Adding the WebReports for ASP.NET Component to a Project

When you install ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET AJAX, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox is checked, by default, in the installation wizard. When you open Visual Studio, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET AJAX tab containing the ComponentOne controls has automatically been added to the Toolbox.

If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.

ComponentOne WebReports for ASP.NET provides the following control:

      C1WebReport

To use C1WebReport, add this control to the form or add a reference to the C1.Web.C1WebReport.2 assembly in your project.

Manually Adding C1WebReport to the Toolbox

When you install C1WebReport, the following C1WebReport component will appear in the Visual Studio Toolbox customization dialog box:

      C1WebReport

To manually add the C1WebReport control to the Visual Studio Toolbox:

1.   Open the Visual Studio IDE (Microsoft Development Environment). Make sure the Toolbox is visible (select Toolbox in the View menu if necessary) and right-click it to open the context menu.

2.   To make the C1WebReport component appear on its own tab in the Toolbox, select Add Tab from the context menu and type in the tab name, C1WebReport, for example.

 

3.   Right-click the tab where the component is to appear and select Choose Items from the context menu.

The Choose Toolbox Items dialog box opens.

4.   In the dialog box, select the .NET Framework Components tab. Sort the list by Namespace (click the Namespace column header) and check the check boxes for all components belonging to namespace C1.Web.C1WebReport. Note that there may be more than one component for each namespace.

 

Adding C1WebReport to the Form

To add C1WebReport to a form:

1.   Add the WebReports for ASP.NET controls to the Visual Studio Toolbox.

2.   Double-click the control or drag it onto your form.

Adding a Reference to the Assembly

To add a reference to the WebReports for ASP.NET assembly:

1.   Select the Add Reference option from the Website menu of your Web Site project or from the Project menu of your Web Application project.

2.   Select the ComponentOne WebReports for ASP.NET assembly from the list on the .NET tab or browse to find the C1.Web.C1WebReport.2.dll file and click OK.

3.   Double-click the form caption area to open the code window. At the top of the file, add the following Imports statements (using in C#):

Imports C1.Web.C1WebReport
