Loading a Report into the C1DocumentViewer Control

To load a report into the C1DocumentViewer control, just set the C1DocumentViewer.FileName and C1DocumentViewer.ReportName properties. You can do so in the designer, in code or in XAML:

In the Designer

To load a report in the designer, complete the following steps:

Select the C1DocumentViewer control and navigate to the Properties window.
Select the ellipsis button next to the C1DocumentViewer.FileName property to open the Open dialog box.

Locate and open a report definition file. For example, open the CommonTasks.xml file installed by default in the samples installation directory.

The reports available in the reports file should now appear in the C1DocumentViewer.ReportName drop-down box.

Click the C1DocumentViewer.ReportName drop-down box and select a report. For example, select 01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report).

In Code

Set theC1DocumentViewer.FileName and C1DocumentViewer.ReportName properties to the appropriate report definition location and report name in code. For example, add the following code to the Page_Load event to load the CommonTasks.xml report definition file into the C1DocumentViewer control:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
C1DocumentViewer1.FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ComponentOne Samples\C1WPFReport\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.xml" C1DocumentViewer1.ReportName = "01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report)"

Visual Basic

Copy Code

C1DocumentViewer1.FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ComponentOne Samples\C1WPFReport\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.xml"
C1DocumentViewer1.ReportName = "01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report)"

C#	Copy Code
C1DocumentViewer1.FileName = "@C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ComponentOne Samples\C1WPFReport\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.xml"; C1DocumentViewer1.ReportName = "01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report)";

Copy Code

C1DocumentViewer1.FileName = "@C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ComponentOne Samples\C1WPFReport\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.xml";
C1DocumentViewer1.ReportName = "01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report)";

Note: Update the directory in the code above with the correct samples installation directory on your machine.

In XAML

Set theC1DocumentViewer.FileName and C1DocumentViewer.ReportName properties to the appropriate report definition location and report name in the <my:C1DocumentViewer> tag. For example, use the following XAML to load the CommonTasks.xml report definition file into the C1DocumentViewer control:

<my:C1DocumentViewer Name="C1DocumentViewer1" FileName="C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ComponentOne Samples\C1WPFReport\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.xml" ReportName="01: Alternating Background (Greenbar report)"></my:C1DocumentViewer>

Note: Update the directory in the code above with the correct samples installation directory on your machine.

Run your application and observe:
