WPF Viewer and dynamical adding of pages / reports

[Stefan]

Currently I am evaluating different reporting frameworks for implementing a new reporting / printing component for our application. I am planing to implement a MS Office 2010 style printing preview. As there will be a multitude of configuration parameters which influence the generated output and the output may be several 100 pages and several reports (probably combined into one using your book feature) it may take quite a while to create all those pages / reports. Nevertheless I want user configuration changes immediately to be reflected in the user interface (the preview). So I was thinking about designing all the reporting component in a way that it's able to generate pages / the single reports asynchronously one after one, so that the first page / report could be quickly shown while the rest is still generated and added one after the other.

So my question is, do you see the Telerik Reporting component and the WPF viewer being capable of dealing with those requirements, enabling me to implement such a scenario?

Hello Stefan,

The WPF Report Viewer shows the first page once the report engine is ready while others still render. Check out our WPF demo that come with Telerik Reporting installation.

If you need any additional customization of the WPF report viewer you can modify the report viewers template with Blend as shown in the attached example.

All the best,
Peter
