    Connecting Telerik Reporting to OData feeds

    Download ODataSample (C# VS2010) - 167KB Download ODataSample (VB VS2010) - 180KB The Open Data Protocol, also known as OData recently has gained a lot of popularity. That is why we decided to demonstrate how to connect and consume an existing OData feed from Telerik Reporting with the help of WCF Data Services. For the sake of this example we will connect to the Northwind sample database exposed as an OData service with the following root URL: http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc.

    Dynamically Loading Telerik Reports with MEF

    So I've been spending some time lately learning to use one of the powerful new features of .NET 4.0, the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). Using MEF, I thought it would be neat to create an application that allows you to dynamically load Telerik Reports from an assembly without having to recompile your application. Here is how I set it up. Contracts When setting this application up, I wanted to be able to define contracts on my reports so that I could import them into a ReportManager class when the application starts up.
