Hello there,
I'm evaluating multiple options for Reporting tools in order to integrate with my ASP.NET MVC web application. I found your tool of interest, downloaded, and installed it and went ahead to use it Report Designer and Server Manager. However, I wasn't able to locate any documentation or .NET assemblies for programmatic integration with my existing web application. I wanted to check from you if you guys offer APIs for project integration or are the users simply limited to using the report designer and server manager tools without any programmatic access? If yes, I'd appreciate if you could share some more information with me in this regard.
Thanks,
Asheesh

The are several ways in integrating SR in your Web Application, and this depends on your requirements/needs: using the Seal Web Server to execute the reports Directly opening and executing a report from you controller In the current version, there is no API/Wrapper object that could simplify the integration (could come in the future if projects are driving this...), so you have to understand and stick the current .Net Object and code. A future version will probably propose to execute report through the Web Report Server by using HTTP request (probably REST or Web Services). Check this first from http://sealreport.codeplex.com/documentationThen you can have a look at the code in Web Report Server project: HomeController.cs contains all you need to load a report from a file and execute it... But to make it simple, the following code shows you how to load a report from a file, execute it and display the HTML result: Code: Repository repository = Repository.Create();
Report report = Report.LoadFromFile(@"C:\ProgramData\Seal Report Repository\Reports\Dashboard - Sales.srex", repository);
ReportExecution execution = new ReportExecution() { Report = report };
execution.Execute();
while (report.Status != ReportStatus.Executed) System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
string result = execution.GenerateHTMLResult();
Process.Start(result);
