How do you generate ASP.NET reports in-memory for PDF download?

[Alex]

Currently, we use SSRS in our ASP.NET MVC apps to automatically generate tabular, in-memory reports based on RDLC templates against SQL Server data. The PDF produced by SSRS are downloaded to the user's browser. We don't provide any report viewer components on the page. How do you do this using Telerik Reporting?

Also, do you have beginner training videos for Telerik Reporting?

Thank you.

Hello Alex,

If I understand correctly, you would like to export reports in PDF format without displaying them in a report viewer, is that correct?

For such a task, you may use the ReportProcessor class which represents the object responsible for printing and rendering Reports.

Please visit the Exporting a report to PDF programmatically - Telerik Reporting KB article for an example of how to use it to render the report to PDF and return it as an attachment to the client.

I hope this will help. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
