How do I displaying recursive data?

[t]

Does Telerik reports support displaying recursive data with the latest release?
Basically I have a simple table with a column "Parent_Id". I have been able to create
hierarchical trees in winforms but haven't had much success with the reports.

Thanks!

Hello t,

Although there is no out-of-the-box support for hierarchies you can achieve this result by using sub reports to represent hierarchical dependency. This possibility does not depend on the new features introduced in the last Reporting release. I have prepared a web site solution with a sample report which shows the data as you need it. Please find it attached.

To accomplish the task you have to use Report and SubReport Parameters and Filters.

I hope this will give you an idea how to start implementing your case. You can find more information on the above in the product documentation.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely yours,

I am trying to build the project. When I do, I get a build error. It seems I am missing Report1.resx.

I am using Visual Studio 2008. There are no conversion errors.

Thanks!

Hello Nick,

Simply delete the .resx file from the ReportLibrary and re-built the solution. Then set the website as startup project and you should be able to see the working solution my colleague provided.

I'm impressed with your products and support. I believe you've won me over from DevExpress.

Hi,

I tried to your solution. But I cannot see last node 'Node 1.2.1' in the report. If I enable error event in report1 I get 'Object with name 'Report1' already exists. Object should have unique names.' message on the report. 

I got exactly same error in my another project. I'm attaching the screenshot.

I'm waiting your suggestion.

Hello Mustafa,

The following example is old and irrelevant. You can find attached newer and more comprehensive version of this report, which will give you some answers concerning recursive data and Telerik Reporting.

I am having a similar issue.

In my master report I need to use the same subreport in 4 different areas. If I declare more than one subreport of the same type it errors off.

An error has occurred while processing Report 'Report1':
Object with name 'SubReport1' already exists. Object should have unique names.

Hi Paul,

This problem has already been addressed in the latest version of Telerik Reporting.

Hallo,

I'm trying out your product and when i try the OrgChartSolution it works.
But when i use the latest .dll's the example doesn't work anymore.
It gives the error, An error occured while processing SubReport 'ManagedEmployees'
Unable to cast object of type OrgChart to type Telerik.Reporting.ReportSource.

Any solution?

With kind regards,
Harry

Hello Harry,

In Q2 2012, we have changed the Report API a bit, so the example needs to be modified according to those new changes. You can find more information in the following KB article: How to migrate your project to utilize the new ReportSource objects.

For your convenience I have attached modified version of the OrgChartSolution project that works with the latest version.

Kind regards,
