Saving report in PDF with default file name

[Gilles]

Hello,

I try to programmically set  the default file name of my PDF report export but it doesn't work well. I read, on this forum, I have to set the DocumentName of the Report. But it doesn't work. When the dialog box appeared after selecting "Acrobat (PDF) File" in the toolbox of the report viewer, the file name is empty.
I try to set the default file name in the designer, in the constructor, in the OnRenderBegin method, but the file name is still empty.

Is it a bug or I missed something ? I am using the ReportViewer in Silverlight 5 ( version : Telerik_Reporting_Q1_2012_v6_0_12_215) and I use a ReportService.svc file to generate the report.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Gilles,

The Silverlight report viewer is still build against Silverlight 4 where the SaveFileDialog doesn't have a default file name parameter. We see that this limitation has bee addressed in Silverlight 5, so once we upgrade you would be able to specify a default file name.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Thanks for your answer. I build my own export with a Silverlight button and using RenderAsync with "PDF" as parameter. So, now, I want to remove the export button from the viewer's toolbar. I found how to filter the export format but I did'nt find how to hide this button. Is it possible in Silverlight ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Gilles,

The Silverlight report viewer control is a template and you can use Blend to extract its template and modify it as necessary, for more info see Creating Style in Expression Blend help article.
General information on styling templated controls is available in the Styling a control that supports templates MSDN article.

I am trying to edit the ReportViewer template with blend 4 and it's not working. When I try to add the ReportViewer on an empty MainPage.xaml, I get an error message HR_RESULT E_FAIL with a COM componant.

I tryed with Blend 5 beta and I can add the ReportViewer to the MainPage.xaml but when I edit the ReportViewer template, the template is empty (ControlTemplate).

Any ideas ?

I just need to edit the template of the ReportViewer in Silverlight to hide the export button from the toolbar.

Hello Gilles,

I've attached the Silverlight viewer template that we extracted with Blend 4 directly from our examples. Let us know if you need further help.
