ReportViewer: How to load report as an embeddedresource in another assembly using reflection?

Question

I'm not really sure how to go about this. I created a generic class to open reports up for my application. The reports are contained in another DLL that is not referenced as an embedded resource though.

If I reference the DLL I can just do:
Viewer.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "SomeLibrary.ReportName.rdlc";

However, since I'm not referencing the DLL I figure I have to get the report via reflection. This is where I'm stuck. I'm really not sure how to go about this.

Answer 1

I found a way to do this by reading the RDLC and returning the Stream.

public void PrepareReport(IAppReport report)
{
   Viewer.LocalReport.LoadReportDefinition(report.GetStream());
}

With a bit of reflection I am able to pull that Stream object.

Answer 2

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
Stream streamReport = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyProjectOrAssemblyName.Reports.Report1.rdlc");

reportView1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
reportView1.LocalReport.LoadReportDefinition(streamReport);
