Question

User1211961793 posted

Hi ALL,

I want to generate MS report dynamically according to user selection of columns.

Let's say user have list of all available columns and user will select 5 columns out of 10 and click on Get Report. As a resultant output report should be displayed with 5 columns only.

How can i do these with VS rdlc and asp.net report viewer control.

Please help me.

Thanks.

You must read RDLC specification and then create the report using C# or VB. As RDLC is simple XML behind the scenes, then only hard task is to learn RDLC spec. As a short term solution, you could create a RDLC report in VS using visual editor with 2 columns, then save, then open it with Notepad to analyze the XML generated... then create the same report with 5 columsn, and see how those cols are added into the XML, etc. In doing that, you would have a basic XML report code to start with.
