Hello Graham,

In an HTML Lightswitch project you can use the HTML5 Viewer, which is a client-side widget based on HTML/JS/CSS that is server by a running instance of the Reporting REST service. Reports are processed and rendered on the server where the Reporting REST service is running.

Please check the Telerik Reporting system requirements, and the requirements of the HTML5 Viewer and the Reporting REST service. To ease your work with the viewer, test using the Visual Studio item templates to add the viewer in a web application - How To: Use HTML5 Report Viewer in an application.


There are also local demos installed by default under C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q2 2015\Examples.


I hope the provided information is helpful.

Regards,

Hello Graham,

The HTML5 Viewer is a client-side widget and must be added in the client part, and the Reporting REST service in the server part. For more details, please check the HTML5 Report Viewer overview.

The existing item template can only help you generate automatically the required HTML, but you will have to arrange the files based on the solution structure of your LightSwitch project (LightSwitch is not officially supported).
