Report Designer, *.trdx and Telerik.Reporting.Report

[Hans]

Hi all

I use two versions of the report

1. I use the fixed report, which I created through wizard NewItem -> Reporting -> TelerikReport Q3 2012. Was created a new class (FixedReport) and it was automatically inherited from: Telerik.Reporting.Report - he work perfectly.
In the class FixedReport I create my user function which also work well

2. Customer with Telerik Report Designer create a report-file with extension trdx. I load it into a byte array and work with it:

// ...

using (var reader = XmlReader.Create(stream, settings))
{
    var xmlSerializer = new ReportXmlSerializer();

    var reportDocument = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(reader);

    // ....

    return new InstanceReportSource { ReportDocument = reportDocument };
}

How do I make my object "reportDocument" was not an object of type Report, but was the object of my type, inherited from the Report (like my first version).

Please help

Hi Hans,

From your post It is not clear what is your exact inquiry i.e.:

• you want to create a base report and deserialize the XML file of your client to your base type?
• you want your client to be able to use the user function you have created?

If the latter, then please review the following help article: Extending Report Designer. If the first, then it would not be possible as the dedicated ReportXmlSerializer class only works with Telerik.Reporting.Report.

Yes, I want option number one, please

Hi Hans,

We've just listed our guesses on what you want to accomplish, those are not options. As mentioned in our previous post, the first guess would not work as the dedicated ReportXmlSerializer class used to serialize/deserialize the reports only works with the base class Telerik.Reporting.Report and is not aware of any other types.
