Information

 

Since dashboards and reports use the same unified template format - MRT, methods for loading the template and working with data, the word “report” will be used in the documentation text.

 

 

 

The HTML5 Designer component provides the ability to preview reports. To preview the report, just go to the appropriate tab in the designer window. The report template will be transferred to the server side, rendered and displayed in the embedded viewer.

 

 

 

Before previewing the report, it is possible to perform any necessary actions, for example, connect data for the report. To do this, you can use the special PreviewReport action that will be called before previewing the report. The PreviewReport action is called before preparing and rendering a report for viewing till its saving to the cash.

 

Index.cshtml

...

@Html.StiNetCoreDesigner(new StiNetCoreDesignerOptions() {

Actions =

{

PreviewReport = "PreviewReport"

}

})

...

 

HomeController.cs

...

public IActionResult PreviewReport()

{

StiReport report = StiNetCoreDesigner.GetActionReportObject(this);

 

DataSet data = new DataSet("Demo");

data.ReadXml(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Data/Demo.xml"));

report.RegData(data);

 

return StiNetCoreDesigner.PreviewReportResult(this, report);

}

...

 

 

If you need to make actions on your report immediately before displaying the report, you can use the GetPreviewReport action, which is called after the request of the prepared report from the cash.

 

Index.cshtml

...

@Html.StiNetCoreDesigner(new StiNetCoreDesignerOptions() {

Actions =

{

GetPreviewReport = "GetPreviewReport"

}

})

...

 

HomeController.cs

...

public IActionResult GetPreviewReport()

{

StiReport report = StiNetCoreDesigner.GetActionReportObject(this);

 

DataSet data = new DataSet("Demo");

data.ReadXml(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Data/Demo.xml"));

report.RegData(data);

//report.IsRendered = false;

 

return StiNetCoreDesigner.PreviewReportResult(this, report);

}

...

 

Information

 

So as in this event a prepared report for viewing is transferred, if you need to render again you should set the report.IsRendered = false flag.
