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.

 

 

 

To run the report designer with a new (empty) report, it is enough to create a new report in the GetReport action and return it to the designer. If necessary, you can load data for the report or perform any other required actions.

 

Index.cshtml

...

@Html.Stimulsoft().StiMvcDesigner("MvcDesigner1",

new StiMvcDesignerOptions() {

Actions =

{

GetReport = "GetReport"

}

})

...

 

HomeController.cs

...

public ActionResult GetReport()

{

StiReport report = new StiReport();

//var newDashboard = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();

 

return StiMvcDesigner.GetReportResult(report);

//return StiMvcDesigner.GetReportResult(newDashboard);

}

...

 

 

You can also create a new report using the main menu of the designer. The CreateReport action is used to load data for a new report or perform any other necessary actions. This action will be called when creating a new empty report or when creating a report using the wizard.

 

Index.cshtml

...

@Html.Stimulsoft().StiMvcDesigner("MvcDesigner1",

new StiMvcDesignerOptions() {

Actions =

{

CreateReport = "CreateReport"

}

})

...

 

HomeController.cs

...

public ActionResult CreateReport()

{

StiReport report = new StiReport();

//var newDashboard = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();

 

// Register data for the new report, if necessary

DataSet data = new DataSet("Demo");

data.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Data/Demo.xml"));

report.RegData(data);

//newDashboard.RegData(data);

report.Dictionary.Synchronize();

//newDashboard.Dictionary.Synchronize();

 

return StiMvcDesigner.GetReportResult(report);

//return StiMvcDesigner.GetReportResult(newDashboard);

}
