I am making WPF application in C#.
I want to make users to fill up some fields in program and after clicking Save it will save document (XPS or PDF) from template with filled fields.
I started learning Net and C# about 2 weeks ago and don't know what is the best way in this application to make a filled document from template and user input.
You can use Report Viewer Control for that. It will allow you to create a template in .rdlc format and then fill in parameters during run-time.

I want to do below task using iText7.
create template using HTML or ..(some fields can be able to hide
according to user input)
Fill the template with the database data
generate accessible pdf
How can I do this?
As far as I understand, you want to have an HTML template where you will fill in data based on user input as well as data coming from your database. This is possible in iText in general, however you would need to do a lot of work, especially if you want to have a template for the PDFs that you are going to generate (as well as the template for the HTML form for capturing data).
It would be nice to have a tool where we design the HTML form and the form with which the output PDF is going to be generated interactively and maybe even using the same resources, sub-forms, sub-templates etc. Then the only thing the technical person would do is to bind the actual data to the form elements. The template will have the logic to show/hid elements or any other conditions that you might come up with. It would simplify the workflow a lot.
iText is working on a product called Dito which was announced in GIDS 2018 in Bangalore, India and a demo session was given. Dito is going to do exactly what you want and what I describe above. You can find the presentation here: http://www.developermarch.com/developersummit/downloadPDF/Dito.pdf

I am having some trouble with Report Viewer and RDLC files.
I have never before worked with any of these so I am still learning. I am looking for a guide to do the following.
I want to generate a report from a single object, ie. I have a list of objects and I want to pass say the first object to the report and then display the data contained in the properties of that object.
So basically I have a form which is completed and saved into my database, I have a custom object that stores the data captured in the form. I then want to click save and generate. This I then want to generate the report from the data captured on the page.
Any advise and guides would be appreciated.
I already have a xsd file generated from my object that I use as the dataset, I want to now supply the data.
It's very simple, but it's too long to write all the passages.
In short, you have to:
Create your RDLC file from the report designer
Bind your RDLC file with the DataSet you have
(Option) Bind your report with the ReportViewer to show it on your webpage
The third passage is optional because you can also write code to render directly your report and put it in download as pdf file (or excel).
This blog's post explain a lot of passages so just have a look at it.
There is also the famousgotreportviewer website but it's a bit outdated (still has good examples)
I have a couple questions related to using LaTeX within a C#/WPF application.
The application I'm developing writes reports using LaTeX. I'll then need to convert those LaTeX documents into something I can display to the screen. This is where my first question comes in: I know I have two choices for converting the LaTeX document -- conversion to .dvi or conversion to .pdf -- what I wonder is which format would be the best speed-wise and for displaying? I'm unsure how to display a .pdf or a .dvi file within a WPF application -- is there some way to put them into a Canvas control or any other WPF control?
Thanks for your time and help!
You can easily display pdf's using the acrobat control (or if you're feeling lazy, with the Internet Explorer control). Just put one in a Winform Hosting Control and call its loading method.
Can any one explain how to print the infopath data in sharepoint
If Form is posted in a Form Library AND you have made InfoPath fields available as columns in Form Library, you can add them your your active view, sort them, set page size, export them to excel, or print from there on. You have to promote properties to columns from InfoPath designer. If not already done so for the published template, you need the orignal template, and design it in InfoPath designer.
If columns are not available, you still have form data available in XML and things might take different routes depending where you want to go.
You can programatically read xml of all infopath forms in the form library, apply search filters, do XSLT and generate HTML files, you can set page size or directly send to printer.
You can also use templating techniques if you have a template.
I currently have an ASP.Net/C# system which allows the User to Dynamically Create/Export (PDF) Telerik Reports for Employees in the database. The User is given the choice to Select from a list of Employee's to Export, or to Export them all.
The Telerik Report Viewer currently has a designated "Print" button, but I would like to give the Users the ability to Print Multiple Reports when Selected, or when the "Print All Reports" button is clicked.
Is there a way to proggramatically Print Multiple Dynamic Telerik Reports? (and give a Print Preview if possible?)
Sorry for the double-post, but I ended up solving this simple question on my own.
Using the Methods I had already written for the PDF export of the Reports, I looped through and added each Report to a "ReportBook". I then displayed the ReportBook in the ReportViewer I already had on my page.
This gave me the "Print Preview" aspect I was looking for, and the ability to Print Multiple Reports.
Thought I'd share for future reference
