Report Builder for Turbo Delphi .NET

edited March 2007 in Server
? Hey,

We are using report builder 7.03 in our delphi 7 applications, it is
excellent software and working very nice.

Recently we bought Turbo Delphi .net version and we want to develop
web based reports for using in our web sites. I have downloaded report
builder 10.5 trail version for testing and I installed that software in
my system but The components are not showing in my Turbo Delphi .net
project. I checked the componenets with VCL.net application, Windows
Application and ASP.NET web application.

What is the problem? Give some instructions to solve my problem?

    ReportBuilder 10 is a VCL Win32 product. When using BDS/Turbo Delphi, the
    ReportBuilder components will appear in the Tool palette when working on VCL
    for Win32 projects.

    ReportBuilder Server Edition can be used to published reports to the web. It
    can be used to build a COM WebTier that can be called from ASP.NET.

    RB Server is a high performance multi-tier multi-threaded solution in which
    you run a report server as a windows service and then use ClientReport
    and/or WebTier in thin client apps and web client apps.

    report server <----> webtier (com) <--> ASP.NET
    (native windows service)



    The RB Server installation includes examples of using the TrsWebTier
    component in ISAPI and ASP solutions. We also have a downloadable example of
    using the WebTier component in a COM module that can be called from ASP.NET.

    Here is a live demo of the web tier running our web site

    When I look at the Orders Report and click to print, the pdf it produces
    truncates off the date and amount on the right side. I just thought you
    might like to know because the RBServer demo should print correctly if you
    want to attract new customers. :-)

    Thanks for pointing this out - I will research it and post a follow up to
    this thread.

    Try the demo again, the PDF export should be working now. .

    The error can appear when running the WebTier under a user account which has
    no printer drivers installed. We made a modification to the PDF export code
    to correct it.

    There is a patch available for RB 10.06, registered users can email
    support@digital-metaphors.com to request the patch.
