Calling RBuilder Server from .Net app

edited July 2005 in Server
We are looking to convert a large Delphi 7 application to Delphi.Net but we
have a couple hundred RBuilder reports we don't want to rewrite with another
tool. Would it be practical to move all the reports to the server and call
them from the .Net app? Has anyone else done this successfully?

Thanks for any thoughts,
Dave

    We are working on an RB .NET solution that will enable what you describe.
    The goal for a release is end 2005 or early 2006.

    The Server Edition includes a WebTier component that can generate a web
    browser interface. Typically you build an ISAPI or ASP application. Recently
    we created an example of building a COM object and then calling it from
    ASP.NET app.

    The example can be downloaded from ...

    Another way is create a form that encapsulate the Internet Explorer
    engine
    and use the ISAPI solution to provide the report.
    I'm doing that in a Visual Studio app and it works fine, in Delphi 2005
    it
    will work too.
