Silverlight 5-Adding Reports in a ReportBook dynamically

[Adil]

Hi,

I am using Telerik Reporting Q3 2012 with Silverlight 5. I would like to add reports in a Report Book dynamically. Could you please tell is there any way that I can send Report Names from client to the server so that I can create their instance dynamically and add them into the report book, like,

string rptNames = “Rpt1,Rpt1”;
string[] names = rptNames.Split(‘,’);

            Type type = Type.GetType(names[0]);
            var o = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
             ReportBook.Reports.Add((Report)o);
…..

I want to send rptNames from the client and get it on the server.

Thanks!

Hi Adil,

You might do this by using a custom ReportResolver. Steps:

1. Send the names as a concatenated string
2. Implement IReportResolver 
3. In the Resolve method resolve the report names
4. Instantiate the reports, put the inside of a ReportBook
5. Serialize the ReportBook and save it to a .trdx file (save it for future requests)
6. Return UriReportSource pointing to the serialized ReportBook
7. Future requests to the Resolve method might send Uri's. Then you are expected to simply return the serialized report book (instead of performing the above logic).
