Accessing RBServer from ASP.NET app

edited February 2007 in Server
Hi all,

I am about to port an application written in D7 with RB 903 (with
end user reporting) to C# VS2005 ASP.NET.
I already have an rb server app (also written in D7 RB 9.03) which
exposes the reports to another isapi client.

My questions are:

is it possible to access the same rb server application from a
client written in C# in .NET 2.0 (so that my customers can re-use all
reports even from the new asp.net interface) ?

Is there any .net version of the TrsClientReport component ?

In case of negative answers, are there any alternative designs ?

Many thanks in advance
Bye
Nicola

    - here is an example that shows how to use the RB WebTier in a COM object
    and call the COM object from ASP.NET.

    - we are working on a C# .NET WinForms ClientReport for the future, but do
    not yet have anything to offer. Alternative design would be to wrap the
    Delphi ClientReport in a COM object and call if from .NET.

    The asp example seems for VS 2003, but I think I got the idea.
    Very interesting.
    Thanks a lot

    Yes, I forgot to mention that the example uses VS 2003, perhaps you can
    update it for VS 2005 and send it to us to share with others :)

    At the moment I was switched to other projects (sort of multitask..)
    But I'll certainly try to convert and send on my next iteration on this
    work.
