    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!
