Would be nice if separate extension projects created by WiseJ for Crystal Report viewer and MS Reporting Services as these are used quite heavily in database projects?
Hi Nicky
I cant upload a sample here…
This is a link to a complete Sample that is similar to what I use (14Mb – Size is due to inclusion of Crystal Report Viewer javascript & activeX):

I am using the CR Viewer with all my WiseJ apps, and this method works on any Tablet we have used so far. I first populate an XML file on the server with the relevant data (that matches the dataset and rpt file). Then I send the xml file and the rpt file to a SEPERATE asp page (which I call from WiseJ) passing the location of the XML file and the rpt file (GET parameters as part of the URL). See below for various files… (oh, and to save headache, I copy the relevant CR files into a subdirectory on the webserver as well – Had issues with older apps using different versions of CR). Hope these samples help, you will obviously tweak to your own needs.

}
can the PDF viewer bar be visible when on a mobile device? Reason being we would like to print the PDF from iPhone / iPad.
You need to use the PdfViewer. The CR viewer for winforms cannot in the browser. In alternative you can use the CR ASP.NET viewer. I find the PdfViewer to be much better than the ASP.NET viewer.
This is all you need:
var report = new ReportDocument();
report.FileName = Application.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt");
this.pdfViewer1.PdfStream = report.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
