Reporting from C++

[Phil]

Is there any update on support for reporting from C++? Any plans for that?

Has anyone used the COM interop approach to create a typelib for the managed dll of the reporting engine or alternatively used CLI to call it from C++?

Hello Phil,

The list of .NET languages is too long to support it, thus our aim is to provide means for getting reports regardless language specifics.
The Reporting REST service is a step in this direction - you can host the service separately and communicate with it via series of requests depending on the desired result e.g. to get a document. If you prefer to use your own infrastructure, the created client can communicate with a remotely hosted service which returns the result of processing and rendering the report through a ReportProcessor.

In both cases reports can be retrieved in any of the supported formats.


I hope this information points you in the right direction.

Regards,
Stef
