Integrate Reporting Services with your Silverlight Line-of-
Business applications.

Introduction
One of the most wanted future features in Silverlight is the possibility to c reate business reports using
Reporting Servic es. In this artic le, I will show how to use the existing Reporting Servic es tec hnology
with Silverlight and RIA Servic es c ombination.
Background
I assume that the reader has some basic to intermediate level knowledge in Silverlight and RIA Servic es
and C#, also some knowledge about WCF and the Entity Framework.
Using the Code

T he first thing to do is c reate a Silverlight Applic ation in Visual Studio 2010. I used the Silverlight
Business Applic ation template.
codeproject.com/KB/…/SLReporting.asp… 1/17
In the ASP.NET projec t, I added an Entity Framework Model.
In this demo, I'm using the AdventureWorksLT database.
T hese are the entities we will use in this demo:
Build the projec t and add a Domain Servic e Class:
Here are all the entities selec ted to be added to the domain servic e:
Now we c an add a new Report. In this c ase, we are using Reporting Servic es in Loc al mode.
In the report, when a T ablix c omponent is added, a dataset is requested. In this c ase, the Choose the
Dataset Wizard sees the domain c ontext that we added before.
For this demo, I c reated a new c lass that I will use to bind to the report. T here are c ases in whic h that
is preferable to do bec ause we may need to do some extra proc essing before the data c an be bound to
the report:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace ReportingServicesDemo.Web
{
public class Orders
{
public Orders()
{ }
[Key]
public int OrderDetailsID
{
get;
set;
}
public int OrderID

{
get;
set;
}
public string Product

{
get;
set;
}
public int Quantity

{
get;
set;
}
public decimal UnitPrice

{
get;
set;
}
public decimal UnitPriceDiscount

{
get;
set;
}
public decimal LineTotal

{
get;
set;
}
}
}
In this c lass, I made a referenc e to the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespac e
that allows me to add a Key attributte to the OrderDetailsID property - that is a requirement for
the c lass so the domain servic e c an rec ognize it as an entity.
If we dive into the domain servic e c ode, we find this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework;
using System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Hosting;
using System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Server;
//// Implements application logic using the AdventureWorksLT2008Entities context.

//// TODO: Add your application logic to these methods or in additional methods.
//// TODO: Wire up authentication (Windows/ASP.NET Forms)
/// and uncomment the following to disable anonymous access
//// Also consider adding roles to restrict access as appropriate.
// [RequiresAuthentication]
[EnableClientAccess()]
public class ADWLTDomainService :
LinqToEntitiesDomainService<AdventureWorksLT2008Entities>
{
Now I c reate a domain operation that exposes the Orders entity I just c reated in my c ustom c lass:
public IQueryable<Orders> GetOrderDetails(int OrderID)

{
AdventureWorksLT2008Entities adw = new AdventureWorksLT2008Entities();
var query = from c in adw.SalesOrderDetail.Include("Product")

where
c.SalesOrderID == OrderID
select new Orders { OrderID = OrderID,
OrderDetailsID = c.SalesOrderDetailID, Product = c.Product.Name,
Quantity = c.OrderQty, UnitPrice =
c.UnitPrice, UnitPriceDiscount = c.UnitPriceDiscount,
LineTotal = c.LineTotal };
return query;
}
Here are some remarks. In this method, I'm using the Entity Framework c ontext instead of the objec t
c ontext that the domain servic e dec lares, and exposing like the other selec t methods as IQueryable.
If we build the projec t again, the "Choose the DataSet Wizard" sees our c ustom method and all the
fields exposed by the entity ready for our report.
Here is the report design together with the dataset available:
Now we add a WebForm to the web projec t in order to plac e the report using the ReportViewer
c ontrol:
When we add the ReportViewer c ontrol, it c reates an ObjectDataSource c ontrol.
Looking at the ObjectDataSource's properties, we c an see the Selec t property of our c ustom
method.
Looking at the SelectParameters c ollec tion, we see our c ustom method parameter.
Now in the Silverlight projec t, we add a DataGrid bound to the Sales Orders entity.
Eac h field in the Sales Order ID c olumn is represented as a button just for this demo in order to pass
the c ontent value as a parameter on the c lic k event. T he idea is to c all a popup window using the
HtmlPage objec t, with HtmlPopup options from the System.Windows.Browser namespac e.
HtmlPopupWindowOptions options = new HtmlPopupWindowOptions();

options.Left = 0;
options.Top = 0;
options.Width = 930;
options.Height = 800;
options.Menubar = false;
options.Toolbar = false;
options.Directories = false;
options.Status = false;
Button btn = sender as Button;
int OrderID =int.Parse(btn.Content.ToString());
string address = Application.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri;

int i = address.IndexOf("/ClientBin/", 1);
string url = address.Substring(0, i);
url = url + "/RpDemoWebForm.aspx?OrderID=" + OrderID;
if (true == HtmlPage.IsPopupWindowAllowed)
HtmlPage.PopupWindow(new Uri(url), "new", options);
We c an obtain the c urrent web address were the Silverlight XAP applic ation is running, using the
Application.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri property. Later, we c an c reate the URI
assoc iated with the ReportViewer's Web Form.

assoc iated with the ReportViewer's Integrate
Web Form.Reporting Services with Silverli…
Finally, we c an see our Order Details report.
Points of Interest
I hope this artic le c an be helpful while we wait for the next Silverlight releases, and also c an explore
more options in business reporting.
