The Web controls need to be directed to the server used for ActiveReports 8 Server in order to function. In your production application, specify the user name and password based on the current user and store information in the current session to persist these values.

To create a Log In page

In Visual Studio, create a new C# ASP.NET Web Site.

Open the Design view of your default Web Form and from the Standard section of the Toolbox, drag the following controls and drop them onto the body section of the Web Form, setting their properties as in the table below.

Controls for the Log In page

Double-click the button to create the button click event. The *.cs file for the page appears with the cursor inside the button click event.

Control	Text Property
Label	User Name:
TextBox	?
Label	Password:
TextBox	?
Button	Log In

In the button click event, paste the following code to get the security token from the user.

To get the security token from the user

C# code. Paste INSIDE the button click event.	Copy Code
var username = TextBox1.Text; var password = TextBox2.Text; var reportService = new ReportServiceProxy(); HttpContext.Current.Session["arsSecurityToken"] = null; var securityToken = reportService.Login(username, password, null, false); HttpContext.Current.Session["arsSecurityToken"] = securityToken; Server.Transfer("Default2.aspx");

At the top, with the other using directives, paste the following code to use the Servicing namespace.

To get the security token from the user

C# code. Paste BELOW the other using directives.	Copy Code
using ActiveReports.Server.ReportControls.Servicing;

To add the ReportList control to a Web Form

Add a second Web Form to your project, Default2.aspx.
Open the Design view of your Web Form and from the toolbox, drag and drop the ReportList control onto the body section of the Web Form.
If you need to add the control to your toolbox, drop down these steps.
1. Right-click in the General tab and select Choose items.
2. In the Choose Toolbox Items dialog that appears, the .NET Framework Components tab is selected by default. Click the Namespace column header to sort by namespace.
3. The ActiveReports.Server.ReportControls namespace is at or near the top of the list. Select the checkbox next to ReportList and click OK.
4. The ReportList control appears in your Visual Studio toolbox.
On the message box that appears, click Yes to automatically add .svc file to your Web site to give the report list access to proxy services.
In the Properties window, set the ServerEndpointRootPath property to the URL that you want to use as the basis for all of the other URLs in your site, which can then be set as relative URLs.
You can resize the control using the Properties grid by changing the Width property.

To direct the ReportList to the server used for ActiveReports 8 Server

You can specify the security token and ActiveReports 8 Server host using code in a Global Application Class.

From the Visual Studio Website menu, select Add New Item.
In the Add New Item dialog that appears, select Global Application Class and click Add.

Below the Application Language tag at the top of the file, import the Servicing namespace so that you can use the ReportServiceProxy with a directive like the following:

To import the Servicing namespace

ASP.NET code. Paste on the line BELOW the Application Language line.	Copy Code
<%@ Import Namespace="ActiveReports.Server.ReportControls.Servicing" %>

Below the Application Start event, create the ResolveRemoteEndpoint event using code like the following, but with your address and security token:

To create the ResolveRemoteEndpoint event

C# code. Paste in the Global.asax file AFTER the Application_Start event.	Copy Code
static void ResolveRemoteEndpoint(RemoteEndpoint remoteEndpoint) { remoteEndpoint.Address = "http://localhost:8080"; remoteEndpoint.SecurityToken = "SecurityToken"; }

Provide a handler for the ResolveRemoteEndPoint event using code like the following in the Application Start event:

To provide a handler for the event

C# code. Paste INSIDE the Application_Start event.	Copy Code
ReportServiceProxy.ResolveRemoteEndpoint += ResolveRemoteEndpoint;

You can also specify the user name, password, and ActiveReports 8 Server host in your web application's web.config file.

In the web.config file, provide a handler for the ResolveRemoteEndPoint event using code like the following.

To provide a handler for the event

C# code. Paste BETWEEN the <configSections> and </configSections> tags.	Copy Code
<sectionGroup name="activereports.server"> <section name="reportServiceProxy" type="ActiveReports.Server.ReportControls.Configuration.ActiveReportsServerSection, ActiveReports.Server.ReportControls, Version=x.x.xxxx.x, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d557f2f30a260da2" allowDefinition="Everywhere" /> </sectionGroup>

Below the Application Start event, create the ResolveRemoteEndpoint event using code like the following, but with your address, user name, and password

To import the Servicing namespace

ASP.NET code. Paste in the web.config file AFTER the </configSections> tag.	Copy Code
<activereports.server> <reportServiceProxy remoteReportServicePath="http://localhost:8010/" username="MyUserName" password="MyPassword" /> </activereports.server>

At run time, the ReportList control retrieves all of the reports from ActiveReports 8 Server, and provides buttons to export each to PDF, Word, and Excel.
