Vinatech: Doddle Report Version 0.8

Thursday, February 5, 2009

When research on internet, I found Doddle Report Version 0.

After try to use it, and I relize that :

Doddle Report Version 0.8

Strong points:

· Easy to generate report to 3 kinds report : HTML, pdf, Excel by giving ReportSource (SPList, Datatable, Enumrable) and ReportType querystring

o PDF: http://myserver.com/Reports/ProductsReport.ashx?ReportType=PDF

o Excel: http://myserver.com/Reports/ProductsReport.ashx?ReportType=Excel

o Html: http://myserver.com/Reports/ProductsReport.ashx?ReportType=Html

· Easy add per-row rendering logic to your report.

o report.RenderingRow += new EventHandler(report_RenderingRow);

· Easy to generate with simple layout.

· Source Code write in clear idea.

Weak points:

· SourceCode download from codeplex is not perfect. There are some error when load new version on Codeplex : Pdf export feature is error now.

· Not popular (when you google search, only 4, 5 links to it). Because it is new

· Now, doddleReport use WebSupergoo.ABCpdf6 to generate pdf file. It is not free tool. New version is ABCpdf 7.0

· No WYSIWYG design tool

SharePoint Blogs said...: Thanks for these information.

I am using Doddle Report to export Datatable in Excel and HTML format but it gives me an error.

It works perfect with Enumerable Types.So, i convert Datatable to List of type DataRow but it still gives me an error like Object Reference not set to an instance of Object.

If you have any solution for this please share it.

Waiting for your comments..
