There is currently not an available WPF viewer for Active Reports 6. I was attempting to use a host control to display the viewer in a interop host but I'm not having much luck. Has anyone else attempted this successfully? I can't even get the wrapper Viewer control to add to the project toolbox as a custom control at this point. I'm hoping to avoid recreating the wheel.

A:
The existing ActiveReports Viewer works fine in WPF. You can use the below XAML to host it in WPF:
<Window x:Class="ARViewerHostedInWpf.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:arv="clr-namespace:DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Viewer;assembly=ActiveReports.Viewer6"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid>
<WindowsFormsHost Name="windowsFormsHost1">
<arv:Viewer x:Name="ARViewer" Dock="Fill" />
</WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</Window>
The following code in the code-behind of the XAML file will connect a report to the viewer in the XAML above and run it:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
NewActiveReport1 rpt = new NewActiveReport1();
this.ARViewer.Document = rpt.Document;
rpt.Run();
}
}
I'm using the currently available version of ActiveReports 6 to test this.
Hope this helps!
