Export to .pdf directly (without using the web report viewer)?

[andy]

Can the report ouputs be sent directly to .pdf without using the web report viewer?

Thanks!

Hi Andy,

You can export reports directly to PDF. To export a report directly, you can use the RenderReport method of the ReportProcessor class. This method converts the contents of the report to a byte array in the specified format, which you can then use with other classes such as MemoryStream or FileStream. You may find useful Exporting Report Programmatically help article.

Hi,

I am trying to do the same thing in Silverlight, and I have taken a look at the following thread:

http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/exporting-report-programmatically-in-silverlight.html

However, I need to pass few Report Parameters from the client, according to which the report would be generated. When using a reportviewer, I use to do it in the RenderBegin event. I don't get how do I set the parameters in the present scenario, where we use a ReportServiceClient.

Thanks,
Adi

Actaully, never mind, I figured that it could be done through passing NameValueDictionary in the RenderAsync Call.
