Reporting says 'No page to display.'

[anon]

Hi all, I can preview my report in Telerik Report Designer tool, but when I integrate and run the MVC project in Visual Studio, it says "no page to display"... There are no error messages.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks!

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with our product.

I would suggest setting the SkipBlankPages property of the report to False. In this way, you will be able to see the actual error.

Let me know when you have any updates.

Where do I put that property? I tried the controller telerik created when I make a new telerik report in VS, in "ReportServiceConfiguration" but it says it doesnt contain definition for skipblankpages.

edit: ok its in the editor.

edit2: so the error was "Unable to establish a connection to the database. Please verify that your connection string is valid. In case you use a named connection string from the application configuration file, make sure the name is correct and the connection string settings are present in the configuration file of your application" and I found the solution is to make the name of the db connection same as the one in my webconfig.

Thanks!

Thank you for the update.

Such an error indicates that the connection string is missing in the configuration file (for .NET Framework applications web.config or app.config) of the application or it is wrong. An example is:

<connectionStrings>
	<add name="Telerik.Reporting.Examples.CSharp.Properties.Settings.TelerikConnectionString"
			connectionString="Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=SSPI"
			providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Please, make sure that you have added it and it is correct.
