How do I get a IReportDocument from a TRDX file?

[ANDRE]

I'm trying to follow these instructions to directly export reports from their definitions to the end file (Word or PDF) without passing through a viewer. This is the requirement of the application I'm doing.

I know how to obtain the PDF given the IReportDocument, but how do I get an IReportDocument from the TRDX file I just created using the Standalone builder?

Hello ANDRE,

You should deserialize the trdx file to a report definition that you can then use for the RenderReport method, for more info see Serializing Report Definition in XML. We would consider introducing an easier way to handle this for future versions.

Hi an immediate response needed would be much appreciated,
i have tdrx file and in the   ReportSource Resolve(string reportName) method i am deserializing the tdrx file into Report Object,how i can convert Report object into ReportSource so that can be returned from the Resolve method as we cannot return Report object from the Resolve method.

Hello Muhammad,

Generally in your case you don't have to deserialize the trdx report definition to report object instead our suggestion is to directly create an UriReportSource and pass the Uri to the trdx definition.

Hi,
i am setting up the ReportSourceUri and have the following problems,
1)call to resolve method in the clientservice comes twice
2)i am creating the trdx file on the fly .
3)at the end it throws exception 
Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.
4)this is how i am setting up the reportsource

  StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(listResult.Code + ".trdx");
            writer.Write(listResult.Template);
            writer.Close();
            UriReportSource reportSource = new UriReportSource();
           
            reportSource.Uri = listResult.Code + ".trdx";
            return reportSource;
this code successfully create and write contents at the following location

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\11.0

with kind regards

Hello Muhammad,

The resolve method by design is called every time the report service requires a new report definition instance. For example once to retrieve the report parameters definition and the second time to process the report. Generally our suggestion is to protect you resolve method implementation and based on the passed parameter to handle accordingly the report resolution.

If you still experience difficulties we will appreciate if you open a support thread and send us a sample project that exhibits the difficulties you are experiencing to review on our end.

All the best,
