Starting in 2019, the Reporting control is no longer included in Essential Studio®. If you're experiencing issues with the Syncfusion� Reporting Platform, Report Viewer, Report Designer, or Report Writer, we recommend migrating to Bold Reports, our dedicated reporting platform.

Bold Reports offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features for all your reporting needs, and we will help you make a smooth transition from the discontinued control. Our support team at https://support.boldreports.com/ is here to assist you with any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the migration process.

We thank you for choosing Syncfusion� and appreciate your understanding.

ReportViewer export filename

I'm passing the RDL to the control via stream. When I export the report, the filename is always report.pdf, report.xlsx, etc. How can I change that download file name to something more meaningful?

Hi Richard,   
  
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.   
  
We have a “ReportExport” event in ReportViewer control to set the report name dynamically while clicking the reportviewer export option as shown in the following code example,      
 
<script>  
    function onReportExport(args) {  
        //increament file name in JS      
        var _exportName = $(args.exportAction).find('#' + this._id + '_exportfileName');  
        var currentDate = new Date();  
        var date = currentDate.getDate();  
        var month = currentDate.getMonth();  
        var year = currentDate.getFullYear();  
        _exportName.val('DemoReport ' + date + '-' + month + '-' + year);  
  
    }  
</script>  
  
<body style="overflow: hidden; position: static; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%">  
    <div style="width:100%; height:100%; position:absolute;">  
        @(Html.EJ().ReportViewer("reportsample")  
        .ProcessingMode(Syncfusion.JavaScript.ReportViewerEnums.ProcessingMode.Remote)  
        .ReportServiceUrl(VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/api/ReportApi"))  
        .ReportPath("~/App_Data/GroupingAgg.rdl")  
        .ReportExport("onReportExport")  
        )  
    </div>  
</body>  
 
We have prepared a sample and it can be downloaded from,    

Please refer to the below UG documentation for more information,
