Introduction

How to control reports generation process using scripts

Detail

Using Report Sharp-Shooter by Perpetuum Software LLC you may display dynamic report using user requests for rows & columns on one page & on next page, for example, the following way:

We create a report template and locate the TextBoxes in the required manner. Then, in program, we define data sources as a DataSet and pass it to a report. In the TextBoxes script generation we can write a scritp similar to this one:

PageNumber % 2 == 0 ? databand["column1"] : databand["column6"];

As a result, the data from column1 will be displayed on the even pages and the data from column6 will be displayed on odd pages of the same TextBox.

So in Report Sharp-Shooter, using one and the same template, we can regulate data sources dynamically.
