As you can see i'm a newbie at this site and have a question about asp.net mvc and reporting. I want to create reports (interactive - for example when the data is displayed you can filter some information by categories or countries witout generating the report again) and dashboards for a mvc project and I don't know which tool to use. Has anybody used any tool that works for mvc and has options like this. I have worked before with crystal reports but only static reports for printing.
Thanks a lot in advance
SSRS will help you get started, It can be used with MVC as well.

I think this can help you, in the scenario you described I would do something like this ...

I am trying to build my first application using angular 5 and .NET core 2; The application is created in visual studio 2017 as one empty website based on .Net core 2; I am using angular 5 for the client-side, and to maintain data-access, security, authorization ... I am creating Web API controllers using .Net core 2 which will be called from angular; What I still don't know is how to create reports which requirements are the below:
Reports are textual and they can contain sub-reports or images;
They should be created in server side as some of them should
be saved on the webserver
They should be exported as images or PDF files
They should be also displayed on HTML page whether they were saved or not on the webserver: so there should be a way to revert back to angular 5 and display those reports on the browser
Please note that I have no SQL Database but Oracle 11G, which I guess in this way I have to create a data-set and fill it, then this dataset will be used in the report.
Before, I used to create RDLC or crystal reports with all the above, and I could run new tab from server side to display my reports; But now things are more complicated and new... So any hint is more than appreciated.
I have a simple idea will fix your problem. If you want with Crystal reports or SSRS:
Generate a new Web Form project that uses Crystal Report Viewer.
The new project has only two pages: Index.aspx, Report.aspx.
Index.aspx will receive report id and additional parameters of the report.
Index.aspx will open Report.aspx after internal processing.
Once the page Report.aspx is viewed, user can view, navigate and print the report.
If you want to use SSRS, you'll replace Crystal report.
This solution will cost you nothing except hosting the Web Form project on a server.
Hope this solution fix your problem.
Al.
You need to say a lot more about your report requirements, otherwise it's hard to give a useful answer. You should mention:
technologies - (you've got some of this already) - Angular and .Net
formats - you've mentioned HTML and PDF/images (in your comment)
client-side/server-side - are you trying to generate
the reports fully client-side (you have the data already at the
client) or can you generate server side. Each aspect has
benefits and particularly server-side you have more options,
access to more of your data (typically), access to your report
storage, more installation/interfacing options and more
processing power.
document types - what styles of documents
are you trying to create. Textual reports, spreadsheet-style
calculations and charts etc.
any other requirements you can think of (security, connectivity, speed, pricing etc).
There are lots of reporting libraries/engines ranging from simple code-based design and build to template-based (mail-merging) styles.
I know that's not a specific answer, but I've written more about your options than you have written about your requirements. I hope it helps.
I Guess you are trying to create a reporting engine using angular 5 and .net from server side.
If your report is Pure HTML then it is easier. If it needs any graphs then you have to look for 3rd party libraries like Hicharts.
To render report as PDF you can use Angualar 5 server side rendering support (Universal). Also lots of opensource components are available to generate PDF from HML. so you can combine Universal and PDF renderer components and produce the PDF output
note: Hicharts supports serverside rendering
Also in agular 5 you can dynamically create object for components, so you can make report components are configurable and flexible
This may be a bit of a silly question, but here goes..
I'm new to kendo UI and asp.net mvc, so i got myself a book to get me started.
However, in the exercise in the book, they use a kendo for asp.net mvc zip file.
I have looked around on the kendoUI website and it also says that you have the option to either download the msi or a zip file, but for the asp.net download, it does not give me an option, just automatically downloads the msi installer.
Anybody know how I can get the kendo UI Complete for asp.net MVC??
Will really appreciate the help.
Thanks
You can check the different packages and download them here: http://www.kendoui.com/download.aspx
They have a 30 day trial for "Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC"
This is a good introduction to ASP.NET MVC and there is a link to where to find all you need.
Check also their page on ASP.NET MVC here where you can also find a link to the downloads.
I am building a new asp.net MVC3 web application for reporting and I want to know the best way to create reports.
I've tried to use Crystal reports but its has some issues in implementation and styling so Is there is a free or customized solution for that?
After alot of searching in google i found a good solution that meets my needs that is a free open source tool here called doddleReports it creates pdf, excel, csv comma delimited, HTML report
I have used worddocgenerator.codeplex.com as a reporting tool in one lightweight ASP.NET application. It allows you to generate data bound content with very few code.
To preview reports you can use the Open Xml Viewer
i am currently learning MVC2. actually working on my first MVC2 project.As the MVC3 beta is launched and available to download. please suggest me should i use MVC3(Beta) or continue with MVC2 and second thing is, if i move to MVC3 then what major advantages i will get from it.
My project is an ERP application.
Please suggest me what should i do.
Thanks
I suggest you take a look at this blog post from Scott Gu :
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/11/09/announcing-the-asp-net-mvc-3-release-candidate.aspx
To name some advantages, you can use the Razor View Engine, which depending on your requirements, it will make your view code nicer. I believe that's the case for an ERP System.
This is not 100% mvc3 related, but with the RC you get NuGet installed with it, if you're planning on using external libraries to help you out, that's a great way to manage them.
Partial Page output caching is a great feature for systems that share bits and pieces across different ui's.
Unobtrusive JavaScript and Validation is also another great new feature that will help you keep your code's maintainability among other benefits.
MVC3 also has some benefits from the dynamic aspects of .NET 4, and that also helps you keep your view code cleaner.
And my end point would be, MVC3 is already on RC stage....it already has Go Live license and support...if you're learning, I would suggest learning the latest, you will get all the knowledge you need to use mvc 1 and 2, and also the new things about mvc 3.
One factor is the release date of MVC 3 compared to the release date of your application, i.e. you should not ship an application based on a beta version of MVC.
If you switch to MVC 3 beta, you should be aware that there may be changes in the final release, so you may have to make changes for each version until the relase, and your application is only guaranteed to work with one specific pre-release version, until the final release of MVC 3.
I am looking for a web based report designer supporting spring/hibernate. I have seen BIRTStudio but it is not free.
I came across this list http://java-source.net/open-source/charting-and-reporting which could be helpful. It might be appropriate to cookup my own small reporting engine. My core requirements:
End user should be able to specify parameters for a report
Report should be available in Excel form
Report should use the same permissions scheme as the application (ie spring security)
Report can be of two types (visual and textual) and among those types report can be of Chart or Map
I have found Pentaho to be a solution

The target audience is not software developers, but it still seems a good start.
#geoaxis, try Jasper and DynamicJasper
I've written a set of tutorials for integrating Spring MVC 3 and Jasper. I've also provided a downloadable Maven build.
