Hi

I am attempting to generate telerik reports from a windows serive server.  Would like to end up with PDF reports saved on disk with no human interation.  I am trying to dig up code that will do this.  Has anyone already done this ?  Any examples or advice is very welcome.

Kind Regards

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

Currently Telerik Reporting does not implement the Report server functionality, but you can build such a server.

In order to export programmatically all the reports in a specific format you should follow the guidelines in our product documentation - I think the following topics will help you to achieve your goal:
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,

This post dates back 2008, can server side report scheduling be done? So there is no need for a client to start the report, the server can schedule and start a report autonomously

Hi Adrian,

Telerik Reporting is an embedded reporting solution and doesn't support out of the box report scheduling or batch processing, however it can be easily implemented. To export a report, you can use the RenderReport method of the ReportProcessor class. This method converts the contents of the report to a byte array in the specified format, which you can then use with other classes such as MemoryStream or FileStream. More information is available in Exporting Report Programmatically help article.

All the best,
Steve
