Report fields with PDF, RTF, or Telerik content

[justin]

We are investigating Telerik Reports for WPF.

Our report needs to display 2 fields.

1 field contains content that is serialized from the Telerik RtfDataProvider in a RadRichTextBox in WPF.

1 field contains content that is serialized from the Telerik XamlDataProvider in a RadRichTextBox in WPF.

How do we display the content from both Telerik data providers in a report field?

As an alternative - we can export each field as a PDF. So how do we display a field containing PDF content in the report?

Hello Justin,

Telerik Reporting is a data-driven reporting solution and supports the data sources listed and described in the Data Source Components article. The Reporting engine cannot read the content of RadRichTextBox or other controls. The report cannot display PDF content either.

As a workaround, you may create a custom logic that reads the corresponding content and use an ObjectDataSource to trigger this logic and provide the data to the Report.
