Exporting file from report view problem!

Dear All,

I have another problem. We are using the winform to develop our windows application uisng VS.NET 2005. We would like to have our reports in asp.net using .rdl so that our users can view from any browser such as IE, etc.

In the windows application, we create a report form by using the WebBrowser control comming with VS.NET 2005 becuse we just want to use the same reports built in aspx. When we view the report, the reports render correctly from the webbrowser control, but when we export the report into excel or pdf, it starts opening a new browser from the control but it failed to generate the excel or pdf. It fails to export from webbrowser control but it works just fine from the IE webbrowser.

Could all please advise how can I export report into excel or pdf from the WebBrowse control

And could all please advise how to print full report contents from the webbrowser control in winform as well

Regards,

LG

    Do you see an error for the failed export

    Have you considered using the reportviewer winforms control instead of hosting the webbrowser control The winforms control will be better able to integrate with your winforms application. As far as the webforms print failing when launched from within a web browser control, this is a known issue. You may wish to contact Microsoft support for possible solutions to this issue. There is no workaround other than using the winforms control instead.
