Hi,

I'm within an MVC project, and I'd like to generate a PDF with the data contained into my Model. So I've created a Report using Telerik Reporting, and now I'd like to link it with my MVC Model.

The render is easy:

ReportRegistration reportRegistration = new ReportRegistration();
string fileName = @"C:\ReportRegistration.pdf";
 
ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = reportRegistration;
RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, null);
 
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create))
{
    fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
}

 

but how do I bind data in that model to the designer? For example, in Attach the Designer I have. I'd like to use the data inside BusinessName member variabile inside my Model. Tried ObjectDataResorce but when I double click, Visual Studio crash.

Thanks

I'm still not able to bind data from MVC.

I've imported an ObjectDataSource, linked to my ViewModel's RegistrationsViewModels. Here's the code:

 

ReportRegistration reportRegistration = new ReportRegistration();
reportRegistration.DataSource = registration; // current ViewModel, contains data, such as BusinessName = "MyAgency"
 
string fileName = @"C:\ReportRegistration.pdf";
 
ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource = new InstanceReportSource();
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = reportRegistration;
RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, null);
 
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create))
{
    fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
}

 

It renders correct the PDF, but the data when rendering is not available, and "= Fields.BusinessName" print "". Where am I wrong please?

EDIT: It seems correctly linked (if I do a default init value such as public string BusinessName { get; set; } = "Test12345X" I can see the correct field printed in the Preview).

Why isn't the PDF exporting correct? I follow this tutorial: https://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/styling-and-formatting-reports/details/saving-a-report-into-pdf-format-programmatically

Can't see the value Test12345X printed in the PDF as well...

I fixed it as well! The "width" of the document was too large of some cm, and PDF cut the fields over that size! Thanks anyway!
