About

This method controls how the CurrentReportSet object is loaded into the application for use. You can use this method as-is and Izenda will load reports in the default manner, but if you want to use a custom location to load data from, you should override this method.

Sample C♯ Methods

DatabaseAdHocConfig Mode

  public override ReportSet LoadReportSet(string reportName)
  {
    try
    {
      string connectionString = @"Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source=LESHA-PC\SQL2012;User ID=dataLogin;Password=dataPassword;Integrated Security=false;";
      string sql = string.Format("SELECT Xml FROM {0} WHERE Name = '{1}'", AdHocSettings.SavedReportsTable, reportName);
      using (System.Data.IDbConnection connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString))
      {
        connection.Open();
        using (System.Data.IDbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand())
        {
          command.CommandText = sql;
          using (System.Data.IDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
          {
            if (reader.Read())
            {
              ReportSet reportSet = new ReportSet();
              reportSet.ReadXml(reader["Xml"].ToString());
              reportSet.OwnerTenantID = new string[] { "_global_" };
              return reportSet;
            }
            else
              return null;
          }
        }
      }
    }
    catch
    {
    }
    return null;
  }

FileSystemAdHocConfig Mode

   public override ReportSet LoadReportSet(string reportName)
  {
    string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(System.IO.Path.Combine(ReportPath, reportName + ".xml"));
    if (!fileName.StartsWith(ReportPath, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
      return null;
    System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileName);
    if (!file.Exists)
      return null;
    System.IO.StreamReader reader = file.OpenText();
    string xml = reader.ReadToEnd();
    reader.Close();
    ReportSet reportSet = new ReportSet();
    try
    {
      reportSet.ReadXml(xml);
    }
    catch
    {
      return null;        
    }
    reportSet.OwnerTenantID = new string[] { "_global_" };
    return reportSet;
  }

Logging Loading Exceptions

The "No Fields Selected" error occurs when there are zero valid fields in the report. The system is designed to hide reports when an exception occurs because it assumes it is a security exception and the user is not allowed to view that report for one of a multitude of reasons. The system is designed to hide reports that are not included in the current users's security credentials. If you would like to log the loading exception, you can do so by wrapping the above method in a try catch block and handling the exception by logging it where you want to view it later.
