Report parameters

Provides property options to pass or set report parameters default values at run-time using the parameters property. You can set the report parameters while creating the Report Viewer control in a application loaded.

In this tutorial, the sales-order-dtail.rdl report is used, and it can be downloaded from here.

Set report parameter

1. Set the default value data to the Valuesproperty and name of the report parameter to the Name property.

   The parameter name is case sensitive, it should be same as available in the report definition.

2. The following code example illustrates how to set report parameter in the ReportLoaded event.

   this.ReportViewer.ReportLoaded += (sen, arg) =>
   {
       List<BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter> parameters = new List<BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter>();
       BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter parameter = new BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter();
       parameter.Name = "SalesOrderNumber";
       parameter.Values = new List<string>() { "SO50756" };
       parameters.Add(parameter);
       this.ReportViewer.SetParameters(parameters);
   };
   
   this.ReportViewer.ReportServiceURL = @"https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportViewer";
   this.ReportViewer.ReportPath = "~/Resources/docs/sales-order-detail.rdl";
   this.ReportViewer.RefreshReport();

Set report parameter in Web API

1. Set the report path ReportPath and ReportServiceURL properties of the Report Viewer as in following code snippet.

   this.ReportViewer.ReportServiceURL = @"https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportViewer";
   this.ReportViewer.ReportPath = "~/Resources/docs/sales-order-dtail.rdl";
   this.ReportViewer.RefreshReport();

2. To set parameter default value in Web API Controller, use the following code in the OnReportLoaded method.

   [NonAction]
   public void OnReportLoaded(ReportViewerOptions reportOption)
   {
       List<BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter> userParameters = new List<BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter>();
       userParameters.Add(new BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter()
       {
           Name = "SalesOrderNumber",
           Values = new List<string>() { "SO50756" }
       });
       reportOption.ReportModel.Parameters = userParameters;
   }

Get report parameter

You can use the following code sample to get parameter names and set parameter default values.

this.ReportViewer.ReportLoaded += (sen, arg) =>
{
    var reportParameters = this.ReportViewer.GetParameters();
    List<BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter> parameters = new List<BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter>();

    if (reportParameters != null)
    {
        foreach (var parameter in reportParameters)
        {
            parameters.Add(new BoldReports.UI.Xaml.ReportParameter()
            {
                Name = parameter.Name,
                Values = new List<string>() { "SO50756" }
            });
        }
    }

    this.ReportViewer.SetParameters(parameters);
};

this.ReportViewer.ReportServiceURL = @"https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportViewer";
this.ReportViewer.ReportPath = "~/Resources/docs/sales-order-detail.rdl";
this.ReportViewer.RefreshReport();

Get report parameter in Web API

The ReportHelper class provides methods that help you to get the report parameters used in the report. The following helper methods used to get parameter with or without values.

You can use the following code sample to get parameter names and set parameter default values.

1. Set the report path ReportPath and ReportServiceURL properties of the Report Viewer as in following code snippet.

   this.ReportViewer.ReportServiceURL = @"https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportViewer";
   this.ReportViewer.ReportPath = "~/Resources/docs/sales-order-dtail.rdl";
   this.ReportViewer.RefreshReport();

2. To set parameter default value based on the parameter name in Web API Controller, use the following code in the OnReportLoaded method.

   public class ReportViewerController : ApiController, IReportController
   {
       Dictionary<string, object> jsonArray = null;
       public object PostReportAction(Dictionary<string, object> jsonResult)
       {
           jsonArray = jsonResult;
           return ReportHelper.ProcessReport(jsonResult, this);
       }
   
       ....
       [NonAction]
       public void OnReportLoaded(ReportViewerOptions reportOption)
       {
           var reportParameters = ReportHelper.GetParameters(jsonArray, this);
           List<BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter> setParameters = new List<BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter>();
   
           if (reportParameters != null)
           {
               foreach (var rptParameter in reportParameters)
               {
                   setParameters.Add(new BoldReports.Web.ReportParameter()
                   {
                       Name = rptParameter.Name,
                       Values = new List<string>() { "SO50756" }
                   });
               }
   
               reportOption.ReportModel.Parameters = setParameters;
           }
       }
   }
