Sample projects for the Stimulsoft Reports.WEB
Our sample projects and report templates can help you learn the basics of working with our products.
Adding a Custom Function to the Designer
You can extend the report engine with your own functions that users can call from expressions in the web designer.
Adding a Font to the Resource
Fonts can be embedded into a report as resources so the document renders and exports identically regardless of the fonts installed on the server.
Changing Database Type
A report's data connection can be swapped for a different database type at run time without editing the template.
Changing the Viewer Options from the Controller
Set up the report viewer in .NET 8.0, load a template, and connect the component to the application.
Changing the Viewer Theme
The web viewer ships with a set of visual themes and configurable appearance options. This example changes the viewer's theme and background color.
Configuring Report caching
Caching keeps a rendered report on the server between requests, so paging and exporting do not re-render it every time.
Connecting to Data from Code
A report's data can be supplied entirely from the controller instead of being stored in the template.
Creating a Custom Button on the Viewer Toolbar
The web viewer toolbar can be extended with your own buttons using its client-side JavaScript API.
Creating a Custom Parameter Panel for the Viewer
Instead of the built-in parameter panel, you can build your own HTML form and feed its values to the viewer.
Editing a Report Template in the Designer
Besides the viewer, Stimulsoft provides a full web report designer that you can embed in an ASP.NET Core MVC application.
Exporting and Printing a Report from Code
You do not always need the viewer — a report can be printed or exported directly to the HTTP response.
Localizing the Viewer
The web viewer interface can be shown in any language by pointing it to a localization file.
Managing Report Printing and Exporting
When printing and exporting go through the viewer, you can intercept them on the server to adjust the document or its export settings.
Rendering and Exporting a Report in the Console App
Report generation does not require a web or desktop host at all — the engine runs anywhere .NET runs, including a console application.
Saving a Report Template in the Designer
When you host the web designer you usually want to control where edited templates are stored.
Sending a Report by Email
Create the document in memory in .NET 8.0 and send it as an e-mail attachment without leaving a temporary file.
Showing a Report in the Viewer
Set up the report viewer in .NET 8.0, load a template, and connect the component to the application.
Showing Interactive Reports
Stimulsoft reports can be interactive — sorting, drill-down, collapsing groups, chart interaction — and it all works in the web viewer out of the box.
Using a Custom Data Adapter
For a data source that is not built in, you can register a custom data adapter and use it in the web designer.
Using a Report Export Service
A report can be exposed as a web API endpoint that renders and returns a document on demand — a report export service.
Using Business Objects in the Report
Register application objects as a data source in .NET 8.0 and make their fields available to the report template.
Using Report Variables in Code
Report variables let a web report receive values from the request — user input from a form or query string.
