I've just looking at using SharpReport but I'm having trouble finding any samples.

 What I would like to do is have a form type report and at runtime set the values of some of the label on the form.  Is this possible or do I only have the option to use pull/push data models?

What do you do when the data doesn't necessarily come from a database? 

 TIA

Hi Russ,

the samples are included in the SourceCode of SharpDevelop.

You can get it here:

http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/AccessingTheRepository.ashx

Ih the samples you will find reports that are doing exactly what you would like to do. Mainly have look to 'ContributorsList.srd' this report make havy use of filling fileds with Custom Code.

hi,

This example is to add:

        ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.ReportModel rm = ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.ReportEngine.LoadReportModel("Report1.srd");
       

        ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.BaseTextItem item1 = new ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.BaseTextItem();
        item1.Text = "Nr of Contributor's:";
        item1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(70, 10);
        item1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(110, 20);
        item1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 12);
        item1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
        rm.ReportHeader.Items.Add(item1);

And what about to edit one textitem at runtime that were made at design-time? 

Hi superbeem,

have a look to 'ContributorsList.cs' in method

'private void PushPrinting (object sender,SectionRenderEventArgs e) ' 

    case GlobalEnums.ReportSection.ReportDetail:
     BaseRowItem ri = e.Section.Items[0] as BaseRowItem;
     if (ri != null) {

!! Find the item
      BaseDataItem r = (BaseDataItem)ri.Items.Find("unbound1");
     if (r != null) {

!!Set the value here
             }
     }
     break;

hope this was helpfull to you

Hi,

 To edit a textitem as to be like this:

ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.ReportModel rm = ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.ReportEngine.LoadReportModel("Report1.srd");

try{
     ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.BaseTextItem item1 =(ICSharpCode.Reports.Core.BaseTextItem)rm.ReportHeader.Items.Find("reportTextItem1");
     item1.Text = "Title edit";
     }catch { }

Without the try block it trows exception if doesn't exist the item when finding it.

Hi,

I think this is the best way to debug an report.
