Binding Render output to ReportViewer control?

I'm trying to take the output of the Render method and bind it to the ReportViewer control. First of all, is this possible? If so, what is the best way to render the report (format: XML,CSV, NULL, etc), and then how to I 'bind' the result to the control?

I'm proving some code to demonstrate how I'm rendering the report:
...
string format = "XML";
string devInfo = @."<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>";
ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportExecutionService();
ExecutionInfo execInfo = new ExecutionInfo();
ExecutionHeader execHeader = new ExecutionHeader();
byte[] result= null;

rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader;
execInfo = rs.LoadReport(path, null);
string SessionId = rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID;
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, out extension, out encoding, out mimeType, out warnings, out streamIDs);

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Binding dataset to a reportviewer control

Hi,

I need to bind my custom dataset, which i retrieve by executing some query to a reportviewer control. I don't want to create a typed dataset in the application. Is there any way to do it? The dataset that i bind will be built in a seperate class. If I plan to use a Object Data source, what are the steps to follow. Pls help.

thanks,

Saravanan

www.gotreportviewer.com provides information about how to use object data sources specifically at: http://www.gotreportviewer.com/objectdatasources/index.html

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply. I already read through that article. What i really need is to bind a dataset ( which i create in my application) to be bound to the report viewer. The dataset will have some columns from the database ( thro a select query), some columns may be added by me. I want to bind this custom dataset to the report viewer control (local mode processing). Please let me know if this can be done and also some steps to do it.

Thanks in advance,

Saravanan.

Bestpractice for ReportingServices 2005

Hello All,

I am working on ReportingServices 2005 and embading the reports in ASP.NET using ReportViewer.

I would like to know Best Practice for this above.

Like Header, Footer, Logo, Report Run time, ReportName, Start and EndDate, Width (on browser and while printing)
PageCount, MasterPages for ReportingServices 2005

Also on the Web Site(ASP.NET with AJAX ), how to navigate to these reports, like Menu or TreeView

Is there any BestPractice or StarterKit for .Net 2.0?

Here are useful links
