Telerik Reporting
Contents

This article explains the steps needed to create an application which uses the Silverlight report viewer.

  1. First you need to create a Silverlight project. Once you do, add references to the following assemblies in your Silverlight project:
    • Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight.dll (located in C:\Program Files\Telerik\Reporting Q1 2012\Bin)
    • System.Windows.Controls.dll
    • Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll
    • Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.dll
    • Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll

    The RadControls for Silverlight assemblies are located in C:\Program Files\Telerik\Reporting Q1 2012\Examples\CSharp\SilverlightDemo\bin)

  2. Add the ReportViewer to the MainPage.xaml from the ToolBox either through Visual Studio 2010 or from Expression Blend. You should skip points #3, #4 and #5 if you have done that, as they describe how to register the report viewer manually.
  3. Open MainPage.xaml
  4. Register the namespace in the following way: xmlns:<Name of namespace>= "<Name of assembly>" in our case xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight;assembly=Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight"
  5. Now you would be able to declare the ReportViewer control:
    CopyXML
    <telerik:ReportViewer></telerik:ReportViewer>
  6. Next we need to set the ReportServiceUri and Report properties of the viewer. The ReportViewer..::.ReportServiceUri should point to the Telerik Reporting WCF service:(ReportServiceUri="../ReportService.svc") and the ReportViewer..::.Report should be set to the assembly qualified name of the report you want to show i.e.:(Report="Telerik.Reporting.Examples.CSharp.BarcodesReport, CSharp.ReportLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"). Review Creating a Simple Report topic for information on creating a Telerik Report. The MainPage.xaml should look similar:

    Example

    CopyXML
    <UserControl x:Class="MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
    xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight;assembly=Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
            <telerik:ReportViewer  x:Name="ReportViewer1" Width="1000"
              ReportServiceUri="../ReportService.svc"
              Report="Telerik.Reporting.Examples.CSharp.BarcodesReport, CSharp.ReportLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
            </telerik:ReportViewer>
  </Grid>
</UserControl>
