I am using open source version and trying to create a simple report (.fpx) from a template I created using the community designer (.frx). I want to be able to create an frx file but launch that report from my program substituting data having same schema but filtered by my user. My frx file just connects to a sql server instance and displays selected fields from a table using a SQL query like (select a,b,c from table1). The preview in the designer looks fine.
I am using the latest version 2023.1.13. Can someone please tell me if you've successfully executed report.prepare in your project? Maybe there is something wrong with my data table used in registerdata. I'm assuming that I just have to prepare a datatable having the same schema as the table used to create the frx file.
To fix this I needed to install the Nuget package for my data provider and also the package for the latest CodeAnalysis.CSharp library. I recommend that you add that as a dependency in the Nuget package.
I had to install the most recent CodeAnalysis.CSharp library package as well as the Nuget package for my data provider in order to resolve this. I suggest including that in the Nuget package as a dependency. geometry dash
Hello!
I was excited to see an SSRS report control in radzen studio. But SSRS reports are painful and buggy most of the time. I saw also a post here on community forum hinting to use FastReport Open source and implement a custom controller. Well, I am a no coder and proud ! means I do all my apps in Radzen Studio. Is there any chance to implement a FastReport or Telerik Report control in Radzen Studio? or perhaps build your own ?
Hello @hany , in my opinion you dont need another RAD tool, @korchev it's right. to build a report solution it's a huge task. my advice it's to use fastreport with radzen. it's very simple and superfast. if you want , let me know what are exactly your needs and I can try to send you a Radzen example to create reports with Fastreport. I tried many others competitor. and I can tell you honestly. that only with radzen you can generate reports with almost no code. best regards Leo.
This usage pattern does not work for Free/Shared plans due to the sandbox. However, a small set of APIs are opened for use in Basic+ plans; these APIs are designed to enable SQL Reporting framework creation of PDFs. So these libraries should be usable for PDF generation in Basic+.
Here is a list of frameworks and scenarios that have been found to be not be usable due to one or more of the restrictions above. It's conceivable that some will be supported in the future as the sandbox evolves.
Known issue for all PDF generators based on wkhtmltopdf or phantomjs: custom fonts are not rendered (system-installed font is used instead) because of sandbox GDI API limitations that present even in VM-based Azure Apps plans (Basic or higher).
Have you looked at Syncfusion PDF
Simple to use in Radzen and well documented (mostly). PDF report is generated thru code rather than using a banded report editor.
A free community version is available subject to criteria.
For report development, I use the Report Builder stand-alone application. Visual Studio has had the capability to develop reports for many years, including VS2022, though I have limited experience with it.
In my environment, I do not use an SSRS report server to render the reports for viewing on a web application, and then to export in various formats. For those who wish to render/view on the web, the existing report viewer control from Microsoft only works with .NET Framework/WebForms. Microsoft does not provide a .NET Core web control for Blazor. (Thank you Radzen!)
All my reports are locally rendered, where I create output files in various formats directly using the Local Report control. For those not familiar with the Local Report, it has been around since 2010:
I have been looking for a solution for reporting, which is free/open source, and only the last week I found something worth mentioning. Being from the corporate accounting world, my tools are directed towards accountants and business users, which rely heavily on such reports, and I would like to see an open source/free reporting tool to serve this purpose.
Prerequisites:
A. Basic .Net Core MVC
B. Nuget Package - FastReport.OpenSource.Web (take latest one for 2019)
C. There is an frx file, which is an XML document describing the report itself. I manually edited the sample report, to fit my sample data. It is saved in my wwwroot folder, simple list.frx.
D. Main difference to their tutorial is that I take data from my list, not the XML database of Northwind. Clone their git repo, and see how it runs for their
data: the Web.MVC folder contains the relevant .net core MVC example:
E. There is a report editor/designer, Fast Report Designer Demo for trial purposes. Download it.
Also, download the -report.com/en/product/fast-report-viewer/, it's a free tool.
What I have been exploring is Jasper Reports with their Report Server. It exposes REST JSON APIs that I can then call from other applications. The resulting report can then be streamed via the HTTP response. I have found it perfect for my needs and will probably be expanding on its use in my applications in the future. A bonus is that you can get a report's parameters from an API and so could generate dynamic inputs in whatever program is consuming it. I definitely suggest Jasper Reports to anyone looking for an alternative to something like Crystal Reports.
Dear Mr.Halasz
Thank you very much for this article, i was looking for a free/opensource reporting tools for Core 3,for along time until i came across your great article.
But when i try to print the report the Print From Browser icon dos not print.
Is there a way to print the report or it is disabled in the open source.
BTW. i am using Blazor Server with core 3.0.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
please check the sample app running, fastreport.zoltanhalasz.net/, print from browser. It seems to work fine here.
second option, try to use my code, and see if it works locally, it is using .net core 2.2 or below. github.com/zoltanhalasz/FastReport...
third option, save the prepared report in fpx format, and then install the Fastreport viewer fast-report.com/en/product/fast-re..., which can open it and save in pdf/xls, or print it.
Honestly I did not try with .net core 3.0 or above... no Idea why it doesn't work.
First Of all thank you very much for your quick response.
sorry it was my mistake because im trying to press the icon it self i should click on the word says Print From Browser.
Please if you came across any thing that help with using fast report with Blazor.
Please kindly notify me on the following email: T.Alk...@Gmail.com.
I will much appreciate your help
UPDATE: Just learned they are on on holiday until January 11th!
That explains why I cannot get replies to my tickets or phone calls at all. I've build a .NET Core 3.1 solution. (Your example, though good, generates an embedded PDF (iframe) which prints with a dialog.) We can find no way in Core to print (without the print dialog, directly... as within my .NET Core console app which we will run as a Windows Service.)
I really don't know the answer to your question. Try exporting the fpx file, and print it with the report viewer application, maybe this solves your question. But I didn't study this deeper to be able to help you.
1.)Im not sure if this is free? I think the demo can only print 5 pages and there's a watermark indicating that its a demo version.
2.)How did you design the report? Do they have a designer? I went to their website and saw they have an online designer. Is there an offline designer that is integrated with Visual studio?
I designed the fpx file starting from one of their demo files and then editing the xml file in VS Code.
The viewer is free, so you can export any report from your app in fpx format and print it from the viewer, or export to excel, pdf, word fast-report.com/en/product/fast-re...
I see. So you edited the xml from visual studio. So if you wanted to use the designer to create a report, then you need to buy? Or you can use the designer for free?
I'm quite sure that the demo trial can only print 5 pages max though it was mentioned on their website.
There is also a module allowing for pixel perfects multi pager document kind of reporting as well with options like grouping, alignment, report header, page header, report footer, page footer, summary, repeat by, page setup and many more allowing you to create reports like invoice salary slips bank statements tickets etc.
There are many other options which includes embedding, exporting in various formats, email scheduling, user role management, support of SSO (like CAS, LDAP, active directory, Oauth etc). Entire application can be white labelled. There are more than 30+ charting options and it is also possible to extend and integrate any sort of javascript charts like D3, C3, chartsjs etc. By default there are also a lot of advanced statistical and scientific charting options allowing users to fulfill their analytical data viz need as well as visualize huge amount of data.
No. Only students eligible for FAST must be able to take the course at no charge, including tuition, books, fees, and other educational materials. All other dual credit students attending high school in a school district or charter school in Texas can be charged tuition and other course costs as long as the tuition amount does not exceed the maximum rate specified through rule by Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
No. There are no limits to the number of courses or semester credit hours in this program. Students who meet all FAST eligibility requirements can enroll for eligible dual credit courses at no cost to the student at participating institutions, and the funds will be paid to the institution at the confirmed tuition rate established for the academic year.
