    Telerik Reporting: Filtering Your Reports Using Report Parameters

    Users can control how data is used in a report by taking advantage of the Report Parameters feature in Telerik Reporting. You can add parameters to your reports at design time through an editor, at runtime through a user interface in the Report Viewer, programmatically, or via a SubReport parameter collection. In this post I’ll show you how to set up a report that allows users to enter parameter values through the UI of the Report Viewer. This functionality provides users with the means to filter their reports quickly so that only the most relevant data is displayed. Setup the Report To get...
