Using WPF, Report viewer is not displaying the report specified by the UriReportSource

[Sam]

Hi,

 

I'm using WPF with visual studio 2015.

I'm trying to display a basic report in a wpf telerik report viewer control.

I created the report Test.trdx using Report Designer Q3 2013 witch seems to be working fine in Preview mode.

1) I tried to connect the report viewer to display Test.trdx using visual studio 2015, however in report viewer properties, when clicking on Report Source -> New

    I receive the following message box from visual studio 2015 "No types are available for you to add to this collection".

2) I tried to connect the report viewer to display Test.trdx programmatically as follow but the report is not displayed:

    Telerik.Reporting.UriReportSource uriReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.UriReportSource();
    uriReportSource.Uri = "C:\\WorkingDir\\Reporting\\Test.trdx";
    reportViewer.ReportSource = uriReportSource;
    reportViewer.RefreshReport();

 

Why am I receiving the message box error in (1) and why telerik report viewer is not displaying Test.trdx in (2)?

 Thanks

Sam

Hello Sam,

Visual Studio 2015 is officially supported as of Q2 2015, right after the release of VS2015.

Telerik Reporting Q3 2013 works as expected in Visual Studio 2010|2012|2013. This can be tested with the local examples installed by default under C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting <VERSION>\Examples.

Also if you install the latest available Telerik Reporting Q3 2015 SP2, the installer will add design-time support for VS2015 and you will be able to open the project that uses Telerik Reporting Q3 2013 in VS2015. To install both versions side by side, you can download and use the corresponding MSI - Installing Telerik Reporting.


Note that as of Q1 2014, WPF/Silervlight ReportViewer controls use only implicit styles - WPF ReportViewer: Manual Setup. Also each major Telerik Reporting version is built against a specific Telerik UI for WPF version - Upgrade Path Q3 2013.
