Viewing Reports using HTML5 Viewer

The following steps describe how to view reports in HTML5 Viewer.

Create a new Visual Studio Web Application project.
Copy and place GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Html.js, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Html.min.js and GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Html.css files at a suitable location near the target HTML page.
Note: In ActiveReports, these files are located in the C:\Program Files\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 12\Deployment\Html

In the target HTML page, add the references to the GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Html.css, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Html.js and its following dependencies:

jQuery 1.9.0 or higher
Bootstrap 3.0
Knockout.js 2.3.0 or higher

Note: You can obtain the dependencies like jQuery from Content Delivery Network (CDN) or copy them locally.
