Hello, this is my first post, think this project greatest.

 I'm testing to save a report to pdf with some samples I found, but it gives me "Type 'PageBuilder' is not defined. (BC30002)"

This is the code:

Imports ICSharpCode.Reports.Core

    Dim engine As New ReportEngine()
    Dim pm As New ReportParameters()
    Dim reportPath As String = "Report.srd"
    Dim reportModel As ReportModel = ReportEngine.LoadReportModel(reportPath)

Dim PdfRenderer As pdfRenderer
Dim pageBuilder As PageBuilder = engine.CreatePageBuilder(reportModel) 

pageBuilder.BuildExportList() 

        pdfRenderer.Start()
        pdfRenderer.RenderOutput()
        pdfRenderer.End()

What's wrong? The preview works fine.

Thanks
 

Ok, I found the solution, here is the code to write a report to a pdf file for starters:      

Imports ICSharpCode.Reports.Core
Imports ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.Exporter.ExportRenderer

         Dim engine As New ReportEngine()
         Dim pm As New ReportParameters()
         Dim reportPath As String = "Report.srd"
         Dim reportModel As ReportModel = ReportEngine.LoadReportModel(reportPath)
         Dim pageBuilder As ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.Exporter.BasePager = engine.CreatePageBuilder(reportModel)  //<--changed here
         pageBuilder.BuildExportList()
         pm.SqlParameters.Clear()
         Dim PdfRenderer As pdfRenderer
         pdfRenderer = PdfRenderer.CreateInstance(pageBuilder.Pages, "er.pdf", false)
         pdfRenderer.Start()
         pdfRenderer.RenderOutput()
         pdfRenderer.End()

Hi superbem,

thanks for this small example.

if you download the source of SharpReporting you will find more of them.

But be carefull, i'm switching from PdfSharp to itextSharp, so, at the time the pdf creation  are not working properly.
