Hello,
This is my first visit here, I'm going to try to use c# to automate some steps that we have to do every day/week, like downloading and processing reports. I open a form and then connect to the website browse to each report.
The reports are stored on an asp website, and it is running the Report Viewer.
It has a nice toolbar where you can click on export save as excel. We have to click that button for 20 reports.
So I'm looking for a way to download all of these reports in 1 go. I do not have access to the website.
I found a way to navigate to the website with the reports using
this.axWebBrowser1.Navigate2
but If I click on the export button a save file dialog is shown.
The source of the website button is like this:
<a onclick="$find('ReportViewerControl').exportReport('EXCEL')">export</a>I found out that I need to call render on the report http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd468085(v=vs.100).aspx
But how can I connect to the external report. It only works for a local report?
Is it possible to download a Report from this website directly to a temp dir so I can store/process all the reports at once?
