Description

Intention is to show the following possibilities:

i.Generating report of one object reference

ii.Generating reports of multiple object references

iii.Generating report of “General” report type

iv.Transferring parameter values to report

Procedure

i.To generate report (e.g. LocationDetail) of one object reference

Element location = . . . ; // get the element to print

List<int> ids = api.Reports.FindElementIdsByName("LocationDetail");

if (ids.Count == 1)

{

 int reportId = ids[0];

 api.Reports.SaveReportAsPdf(reportId, location, "C:\\temp");

}

 

ii.To generate report (e.g. LocationDetail) of multiple object references

List<Element> locations = . . . ; // get the element to print

List<int> ids = api.Reports.FindElementIdsByName("LocationDetail");

if (ids.Count == 1)

{

 int reportId = ids[0];

 api.Reports.SaveReportAsPdf(reportId, locations, "C:\\temp");

}

 

iii.To generate report of “General” report type

List<int> ids = api.Reports.FindElementIdsByName("CommonReport1");

if (ids.Count == 1)

{

 int reportId = ids[0];

 api.Reports.SaveReportAsPdf(reportId, "C:\\temp");

}

 

iv.To generate report (e.g. LocationDetail) of one object reference and to transfer parameters to report

Element location = . . . ; // get the element to print

List<int> ids = api.Reports.FindElementIdsByName("LocationDetail");

if (ids.Count == 1)

{

 int reportId = ids[0];

  Dictionary<string, object> parameter2value = new Dictionary<string, object>();

       parameter2value["A"] = 1;
 parameter2value["B"] = "text";

 api.Reports.SaveReportAsPdf(

                  reportId, location, "C:\\temp",

                   true, parameter2value);

}
