 Remarks

You can create new reports by instantiating from this class. New pages can be added to the report by creating Page objects and adding them to the report's Pages collection. Items are added to the Report indirectly by adding them to one of the pages contained in the report.

Creating reports in XAML

MindFusion reports can be created declaratively, in XAML. The code of a very simple report is displayed below:

XAML

<r:Report x:Name="myReport">
  <r:Page>
    <r:DataRange Repeat="10" Size="100,20" Background="#f1faff" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
      <r:DataRange.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
          <r:ItemContainer>
            <r:Label Size="100,20" Text="Item #[RangeItemCurrent()]" Padding="1" />
          </r:ItemContainer>
        </DataTemplate>
      </r:DataRange.ItemTemplate>
    </r:DataRange>
  </r:Page>
</r:Report>

In the above example the r namespace is declared as follows:

XAML

xmlns:r="http://mindfusion.eu/reporting/silverlight"

Running the report

Once the report is initialized, you need to process it by calling its Run method. After the report has been processed it is ready to be used in various scenarios.

The report can be printed by using a ReportPrinter object. For details, check Printing.

The report can be displayed on a Page through the built-in Report Viewer.
