Telerik Q3 2013 HTML5 Report Viewer using Ninject

[Matt Miller]

I'm trying to use the new html5 report viewer using the example given here HTML5 Report Viewer with MVC .

Whenever i try to call the controller class from the example , i get this error:

The IControllerFactory 'CNX.WebUI.Infrastructure.NinjectControllerFactory' did not return a controller for the name 'MenuReport'.

Does Telerik have any tutorials on how to use this new report viewer in conjunction with Ninject?

[Ignacio]

Could you please provide your controller class (especially the constructors) and your relevant Ninject modules?

[Matt Miller]

The report controller is basically as from the previously mentioned tutorial other than i am return an IReportResolver in the action method: 

public class MenuReportController : ReportsControllerBase
{
    public MenuReportController()
    {


    }

    public IReportResolver ReportMenuAction()
    {
        return CreateReportResolver();
    }

    protected override IReportResolver CreateReportResolver()
    {
        var reportsPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Reports");
        return new ReportFileResolver(reportsPath).AddFallbackResolver(new ReportTypeResolver());
    }

    protected override ICache CreateCache()
    {
        return CacheFactory.CreateFileCache();
    }

And here is my ninject code:

public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
        private IKernel ninjectKernel;
        public NinjectControllerFactory()
        {
            ninjectKernel = new StandardKernel();
            AddBindings();
        }

        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
        {
            return controllerType == null ? null : (IController)ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);
        }

        private void AddBindings()
        {
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IUserViewRepository>().To<EFUserViewRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IRoleRepository>().To<EFRoleRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IAuthentication>().To<AuthenticationProvider>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IPendingTrainRepository>().To<EFPendingTrainRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IRailCarT94Repository>().To<EFRailCarT94Repository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IPendingEDI417Repository>().To<EFPendingEDI417Repository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IRailCarEDIRepository>().To<EFRailCarEDIRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IMatchedT94EDI417Repository>().To<EFMatchedT94EDI417Repository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IMatchedT94EDI417RailCarRepository>().To<EFMatchedT94EDI417RailCarRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IT94EdiMatchesRepository>().To<EFT94EdiMatchesRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IPendingSap2KssHeaderRepository>().To<EFPendingSap2KssHeaderRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IPendingSap2KssDetailRepository>().To<EFPendingSap2KssDetailRepository>();

            //new ui bindings
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IEdiTrainRepository>().To<EFEdiTrainRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IEdiRailcarRepository>().To<EFEdiRailcarRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IT94TrainRepository>().To<EFT94TrainRepository>();
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IT94RailcarRepository>().To<EFT94RailcarRepository>();
        }
    }

The ninject code works fine for any of my other controllers. But they inherit from standard controller class, where as the report controller inherits from ReportsControllerBase.

Matt, I assume you're following this post and if you've received the solution to using Ninject with ReportViewer, I desperately need it.  If you haven't... why, are we the only 2 guys with this combination of software?

[Matt Miller]

I never actually did.
I have a "Reports" item on my applications main menu.
When the user clicks that item, i load a view with a drop down of all reports in my \Reports directory, and a "View Report" button.
When they click this button , i load the report viewer into a popup window.

Here's the definition of the div containing my report viewer object: 

<div id="ReportWindow">
     @(Html.TelerikReporting().ReportViewer()
          .Id("reportViewer1")
          .ServiceUrl("/api/reports/")
          .TemplateUrl("/ReportViewer/templates/telerikReportViewerTemplate.html")
          .ViewMode(ViewModes.INTERACTIVE)
          .ScaleMode(ScaleModes.SPECIFIC)
          .Scale(1.0)
          .PersistSession(false)
               )
  </div>

In $(document).ready() function i have this to init the window:

var win = $("#ReportWindow").kendoWindow({          

            actions: ["Maximize", "Minimize", "Close"],

            draggable: true,

            height: "500px",

            width: "500px",

            modal: true,

            resizable: true,           

            visible : false ,

            position: { top: 100, left: 100 }

        }).data("kendoWindow");




[Matt Miller]

Sorry , forgot my click handler for the button itself : 

$("#showWindow").click(function () {
           var win = $("#ReportWindow").data("kendoWindow");
           //var train = $("#trainList").data("kendoDropDownList");
           var report = $("#reportList").data("kendoDropDownList");
           //var start = $("#startDate").data("kendoDateTimePicker").value();
           //var end = $("#endDate").data("kendoDateTimePicker").value();
           var reportViewer = $("#reportViewer1").data("telerik_ReportViewer");

           // alert('start: ' + start.toDateString() + ' end: ' + end.toDateString() + ' aut: ' + train.value());
           reportViewer.reportSource({
               report: report.text() + ".trdx"//,
               // parameters: { startDate: start.toDateString(), endDate: end.toDateString(), AUT: train.value() }
           });

           //if (train.text().trim() == "") {
           //    alert('Please select train.');
           //}
           //else {
           reportViewer.refreshReport();
           // win.title(report.text() + ' -- ' + train.text());
           win.title(report.text());
           win.center();
           win.open();
       });

   });

Hope that helps

Excellent.  I'll give it a try.  
Thanks
