  void MailReport(Telerik.Reporting.Report report, string from, string to, string subject, string body)

         {

             ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();

             RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", report, null);

   

             MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(result.DocumentBytes);

             ms.Position = 0;

   

             Attachment attachment = new Attachment(ms, report.Name + ".pdf");

             MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);

             msg.Attachments.Add(attachment);

             //smtp host is the name or IP of the host computer used for sending the email

             string smtpHost = "255.255.255.0";

             SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(smtpHost);

             client.Send(msg);

         }

  You can find attached a sample project that shows the above code in action.

  Hello guys,
  
  Things have changed in the Q2 2012 version of Telerik Reporting, so please check the respective help article for Exporting Reports Programmatically. Using the snippet in the article the way to provide parameters to the report is the following:
  
  

  Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor =

      new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();

   

  // set any deviceInfo settings if necessary

  System.Collections.Hashtable deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();

   

  Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource =

      new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();

   

  instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = report1;

   

  // "OrderNumber" is the name of the parameter and "SO43659" is the default value

  instanceReportSource.Parameters.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("OrderNumber", "SO43659"));

   

  Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result =

      reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, deviceInfo);

   

  // The rest of the snippet goes here

  
  @Justin - scheduling and email sending cannot be initiated from the viewer. Please review carefully this post which elaborates on the available solution.
  
  All the best,
  Steve
