Broken Links in Documentation

[JoeSurfage]

Hello,

I have found approx. 15 topics that don't have working links in the online documentation:

http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/

• "Creating a Simple Report"
• "Architecture"
• "Designing Reports" --> "Creating a Report"
• all 10 topics under "Setting Report Item Properties"
• "Connecting Data to a Report"-->"DesigningReportsReportWizard"
• "Using Styles to Customize Reports",
• all 4 topics under "Advanced Report Styling"
• Etc.

BTW, there were threads back in July and May pointing out similar problems - so this seems to be happening with each new release.  It might not hurt to ask the person who is posting them to check their work when they are done.

Best regards

Hi JoeSurfage,

Thank you for pointing this out.

I think the problem was in the fact that you were still using the older version of the documentation (v1.1). We updated the files a couple of days ago and now everything seems to be ok. Please, check the online help again and let me know if you still find these problems.

To make sure that you are using the updated docs, the help should be for Telerik Reporting v1.5.

We plan to have an even better version of the doc files next week, with the release of Q2 2007 SP1 (v1.5.1).


All the best,

Hmm, it sounds like you're saying that I did something wrong and that's why the documentation didn't work.  I think I was pretty clear in my first post that the documentation which had the problem was at:

http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/

So, I don't think it's possible for me to have been using the wrong version.  I was using whatever you had on the site.

It does look it's fixed at this point, thanks.

• There is no "Architecture" page.  Can you point me to something which describes the reporting architectre?
• I'm interested in:
• What needs to be deployed on the web server ASP.NET environment? 
• Can reporting be deployed in a medium-trust hosted environment?

Sorry, JoeSurfage. Indeed I did not use the best wording. The sentence should read

"I think the problem was in the fact that you were still seeing the older version of the documentation (v1.1). "

As to the Telerik Reporting architecture, we have extended the help with several topics which will shed light on how things work. There is no dedicated "Architecture" section, per se, but we have extended the documentation to cover parameters, filters, expressions, etc, which should help you with your tasks. In case you still do not find what you are after, please let us know and we will send you the necessary info.

Since Telerik Reporting is embedded reporting engine it works equally good in windows forms and web applications. Due to the limitations that the restricted environment you cannot use Telerik Reporting in medium trust.

To deploy Telerik Reporting on the server the following assemblies are required to be in the bin folder of the application:

• Telerik.Reporting.dll
• Telerik.Reporting.Processing.dll
• Telerik.Reporting.Interfaces.dll
• Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll ( web site/application only)
• Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll (desktop application only)

When deploying a Web Site project using the VS2005 built-in functionality the assemblies from the GAC are not copied automatically, so you will need to copy the above assemblies by hand from the Telerik Reporting bin folder.

We will be glad to answer any other questions you may have.
