Export Report Book Programmatically

[Shane Woodruff]

I want to programmatically export a report book, however this command fails when I try to compile with the error:

Error 6 Argument 2: cannot convert from 'Telerik.Reporting.ReportCollection' to 'Telerik.Reporting.ReportSource'

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult ReportOutput;

 

ReportOutput = reportProcessor.RenderReport("xls", RB,

 

null);

I've seen a ReportBook passed to the reportProcessor in other online examples, so I'm not sure why it's failing. I'm running 2012 Q2.

Hello Shane,

With the latest version of Telerik Reporting - 2012 Q2 - we have introduced the concept of the report sources. Thus our suggestion is to utilize an InstanceReportSource as elaborated in Exporting Report Programmatically help article and as shown in the following code snippet:

var instanceReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();

instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = reportBook;

var result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("XLS", instanceReportSource, deviceInfo);

All the best,
Peter
the Telerik team

Thank you Peter. I was able to figure this out using your referenced link.

Hello,
I created a report and I'm exporting it programmatically.  Here's the code

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

       Dim app As String = CType(Session.Item("App"), String)
       Dim deviceInfo As New System.Collections.Hashtable()

       Dim reportProcessor As New Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor()

       Dim ContactReports As New Telerik.Reporting.Report

       Dim instanceReportSource = New Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource()

       instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = New ContactReports.TestReport

       instanceReportSource.Parameters.Add(New Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("par_app", app))

       Dim result As Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, deviceInfo)

       Response.ContentType = "application/PDF"

       Response.BinaryWrite(result.DocumentBytes)

       Response.Flush()
       Response.End()
   End Sub

Everything works fine, but I would like to be able to create multiple reports of the same report, add them to a report book and export it.

I've seen a lot of posts and documentation, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Nvm, I figured it out!

Hi,

Just to verify for anyone interested. In the given code snippet you can replace the report instance (used by the InstanceReportSource) with an instance of a ReportBook.
