How to use Power BI (PBIX) with C# Window Application

[ashokkumar05]

Hi, 

Is this possible that we can use Power BI report (PBIX) with window application. Or other way which I can use BI report with pure C# window application? Actually my initial idea is to use bi reporting tool with window application and later same report can be used for publishing..

 I tried to use using webBrowser control, but it is throwing lot of script exceptions during run time.

My development environment is VS 2010 (C#) and SQL server 2012.

 Thanks & Regards,

Ashok

Hi Yuliana Gu, 

Thanks you for your reply. I gone through this link and in this link also suggesting to use webBrowser control and provide the URL to display the report. I want to use the report as offline (I mean without internet). My DB and PBIX file all are in same network computer and I want to display that report in my window application. Using BI desktop I am able to create a report offline but not able to use that pbix file into window application.

If any way I can use the offline (pbix) report into my window application like other report (devexpress, crystal report) then it will great. 

Thanks & Regards,

Ashok
