Hello,
We are evaluating telerik report control to see whether it can support our requirement. so far we have these two questions:
1. Can we develop a custom chart control and use it in the report, the reason why I ask is, one of our chart is quite unique, the standard chart control can't support it.
2 Can we extend the export feature of report, I mean, we need to export the report to native word document, I know telerik can export to rtf format , but it is not good enough, as we need to generate image numbers, control the font used in word, and furthermore, once it has been export to word(doc), customer can easily to change it. if it is possible we would like to provide a custom export feature, but so far we don't know how to do it.
Could you please let me know whether it is possible? if it is possible how to do it , where is the technical materials(document).
Thanks and regards
Johnny

Hello Johnny,
Thank you for your interest in Telerik Reporting and up to your questions:

Thank you for your interest in Telerik Reporting and up to your questions:
- Telerik Reporting offers a chart item for your data visualization needs. It uses the same engine as RadChart for ASP.NET AJAX control, so if you are familiar with it, you should get up to speed in no time. Its documentation, examples and forum threads are there for you whenever you are not sure about something.
However if you have not worked with our chart before and you do not want to learn new chart or simply feel comfortable with the default asp:chart control (or any chart control for that matter), then you can still use it in a Telerik Report. You can save the image to a stream/image and show it inside our PictureBox item. For more information and sample, refer to the following code library: Use asp:chart in Telerik Reports. - We're introducing export to Word (OpenXML 2.0 format) in the upcoming Q1 version expected tomorrow. Check the following blog post for more info:Run Your Telerik Reports in the Cloud and Export Them to Word, PowerPoint & Excel 2007+.
