Two brand new controls have been added to the ASP.NET suite of controls designed to enhance the developer experience in conjunction with our reporting toolset. Take a look at the enhanced toolbox:
The ReportDocumentMap is designed to assist you in creating an easy to use document map as defined by the underlying report. The ReportParametersPanel coordinates the process of passing parameters to the report. Both work in a simple fashion:
- Drag the controls on to the design surface:
- As before, select the report to which the ReportViewer will be bound:
- For each of the remaining reporting controls, select the appropriate viewer (this functionality is similar to how you would tell the existing toolbar which ReportViewer to control):
- Step 3 needs to be repeated with the Toolbar, the ReportDocumentMap, and the ReportParametersPanel.
Take a look at the results:
This should be a great addition to your already powerful arsenal when developing applications in ASP.NET.
As always, if there are any comments and/or questions, feel free to get a hold of me!
