Using PrintReport on a separated file.

[Kira]

Hi!

I'm using the following code to export my report to PDF (and it works fine for me):

ReportViewer.prototype.PrintReport = function () {
     this.ExportReport("PDF");
}

But only works if I put the code after the declaration of the ReportViewer. But now I need this to be global to my project. Is there a way of  do a similar functionality putting this code on a separated file?

Regards!

Hi Kira,

The Client-Side API should be used after the report viewer control is properly initialized and that is why it is used after the report viewer declaration. Generally you do not have to explicitly use the ExportReport method inside of PrintReport function and you can utilize such code as long as you make sure the report viewer has been initialized and in your case you also need to make sure that the report is loaded in the viewer:

<script type="text/javascript">
                ReportViewer.OnReportLoadedOld = ReportViewer.OnReportLoaded;
                ReportViewer.prototype.OnReportLoaded = function () {
                    this.OnReportLoadedOld();
                    this.ExportReport("PDF");
                }
      </script>
