Creating a RDLC Report in .NET

1. 
   Creating a RDLC Report in .NET
2. Open your Visual Studio and create a new Windows Forms;
3. Create a new DataSet, name the dataset "AdventureWorks.xsd", and add it to the form;
4. Select "Pointer", then drag &drop "TableAdapter" to your created Dataset;
5. Create a new connection or use an existing connection to SQL Server AdventureWorks Sample Database;
6. Input "SELECT ProductID, Name FROM Production.vProducrAndDescription WHERE (CultureID =N’en’) as SQL statements;"

Inserting Dataset and Table

1. Right-click "vProductAndDescription" on the DataSet to create a new column in the DataTable, and name the column as "Barcode";
2. Activate the Properties Window, and manually input "System.Byte[]" to the data type of the column;
3. Switch to the Solution Explorer, and create a new report named "Report1.rdlc";
4. Activate the "Toolbox", then insert a Table to the report;

Adding Fields

1. Add three columns in the DataSet to the report table detail section, and drag an image item to the last column "Barcode";
2. Set image item property "Source" to "Database";
3. Set image item property "MIMEType"to "image/jpeg";
4. Set image item property "Value" to "=Fields!Barcode.Value";

Integrating PDF-417 Generator into RDLC Report

1. Select "Form1.cs[Design], and drag "ReportViewer" to Form1;
2. Choose your report, and bind data collection;
3. Copy the C# or VB .NET sample code into the method Form1_Load;
4. Switch to the Solution Explorer, and add the generator DLL to project reference;
5. Use "Avapose.matrixbarcode" namespace;
6. Run the Windows Forms.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// load data to the data table this.vProductAndDescriptionTableAdapter.Fill
(this.AdventureWorks.vProductAndDescription);
// create a Matrix barcode object
Matrix barcode = new Matrix();
// set barcode type 
barcode.MatrixBarcode = MatrixBarcode.PDF417;
// draw barcodes for each data row
foreach (AdventureWorks.vProductAndDescriptionRow 
row in this.AdventureWorks.vProductAndDescription.Rows)
{// set barcode encoding data value
barcode.Data = row.ProductID.ToString();
// set drawing barcode image format
barcode.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg;
row.Barcode = barcode.drawBarcodeAsBytes();
}
this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
}

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender 
As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code

You can move, or remove it, as needed.
