ReportExecutionServiceSoapClient.Render to reportviewer control - c#

Is there a way to get the ReportExecutionServiceSoapClient.Render method to render the report to a reportviewer control. I have found examples to render to PDF, but not to the report viewer control.
Here is an example to render to pdf
ReportExecutionService.Render Method
If I can render to html, that is fine as well. I am busy to create a report viewer for my MVC App, that i can just point to the reporting service web service then all the reports will be available as part of my application.

Try this piece of code:

or try below:

For what it know, the ReportViewer control just renders their own report format, so you may either just send the report format to the ReportViewer control or simply render the report to HTML4 and use a WebBrowser control or something similar.

View PDF from file system in Telerik ReportViewer Control

I have a c# WPF Application that is using Telerik ReportViewer. The ReportViewer Takes an IReportDocument. The problem is I have reports that have already been rendered and I want to display them. They are being saved as PDF files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We would like to keep the control the same because we are custom handling the email button press to display a custom view.
As it is mentioned here:
Display PDF in viewer
here:
Loading PDF file into Telerik ReportViewer
and here:
Load PDF file in Telerik ReportViewer
This is not what ReportViewer is meant for. You can pass there XML or HTML file, but not rendered PDF. You should look for another component, in order to view rendered PDF, like one, mentioned here:
How do I display a PDF directly in the browser without exporting first?

Display Crystal Reports in HTML without using ASP Crystal Reports Viewer

I have an Angular Front End, and C# Backend for my current project, both are separated into their own projects. My question is, is there a way to display a Crystal Report in the browser without using ASP Crystal Reports Viewer? I've searched for weeks and been unable to find anything. I'm not using MVC, mainly because I'm not too familiar with it and how to use Angular with MVC. Essentially I have just static HTML pages, and I use Angular to call back to the server and get my data, I know I can issue a call and "load" a crystal report, but then I can't figure out how I'd actually display it, since I don't have a crystal reports viewer at my disposal due to not using Web Forms. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Through .Net code (that you could expose through a web service) you can "export" into various formats (PDF, Word Doc, Excel, Text, HTML). You could make a JavaScript call to a C# web service call that loads the reports and exports HTML then another call to Render that (or get it's results back from the original call, not sure how long your reports take to run).

Place a textbox over an image in Microsoft Reports

I want to place a textbox over a non-background image in an rdlc report (Microsoft Reports C# .Net).
I do it in my designer and everything looks great.
I export a pdf from the ReportViewer object and it looks great.
But when I show the ReportViewer object in a form, I get a misalligned textbox. It doesn't stay over the image, but gets alligned on the right of the image.
I am posting screenshots:
ReportViewer designer in Visual Studio
ReportViewer in a form (Notice the textbox value, number 4, on the right)
PDF export
Why is the textbox misalligned in the ReportViewer and how can I fix it?
Reportviewer renders using html that doesn't allow for overlapping objects that's why it looks right in a pdf but not on the reportviewer itself.

Hide image on report (RDLC) based upon report render method

We have some reports that are loaded on a asp.net webpage via the localreport.render() and a request has come in to hide a logo image if it is displayed inline as html on the page and only show the image if it's rendered as a pdf.
is there any way to determine the render mode in the report so i can create an expression to set the display property to hidden for the logo image if it's not pdf mode?
I've been searching google and msdn with no luck.
thanks!
What version of SSRS are you using? If you are using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 I think you are in luck. Check out the link below, he explains how to do what you are asking but the opposite ( display the image in HTML but NOT int PDF ). I'm sure you could just reverse the logic...
http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=2106
The Hidden expression for the image would be...
=Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive
This would evaluate to Hidden=true for HTML and Hidden=false for PDF since PDF is considered non-interactive in this context.
Here is what I did to accomplish something similar:
I used the ReportViewer.LocalReport.Render method to render the report to Excel, PDF, etc. and manually streamed that back to the user for download. In order for the report to determine if it is being exported I simply set a parameter before the export and reset the parameter after the export. Something like this:
reportViewerMain.LocalReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter("IsExporting", "true"));
byte[] bytes = reportViewerMain.LocalReport.Render("Excel");
reportViewerMain.LocalReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter("IsExporting", "false"));

asp.net pdf renderer

I want to ask you how to render a pdf in asp.net using c#.
so my web can show a pdf.
You can use Aspose.PDF or iText (there is a free version).
You can read about the licensing for iText for more information on the comment provided below.
One way is to generate latex from your application and then convert latex into pdf:
http://www.emphess.net/2010/11/09/create-high-quality-pdfs-with-razor-view-engine-and-latex
The nice thing about doing it this way is that you can write your views just like all your other views, except you use latex instead of html.
You can use the ReportViewer component (in "Local Processing Mode", so you don't need the SQL Server Reporting Services) to show a Report created in Visual Studio in a web page.
If you want the report to output directly as a PDF (instead of being shown in the ReportViewer control), you can use the technique outlined in this article to render the report on the server and then send the PDF stream to the web client:

The advantage of this solution is that you don't need to use any third-party libraries.
