Hi Alexandre, 

I tried to replicate your issue in our sample. Unfortunately, I couldn't replicate this issue in our local end. As you can see in our sample (Exporting_ServerSide.aspx), it using the same method that you mentioned before except the SelectedViewMode changing. But when I applied that code in our sample, exporting executed perfectly. Is there any steps of configuration that you used to replicate this issue in your local? Maybe some steps or sample will help us to determine where this problem comes from. Look forward to hear any feedback from you so I can help you further.

Regards,
Bernard

Hi,

I attached a sample that groups multiple problem we discussed in the last few days. (I removed the license from the web.config file, you will have to add them)

1- If you try the print button you will have error discusse in this thread
2- We have some error if we try to show the annual view
3- We are not able to show the webscheduler if we do not provide both V3 and V4 license (https://www.intersoftpt.com/Community/WebScheduler/ISDataSourceControl-Unlicensed/)

Let me know if you fin how to resolve this.
Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Sorry for our late responses. I have found where all those issue comes from.

For your first issue, it says that value of FontSize is out of range. This problem happen because when reporting our WebScheduler use 3rd party assembly to export WebScheduler. So it has limited capability to change the style in WebScheduler. However, you can resolve this by comment these line in SigmaScheduler.cs

this.ViewHeaderStyle.Normal.CssClass = "SchedulerViewHeaderStyleNormal";
this.SchedulerFrameStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerFrameStyle";
this.MonthInboundDateHeaderStyle.Normal.CssClass = "SchedulerMonthInBoundDateHeaderStyleNormal";
this.MonthOutboundDateHeaderStyle.Normal.CssClass = "SchedulerMonthOutboundDateHeaderStyle";
this.TimelineContentCellStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerContentCell";
this.CalendarFrameStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerCalendarFrameStyle";
this.CalendarHeaderStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerCalendarHeaderStyle";
this.CalendarTableStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerCalendarTableStyle";
this.CalendarSelectedCellStyle.CssClass = "SchedulerCalendarSelectedCellStyle";

For the second issue, this issue happen because WebScheduler_Year.js couldn't be load because you couldn't show Year view in your scheduler. You could load the js or enable year view in scheduler. But it will be better to enable Year View so it won't make error in our API.

For the third issue, actually, we can replicate this issue in our local end and we consider this as bug. We will fix it soon and add this as Hotfix. In while, you could put ISDataSource runtime license key in your project to resolve this issue.

Hope this helps.

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

Can you help me point exactly where is the error?
We have to customize the CSS in order to make the scheduler looking similar to our application.
It will not be an option for us to remove all the CSS Class.

Alex

Hi Alex,

Maybe if you want to keep your style in your project. You could override the CSS that WebScheduler using important css. For example, you could change month font color by using this css:

.WSB1_MIDH-N
{
    color: red !important;
    font-size: 14px !important;
}

Also by using this method, it won't bother our API to export WebScheduler into PDF. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bernard

Can you help us withour style, It would be too complicated just overriding yours.

regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

This method is same like your method to apply the css inside WebScheduler. But if you're using your method, you should set all style in your css to replace our style that you defined in WebScheduler.css (you couldn't set background color only or etc). Although, with this method the style couldn't be read in our server side.

To resolve this issue, you could change some of the style in style tag. With this method, our exporting API could read the css for its default style. Regarding to your sample, here's the class name that you should override:

SchedulerViewHeaderStyleNormal: WSB1_VH-N
SchedulerFrameStyle: WSB1_SchedulerFrameStyle
SchedulerMonthInBoundDateHeaderStyleNormal: WSB1_MIDH-N
SchedulerMonthOutboundDateHeaderStyle: WSB1_MODH-N
SchedulerContentCell: WSB1_TimelineContentCellStyle
SchedulerCalendarFrameStyle: WSB1_CalendarFrameStyle
SchedulerCalendarHeaderStyle: WSB1_CalendarHeaderStyle
SchedulerCalendarTableStyle: WSB1_CalendarTableStyle
SchedulerCalendarSelectedCellStyle: WSB1_CalendarSelectedCellStyle

Hope this helps.

Hi Bernard,

Is there a way to send the report to the browser without having to save it on the TempReports folder ?
We would like to avoid having to give write permission to that folder.

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

You could specify the report path on Export server side event. Here's the snippet code:

e.ReportInfo.IISReportPath = "/SchedulerReport/";

Please let me know if you have any further question regarding this matter. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I would like to avoid having to create a temporary file.

Is it possible to access the filestream instead of having to save the file on disk before sending it to the browser ?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I think it need to create a temporary file so it can be sent to the browser. However after you send the file, you could delete the file in your temporary folder. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bernard

Do you think you can develop a method that will only create a filestream?

After that we could either send ti to the browser ourselve or just save the file in a database instead of saving it on disk.

Hi Alex,

I think this scenario couldn't be achieved in our WebScheduler because it is using ActiveReport engine to perform its export mechanism. However, we couldn't change its mechanism so I think WebScheduler still need a temporary folder to perform its exporting. Maybe, you could delete the file in temporary folder after you download the file. Hope this helps.

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

We are also using activereport for a reporting module in out application.
We do the export without using a temporary file by exporting to a memorystream.

Here is the code we use:

// in this sample this._report.Document is a ActiveReport.Document class

//getting the memorystream
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = null;

using(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport pdf = new  DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport())
{
  stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
  pdf.Export(this._report.Document, stream);
  stream.Position = 0;
}

//output to the page
this.Response.Buffer = true;
this.Response.ClearContent();
this.Response.ClearHeaders();

this.Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=report.pdf");
this.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

if(exportedReport.stream.Length > 0)
this.Response.BinaryWrite(exportedReport.stream.ToArray());
this.Response.End();

Hi Alex,

We could change the exporting method like you tell us before. But we couldn't implement this method in our control because it will change all of our exporting mechanism. Actually, the result is will be the same between our method and stream method in exporting. By using our exporting method, it will create the file and it will prompt to download the file. After you download the file, the file will be deleted in your temporary folder. Is there any problem when you're using temp folder in your local end? I'll let our developer know any feedback that you gave to us. Hope this helps.

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

There is a security issue having to save the file in a temporary folder. This way, the report is available to anyone who will fall on that URL (even if it is for a short period of time) and then potentially leads to confidential information leak.

This is the major issue.

Another issue is that we need to give Write access to a folder under the web application. This is not a good practice.

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Maybe, you could give permission for each user to enable the export method. With this, only verified user that can export WebScheduler to pdf. Also, you could try to change the file name for each user so it will minimize risk of data leak in your application. Is it possible for your for doing these method? Look forward to hear any feedback from you so I can help you further.

Bernard
