RDLC Subreport can no show

I am working with RDLC reports and currently I have a sub report with its properties and parameters within a main report. After trying to generate the report, the below error is shown at the UI :
"Data retrieval failed for the subreport, 'Subreport1', located at: [C:/filepath]"
There is nothing error shown at Visual studio, so I thing the error may not cause by the code.
I think the error comes from the parameters at rdlc not being able to pass into the sub report via the main report . Below is my code:
public ReportViewer Main_Report(string path, ProgressReportFilter item, DataTable dt)
{
ReportViewer reportViewer = new ReportViewer();
try
{
var user = UserAccess.GetCurrentUser();
reportViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
//reportViewer.LocalReport.ReportPath = #"Reports/Main_Report.rdlc";
reportViewer.LocalReport.ReportPath = path;
reportViewer.SizeToReportContent = true;
reportViewer.Width = Unit.Percentage(100);
reportViewer.Width = Unit.Percentage(100);
reportViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("Year", item.yyyy));
reportViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(new
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("Month", item.mm));
ReportDataSource ds = new ReportDataSource("Main_DataSet", dt);
reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(ds);
reportViewer.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing += new
SubreportProcessingEventHandler(Detail_Alco);
reportViewer.LocalReport.Refresh();
}
catch (Exception e)
{}
return reportViewer;
}
void Detail_Alco(object sender, SubreportProcessingEventArgs e)
{
Helper.log.Info("para is " + e.Parameters[0].Values[0]);
string serial = e.Parameters["serial"].Values[0].ToString();
//Helper.log.Info("serial is " + serial);
Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
parameters.Add("#serial", serial);
string spName1 = "SP_Report_MRS_Detail_Breakdown_Report_Sub_Alco";
SUSDB susdb = new SUSDB();
DataTable dtAlco = ReportHelp.ToDataTable(susdb.DetailBreakdownReport_SubReport_Alco(spName1, parameters));
ReportDataSource ds = new ReportDataSource("Detail_Breakdown_Alco", dtAlco);
e.DataSources.Add(ds);
}
Any help would be appreciated, many thanks

Instead of modifying the document, please create a new document and copy the pages from the old document to new document

Because modifying pdf is not recommended using 'PdfSharp' library. if you still want to edit you can use 'ISharp' library which needs a license.

Here is some VB.Net code I use to fill PDF forms. You need a PDF fillable form with form control names matching the SQL record field names.
It calls a routine Gen.GetDataTable() that just builds a typical DataTable. You could re-code to accept a pre-built Datatable as a parameter. Only the top row is processed. The code can be modified to work with a DataRow (.Table.Columns for column reference) or a DataReader.

Pdf file is not updating in asp.net application

In my asp.net application we generating pdf using ITextSharp.dll
Now my problem is every time same pdf is opening(not refreshing) unless until clear my browser history it is same. I am using chrome browser.
Here is my code
private void fillForm() {
try {
string Phone = "", Physical = "";
string formFile = Server.MapPath("~\\Inspection.pdf");
string newFile = Server.MapPath("~\\InspectionPrint.pdf");
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(formFile);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create));
AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
PdfContentByte d = new PdfContentByte(stamper.Writer);
//getting values from DB
SqlCommand comd = new SqlCommand("usp_PrintInspection", QMSConn);
QMSConn.Open();
comd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
comd.Parameters.Add("#QuoteNumber", SqlDbType.VarChar);
comd.Parameters["#QuoteNumber"].Value = Session["CurrQuoteNumber"].ToString();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlDataAdapter sqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
sqlAdapter.SelectCommand = comd;
sqlAdapter.Fill(ds, "Table");
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0) {
// set form fields
string Name = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["NAME"].ToString();
string Address1 = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Address1"].ToString();
string CompanyID = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["CompanyID"].ToString();
string PolicyNumber = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["PolicyNumber"].ToString();
fields.SetField("Name", Name);
fields.SetField("Address1", Address1);
fields.SetField("CompanyID ", CompanyID);
fields.SetField("PolicyNumber", PolicyNumber);
stamper.FormFlattening = false;
stamper.Close();
string file = "InspectionPrint";
string Url = "../" + file + ".pdf";
String js = #"WindowPopup('" + Url + "');";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "Key", js, true);
}
else {
showalert("No Record Available For This Quote");
}
}
catch(exception ex) {
}
}

as you are saying it is working in the Localhost but not in the production server, most likely it seems to me as an URL/Path issue.
1. after observing your code, you are creating one more string Url variable without using the existing String formFile variable.
as you should provide the valid path you need to use the formFile instead of Url as you have created formFile using Server.MapPath()
Try This:
/*string Url = "../" + file + ".pdf";*/ //comment or remove
String js = #"WindowPopup('" + formFile + "');";//use formFile instead of Url

Adding item to DataGridView by clicking button using c#

I'm writing a program for manage all customers we have in our company. I have a DataGridView where every single customer should display. And right to the DataGridView I got some textboxes, for displaying the details of every customer and for add a new customer. And I got a button "Add Customer". So if I type in some random text in textboxes and click on "Add Customer" it should add the new customer to the DataGridView. And if I restart the program, every customer should still be saved. So I save the details of every customer to a .xml file.
Can someone help me or give me a hint how I can add customers to DataGridView by clicking button? I got this code for saving to xml file:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
const string folder = #"C:\Users\Römel\Desktop\Save";
const string basename = "save.xml";
string filename = folder + "\\" + basename;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
if (Directory.Exists(folder))
{
if (File.Exists(filename))
{
DataSet flatDataSet = new DataSet();
flatDataSet.ReadXml(filename);
DataTable table = flatDataSet.Tables[0];
dataGridKunden.DataSource = table;
}
dataGridKunden.Columns["KundenNr"].Visible = false;
dataGridKunden.Columns["Adresse"].Visible = false;
dataGridKunden.Columns["Ort"].Visible = false;
dataGridKunden.Columns["Telefon"].Visible = false;
dataGridKunden.Columns["Mail"].Visible = false;
dataGridKunden.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None;
}
}
private void btnAddKunde_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(folder))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
}
if (!File.Exists(filename))
{
File.Create(filename);
}
XmlTextWriter xwriter = new XmlTextWriter(filename, Encoding.Unicode);
xwriter.WriteStartDocument();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Kundenverwaltung");
xwriter.WriteStartElement("KundenNr");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundenNr.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Nachname");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeNachname.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Vorname");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeVorname.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Adresse");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeAdresse.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Ort");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeOrt.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Telefon");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeTel.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Mail");
xwriter.WriteString(txtKundeMail.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteEndDocument();
xwriter.Close();
}
}
The button "Add Customer" is called "btnAddKunde".
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Add These line of code in your button click event in last:
if (File.Exists(filename))
{
DataSet flatDataSet = new DataSet();
flatDataSet.ReadXml(filename);
DataTable table = flatDataSet.Tables[0];
dataGridKunden.DataSource = table;
}
However, your version of XmlTextWriter will overwrite the xml file. Thus, when you click on button you will see only the latest added row. Instead you can use below code in your button click event:
private void btnAddKunde_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(folder))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
}
if (!File.Exists(filename))
{
using (File.Create(filename))
{}
}
XElement xmlNode = new XElement("Kundenverwaltung",
new XElement("KundenNr", txtKundenNr.Text),
new XElement("Nachname", txtKundeNachname.Text),
new XElement("Vorname", txtKundeVorname.Text),
new XElement("Adresse", txtKundeAdresse.Text),
new XElement("Ort", txtKundeOrt.Text),
new XElement("Telefon", txtKundeTel.Text),
new XElement("Mail", txtKundeMail.Text)
);
XElement xmlFile;
try
{
xmlFile = XElement.Load(filename);
xmlFile.Add(xmlNode);
}
catch (XmlException)
{
xmlFile = new XElement("Customers", xmlNode);
}
xmlFile.Save(filename);
DataSet flatDataSet = new DataSet();
flatDataSet.ReadXml(filename);
DataTable table = flatDataSet.Tables[0];
dataGridKunden.DataSource = table;
}

you need to use XMLDocument class to retrieve data from xml file
do something like this :
XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load("People.xml");
xmlDoc.Element("employee").Add(new XElement("Person", new XElement("Name", txtName.Text),
new XElement("City", txtCity.Text), new XElement("Age", txtAge.Text)));

Are you lookin for an example for retrieving data from xml or just add string array retrieved from xml??
Here's how you add a string array..
string[] s = new string[4];
s[0] = "Salim";
s[1] = "9388938813"
s[2] = "s/10 santhi Nagar, Dpo road, Palakkad"
s[3] = "Kerala"
datagridView1.Rows.Add(s);

dataGridKunden.Rows.Add(new string[] {surname.text, forename.text, address.text .... });
// add as much as you want.

save user profile image to database

How can I dynamically insert images when user uploads an image file to SQL Server 2005 with C# in ASP.NET? This is to let users upload their profile photos in my web app. Is it very different from how it is done for windows app with C#?

There is a metric ton of examples on the web on this one:
http://aspalliance.com/138
https://web.archive.org/web/20210304133428/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120606-1.aspx
http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASP.NET/Uploading-Images-to-a-Database--C---Part-I/
You should be able to follow any of those to accomplish what you want.

The same way as in in WinForms. Get byte[] and same to image column. But i strongly recommend to use file system to store pictures. DB is for relational data, File System for raw bytes.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479405.aspx

Here is a sample of the code behind for inserting an image into a database in C#. You will of coarse need supporting table the picture should be a byte field and keep the picture type so you can retrieve the image later to display it. In addition to that you need to put a file input box on your page along with a submit button.
public void AddImage(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int intImageSize;
String strImageType;
Stream ImageStream;
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "/Images/default_image.png");
Byte[] ImageContent;
if (PersonImage.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
intImageSize = PersonImage.PostedFile.ContentLength;
strImageType = PersonImage.PostedFile.ContentType;
ImageStream = PersonImage.PostedFile.InputStream;
ImageContent = new Byte[intImageSize];
int intStatus;
intStatus = ImageStream.Read(ImageContent, 0, intImageSize);
}
else
{
strImageType = "image/x-png";
ImageContent = new Byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(ImageContent, 0, ImageContent.Length);
}
SqlConnection objConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["conn"]);
SqlCommand objCmd;
string strCmd;
strCmd = "INSERT INTO ImageTest (Picture, PictureType) VALUES (#Picture, #PictureType)";
objCmd = new SqlCommand(strCmd, objConn);
SqlParameter prmPersonImage = new SqlParameter("#Picture", SqlDbType.Image);
prmPersonImage.Value = ImageContent;
objCmd.Parameters.Add(prmPersonImage);
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#PictureType", strImageType);
lblMessage.Visible = true;
try
{
objConn.Open();
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
objConn.Close();
lblMessage.Text = "ImageAdded!";
}
catch
{
lblMessage.Text = "Error occured the image has not been added to the database!";
}
}
