Telerik Reporting

  1. Select File | New | Project from the Visual Studio 2005 File menu.  Select the Windows Application project, give it a name and location.  Click the OK button to close the dialog.

  2. Right-click the project References and select Add Reference from the context menu. Select the reference for the class library containing your report from the list on the Projects tab. Note: If the class library resides in another solution you will need to use the Browse tab and navigate to the assembly containing the report.

  3. From the ToolBox drag a Telerik ReportViewer control to the Windows form.
  4. Rebuild the Windows Forms project.
  5. Set the Report property from the drop down list. This will be the report that was defined in the class library.

    Note

    Once the report is selected, notice that a component representing the report appears in the tray below Windows form designer. The component allows you to access the properties of the report in your report viewing application, providing access to report parameters, styles and page settings.

  6. Add a call to the report viewers RefreshReport() method, just after the call to InitializeComponent() in the form constructor.
    CopyC#
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
    }

     

    CopyVB.NET
    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        reportViewer1.RefreshReport()
    End Sub
  7. Right-click the Windows report viewing application and select Set as Startup Project from the context menu.
  8. Press F5 to run the report.
