Creating a multiple column header report and assigning the datasource at runtime using datatable

[Mohan]

Hi All,

I'm new to Telerik reporting and this is going to be my first report. Here is my req. I need to create a report which contains 45 columns. I had placed all the columns in the page header section by increasing report width as well as changing the same in PageWidth of the designer. When I clicked on preview it is showing only the columns that is going to be on the page1, it is not rendering the rest of the columns. I did checked in other pages also it's not showing up. what may be the issues.

Also in my wpf application when I click on a button then I need to open a  new window which has report viewer control on it. So I will pass datatable from window1 to window2 and then window2 will assign the datasource of the report as datatable. This is my idea. Is it possible or not. if possible how can I assign the field mappings.

Please let me know what are the ways to pass datasource at runtime and how to assign the mapping between the fields.

Thanks,
Mohan

I would recommend going through the documentation (I personally consider Designing reports section mandatory), as it is obvious you're not clear about report generation. The explanation of the sections' purpose and report life cycle would answer your question why your current setup does not work as you expect.

Hi Massimiliano,

Thanks for your quick reply.

When you are talking about the document do you mean TelerikReporting-LearningGuide.pdf. If there is any other source please let me know.

Thanks,

I am talking about the product documentation (that thing you're supposed to look into first when you don't understand something). Every software product has documentation, even MS do (MSDN). Telerik's is installed with the product and available in Visual Studio or accessible online (http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/overview.html)
