Hi
I started at 06:00 this AM, downloaded and installed the latest Reporting CTP2. I have spent 5 hours on it today in the hope that this would allow us to replace our old reporting method with this new exciting professional one.
But I have to give up. Took me 3 hours to just get the designer up in C# demo.
This could be a great new revenue stream and product line for Telerik and would love to use it.
So step one - if you could - please show me how to get a project up in VB - and if possible DNN 4.40 . Then we could get going!
Thanks
Howard

Hello Howard,
Thank you for your interest in our Reporting tool. As you have noticed, the current version is in pre-beta stage and still needs some improvement and polishing. For one, we will need to add some documentation to show you how to do selected tasks. Another problem is that the current version does not offer VB examples yet, just C#. We will add such for the first official beta at the end of next month. We will also add support for new item templates in VB.
telerik Reporting can work in any .NET application, so it is not connected particularly with DNN. Still, we have not tested under DNN and you may experience some DNN-specific problems when using the web-viewer. We will do our best to test the official version under DNN once it is released.
All the best,
Rossen

Hi Rossen
Thanks for your reply.
1) I feel that it is wrong to provide the download without any mention that it currently supports C# only. Any way you look a that it is not a good way to start.
However, I am 100% happy to continue to test and try with the product as long as I know the situation.
Step one: Please can u tell me if it is possible to get the Designer and Data Explorer tools to work in VB design time environment.
Thanks

Hi Howard,
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. The next release of the reporting tool will include VB item templates and examples.
As for the design-time, it is not language-dependent. Design-time experience is exactly the same in all .NET languages. The only difference is the code that is generated in the code-behind file. Until we release the next version, you may try to convert one of the existing C# examples or a new blank report with this tool: http://codeconverter.sharpdevelop.net/Convert.aspx.
The next version will feature full examples in VB.NET which will help you with your development and tests. Again, we are sorry for not providing such in the very first CTP versions of our Reporting tool.

Hi Howard,
We have prepared a small Visual Basic sample. It contains a windows form with a report viewer and a sample report. We hope that this will work for you and help you evaluate the reporting tool until the beta comes out. Just make sure to set the correct connection string in the sample report's constructor. If any problems arise, feel free to contact us.
George, you can use any programming language, supported by the .NET framework, including VB controls.
Sincerely yours,
Rossen

I see that you have a WebDemo project written in C#. Do you or will you have sample code using VB? If so, when will you have this available. We planned on creating reports for the Web using VB/ASP mainly vb as the code.
Thx for you help.

Hello John,
In order to display the report in a web page you need to do the following:
1. Add a report viewer web control from the telerik tab in the toolbox to your page.
2. In the Page_Load event create a new report and set the viewer's Report property to point to it:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.ReportViewer1.Report = New GroupReport()
End Sub
That's it. This should do the job.
Best wishes,

Hi
I have the same question. Please simply explain how can I get the Designer and Data Explorer tools to work in VB design time environment.
In a c# project If I click "Add New Item" in solution explorer I can see "telerik Report". but it's not present in vb How can it be visible to me ?

Hello Ali,
We have added VB item templates and VB examples in the upcoming beta release. Very soon you will be able to add VB reports and work with the reporting tool in a VB environment. The beta is expected in less than two weeks.

Hi Rossen
Glad to see that I am not the only VB person out there who wanted to try out the new report system.
Please can you possibly post a message to this thread as soon as the new release is available?
Thanks
Howard

Hi George,
To enable the Report Viewer control you should first open a Windows Form or a Web Form where to place it. Otherwise both win and web controls are disabled and cannot be seen. Let me know if this is not the case.
