I am researching asp.net controls for reporting. I am looking for a control that will allow me to set a different style for print, even a different layout.
I haven't downloaded the trial because I am only a designer and do not have the programming skills involved. I am simply doing the research into this control.
So if anyone could lead me to some documentation on how to do this if even possible that would be great.
I know you can create and export/import styles for different reports, but in one report basically I have a web style and a print style.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
Actually the purpose of our Reporting tool (in fact of the competitors too) is to present the reports looking as equal as possible in all available formats and your inquiry is on the other hand asking for exactly the opposite. If you want to present a report styled in one way and print it with other styling, it would be best to prepare a second report with the different styling and print it instead.
Another possible solution is using css media types. In brief, this is a CSS2 technique that allows to specify different styles for each existing media - screen, print, all, etc. However this would allow you to change limited number of items on the report and only in the web domain.
As we stated above this is not what we would vouch for and not what our Reporting solution has been created for.
All the best,

Thanks that helps, however we need reports from SQL Server Reporting Services, which as of Jan 08 as I just learned you do not support.
But if we ever need reporting of a different nature then this will be good to know.
Thanks

Hello Matt,
We're a bit puzzled by your reply as we have nothing to do with SQL Server Reporting Services (we're not an add-in to it) and we had never supported converting reports from rdl/rdlc file format.
RDL/RDLC formats differ a lot from the Telerik reports. Telerik report is divided into sections from different types and every section type has its specific meaning. In the opposite the RDL format doesn't define such sections but uses other data aware elements - List, Table, etc.
At the moment these differences plus other pending issues prevent us from importing such reports, but we do have plans to eventually provide RDL/RDLC converter for a subsequent release.
Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience.
