I installed ActiveReports from their site. The version was labeled as ".NET 2.0 build 5.2.1013.2 (for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008)". I have an ASP.NET project in VS 2008 which has 2.0 as target framework. I added all the tools in the DataDynamics namespace to the toolbox, created a new project, added a new report. When I drag and drop ...
ActiveReports seems like a powerful flexible tool, but if you make a mistake anywhere, you get an exception "data member not found. please check your datasource and datamember properties". There is no indication as to which datasource/datamember is at fault or what subreport the problem lies in, but Active Reports must know this! The ...
I am attempting to have a ReportHandler service to handle report creation. Reports can have multiple, differing number of parameters that could be set. In the system currently there are several different methods of creating reports (MS reporting services, html reports, etc) and the way the data is generated for each report is different...
I am using ActiveReports with ASP.NET but I think answer for any similar reporting component will do. I have two resultset to merge and show in a single report, like: Table 1: Name Job Start End Jack Some service 1992 1997 Jack Some Sales Exp 1998 2007 Jane Some programming 2000 2003 Table 2: Name Training Jack...

We currently use ActiveReports (by Data Dynamics, now Grape City) for canned reports, but are considering moving up to their Reports package. If you've used it, I'd love to hear your take on: Performance - do you feel it will scale well for a web based app (particularly compared with ActiveReports) Export to Excel - it appears to prov...
I asked this question in the DataDynamics forum earlier today. I thought that maybe I'd get some sort of response here at SO. I am trying to get the WebViewer up and running in my ASP.NET MVC application. I am attempting to render the webviewer in the controller (webViewer.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter) and then put the results into Vi...
I am unsure how to go about exporting my ActiveReports report document to XLS in my asp.net mvc app. My concept so far is to have a dropdown of export types and a submit button that submits that value to my controller. When I'm on the controller, I regenerate the report and pass it to my Export method. I'm not sure what to have this...
I'm needing to fix a bug in an ASP.NET 2.0 app that uses ActiveReports 3.0 to generate reports from a SQL Server stored proc source. The report runs fine, but the data was incorrect, so we fixed the stored proc and reran the report through the ASP.NET interface. What we're seeing is that ActiveReports is still displaying the early ve...
Hello, I have a stream loaded with HTML that I got from an export. I can take this html from the stream in a byte[] (is there any other way?), and I want to write this byte[] to a html mail body. The reason to do this is that I want to export a report to html, and use this data in the body of the mail, instead of exporting it to pdf an...
I just upgraded from ActiveReports 2.0 to 3.0. All rpx files have been converted to *.vb files. The ActiveReports project has this class hierarchy: *.vb with designer -> PrintBase.vb -> ActiveReport3 When I opened any of the *.vb files, I got this error: The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes with...
I have been using the AJAX html editor to create content for a .NET project. The content is stored as raw HTML mark-ups. Now I need to take that content and inject it into a printable format. I've tried report writers like Crystal Reports and/or ActiveReports. Both make references that it can consume HTML, but only a subset is processe...

My company is running into a problem with a web service that is written in C#/ASP.Net. The service receives an identity key for data in SQL Server and a path to generate and save a PDF report for this data. In most cases, this web service returns results to the calling web pages very quickly, usually within a few seconds max. Howe...
In ActiveReports, how can I change formatting based on values in the report data? Specifically, I want to show or hide pictures based on a value in the data. The report gets bound to a list of objects via a set to its DataSource property. These objects have a Condition property with values "Poor", "Normal", etc. I have some pictures in ...
I've been scouring the web for a good example, but cannot figure out how to add a page break to an Active Reports report programmatically. The reports I'm working with usually require 1-2 pages for each record. In order to support dual-sided printing of the reports I want to insert a blank page for each record that uses an odd number of ...
