Hi... i am using SAP crystal report in my project but i am very interested in your reporting tool.Small query is how can i align in your reporting tool as header and grouping and all.I am sending the pdf format so that i want exactly the same thing.please help to solve this by sending an sample application.
Hello,
I am just checking the progress of this issue and was wondering if you managed to achieve your goal or if you need any further assistance on the matter.
Hello, I was following this thread and I have a question about a bit older version of infragistic framework. I need to generate the report on code-side. While I was reading the example I have discovered that there is no Property DesignTimeSettings, PageSettings and I have no PageHeaderSection class, and I can not add report.Sections.Add(new Section(new Table())); because Sections accept only types derived from ReportSection.
the only class I can use is EmbeddedVisualReportSection, but with it I do not know how to control margins, alignment and how to split a table (that I tried to do by Grid component) through the consecutive pages.
I have little older version of infragistics library, from 2009. Do you think that this can be the issue and the example you have given has to application in this case?
All the previous classes and components had the same structure, as I was following documentation and forum. Is printing the component that have changed a lot?
Hello Lukas,
The classes you are using can only be used to make a report of a visual section of the application and is not very customizable. The sample I attached in my post uses our NetAdvantage Reporting product, which is a separate product for creating reports. Here you can read more about this product:

and download a trial version.
Hope this helps you.
Hello Stefan,
I have downloaded the trail version. Could you provide me with the example project where the report is generated by code?
Those *.igr designers are nice but I need pure code-base solution. I tried to use class Reporting and Section, but I could not locate anything else except EmbeddedVisualReportSection. I need some type that derives from ReportSection that could be the parent for Table. It would be great if I could create table as there exists in Report1.igr file (I do not need bindings).
The second question is: how to do pdf export by code. There is pdf export in the interface for preview but in Report.Export() function there is only one value of the enum OutputFormat.XPS
I have been looking into your questions and I can say that our Reporting Productcurrently can create Reports via the designer. Also the Report and EmbeddedVisualReportSection classes are part of diffrent assmebly and this Report can only be used for printing and exporting to XPS. If tou want I can log a Product Idea for designing Reports run time using NetAdvantage Reporting product (which has the functionaltity to export to pdf).
Looking forward for your reply.
After some research Export to PDF has been determine as a new Product Idea. I have sent your Product Idea directly to our product management team. Our product team chooses new Product Ideas for development based on popular feedback from our customer base. Infragistics continues to monitor application development for all of our products, so as trends appear in requested ideas, we can plan accordingly.
We value your input, and our philosophy is to enhance our toolset based on customer feedback. If your idea is chosen for development, you will be notified at that time. Your reference number for this Product Idea is PI13030053
If you would like to follow up on your Product Idea at a later point, you may contact Developer Support management via email. Please include the reference number of your Product Idea in the subject and body of your email message. You can reach Developer Support management through the following email address: dsmanager@infragistics.com
Also I can say that if you want to print an element without rendering it, you should call its Measure and Arrange methods.
Thank you for your answer. In that case I would be interested in the first option: NetAdvnatage for WPF pack.
Do you have any example that includes: generating Table (but not drawing XamDataGrid), adding XamChart (with scaling to according to the paper size), preview + printing? Is there a feature that offer to print some pages horizontally and other vertically in one printout?
The pdf feature would be great here, when such feature could be implemented? I have to report those things to my team lead.
The first three requirements are available in the Reporting assembly which is aprt of the NetAdvnatage for WPF pack, while the 2-nd,3-rd and 4-th are available in the NetAdvantage Reproting product. If you want I can log a product idea either for adding "Export to PDF" functionality to the WPF Reporting assembly or "Design Reprots run time" in the NetAdvantage Reporting product. I can also log both product ideas.
maybe I will formulate my question in a different way. I need those functionalities in the library:
What classes should I use to obtain this result in the newest version of infragistics? Is there any sample project that simulates this behaviour?
