I need a feature that i'm not sure yet exists.
We have a service that every fixed amount of time examine a table and, reading the data, execute one of our reports using your engine.
The previous solution was based on Crystal Report and we saved the computed report in .rpt format, so lately we used our web interface to show the report with Crystal Report Viewer and let the user decide out to export the report itself (pdf, csv, and so on)

With your report engine, i haven't find a solution to this problem because it seems that the report viewer accept only an in memory report elaboration, am i wrong?

temporally now i'm saving the report directly in PDF format and when an user want to see a report i transmit the file but as i described below, that's not what we want.

Is possible to store a computed report in a format that we can use later to load in your viewer?

I can think about serialize the Report class in a file and later read it back and load it in the viewer but i'm not sure it's possible, can you help me?
thanks
