Generate PDF in .Net core 2.0 using rdlc

Question

With .Net Core 2.0 not supporting Report Viewer, is there any other alternative way of doing this?

I found alanjuden's solution (https://alanjuden.com/2016/11/10/mvc-net-core-report-viewer/), but actually looking for official references.

We have migrated our project from .Net Framework 4.5.2 to .Net Core 2.0. However, stuck up with these reporting files as core 2.0 doesn't support.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I found this package useful. I have successfully created a pdf using the RDLC using this library. I'm hoping to write a blog post on that soon. https://www.nuget.org/packages/AspNetCore.Reporting

However there's a major issue in this library where when you have multiple files it doesn't work properly. It uses some internal caching so whatever the first requested rdlc file only will work.

Update: I have written an article on how you can integrate this library to generate a pdf. Please check this link. http://blog.geveo.com/IntegratingRDLCReportsToNetCoreProjects

Look at this answer, it might help you. RDLC Local report viewer for ASP.NET Core and Angular(>2.0) It looks like Microsoft is working on it (or better spending on it, but no official packages seems to be available just yet).

Other references can be found here: https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/1528
