Assign a report dynamically to a reportViewer via code

[Shirya]

Hello, 
(sorry if my english isn't  good, i'll try to explain as clear as possible)
When i want to assign a report to a report viewer via code, i do it like that:

Me.ReportViewer1.report = new ReferenceReport.Report1

ReferenceReport is my dll, who contains report1, report2 and report 3

In my form, i have a combobox that let you choose between Report1, report2, report3. So you can view the report you want
So here is my problem: how can i assign the right report to my reportViewer (via Code)
with the Winforms.ReportViewer i could do this by changing the reporPath, but with telerik reportViewer, i don't know how.. Can you help me?
thanx,
i hope i was clear enough

Hello Shirya,

You can use exactly the same code to change the Report shown in the ReportViewer. What is also needed for the Win ReportViewer is calling the RefreshReport() method that would show the report in the viewer automatically. Otherwise you would have to click on the Refresh button in the ReportViewer in order to see the newly loaded report.

Hello,
Thank you for the answer.
But what I wanted to know was if there is a way to do it dynamically.
In the future, i will have many reports, and i don't want something like that:

If the user select report1
        ReportViewer.report = new ReferenceReport.Report1

If the user select report2
        ReportViewer.report = new ReferenceReport.Report2

If the user select report3
        ReportViewer.report = new ReferenceReport.Report3

...
If I have 100 reports it's becoming heavy.

I think I found something with the Reflection.Assembly:

Dim extAssembly As Assembly Assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(currentDirectory + "\ReferenceReport.dll")
Dim test As Telerik.Reporting.Report = extAssembly.CreateInstance("ReferenceReport." + cbReports.SelectedText, True)

Me.ReportViewer.Report = test

Or is there another way? more "clean"?

Hi Shirya,

This is a good solution as long as you're not going to host your app/site in a limited trust environment.
