How to create an entire report programatically

[Andrew]

Hello,

I have a dataset with two datables and a relationship between them. I need to be able to generate reports entirely programatically because our reporting structure is purely dynamic and a user can choose columns, grouping, sorting etc at runtime.

Can you please provide me with code that will create a heirarchy report entirely programatically and for each detail record in Datable 1, have a sub report with records from datatable 2.

Can you also show me in the code how to add a column as the Grouping column.

 

Can you also show me how to style the report

 

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

As your question is too general, it would be best if you review the following resources:

• http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/programmaticcontrolofreports.html
• http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bbdeag.aspx
• http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designingreportscreatinggroupinglevels.html

An easy way to see a code you're not sure about is to do it through the report designer first. Then go into the InitializeComponent() method and see what code has been generated.
