I am trying to evaluate the use of RTF2PDF /TextDynamic Server with the Reporting Option from withing an ASP.NET application. The objective is to have the end user create document templates in HTML (such as an Invoice Template) and produce a PDF file from the given template. To accomplish this I use the following procedure:
1. Create an HTML file containning apropiate fields , groups, headers and footers using the reporting template syntax of your control.
2. load the HTML file into an RTF2PDF control memo property
3. perform TokenToTemplate conversion using [[ and ]] as start/end markers
4. invoke CreateReport method
5. use onReportState and onFieldGetText events to supply field data.
The problem I am having with the demo DLL is that the OnReportState event never gets fired, only the OnFieldGetText gets fired. It seems that report template functionality is not active or enabled in this version. Am I doing something wrong????
Below is the code and html file used:
public partial class html2pdf : System.Web.UI.Page
{
SqlConnection dbConn = null;
SqlCommand spQuoteHdr = null;
SqlCommand spQuoteDet = null;
SqlDataReader qHdr = null;
SqlDataReader qDet = null;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int bookID = Convert.ToInt32(Session["BID"]);
int quoteID = 382;
int revID = 0;
dbConn = framework.getSqlConnection();
dbConn.Open();
try
{
spQuoteHdr = getQuoteHdr(dbConn);
spQuoteHdr.Parameters["@pBookID"].Value = bookID;
spQuoteHdr.Parameters["@pQuoteID"].Value = quoteID;
spQuoteHdr.Parameters["@pRevID"].Value = revID;
spQuoteDet = getQuoteDet(dbConn);
spQuoteDet.Parameters["@pBookID"].Value = bookID;
spQuoteDet.Parameters["@pQuoteID"].Value = quoteID;
spQuoteDet.Parameters["@pRevID"].Value = revID;
spQuoteDet.Parameters["@pFshowGroups"].Value = true;
spQuoteDet.Parameters["@pFshowMaterials"].Value = false;
buildReport();
}
finally
{
dbConn.Close();
dbConn.Dispose();
}
}
public void buildReport()
{
string fileName = Server.MapPath(sys.framework.getTempPath()) + "htmlSample.html";
if (File.Exists(fileName))
{
wPDF.RTF2PDF p = new wPDF.RTF2PDF();
p.SetLicense("---", "---", 0);
p.Memo.LoadFromFile(fileName, false, "html");
//p.Memo.TextCommandStr(17, 0, "[[\r\n]]\r\n:\r\n#");
IWPTextCursor cursor = p.Memo.TextCursor;
cursor.FieldsFromTokens("[[", "]]", "");
p.OnReportState += new RTF2PDF.ReportStateEvent(p_OnReportState);
p.OnFieldGetText += new RTF2PDF.FieldGetTextEvent(p_OnFieldGetText);
p.Report.CreateReport();
p.PdfCreator.PDFFile = "memory";
p.PdfCreator.FontMode = 0;
p.PdfCreator.CIDFontMode = 0;
p.PdfCreator.PrintSecond();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
