In a previous post we discussed how to set the email subject using a restriction value (See "Use Restriction Value as Parameter in Email Subject Output")


For that I would use this code in the Pre-generation script of the email output Device
Code:
@using Seal.Model
@{
ReportOutput output = Model;
var restriction = output.Report.Models[2].Restrictions.FirstOrDefault(i => i.DisplayNameEl == "EmailBuild");
if (restriction != null)
{
    output.EmailSubject = "Performance Test Results for " + restriction.GetEnumDisplayValue(restriction.EnumValues[0]);
}
string result = "1"; //Set result to 0 to cancel the report.
}
@Raw(result)


What if I don't want to use a restriction value but rather a value I generate from SQL dynamically using an ENUM query or something similar. My goal would be to have the same functionality as using a restriction value in the email header but I don't want to have to manually select the restriction value at runtime as I will be triggering this report from cmdline and sending email output. If I use a restriction I have to execute the report, prompt for restriction value, select restriction, and run. What are your thoughts?

Well, actually you can do what you want with your C# script,
if you want to query your database, below is a small sample made on Northwind (it can be adapted to work in all scripts)

Code:
@using Seal.Model
@using System.Data.OleDb;
@{
ReportOutput output = Model;

var connection = output.Report.Sources[0].Connection.GetOpenConnection();
//OR you can build your own connection (Note that it might be an OdbcConnection)
//var connection = new OleDbConnection(output.Report.Sources[0].Connection.FullConnectionString);
//connection.Open();
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "select lastname from employees";
var selectResult = command.ExecuteScalar();

output.Report.LogMessage("MY SELECT result => " + selectResult.ToString());

string result = "1"; //Set result to 0 to cancel the report.
}
@Raw(result)


I hope it helps

Used this and it works great. Many thx!

Code:
@using Seal.Model
@using System.Data.OleDb;
@{
ReportOutput output = Model;
 
var connection = output.Report.Sources[0].Connection.GetOpenConnection();
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "SELECT TOP 1 ....... ORDER BY 1 DESC";
var selectResult = command.ExecuteScalar();
output.Report.LogMessage("MY SELECT result => " + selectResult.ToString());
if (selectResult != null)
{
    output.EmailSubject = "Email Subject Start... " + selectResult.ToString();
} 
string result = "1"; //Set result to 0 to cancel the report.
}
@Raw(result)
