How to catch report error before printing the report?

[Tursunkhuja]

Hi,

When processing report, an error can occur. Report error can be different. For example:

• When a report has OData connection and if the OData request doesn't execute successfully (see "ErrorWhenODataRequestIsNotSuccess.PNG" attached file).
• When a report shows error while processing report item (for example, when we bind wrong parameter name to TextBox. See "Error while processing report item.PNG" attached file)
• etc.

When we print the report (or export to PDF file), it will continue printing the report which has an error in its content (see Print report with error.PNG file). The question is, how we should catch the report error before start printing? We use HTML5 report viewer to show report, we use Syncfusion package to print pdf format of our report, and also in backend side implemented our customer report resolver. We don't require printing wrong report. But, we want to do some actions before printing wrong report.

Thank you,

Hello Tursunkhuja,

Indeed, when there is an error in the rendering of a report item, it will be replaced by a red error message. This is by design and the purpose is to show to the user that there is a problem with a particular item.

In order to catch and process Report errors, you need to use the Report.Error Event. I suggest the KB article Error handling in Reports and Report Viewers for more details.
