Class ReportPreview

Namespace

DocWright.Reporting.Viewer

Assembly

DocWright.Reporting.Viewer.dll

Runs a report definition against data made up from the fields it declares, so a designer can show a preview before the report has a data source.

Remarks

The data is invented from the definition alone: one column per declared field, typed by the designer's rd:TypeName where there is one, and a fixed number of rows of values that vary enough for a chart or a grouped tablix to look like a report rather than a column of the same number. Nothing is executed and nothing is fetched — there is no query, no connection and no network.

Everything about it is fixed: the same definition previews to the same pages on every machine and every run, because the values come from the field's name and position rather than from a generator, and the execution time comes from the options rather than the clock.
