bind shape length to objectdatasource property

[Joe]

I'm using an objectdatasource, and I'd like to bind the length of a Horizontal Line Shape to a member of that objectdatasource. I've tried returning a string, int and double but get errors like

  that below. Is it possible to do this?

An error has occurred while processing Shape 'shape1': Bindings error - An error occurred while invoking the setter on property 'Width' with value '0.11in'

Use it:

shape1.Width = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.In(0.11);

or

shape1.Width.Value = 0.11;

[Joe]

Is it possible to do this binding the property to the object?

[YARARMAN]

Which object and its property? TextBox, Shape etc. ?

[Joe]

Width property of a Shape.

[YARARMAN]

Conditional Formatting avaible.
I think, but you can't to change width by it.
Use my code above before Report rendering.

[Joe]

How would I do that? I have an objectDataSource, which is a list of objects, and I want the Width of this shape to represent that property on that particular object.

Hello！Could you tell me what is 'rprSample()'  ?  It comes from  this row:   Telerik.Reporting.Report mainReport = new rprSample();   

[Stef]

Hello christinecyx,

The following row creates a new instance of a Telerik Report designed in VS Report Designer:

Telerik.Reporting.Report mainReport = new rprSample();

The report is a type inheriting Telerik.Reporting.Report.

For more details, please check How To: Create a Report (Visual Studio).
