.Net Framework - print a report without user interface

CarlosC

Hi,

I am using VS2022 to print a report (or create a PDF) from an app without a user interface - it will run twice a day (using task scheduler), get data from an SQL DB, generate a report, export it to PDF and send it by email.

I managed to do this, however, when I call FastReport.Prepare a windows is shown briefly.

Is there any way that FastReport.Prepare runs without any user interface?

TIA,

Carlos

Carlos,

Try adding the line below BEFORE making the call to prepare the report.

FastReport.Utils.Config.ReportSettings.ShowProgress = False

FastReport.Prepare()

yes, somethig like this,

exportpdf = new PDFExport();

exportpdf.ShowProgress = false;

exportpdf.Compressed = true;

exportpdf.Background = false;

exportpdf.TextInCurves = false;

exportpdf.PrintOptimized = true;

exportpdf.ImagesOriginalResolution = false;

exportpdf.ColorSpace = PDFExport.PdfColorSpace.RGB;

exportpdf.JpegCompression = true;

exportpdf.EmbeddingFonts = true;

FastReport.Utils.Config.ReportSettings.ShowProgress = false;

ResultFile = new MemoryStream();

fastReportObject.Prepare();

fastReportObject.Export(exportpdf, ResultFile);// export fastreport object to pdf   

Best Regard
