Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in C# .NET

The following example uses a VPE .NET Report Engine component named "Report".

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "nFree" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written as PDF file, and finally the call to the method Preview shows the preview window.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

Report.OpenDoc();
Report.Print(1.5, 1, "Hello World!");
Report.Picture(1.5, 2, Report.nFree, Report.nFree, "example.jpg");
Report.WriteDoc("My Document.pdf");
Report.Preview();

}

Customer's Responses

"I have been constantly fighting with the limitations of Seagate Crystal Reports to get the reports that I want. Now, with VPE, I'm glad to have found a reporting tool that offers all the freedom I need. I have not yet come across a problem that VPE couldn't handle! Thanks for your help!"
