Straight to PDF with params?

[Geoff]

Hi there

I have seen the example on how to output reports straight to PDF but have a question....

Is it possible to send parameters using this method?

I would like to allow the user to 'run' the report but output straight to PDF - which I can do - but I do not know how to add a parameter in this context.

Can it be done?

Hi Geoff,

Check out the following code snippet that illustrates how to set the report parameter value within the ExportToPDF method.

void ExportToPDF(Telerik.Reporting.Report reportToExport)
{
    reportToExport.ReportParameters["Parameter1"].Value = 1;
    reportToExport.ReportParameters["MultiValueParameter2"].Value = new object[] { 1, 2 };

    ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
    RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", reportToExport, null);

    string fileName = result.DocumentName + ".pdf";

    Response.Clear();
    Response.ContentType = result.MimeType;
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Private);
    Response.Expires = -1;
    Response.Buffer = true;

    Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
                       string.Format("{0};FileName=\"{1}\"",
                                     "attachment",
                                     fileName));

    Response.BinaryWrite(result.DocumentBytes);
    Response.End();
}
