Dynamic Compilation of Reports

[Stephane]

Hello,

I have a web site, and an aspx that includes a silverlight application using telerik:ReportViewer.
The aspx gives it the Report name to use ("ProjectReport" for instance), and the silverlight do something like this :

ReportViewer.Report = String.Format("ReportService.{0}, ReportService, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", App.Current.Resources["Report"]);

 

 Moreover, a user can upload report files (ie: Fubar.cs Fubar.Designer.cs Fubar.resx) to the website, and can wish to see it directly in the website. (and all other connected users too)

My question : is that possible (without reboot of the application I mean) ? Because currently, the reports are in a web application (for namespaces), so, no live compilation, so the uploaded reports are not found by the ReportService. Is it possible to do something like this ?

Thanks you,

Stephane

Do you think MEF could resolve my problem ?

The reports should be separated in a class library that is referenced in your web application (Telerik best practices). This means that a recompilation of the project is required in order to reflect any new reports, since the class library is not uploaded to the server, but you upload the class library assembly in the bin folder of the web application.

Cheers!
