InstanceReportSource deprecated

[Andrea]

Hello, I noted that InstanceReportSource is now deprecated, what is wrong with instance report source?

Anyway, how can I replace this code that does not know anything about report parameters?

Looks like the TypeReportSource does not fills the parameters set, so that code should get parameters informations elsewhere?

string ReportLibrary = oRepLib.ToString();
string ReportName = oRepName.ToString();

Telerik.Reporting.Report report = WorkerWrapper.getTelerikReporting(ReportLibrary, ReportName);
foreach (var p in report.ReportParameters)
{
    object oParam ;
    if(!spoolRequest.TryGetParameter(p.Name, out oParam))
    {
        if(p.AllowNull == false)
            throw new InvalidOperationException("The parameter " +  p.Name + " is not optional on report " + ReportLibrary + "." + ReportName);
    }

    p.Value = oParam;
}

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();

System.Collections.Hashtable deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();

Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource reportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();


reportSource.ReportDocument = report;

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", reportSource, deviceInfo);

Hi Andrea,

The InstanceReportSource is not recommended for usage when you set a ReportSource for a SubReport, NavigateToReportAction in a Report Designer - this creates an additional report instance in the report that has to be maintained. Also the InstanceReportSource requires manual handling if the report will be displayed via Telerik Reporting Service e.g. How to display a report via InstanceReportSource in the HTML5 Viewer.

In your case, you are executing server-side code exporting programmatically a report, and the InstanceReportSource can be used without issues.

I was thinking i already marked your as the answer.

Ok good so in our case I can continue using instance report source.
