Example of calling a basic report and generating the file hello2.pdf.

$LOAD_PATH << '../'
require 'report'

rpt = Report.new
rpt.set_rdl_path('C:/path/to/SimpleTest1.rdl')
rpt.export("pdf", "C:/path/to/hello2.pdf")

Example generating a report that has a parameter. Multiple parameters can be added using the set_parameter function. This example generates the file hello.pdf.

$LOAD_PATH << '../'
require 'report'

rpt = Report.new
rpt.set_rdl_path('C:/path/to/SimpleTestConnectionString.rdl')
rpt.set_parameter("ConnectionString", 'Data Source=C:/path/to/SqliteDatabaseFile.db;Version=3;Pooling=True;Max Pool Size=100;')
rpt.export("pdf", "C:/path/to/hello3.pdf")
