Does anyone know if you can programmatically save a report shown in a reportviewer control in C#?
When a report is shown there are "Export to..." buttons and I would like to automate the saving to PDF function.
You can do this with ReportViewer Control(with LocalReport.Render Method), check "Email a report" example at the http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
string _sPathFilePDF = String.Empty;
String v_mimetype;
String v_encoding;
String v_filename_extension;
String[] v_streamids;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.Warning[] warnings;
string _sSuggestedName = String.Empty;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer reportViewer1;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalReport objRDLC = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalReport();
reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "reportViewer1.rdlc";
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DisplayName = _sSuggestedName;
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear();
byte[] byteViewer = rptvFlightPlan.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, out v_mimetype, out v_encoding, out v_filename_extension, out v_streamids, out warnings);
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "*PDF files (*.pdf)|*.pdf";
saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;
saveFileDialog1.FileName = _sSuggestedName;
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
FileStream newFile = new FileStream(saveFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Create);
newFile.Write(byteViewer, 0, byteViewer.Length);
newFile.Close();
}
You can't export to an event as far as reportviewer in web forms are concerned.

I have a .pptx template with existing textbox with already set alttext name. I'm also trying to generate shapes from a svg file. The textbox should hold the name of the svg file.
After successful generating shapes from the svg file I'd like to group both the svg file and textbox. This the code im currently using to generate shapes from svg file and fill textbox with svg filename.
using (Aspose.Slides.Presentation pres = new Aspose.Slides.Presentation(Application.StartupPath + #"\Templates\Template1.pptx"))
{
try
{
string svgContent1 = File.ReadAllText(dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value.ToString());
ISvgImage svgImage1 = new SvgImage(svgContent1);
pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddGroupShape(svgImage1, (float)66.79292, (float)110.5453, (float)52.56, (float)52.56);
IShape Text0_1 = SearchTextBox.FindShape(pres.Slides[0], "TextBox1");
if (Text0_1 != null)
{
((IAutoShape)Text0_1).TextFrame.Text = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
}
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.InitialDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
sfd.Title = "Save PowerPoint Icons";
sfd.CheckFileExists = false;
sfd.CheckPathExists = true;
sfd.DefaultExt = "pptx";
sfd.Filter = "Powerpoint Files (*.pptx) | *.pptx";
sfd.FilterIndex = 1;
sfd.RestoreDirectory = true;
if (sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pres.Save(sfd.FileName, SaveFormat.Pptx);
Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
}
catch (FileFormatException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
Currently I have this test code
File file = new File();
Document document = file.Document;
Page page = new Page(document);
document.Pages.Add(page);
PrimitiveComposer composer = new PrimitiveComposer(page);
composer.SetFont(new StandardType1Font(document, StandardType1Font.FamilyEnum.Courier, true, false), 32);
composer.ShowText("Hello World!", new PointF(32, 48));
composer.Flush();
file.Save("test.pdf", SerializationModeEnum.Incremental);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer", System.IO.Directory.GetParent(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName).ToString());
How can I open a general windows explorer save as prompt instead of saving to the hard code path "test.pdf"? (In file.save())
Thanks
Use SaveFileDialog for that:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sfezx97z(v=vs.110).aspx
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "PDF File|*.pdf";
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save PDF";
if(saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
file.Save(saveFileDialog1.FileName, SerializationModeEnum.Incremental);
}
I am using the savefiledialog to save a file. Now I need to check if the name already exists.
If it exists the user needs to get a chance to change the name or overwrite the already existing file.
I have tried it with everything and searched a lot but can't find a solution while I technically think it should be easy to do. In the if (File.Exists(Convert.ToString(infor)) == true) the check must take place.
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.Filter = ".xlsx Files (*.xlsx)|*.xlsx";
if (sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(sfd.FileName);
string filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sfd.FileName);
for (int i = 0; i < toSave.Count; i++)
{
FileInfo infor = new FileInfo(path + #"\" + filename + "_" + exportlist[i].name + ".xlsx");
if (File.Exists(Convert.ToString(infor)) == true)
{
}
toSave[i].SaveAs(infor);
MessageBox.Show("Succesvol opgeslagen als: " + infor);
}
}
Just use the OverwritePrompt property of SaveFileDialog:
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog{ Filter = ".xlsx Files (*.xlsx)|*.xlsx",
OverwritePrompt = true };
MSDN link on OverwritePrompt can be found here.
do this instead
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.Filter = ".xlsx Files (*.xlsx)|*.xlsx";
sfd.OverwritePrompt = true;
That should do the work for you
I would use an approach like this:
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.Filter = ".xlsx Files (*.xlsx)|*.xlsx";
do
{
if (sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(sfd.FileName);
string filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sfd.FileName);
try
{
toSave[i].SaveAs(infor);
break;
}
catch (System.IO.IOException)
{
//inform user file exists or that there was another issue saving to that file name and that they'll need to pick another one.
}
}
} while (true);
MessageBox.Show("Succesvol opgeslagen als: " + infor);
Catching an exception instead of using File.Exists is really the only way to do it, because something external could create the file between File.Exists and actually writing it, thus throwing an exception you'd have to handle anyway.
This code will loop and continue to prompt the user until the file is successfully written.
I just wanted to know how can i give a custom made default location for grabbing the files.
I have uploaded a file to the local database and i have binded the file to the gird also. When i press download its showing an error called "the file is not found in location"
If i copy the particular uploaded files to the specified location i can download it easily.
So i just need to know how can i give a default location so that i can upload and downlaod the file from the same exact location.
snapshot of error: https://imageshack.com/i/ewTrmAI2j
Edited the same below code with custom made folder path. But i dont know why the file is always being asked from bin/debug/ folder. WHy its happening like this. IS there any way i can make changes to this folder.. other than bin/debug/ folder
Codes:
private void DownloadAttachment(DataGridViewCell dgvCell)
{
string fileName = Convert.ToString(dgvCell.Value);
//Return if the cell is empty
if (fileName == string.Empty)
return;
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(fileName);
string fileExtension = fileInfo.Extension;
byte[] byteData = File.ReadAllBytes(fileInfo.FullName); - - - - <<<<< ERROR HERE
//show save as dialog
using (SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog())
{
//Set Save dialog properties
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Files (*" + fileExtension + ")|*" + fileExtension;
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save File as";
saveFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;
saveFileDialog1.FileName = fileName;
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string s = cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
File.WriteAllBytes(saveFileDialog1.FileName, byteData);
byteData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(s);
}
}
}
The FileInfo() constructor only works with a full file path. It sounds like you are trying to use the constructor with just a file name, at which point it fails when you try to read the file because its not a valid path. There are a couple possibilities for dealing with this:
Create your own MyFileInfo() class inheriting from FileInfo() and add a constructor that appends your specific path to the filename.
Simply append the path in-line in your code as:
var myPath = #"c:\folder\stuff\";
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(myPath + fileName);
Normally the path would be setup as a setting in your app.config so you could change it easily if needed.
I found the answer
codes for the binding file path to the gridview and download the file using the file path
private void UploadAttachment(DataGridViewCell dgvCell)
{
using (OpenFileDialog fileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
{
//Set File dialog properties
fileDialog.CheckFileExists = true;
fileDialog.CheckPathExists = true;
fileDialog.Filter = "All Files|*.*";
fileDialog.Title = "Select a file";
fileDialog.Multiselect = true;
if (fileDialog.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
string strfilename = fileDialog.FileName;
cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value = strfilename;
}
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Download Attachment from the provided DataGridViewCell
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dgvCell"></param>
private void DownloadAttachment(DataGridViewCell dgvCell)
{
string fileName = Convert.ToString(dgvCell.Value);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
byte[] objData;
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(fileName);
string fileExtension = fileInfo.Extension;
//show save as dialog
using (SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog())
{
//Set Save dialog properties
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Files (*" + fileExtension + ")|*" + fileExtension;
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save File as";
saveFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;
saveFileDialog1.FileName = fileName;
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string s = cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
objData = File.ReadAllBytes(s);
File.WriteAllBytes(saveFileDialog1.FileName, objData);
}
}
}
}
}
The problem is when I am downloading the file, I can see the path in the download file. I am not getting the actual contents of the file inside.
When I am attaching a file called sample.txt and the path for sample.txt is== C:\Users\smohan\Downloads\databse\LocalDataBaseAp\sample.txt. I can see the path gets binded with my datagrid. But when I click the cell of the grid and download the same file. The file is downloading. But when I open.. The downloaded file I can see inside is missing the actual contents, but instead the path is saved as content (i.e.) C:\Users\smohan\Downloads\database\LocalDataBaseAp\sample.txt
What's wrong with my code?
private void UploadAttachment(DataGridViewCell dgvCell)
{
using (OpenFileDialog fileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
{
//Set File dialog properties
fileDialog.CheckFileExists = true;
fileDialog.CheckPathExists = true;
fileDialog.Filter = "All Files|*.*";
fileDialog.Title = "Select a file";
fileDialog.Multiselect = true;
if (fileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value = fileDialog.FileName;
SqlCeConnection cnn = new SqlCeConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.CncConnectionString);
//FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(fileDialog.FileName);
byte[] imgData;
imgData = File.ReadAllBytes(fileDialog.FileName);}
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Download Attachment from the provided DataGridViewCell
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dgvCell"></param>
private void DownloadAttachment(DataGridViewCell dgvCell)
{
string strId = cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
string fileName = Convert.ToString(dgvCell.Value);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
byte[] objData;
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(fileName);
string fileExtension = fileInfo.Extension;
//show save as dialog
using (SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog())
{
//Set Save dialog properties
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Files (*" + fileExtension + ")|*" + fileExtension;
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save File as";
saveFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;
saveFileDialog1.FileName = fileName;
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string s = cncInfoDataGridView.Rows[dgvCell.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
objData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(s);
string strFileToSave = saveFileDialog1.FileName;
File.WriteAllBytes(saveFileDialog1.FileName, objData);
}
}
}
}
}
}
I understand what you're doing now; So, here's the pertinent code part:
objData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(s);
The problem is I think you are misunderstanding what System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string) does. It does not read a file's contents; it encodes the string you pass to it. So, you are writing your file path from your Grid - not the contents of the file. This is more like what you want:
objData = File.ReadAllBytes(s);
That reads all the bytes from the file at the path you pass to it, returning a byte[], as you were using.
