Hi,

I'm currently evaluating your reporting product, for ASP.NET Webforms, and have a few of questions:
(Just one question now:)

1. When designing a report, is it possible to initialize a multvalue parameter with multiple values? I can do this at run-time using an array but I can't see how to do it at design-time.

ETA: Ignore 2, 3 and 4, I have the answers.

2. Is it possible to specify the delimiter for the .csv export? If not, is there an event I can handle when the export is complete so that I can change the delimiter of the saved file?
[The delimiter can either be set in web.config or using the deviceinfo when exporting programatically
See: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/programmatic-exporting-report.html]
See; http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/device-information-settings-csv.html]

3. The client has a requirement to allow users to create a report based on _parts_ of other reports. I see that the subreport fits the bill for combining multiple full reports together. My first thought would be to present the user with a treeview of the type and name all the report parts - header, charts, tables etc. They would then check if they wanted a part included in the subreport. For all unchecked parts, I would changed the Visible property to false. Is this the best way to approach?

4. I saw elsewhere on the forum a solution for dynamically hiding columns in a report. The solution used a Crosstab. Is it also possible to do it with a Table?

Thanks

Hello Julian,

The multi-value parameters need an object array and currently, there isn't a way to define one using expressions, so doing it programmatically is the only way.
