How to load report by specific path/directory?

[LIOW]

Hi,

For crystal report, we have a function call .Load(...) to load report by specific path,
eg:

 

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oRpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();

 

 

 

oRpt.Load(D:\Project Source Code\MCS2011\CRReason.rpt);

Is that any similar function like .Load(...) method for telerik reporting?

Hi Liow,

We've answered your inquiry in the support thread you have opened. Here is the answer:

Telerik Reports are normal .NET types, thus they are part of assemblies. In order to load the reports you have to use reflection as shown in the following code snippet:

Copy Code

Type reportType = Type.GetType(reportName);
IReportDocument report = (IReportDocument)Activator.CreateInstance(reportType);

However if you prefer to serialize to XML and deserialize the report definition, check out the Serializing Report Definition in XML help article.

Kind regards,
Steve
