Print reports from .Net

[peterb58]

Hi,

I have scanned some of the posts here ,but would like confirmation of a question asked in a development meeting where we are working on the next generation of our application.

Our application is essentially a database with a few extras. In the past we have written our own print templates. What the dev team want to do now, is for me to design the templates in CR and for them to simply call the CR print engine and spit the data out.

Can this be done in .NET? Is there a comprhensive BO White paper out there?

thanks

Pete

In the RDC (should be similar with .NET):

Report.Print False

prints the report and suppresses the printout dialog). You would need to first load the report object, pass the report file name in, provide parameter values if any, and user id & password if needed. Very doable.
