[Azeem]

Hi there everyone. How are you? Hope you are doing great !! Actually I recently started working as a asp.net Developer and wanted to print graphs and invoices using Telerik reporting but you see I can't get my head around how Telerik reporting works ... I am designing the pdf in Visual studio and binding it with a DTO and programmatically Mapping values to it but you see there is no clear documentation nor there is any tutorial that will help me better understand Telerik reporting I am very frustrated. Help will be very much appreciated

Hello Azeem,

Telerik Reporting is a .NET-based platform and a component library which provides reporting controls for websites, cloud services, mobile and desktop applications. Telerik Reporting can retrieve and process data from relational, multidimensional, ORM, or custom data layer based data sources. The ready reports can be viewed in various formats (including PDF, Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents), and can be viewed with a dedicated viewer in a Web or .NET Desktop application.

We have a Getting Started guide that includes the following articles:

• Creating the Demo report
• Setting the page header
• Populating the table with data
• Creating the graph
• Setting the page footer
• Integrating the report in Visual Studio Application
• Parameterizing the graph
• Adding the column graph

It's a great starting point for new users, please check it out.

After going through the first steps, I would recommend having a look at the Designing Reports and Using Reports in Applications articles.

Regarding Graphs, we have a How to add Graph to Report guide, please check it out.

We also provide an Invoice Report Wizard that makes creating Invoices a fast and easy process.

I hope the provided information is helpful to you, please let me know if you require further assistance. Thank you for using Telerik Reporting.

Hi, I am using Visual Studio to Design my graphs and reports but you see whenever I try to make a report where I am using a line graph and categorizing x-axis with DateTime  But you see(in majority of time) the same values on the same date doesn't show up but sometimes it does Please help me with that... I am attaching the pdf of the report missing 4 to 5 values.

Hello Azeem,

By default, the data point values in the graph will not be displayed, to change that we need to edit the DataPointStyle and DataPointLabelStyle properties.

Specifically, we need to set their Visible property to True. The DataPointStyle and DataPointLabelStyle properties can be found at Series -> lineSeries.

I have attached a sample CS report that you can use as a further reference.

If you continue to experience issues, please consider sending us your report alongside some sample data so that we can inspect it locally.

I look forward to receiving an update from you. Thank you for using Telerik Reporting.
