Clone Report programmatically - Telerik Reporting

[Krunal]

I have embedded Telerik report designer in angular application. I want to clone the existing report and create new report programmatically.  Can anyone provide pointer on how to achieve this? Closest I could find is this i.e. copy over all the report components one by one but I find it laborious and little risky if I miss anything while copying over. 

Thanks!!

Hi Krunal,

Thank you for the provided information!

The easiest way to copy an existing report(TRDP/TRDX) built with the Standalone Report Designer programmatically may be by using the File.Copy Method.

If that does not work, you can unpackage/deserialize the report, then you can package/serialize as many copies as needed, please refer to the following articles for more information:

• Packaging Report Definitions Explained - Telerik Reporting
• Serializing and Deserializing Report Definitions Explained - Telerik Reporting

If you wish to create a new report from zero programmatically, you may have a look at the following articles for example:

• Creating a Report with code - Telerik Reporting
• Creating Sections with code - Telerik Reporting
• Creating Report Items with code - Telerik Reporting
• Accessing Report Items with code - Telerik Reporting

I hope this will help. Let me know if I can assist with anything else.
