In this lesson, you will learn how to create reports at runtime. A report showing a list of Tasks will be created in the WinForms application at runtime and then will be available for printing in both WinForms and ASP.NET applications.

Tip

You can also create a new report in an ASP.NET application (see Create and View Reports in an ASP.NET Application).

• Run the WinForms application and go to the Reports List View.

  

• Create a new report by clicking the New button ().

• Name this report “Tasks Report”, set the Data Type to “Task” and click Next.

  

  Note

  The Data Type drop-down list shows only those business classes that have the DefaultClassOptionsAttribute or VisibleInReportsAttribute applied.

• Add the following fields.

  • Subject
  • Priority
  • Status
  • Percent Completed
• Click Next to skip the grouping configuration.
• Set the Layout to “Tabular” and click Next.
• Set the Style to “Casual” and click Next.
• Set the title to “Tasks” and click Finish.

• After clicking Finish, the Runtime Report Designer will be invoked.

  

• Save the report by clicking the Save button () and open it from the Reports List View. This report will also be available in the ASP.NET version of the application.
