Populate Report Parameter via Search

[Meny]

Hey,
i am integrating a report service to my application and i am looking for a way to implement a search that it's result will populate a report parameter.

Ideally - i would have a search text box that using autocomplete (or something liek that) will let me a select a value for  my report parameter (for example, suppose my datasource is for a products table, when i put a name in the text box - it would give me all datasource results that fit with that search and let me select one of them - and the selection will be the value of a report parameter that i'll use to render the report).

Is there anything remotely like this integerated in Telerik Reporting?

Thanks,

Let me see if I'm understanding what you want... For the sake of example, let's say you provide a dropdownlist containing the names of countries and another dropdownlist containing the names of the cities for the selected country. If this is what you're after, I don't believe this behaviour is currently integrated within Telerik. What we've had to do is create a form, be it a Windows form or a Web page, that allows the user to select all the search criteria used for the report. That approach allows you to wire-up all the logic within that form, or it's code-behind. Once the user has provided all the needed search criteria, and clicks a button, set the report parameters accordingly and display the report.

Hope that helps!
