Report Preview

You can preview the report in the window of the Web-designer by selecting the Preview tab in the designer. The picture below shows tabs of the Web-designer:

Data are required to preview a rendered report. By default, data specified in the Dictionary of the edited report are taken. If it is necessary, they can be overridden. Below is a sample code with which overrides the data:

C#:
 
protected void StiWebDesignerSL1_GetPreviewDataSet(object sender,

                    StiWebDesignerSL.StiPreviewDataSetEventArgs e)

{
  DataSet data = new DataSet();

  data.ReadXml("D:\\Demo.xml");

  data.ReadXmlSchema("D:\\Demo.xsd");

  e.PreviewDataSet = data;
}
 

As can be seen from the code, the data is taken from XML and XSD files. In the same way you can substitute the data from other data sources.
