Hi Viny,

To be honest, we have not tested Telerik Reporting under Mono, but we do not believe that it would work as we’re a multi-platform product (web and win) and have multiple dependencies (including OS ones), unlike the ASP.NET controls which require a browser and simulation of the .NET runtime only.
We’ve currently got a lot of other things on our hands, so support for Mono for Telerik Reporting is currently with low priority on our list.

Best wishes,
Steve

If you are going to linux you are better off rewriting your application in php. "Websites" built on top of mono tend to be slower than when on MS and like Steve points out if you have DLL files that work with other OS related stuff they will not work on mono it is more of a pain than anything.

Hello,

Nothing has changed since last post. In fact now we support two more platforms (Silverlight and WPF), which makes it even more questionable whether we would be able to work on Mono in the near future.

Hi!

I am trying to run Telerik Reporting Q1 2012 under Mono 2.10 + ASP .NET MVC and was unsuccessfull so far :(
For me it related to this bug in Mono: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-bugs/2010-March/098641.html 
because Reporting uses RegionInfo class to get current region and it might be NULL in Mono.

I am digging into it now and will let you know if any progress

Finally i got it worked with some workadounds (removing RegionInfo from sources and rebuilding them on Mono 2.10 under Debian)!
It now works in my ASP .NET MVC2 project well. If someone wants - i can share the complete solution.

Hi, Rav!

let me post it here instead.

upd: one problem i found while testing - is that Charts are partially workable in the Reports. This issue is related to some unsupported methods of Graphics class in Mono.

These are exciting news, Igor! It seems you are on the verge of making Telerik Reporting work under Mono. We welcome this idea and your enthusiasm.

We would like to assist you with any information and/or core changes you may need. Built-in support for Mono has always been with lower priority in our plans, but with your help we may be able to help the Mono community sooner than we thought.

Please, send us any questions you may have and we will try to address them. We would also like to get a list of changes you have made (and which you plan to make) to the source which allowed you to run Telerik Reporting under Mono. We would like to review these and find a way to include them in Telerik Reporting. Feel free to open a new support ticket in order to send us your project (unfortunately, sharing the source code of the product is not allowed publicly in the Forums, thus the request). We are ready to offer you a complimentary extension of your subscription for helping us with this project. How does this sound?

We are excited by this opportunity!

Vassil ,
sounds good, thanks!

so let me go over my changes..
i worked with Q1 2012 6.0.12.215 sources of Telerik Reporting; i was able to build them under MonoDevelop 2.8.8.4 with platform target Mono 2.10.8.

First thing as i mentioned before (server exception 500 error) is related to RegionInfo.CurrentRegion
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-bugs/2010-March/098641.html 

Workaround: 
CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
 // If current culture is invariant then region is not available.
if (ci != null && CultureInfo.BootstrapCultureID != 0x7F)
 currentRegion = new RegionInfo(CultureInfo.BootstrapCultureID);

so the best way - is to add a static variable currentRegion and replace all occurences of accessing property RegionInfo.CurrentRegion:
  • Telerik.Reporting\Drawing\PageSettings.cs line 261
  • Telerik.Reporting\Drawing\Unit.cs line 145
  • Telerik.Reporting\Report.cs line 115
  • Telerik.Reporting\ReportSectionBase.cs line 16
  • Telerik.Reporting.Pdf\PdfPageDictionary.cs line 23 
  • Telerik.Reporting.Pdf\PdfPageDictionary.cs line 43
(WinForms related sources are ommited)

Open  Telerik.Reporting.Processing\ExtensionManager.cs locate #if DEBUG directive (line 12) which contains extension types
 replace the  #else section with it so you should have:
static readonly string[] extTypes = new string[]
{
   "Telerik.Reporting.ImageRendering.ImageReport,              Telerik.Reporting.ImageRendering" + currentVersion
//... etc

Method GetExtensionTypes must be replaced as well:

static IEnumerable<string> GetExtensionTypes()
{
   return extTypes;
}

Put all compiled assemblies together (why dont XCOPY to some common build output directory) and change references from Telerik.Reporting GAC to the local assemblies named Telerik.Reporting.XXXXX. 
Remember, when you do this - you not able to open report with Visual Studio designer, so it would be better to have reports in different Class Libraries which are references to the GAC version of Telerik.Reporting assembly.

Last thing - in order to use ASP .NET MVC application, you should ignore ASPX and AXD in global.asax.cs:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
   routes.IgnoreRoute("{*allaspx}", new { allaspx = @".*\.aspx(/.*)?" });
   routes.IgnoreRoute("{*allaxd}", new { allaxd = @".*\.axd(/.*)?" });

Do it because you have HTTP handler registration of the Telerik Reporting in web.config
<add name="Telerik.ReportViewer.axd_*" type="Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.HttpHandler, Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=6.0.12.215, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be" path="Telerik.ReportViewer.axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />


The example which works for me on Mono, Debian ASP .NET MVC Project created with VS 2010:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/ApvtTmW2/Report.html
I removed all pre-compiled Telerik assemblies, so you should build them from scratch, using my post.

Right now i am trying to get Charts working with Mono, but due to some non-implemented things in System.Graphics  class it does not work as expected. Mono has its own GDI+ implementation (libgdiplus, http://www.mono-project.com/Libgdiplus) and should work fine in most (but not 100%) cases.

For example one of the problem i found so far  - Telerik.Charting\ChartGraphics.cs has methods EnumerateMetafile with overrides:
public void EnumerateMetafile(Metafile metafile, Point destPoint, Graphics.EnumerateMetafileProc callback)
       {
           chartGraphicsGraphics.EnumerateMetafile(metafile, destPoint, callback);
       }
It will throw exception on Mono (Not implemented). Not sure if this method (or it overrides) are really in use somewhere in Telerik code?
I just found this problem with Mono Migration Analyzer http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA 

I am still digging into it and trying to get Charts working with Mono as well. Will let you know about my progress!

p.s. How do i attach ZIP files? i believe i was able to do it before...

Sorry for delays, i have high load on another project and unable to review Reporting solution for Mono.
Did you apply anything from my post Apr 23, 2012? Vassil told he forwarded it to the Developers team.
According to the changes i made, the only problem for Mono persists - with Charts.
Will try to review it in the future against the latest Telerik Reports and Mono version.

Even if I did a work-around for now, I'm still interested in having the reporting under Mono. If you have a compiled dll, I can test it with my application and provide feedback.

Frederic, unfortunately i dont have them for now. I did same workaround on Windows as you mentioned (because of charts WMF problem on Mono). But i am interested to have the Telerik Reporting solution running on Mono too, and i will try to work on it using the latest versions of Mono and Telerik Reports very soon. Will keep this topic updated with my results. Please do the same if its possible ;)

Hi

Has there been any update on this (Telerik Reporting in Mono)? I'm also very keen to get this happening, actually I don't care so much about the report viewer, I just want to have a report generator service which can run on Linux OS.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello Rav,

Currently Telerik Reporting does not support Mono and since the last update by Igor there is no change and it is not in our short plans to revise this possibility.

If there is any chance it will be announce through our official channels, meanwhile if anyone has some update on this we will be glad to check it.

Hi guys!

I am overloaded with my project with a different tasks right now and extremely sorry that i have no time to complete that Mono support.
It is anyway in my TODO list, and i will re-visit it for sure next month.

If someone could help me with it - i kindly ask to provide some tests with WMF graphics inside Telerik Reports under Mono (since there was a problem with GDI+ support on Mono for WMF/EMF format).

Hi Stef.
Rav ask me to test latest telerik reporting with latest mono.
I've build mono from sources and tested some basic functionality.
For build latest mono in ubuntu/lubuntu 12.10 you can use this script: https://github.com/jvlppm/build_monodevelop/
Also for run my project you need to build xsp. For doing that you only need to add this line to script: install xsp

I've written mvc project that can generate report on server side and save report as file.
I've tested on simple report, that contains only text. Exporting to pdf not working, but export to MHTML, RTF, HTML working fine.
You can find code here mvc2.zip.
For testing you can change format in ReportHelper class:
var pdf = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, null);

To run project you need to open solution in monodevelop and run solution. Navigate in browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/home/exportpdf
File should be saved to App_Data/Reports

I've tested more complex reports, but mono crushed.

I hope with sources you can find why export to pdf not working and maybe make possible to create more complex reports.

P.S. I can share with you copy of my virtual machine with configured mono and mono develop.
P.P.S. in virtual environment lubuntu working faster than ubuntu and fully compatible with ubuntu.

Hi Andrey!
The problem you faced with - is related to the GDI+ partial implementation in Mono. PDF generation, as well as Graph, uses in-memory GDI+ WMF routine to make a drawing.

See this topic of gdiplus library http://wiki.winehq.org/GdiPlus (Metafile handling (WMF, EMF, EMF+) is not really implemented)
Here is the link to svn repository (which is not available at the moment) of Mono implementation http://www.mono-project.com/Libgdiplus

Hello Igor,

Our development team is well acquainted with the progress of this forum thread and your proposals. We have discussed the pros and cons of Mono, and we don't find it reliable enough to shift up the priority of supporting it.

Any community member interested in using our product in Mono, including us as a team, will appreciate your updates, and as far as it is related to Telerik Reporting technical questions, we will be glad to provide you all the needed support.

Rav and Andrey are able to test your product with the Linux and Mono, so i think we could mix up together.

Hello Igor,

We held an internal discussion about supporting Mono last week, and we think that the effort we'll put into supporting Mono will not pay off. The interest in the platform has decreased substantially in the past several months. The opportunity was there a few years ago (which we have missed obviously), but this is not the case today.

We prefer to focus our efforts in developing features which to cover new markets, such as support for MVC, HTML5 and mobile.

We hope this will not stop you from collaborating with other community members and continue working on this challenge.

We are sorry to bring you this news.

Hi Vassil,

yes i understood that and totally agree with you. Porting on Mono is not a high priority for now, but part of your community uses ASP .NET MVC running on Linux Servers, with Telerik technologies, such as KendoUI, and they work perfectly (i have started from Telerik Extensions for MVC, then migrated to KendoUI). The point of interest is to cover all Telerik web technologies running with Mono as well as .NET Framework. So i believe we will continue with our researches. The question is - could Telerik help with it by sharing a version of Telerik Reporting sources (maybe to the common storage, such as Codeplex), where it could be edited by community and all neccesary changes will be submitted for Mono compatibility.
Thank you!

Hi Stef, that is right!
with my big respect to your company i am not going to redistribute any part of your IP.
It was a proposal for Telerik about such possibility. 
I believe we will find out a workaround for the Mono support ;)

Hello, I know its been a long time (2 years) since the last post.. but we're still interested in trying to port to Mono. Is there any advances or change in direction from the Telerik team here?

Hello Rav,

Telerik Reporting does not include Mono support and such is not planned.
If other community members have news, we will appreciate your updates here.
