As of July 2017, you can now view reports and document objects like FlexReports, PDFs, and SSRS documents with FlexViewer for WPF. FlexViewer has already launched for WinForms, UWP, and ASP.NET MVC. We'll walk through how to:
- Load reports from FlexReport
- Load PDFs
- Load SSRS documents
Loading FlexReport in FlexViewer
Step 1: Create a WPF Application and name it FlexReportSample. Step 2: Drop C1FlexViewer on the form. Step 3: Add a reference to C1.WPF.FlexViewer.4 in the application. Step 4: Create a resources folder and add a .flxr FlexReport (for example, add FlexCommonTasks_XML.flxr). Step 5: In the XAML code, set the following properties for FlexViewer:
<c1:C1FlexViewer x:Name="fv" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ZoomMode="PageWidth"/>
Step 6: Go to the MainPage_Loaded event in the code-behind. Step 7: Paste the following code in the event:
Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
Stream \_reportStream = asm.GetManifestResourceStream("FlexReportSample.Resources.FlexCommonTasks\_XML.flxr");
\_flexReport.Load(\_reportStream, "Simple List");
fv.DocumentSource = _flexReport;
Loading a PDF in FlexViewer
Step 1: Create a WPF Application and name it PDFDocumentSourceSample. Step 2: Drop C1FlexViewer on the form. Step 3: Create a resources folder and add a PDF file (for example, add Invoice.pdf). Step 4: In the XAML code, set the following properties for FlexViewer:
<c1:C1FlexViewer x:Name="fv" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ZoomMode="PageWidth"/>
Step 5: Go to the MainPage_Loaded event in the code-behind. Step 6: Paste the following code in the event:
C1PdfDocumentSource pdfDocumentSource = new C1PdfDocumentSource();
using (Stream stream = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(@"PdfDocumentSourceSample.Resources.Invoice.pdf"))
pdfDocumentSource.LoadFromStream(stream);
fv.DocumentSource = pdfDocumentSource;
Loading an SSRS Document in FlexViewer
Step 1: Create a WPF Application and name it SSRSDocumentSourceSample. Step 2: Drop C1FlexViewer on the form. Step 3: In the XAML code, set the following properties for FlexViewer:
<c1:C1FlexViewer x:Name="fv" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ZoomMode="PageWidth"/>
Step 5: Go to the MainPage_Loaded event in the code-behind. Step 6: Paste the following code in the event:
System.Net.NetworkCredential _credential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("ssrsUserName", "ssrsPassword", "");
C1SSRSDocumentSource _ssrsDocSource = new C1SSRSDocumentSource();
\_ssrsDocSource.Credential = \_credential;
\_ssrsDocSource.DocumentLocation = new SSRSReportLocation(\_ssrsServerUrl, "AdventureWorks/Product Catalog");
fv.DocumentSource = _ssrsDocSource;
