Export with a webservice

[r388]

Hi,

I am not an expert, so I need help. How can we do in order to export a report with a webservice (with the language C#) ? What is the code? Moreover The user can choose the format (Excel, PDF...) with a combobox.

Have you any ideas?

Not sure what your question is here. When a report gets deployed to the IIS website and a user (or you) clicks on the report to see it, you automatically get a little drop down box which allows you to choose to export the report in any format you choose.

Are you looking to use a third party app to automatically export the report without going to the website? Are you looking to limit the export options?

A little more detail on this issue would help us answer your question more precisely.

Use the web services part of sql reporting services. I'm not a C# programmer, but I wrote a FAQ about this using vb...

This will allow you to bypass the manual portion of the rendering process.
