Jiwa

Hi There

We have a requirement wherein we place an email button on the ribbon of the warehouse transfer out form which initiates the JiwaApplication.JiwaEmailUI.MainForm to send an email. We have written a plugin for this at the moment, which works fine, just wanted to know if we can attach a Jiwa Report to the email on the fly, so basically its a warehouse transfer report which gets generated depending on the tranfer no it originated from.

Thanks

Hi Riyaz,

Yes - the Email Message object has an attachments collection which is just our normal documents collection. You can add a report to that. For an example of how to generate a PDF and save it to disk, see this topic - you essentially want to do exactly that and then add the file to the Attachments property of the Email Message.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the quick reply, am sure that'll do the job, got a question though, can we save the PDF withing jiwa temp folders and then retrieve it, rather than a local drive path or network path.

Thanks

Yes - the topic I linked shows how to do that in my first reply:

Code: Select all

     // export report to PDF
      string tempFolderPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
      string fileName = report.Title;

      // Make filename safe
      foreach (char c in System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars())
      {
         fileName = fileName.Replace(c.ToString(), "");
      }

      string fullFileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(tempFolderPath, fileName) + ".pdf";
