I've looked through other posts, and I think I'm doing this correctly...but I must be missing something. I have a report that I created within VS2015 using 2018 R2. I don't want to show the report in a viewer. When I click a button, I have it rendering straight to a PDF. I only want the report to show info for the record I'm on in the application, so I created a parameter. When I pass the parameter, it doesn't use what I'm passing. Maybe I'm not understanding parameters. I want the report to pull info using the following SQL: select id, employee_id, employ_badge from employee where id = @id. (this is an example of what I want). I've included the code below. What am I missing? Am I loading the report wrong? Have I misunderstood parameters? Also, how do I set the datasource in the code behind? I've looked at the example that attached with a similar post and it looks like what I have.

protected void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
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.TypeReportSource typeReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.TypeReportSource();
// reportName is the Assembly Qualified Name of the report
typeReportSource.TypeName = typeof(Report1).AssemblyQualifiedName;
int RowID = Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["FORMROWID"]);
typeReportSource.Parameters.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("id", RowID));

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", typeReportSource, deviceInfo);
string fileName = result.DocumentName + "." + result.Extension;
string path = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(path, fileName);
using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(filePath, System.IO.FileMode.Create))
{
fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
}
WebClient User = new WebClient();
Byte[] FileBuffer = User.DownloadData(filePath);
if (FileBuffer != null)
{
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", FileBuffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(FileBuffer);
}
}

Hi Kenneth,

I suspect that the SqlDataSource parameter (@id) is not linked to the corresponding Report Parameter (id). We strongly recommend to do this in the report definition - check the attached screenshot for clearance. You may go through Using Parameters with the SqlDataSource component help article for more details and examples.

We do *not* recommend to set the DataSource of a Report or data item in the code behind, as this is part of the report definition. We provide other tools for dynamically modifying the layout/data source properties of a report - for example with Bindings. The SqlDataSource connection string and query can also be modified run time based on report parameters - check Change Connection String dynamically through a report parameter KB article.
If setting DataSource through code is necessary, you should instantiate/deserialize the report, change/set the data source and wrap the modified report in an InstanceReportSource to pass it to the report processor.

Regards,
Todor
