Controllers

Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide

Controllers

Controllers process the modifications made to a report. Although you can directly modify report objects, without using the controllers, the changes you make are not synchronized with the server. To modify a report and ensure that the server is updated, the appropriate controller must be used.

Controller	Model	Description
DatabaseController	Database	Manipulates the tables, tablejoins and datasources in the report.
DataDefController	DataDefinition	Adds, modifies, removes, or moves the data structures in the report.
ReportDefController	ReportDefinition	Manipulates the layout and format of the areas, sections, and report objects in the report.
SubreportController	SubreportClientDocument	Manipulates and imports subreports.
CustomFunctionController	CustomFunction	Manipulates custom functions.
RowsetController	Rowset	Allows you to retrieve unformatted data in the report directly.
PrintOutputController	N/A	Allows you to export reports to a specific format and manipulate the page size.

DataDefController

The DataDefController controller manipulates the data structures of the report. It is composed of several controllers that can access and modify objects defined by the DataDefinition model:

FormulaFieldController

Manipulates report formulas.

ParameterFieldController

Manipulates parameter fields in the report.

SummaryFieldController

Manipulates summary fields in the report.

ResultFieldController

Manipulates fields that are used as data source for one or more field objects in the report.

GroupController

SortController

Manipulates the way data is sorted in the report.

FilterController

Manipulates filters in record selection formula and group selection formula.

ReportDefController

The ReportDefController controller is responsible for manipulating the layout of the report as well as selecting the content of the report. The ReportDefController class is composed of several controllers that can access and modify objects defined by the ReportDefinition model:

ReportAreaController

Sets the properties for areas in the report.

Note Note

Report areas are predefined, but area format and area name can be changed.

ReportSectionController

Adds, removes, and sets the properties for sections in the report.

ReportObjectController
