Hello,

we have a quite large PB application that contains more than 500 reports (datawindows)

We are creating a "light" version of the application on the web using C# VisualStudio 2022.

It would be very nice if we could re-use the existing reports in the web application and produce PDF out of them instead of rewriting everything from scratch.

Is there any way that this could be achieved?

Thank you in advance

Hi Panos;

  The key items here to run your DW reports are:

  • You need the PBVM runtime engine
  • You need the full DW engine
  • You need all this to run with your IIS web server.

   Since C# is not going to give you all these requirements I would suggest having a look at something like PB Web for this requirement.

powersharp could also be used - the main difference is that you use c# to code the REST apis.
