Getting the relative path to the rdlc report in my winform app

Question

I am automatically creating a PDF from some of our reports in a month-end process. I am running into a problem where ReportViewer.LocalReport can\'t find my rep

Answer 1

You can store the reports in a "resources" file, and by using an Assembly reader of the given .dll / .exe where the "resource" file is embedded, can read as a streaming reference. Then set your report to the embeded stream to get the report definition.

Special note. If your report has nested sub-reports, the report will fail unless you also set in your LocalReport subreport definition another such reference to your subreport .rdlc file.
