Generate PDF and send in email from code behind

[rmoynihan]

Hi,

Is it possible to generate a report from code behind and then send this pdf as an email.

I would like to achieve this without the user having to generate the report so I would need to do it using the api.

The scenario is if a user clicks a button 3 reports will get generated and sent to the user;s email address.
I want to do this on the fly.

I guess I might have to save the generated pdf in a temp folder while I send the email and then delete the reports.

Thanks,

Ronan

Hi rmoynihan,

As a new user to Telerik Reporting, we highly recommend that you visit the online resources linked below, before posting an inquiry:

Online examples

Online documentation

KB articles

Code library

Video Tutorials

Of course, you can browse the public forum as well in order to find specific information/code sample concerning an aspect of the Reporting features. There are numerous threads which can get you started/assist you through the development process.

As to your inquiry, please review the following posts:

• Saving a report into PDF format programmatically
• Send Telerik Report as email attachment

Note that the blog post uses the currently obsolete (as of Q2) Render() method, which should be replaced with the RenderReport() method from the first link.
Kind regards,
