Hello,
I am working with the Telerik reporting tool. I have created a page, where are displayed 4 charts (1 RadChart & 3 HTMLChart).
I was wondering if it would be possible to put this entire page inside a report (like it was a printscreen or something like that).
I have created those charts with codebehind. Series are added with LINQ queries, and i would like to allow the user to do PDF export, for example.
Many thanks for your help !
PS : Sorry for the mistake inside the title :p

Telerik Reporting serves a different purpose, it is not a one way stop for "put what I see on my screen in a document" solution. Adding printscreen to a report would not do you any good as it would be exported as image in any format. If your goal is to provide export capability, you should create a report with the same layout from scratch. You can save your charts to images and display them in reports like in this thread: Use asp:chart in Telerik Reports.

Hello,
First, thank your for this answer.
I think that i explained it in a wrong way. I generate 4 charts dynamicly in codebehind. 3 of them are HTMLChart, 1 is a RadChart.
About the "printscreen", it's a way to describe what I would like to achieve, and not exaclty what I want. I just want a report with 4 charts that already exist, and provide PDF export (for example) to the user.
I guess that is impossible to use HTMLChart inside a report, right ? I must use the Reporting chart. So, i must develop again what i aleady done, but inside a report, that's it ?
Yes, i want my 4 charts inside a report :) For example, on the page where are the 4 charts, i would like, by clicking on a button, generate the report.
Many thanks :)

Hello Maxime,
Massimiliano's reply is spot on - you can't use external charts or components inside a Telerik Report, but specifically as you need chart (which is always an image), you can save that image and show it inside the report in a PictureBox item. The link Massimiliano provided is an useful resource to get you started.
Kind regards,
Steve
