Hello,

If you want to bind the WebGrid programmatically, you should initialize your databinding in ‘OnInitializeDataSource’ server side event.

I attached the example WebGrid page that use ‘InitializeDataSource’ event.
In this page, the WebGrid was bind to access data source (Northwind.mdb database & Shippers table)
Please kindly have review on the page to see the result.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I got news from the developer team regarding this scenario.

The developer team has provided the feature to get / download the PDF file from local machine.
I will try to show you the (example) step by step to implement / use this new feature.
In this example, I will try to modify the Reporting Samples for Android. You also can get the Reporting Samples from this link.

I have attached the Crosslight nightly build that contain this new feature.
Before we start to implement the feature, we should update the Crosslight assembly first.

After I update the Crosslight assembly, I prepare the PDF file that to be loaded.
I add the PDF file under ‘ReportingSamples.Android’ project, in ‘Resources -> raw’ folder.

The next step is I modified the content of ‘AppInitializer.cs’ file in ‘Infrastructure’ folder.
Here’s the line that I changed:

From:public void InitializeServices(IApplicationHost appHost){    ServiceProvider.AddService<IReportingService, ReportingService>();}

To:
public void InitializeServices(IApplicationHost appHost)
{
    ServiceProvider.AddService<IReportingService, LocalReportingService>();
}

The last step is I added new file, named ‘LocalReportingService.cs’, under ‘Services’ folder.
Here’s the content of the ‘LocalReportingService.cs’:

public class LocalReportingService : ReportingService
{
    public override void ExecuteLoadReportAsync(IReportViewModel reportViewModel, Action<byte[]> onSuccess, Action<Exception> onFail = null)
    {
        // You could create your own code to load the PDF file in this function
        try
        {
            Resources resources = Application.Context.Resources;
            
            // To get the PDF File
            Stream stream = resources.OpenRawResource(Resource.Raw.Example);

            byte[] bytes = GetBytes(stream);
            onSuccess.Invoke(bytes);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            onFail.Invoke(e);
        }
    }

    public static byte[] GetBytes(Stream input)
    {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            int read;
            while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
            {
                ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
            }
            return ms.ToArray();
        }
    }
}

I attached the modified page as well.
Hope this helps.

NB: Please note that nightly build (pre-release version of hotfix) is not tested for regression. We hope you can collaborate and test it in your project.

Hans K.
