Cancel Report Generation

[Paul]

Is there anyway to cancel a report being generated with RenderReport?  For example, we are creating a PDF of a report that takes some time to finish.  Is there any asynchronous ways of creating the report such that we can cancel its execution? 

 

I saw a post on here a few years ago that it couldn't be canceled, but I'm hoping something has been done since then to change this.  Thanks for any guidance.

Example:

ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();                      

ReportLibrary.TestReport report = new ReportLibrary.TestReport();                                               InstanceReportSource reportSource = new InstanceReportSource();                         

reportSource.ReportDocument = report;                         

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

Hi Paul,

Currently, the generation of a report cannot be cancelled.

A possible workaround is to run the ReportProcessor in a separate thread, and kill the thread based on some custom condition (i.e. after some time).
