Recently I have started to work with SSRS and found ReportingCloud. It says
ReportingCloud provides an open source quality implementation
as an extension of the RDL specification
I haven't found any tutorial/documentation on how to use it in sourceforge or via google search.
Can anyone give an walk-through/example on How to use ReportingCloud?
There is one partial example available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/reportingcloud/forums/forum/1116661/topic/4571059.
The example takes an existing RDL file, parses and executes it and then places the HTML output into an asp.net Literal Control for display in the browser.
That code snippet is repeated here:
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load("C:\MyFolder\MyReport.rdl");
RDLParser rdlp = new RDLParser(xmlDoc.OuterXml);
rdlp.Parse();
MemoryStreamGen ms = new MemoryStreamGen();
ProcessReport pr = new ProcessReport(rdlp.Report, ms);
pr.Run(null, OutputPresentationType.ASPHTML);
// Dump memory stream (HTML Text) to an out-of-box ASPX Literal control
this.LiteralReportHtml.Text = ms.GetText();
To do this you'll need a reference to ReportingCloud.Engine.
I'm not sure exactly what your bigger goals are but I'd like to draw your attention to another open source project on GitHub called My-FyiReporting https://github.com/majorsilence/My-FyiReporting
Just like ReportingCloud, My-FyiReporting is a fork of FyiReporting (which has gone dormant).
The big difference as far as you are concerned is that My-FyiReporting has ASP.NET samples and an ASP.NET user control link. This might be the fast way to get to what you need.
File ORIGINALPROJECT.TXT from ReportingCloud says:
The ReportingCloud is a fork from the original project fyiReporting
4.1 (http://www.fyireporting.com).
File readme.md from My-FyiReporting says:
My-FyiReporting is a fork of fyiReporting. I cannot stress this
enough. This is a FORK. The main purpose is to make sure that I have a
copy of fyiReporting since that project seems to be dead.

Why is this code added to MetadataTypesHandler.ProcessRequest() in ORMLite for ServiceStack?
httpRes.ContentType = "application/x-ssz-metatypes";
var encJson = CryptUtils.Encrypt(EndpointHostConfig.PublicKey, json, RsaKeyLengths.Bit2048);
httpRes.Write(encJson);
Looks like it's signing the page but the content type is non-standard.
That code lives in ServiceStack project itself, it doesn't have nothing to do with OrmLite. That code is essentially the beginning part of this future feature to provide enough metadata suitable for being able to code-gen DTOs locally as a substitute for sharing dlls. Because it involves code-gen from a remote source it's encrypted to give us better security/control on how and what gets code-gen'ed.
When we publish some page/dynamic component from tridion is it possible to add some external multimedia file/content(ex:jpg image) in to current executing/rendering package at publish time.So that final transportation package has this binary file present along with original published content?
Is this achivable using customization of tridion renderer/resolver?If yes please provide some inputs.
*Note:*The binary content that needs to be pushed in to package at publish time is not present as multimedia component in tridion, it is located at other file location outside tridion CMS.Instead we have some stub multimedia component being used inside published component/page which has some dummy image. we plan to replace the stub image with original image at publish(rendering/resolving) time.
Since we have huge bulk of binary content stored in DAM tool we dont want that data to be recreated as multimedia component in tridion, insted we want to use that data by querying DAM tool and attach it in to tridion package with some logical referencesplanning to maintain one to one mapping between stub multimedia comp tcmid to original content in some mapping DB for reference).
Please let us know if any solution is there to attach external binary content to package at publish time.
The best - and easiest way - is to use the mechanism provided by Tridion out-of-the-box for this. Create a new multimedia component, select "External" in the resource type drop-down, and type the URL to the object. As long as you can address it with a URL, it will work exactly as you want (item will be added to package and sent to delivery server).
If this is not good enough for you, then yes, you can add it to the package yourself. I've done this in the past with code somewhat like this:
FileInfo file = // Weird logic to get a FileInfo object from external system
Item item = package.GetItem("My original Item");
item.SetAsStream(file.OpenRead());
This replaced the content of my original component with the actual file I wanted. This will work for you IF the original component is also a multimedia component. If it's not, just create a new item with your own name, etc. If possible, do use the out-of-the-box process instead.
PS: FileInfo Class.
As Nuno suggested the best way is to use multimedia component with 'External' resource type. You may not need to create these manually, you can automate using core services or API programs.
Another way I used before to create zip file at run time and add same to package with following code. Hope it may help.
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
zip.Save(ms);
downloadAllInOneURL = String.Format("ZipAsset{0}.zip", uniqueZipID);
downloadAllInOneURL = m_Engine.PublishingContext.RenderedItem.AddBinary(ms, downloadAllInOneURL, "", "application/zip").Url;
downloadAllInOneSize = getSize(ms.Length);
}
i have site where i need to develop site search functionality. the data may reside in database table or may in aspx page as static word. i search google and found that lucene.net may be appropriate for the site search functionality. but i never use lucene.net so i dont know how to create lucene.net index file. i want to develop 2 utility in my site like
1) one for create & update index file reading data from database table & physical aspx file.
2) utility which search multiple single or multiple keyword against index file.
i found a bit of code snippet which i just do not understand
string indexFileLocation = #"C:\Index";
string stopWordsLocation = #"C:\Stopwords.txt";
var directory = FSDirectory.Open(new DirectoryInfo(indexFileLocation));
Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(
Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_29, new FileInfo(stopWordsLocation));
what is Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_29 what is stopWordsLocation
how data need to store in Stopwords.txt
but have no concept to develop the above 2 utility. so please guide me how search my DB and as well as aspx files with lucene.net....i will be glad if some one discuss here with bit of sample code. thanks
Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_29 just indicates the Lucene version your are using, you should always use the most up to date in new code. It is there for backward compatibility in case you upgrade your Lucene with a version that changes the StandardAnalyzer, but you dont want to re-index all your data.
The stopWordsLocation is the location of a file with your stop words, words you dont want to index.
IE: it, he, she, the, or, and etc...
Its a regular text file, each line should contain 1 stop word, and separate each line with a linebreak.

I use excel through vb.net/asp.net to generate reports from a web page and then send the file down to the user. We've had some issues with Excel being super slow/inefficient/not closing (even when we keep track of the process id and try to kill it in code...). So I'm looking for some flexible alternatives. We need a replacement that can:
Allow for inidivdual cell formatting including borders (different settings on each side), background colors, font styles/coloring, etc...
Allow for cell merging
Allow for formatting (bolding in this case) of a portion of the text inside of a cell while leaving the rest of the text unchanged
Image insertion/repositioning inside a cell (not crucial)
Multiple Worksheets per Workbook
These are all the features I can think of off hand, any help or suggestiong at alternative libraries to look at would be appreciated. We are running Excel 2007 on the server but we are rolling out Office 2010 to clients so I think that might open the doors for some more supported file formats, if that helps.
After looking through the various options and performing more independent research I ended up using EPPlus, which you can get # http://epplus.codeplex.com.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I recommend you to use the DevExpress.XtraReports from DevExpress. It is a Licensed product, but offers you a friendly toolkit for generating great and complexity reports. It is well documented and easy to use, once you define a template (REPX) you can populate it with data by assigning to each element a value as well as using [mail merge] feature which will be automatically replaced once you bind with data the report. In the core of such technology is a well OO design of classes. Once you generate the report you can export it to the most common formats: XLS, HTML, PDF, RTF...
public void GenerateReportFile(string rptFileName, string param1, int param2)
{
XtraReport report = null;
try
{
report = new XtraReport();
//-- loads the layout template (repx file)
report.LoadLayout("SomeDirectory\report_template.repx");
//-- assign data to report controls
report.FindControl("Label1", true).Text = string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", fecha1);
report.FindControl("Label2", true).Text = string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", fecha1);
//-- gets data from some Data Acces Layer method and assig it to the report DataSource property
DALReport dal = new DALReport();
report.DataSource = dal.GetReport1Data(ExpEmp, param1, param2);
report.DataMember = "data";
report.ExportToPdf(rptFileName, options);
}
catch { throw; }
finally { if (report != null) { report.Dispose(); } report = null; }
}

There is another free library for .Net iTextSharp, this library
was originally written for Java, then was translated to C# for .Net
usage. The library is mainly for PDF documents creation but some
versions also supports XLS documents creation.
GNU plot is a little bit of a pain to get to run on windows but it is a an awesome tool
It sounds like you are using a library that opens Excel and uses MS Office Excel objects to create the Excel file. Since you are using 2007 and above, you may want to consider creating the Excel file manually using a library that creates the XML (therefore, Excel doesn't open at all).
Check out ExcelLibrary.
While doing a search on this, I found this page (on StackOverflow) that provides some sample code.
Office Web Components (though dated) is free and has worked for me in the past.
If you want to spend the loot, Aspose Cells is a good way to go also.
Does omebody has ideas how to fix "Method not found: 'Void System.Web.Mvc.ViewContext..ctor(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext, System.Web.Mvc.IView, System.Web.Mvc.ViewDataDictionary, System.Web.Mvc.TempDataDictionary)'." exception. This solution doesn't work http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/aspnet/installing-the-spark-view-engine-into-asp-net-mvc-2-preview-2.aspx.
Thans for all.
I had to download the spark view engine source code (http://sparkviewengine.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=27600). Once I did that I went through each of the projects that had a reference to the 1.0 version of System.Web.Mvc assembly and updated to reference to point to System.Web.Mvc 2.0. From there you can build the solution (in visual studio) and you will find that a whole bunch of tests start to fail. You can attempt to fix them (by adding the additional TextWriter parameter you will find is now needed). You will also see that the SparkView.cs file complains about a missing parameter. In the Render method (line 100 of the source code I downloaded) I had to update the instantiation of the wrappedViewContext to look like this (add writer to the end of the list of parameters):
public void Render(ViewContext viewContext, TextWriter writer)
{
var wrappedHttpContext = new HttpContextWrapper(viewContext.HttpContext, this);
var wrappedViewContext = new ViewContext(
new ControllerContext(wrappedHttpContext, viewContext.RouteData, viewContext.Controller),
viewContext.View,
viewContext.ViewData,
viewContext.TempData,
writer); // <-- add the writer to the end of the list of parameters
...
}
Once the code is updated you can run the build.cmd script that is in the root of the source you downloaded. The build process will create a zip file in the build/dist folder. Take those new dll's and add them to your website. Things should work once again.
At the time of this answer, MVC 2 RC2 bits are available at sparkviewengine.codeplex.com
http://sparkviewengine.codeplex.com/releases/view/41143
It was actually Erik from the post mentioned by R0MANARMY who helped get those bits out there.
Looks like you can also download compiled binaries from here. As the post says, it isn't a final (or official) release, but at least it seems like the unit tests pass.
