Report Builder with classic asp app

rbuser

I made an app in delphi using report builder as the reporter tool. Now i
have made an extension to this software by adding a web based
application. I have reports that have invoice formats and i need to print
this reports with clasic asp. The order is placed in a web page and then
i need to call the existing report and make it print the info that came
from the web page.

Delphi's WebBroker technology can be used to create asp applications.

1. One approach is to use RB Server Edition.

RB Server Edition is a multi-tier reporting solution in which you use Delphi
to build a report server application that can run as a Windows Service. To
support web browser clients, you include the RB WebTier component in a
Delphi's WebBroker ASP app. This is all very simple to do - requiring almost
no code and no remoting/web app knowledge.

report server ------> webtier ------> .web browser
(windows service) (asp)

-------> clientreport
(windows app)



2. The other approach to implementing publishing reports to the web is to
use any of the ReportBuilder Editions to impelement your own web solution.

a. Make sure that you provide a thread-safe container for the report to
execute.
b. Make sure that no dialogs are displayed by the report (i.e. set
Report.ShowPrintDialog, ShowCancelDialog, etc to False.
c. Set Report.EnableProcessMessages to False.

The simplest solution to implementing your own server is to generate the
reports to PDF return them (or a link to them) to the web browser. A more
complex solution would involve creating a custom report viewer as is done by
ReportBuilder Server Edition:
