Creating Sub Reports Dynamically

Subreports can be created dynamically. For example, a subreport can be loaded into a main report via code. The interesting part of this task is in the Page_Load event. The following source shows how to do this:

      Visual Basic

Private Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    ' Load the main report definition

    Me.C1WebReport1.Report.ReportDefinition = Me.C1Report1.ReportDefinition

  

    ' OR you could load it this way:

    ' Me.C1WebReport1.Report = Me.C1Report1

 

    ' Now insert the subreport.

    Dim f As C1.C1Report.Field = Me.C1WebReport1.Report.Fields("subreportHolder")

    f.Subreport = Me.C1Report2

  

    ' Set the subreport field's Text property to act as a filter

    f.Text = """CategoryID = "" & CategoryID"

  

    ' Optionally, hide the subreport header

    f.Subreport.Sections.Header.Visible = False

End Sub

      C#

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

    // Load the main report definition

    this.c1WebReport1.Report.ReportDefinition =

    this.c1Report1.ReportDefinition;

 

    // OR you could load it this way:

    // this.c1WebReport1.Report = this.c1Report1;

 

    // Now insert the subreport

    C1.C1Report.Field f =

    this.c1WebReport1.Report.Fields["subreportHolder"];

    f.Subreport = this.c1Report2;

 

    // Set the subreport field's Text property to act as a filter

    f.Text = "\"CategoryID = \" & CategoryID";

 

    // Optionally, hide the subreport header

    f.Subreport.Sections.Header.Visible = false;

}
