How to load the report from the database

You must load the report using the Stream option available with writer.LoadReport() method. To load the report from the database, please follow these steps:

From byte array

    byte[] bytes = ""; // provide your byte array report data
    MemoryStream reportStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
    BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter writer = new BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter();
    writer.LoadReport(reportStream);

From base64String

    string base64String = ""; // provide your base64 report data
    byte[] bytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
    MemoryStream reportStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
    BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter writer = new BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter();
    writer.LoadReport(reportStream);

From string

    string reportData = ""; // provide your Report data
    byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(reportData);
    MemoryStream reportStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
    BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter writer = new BoldReports.Writer.ReportWriter();
    writer.LoadReport(reportStream);
