How to export report automatically to word?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Johnny 6,480

Hello,

is it possible to export the report automatically to word file directly from code to have a same file as we are getting from save as "word". See screenshot below please:

I saw some examples of code but "SRSReportFileFormat::" does not have word option.

    I am afraid Word is not a supported direct export format, as per the Enum:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../srsreportfileformat.aspx

    You could try to use cross-references to see where the enum is being used in the SRS/Report classes, to see if you could add support for it. However, it is possible that the support comes from the AX kernel, or a pre-compiled DLL, in which case you would not be able to modify it.

    An alternate solution could be to write a C# wrapper for AX around a free PDF->Word converter, export your report to PDF then convert it to Word - problem solved.

    Hi Vilmos,

    thanks for reply.

    I was thinking maybe I can use the code that is running behind the "Save as --> Word" from SSRS report.

    Do you know how can I see it?

    The report is displayed in the SrsReportViewer, which has a managed host controller (custom .Net form control).

    Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Frameworks.Controls.ReportViewer.AxReportViewer

    It is just responsible for rendering the SSRS report, I do not think you can directly call that.

    The only viable approach I could think of is the PDF->Word conversion.

    Another option could be is to run the report not through the AX reporting framework, but from the .Net namespace, and that way you could construct something directly to tell SSRS that you want Word format, since it is supported on the other side, just not implemented in AX.
