This quick start topic guides you through a step-by-step process of creating a simple application for loading a SSRS report in the FlexViewer control. It uses a SSRS report named AdventureWorks, from the ComponentOne report server.

The following image shows a SSRS report opened in FlexViewer.

To load a SSRS report in FlexViewer programmatically

• Step 1: Setting up the application
• Step 2: Load the SSRS report in FlexViewer
• Step 3: Build and run the project

Step 1: Setting up the application

1. Create a new WPF application.
2. Drag and drop C1FlexViewer control in the XAML view.
3. Add Loaded="Window_Loaded" to the <Window> tag in XAML view to create the Windows_Loaded event.

Step 2: Load the SSRS report in FlexViewer

1. Switch to the code view and add the following code to initialize the variables to be used as parameters for NetWorkCredential Property.
   • Visual Basic
   • C#

   • Visual Basic

   Shared ReadOnly
   ssrsUrl As String = "http:// server url",
   ssrsUserName As String = "*",
   ssrsPassword As String = "*", 
   ssrsDomain As String = String.Empty
   

   • C#

   static readonly string
   ssrsUrl = "http:// server url",
   ssrsUserName = "*",
   ssrsPassword = "*",
   ssrsDomain = string.Empty;
   

2. Add the following code in the Windows_Loaded event to provide the location of the report on the server using DocumentLocation and set the credentials using Credential property:
   • Visual Basic
   • C#

   • Visual Basic

   Dim ssrsDocSource As New C1SSRSDocumentSource()
   ssrsDocSource.DocumentLocation = New SSRSReportLocation(ssrsUrl,
                                    "AdventureWorks/Sales Order Detail")
   ssrsDocSource.Credential = New NetworkCredential(ssrsUserName,
                              ssrsPassword, ssrsDomain)
   

   • C#

   C1SSRSDocumentSource ssrsDocSource = new C1SSRSDocumentSource();
   ssrsDocSource.DocumentLocation = new SSRSReportLocation(ssrsUrl, 
                                    "AdventureWorks/Sales Order Detail");
   ssrsDocSource.Credential = new NetworkCredential(ssrsUserName, 
                              ssrsPassword, ssrsDomain);
   

3. Render the SSRS report in the FlexViewer control using DocumentSource property.
   
   • Visual Basic
   • C#

   • Visual Basic

   viewer.DocumentSource = ssrsDocSource
   

   • C#

   viewer.DocumentSource = ssrsDocSource;
   

Step 3: Build and run the project

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to build the project.
2. Press F5 to run the application.
