Questions about Telerik Report model in asp.net

[Joe]

Can the report design in Telerik be viewed entirely in HTML or XML?
Does the report have drilldown, conditional subpress session (panel and field), and subreport features?
What are the reasons of choosing Telerik reporting model in asp.net over crystal report?
What are the advantages Telerik reporting model over SQL server reporting services?

Thanks

Hi Joe,

There is no feature wise comparison to any of our competitors that we can offer, and honestly such comparison would be pretty subjective if it is prepared from us. Although the products have one common purpose and look pretty similar they are based on different concepts and have different pros and cons that you should always have in mind when choosing the tool that would best fit your needs. You can review such comparisons that are made from users of both products in community forums such as StackOverFlow: check this thread.

Generally Telerik Reporting have support for drilldown reports and subreports. For more information check out the following help resources:

• Drilldown Report Action help article;
• SubReport help article;
• Telerik Reporting Overview page;
• Serializing Report Definition in XML help article.

Best wishes,
Peter
