Summary: This white paper discusses the ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit in depth and provides insight from the perspective of the creators. In addition, the article covers how the reports can be used as a template for building other reports by examining the key application features and implementation technologies. (29 printed pages)
Overview
What is the ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit?
ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit is a guide for creating and publishing customizable web reports using ASP.NET. This guide will show developers how to implement feature rich reports without relying on third party reporting tools. Using eight samples, the Reports Starter Kit presents functional online reports and their equivalent versions optimized for printing. Developers will be able to use these sample reports to build their own reports using these techniques and ASP.NET.
Key features:
Server control nesting
Displaying relational data
Running totals
Datagrid paging and sorting
Dynamic image generation with GDI+
Filtering
Detail's Drill down
The Reports Starter Kit was developed using both the in-line and code behind coding models. The SDK version was written using the in-line coding model and is optimized for the ASP.NET Web Matrix Project and the .NET Framework SDK. The second version was written using Microsoft ® Visual Studio.NET using the code-behind coding model. A C# and VB .NET implementation was created for both the SDK version and the Visual Studio.NET version.
Application Flow
The reports home page acts as a selection page for the different reports. The user selects the desired report that they are interested in viewing from this page. This brings them to the report details page where they are presented with the overview of the report and links to more information on the reports, such as working versions, page source, business logic code, and stored
