CompiledReportHandler Class
In This Topic
By default the handler is registered with the *.ActiveReport file extension to pick up any request for an ActiveReport that has been compiled into a CLR/.NET assembly. The handler loads the ActiveReport from the specified assembly, runs and exports it to a specified format, defaulting to HTML.
Object Model
Syntax
'Declaration Public NotInheritable Class CompiledReportHandler Inherits ArHandlerBase
public sealed class CompiledReportHandler : ArHandlerBase
Remarks
Uses reflection to load the assembly and the specified report class; executes, and exports the report.
Assembly is to be specified as the first folder, and report class name as the subfolder. For example: http://localhost/MyAssemblyName/ActiveReport1.ActiveReport where MyAssemblyName.dll is the actual assembly filename, and ActiveReport1 the report class name. The special folder name indicating the assembly is evaluated from right to left, so if there are multiple folder levels, the folder name directly preceding the file name is always the assembly name.
For example, this would allow the following URL to be used:"http://localhost/AnyFolder/AnySubFolder/MyAssemblyName/ActiveReport1.ActiveReport">http://localhost/AnyFolder/AnySubFolder/MyAssemblyName/ActiveReport1.ActiveReport
You may also set any parameters you've added to the report's Parameters collection via the DataSource icon in the URL. For example:
"http://localhost/AnyFolder/AnySubFolder/MyAssemblyName/ActiveReport1.ActiveReport?Country=USA">http://localhost/AnyFolder/AnySubFolder/MyAssemblyName/ActiveReport1.ActiveReport?Country=USA
