Hello,

I have the following scenario and would like guidance on how to achieve the desired behavior.

I have a panel that contains:

  • some common elements (for example, a title and metadata textboxes), and

  • an outer list, which itself contains an inner list.

The data source has the following structure (simplified):

[
  [
    { "Text": "exampleText1", "Value": 1 },
    { "Text": "exampleText2", "Value": 2 },
    { "Text": "exampleText3", "Value": 3 }
  ],
  [
    { "Text": "exampleText21", "Value": 1 },
    { "Text": "exampleText22", "Value": 2 },
    { "Text": "exampleText23", "Value": 3 }
  ]
]

The outer list is bound to the main data source.
The inner list uses a data source binding like:

DataSource = Fields.Item

The panel that contains the lists also includes common elements (title, metadata) that should only be visible when there is data.

The issue I am facing is related to visibility:
I would like to hide the entire panel (including the common elements) when there are no elements at all in the data structure (for example, when the outer list is empty or when it does not contain any inner items).

I have already tried the following approach:

  • creating a report parameter bound to the data source,

  • attempting to evaluate a condition such as Count(Fields.Item) > 0,

  • setting the parameter to true or false based on that condition,

  • and then binding the panel’s Visible property to this parameter.

However, I was not able to make this approach work as expected.

Could you please advise on the recommended way to detect this condition and properly control the panel’s visibility in this scenario?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Balazs

Hello.
I am using ASP.NET Framework, and in the Telerik.Reporting.Graph section I have a chart that is populated by a stored procedure.
The output of my stored procedure has three columns: DayOfMonthProductionType, and Value, and it is structured as follows.

DayOfMonth ProductionType Value
1 Staple 1244
1 SumAll 3066.2
1 Tow 1822.2
2 Staple 624.9
2 SumAll 3984.6
2 Tow 3359.7
3 Staple 1865.38
3 SumAll 5126.18
3 Tow 3260.8

ProductionType has three values: TowStaple, and SumAll.

I need SumAll to be displayed as a line chart, and Tow and Staple to be displayed as bar (column) charts within the same chart.
DayOfMonth should be displayed horizontally on the X-axis and represent the days of the month.

No matter how much I tried, I could not limit the ProductionType values in the line chart using the filters in:

  • series < lineSeries1 < GraphGroup < Filters
  • series < SeriesGroup < Filters

so that only ProductionType = SumAll is shown in the line chart.

The only place where I managed to apply this filter was in:

  • Data < SeriesGroup < Filters

but that filters the entire dataset, causing the bar chart to be filtered as well.

Please help me with this issue.
A sample of my code is attached.

Thank you.

I laid out in the detail section a form that will be physically printed and I just need the number from the database to appear in the upper right. My goal is for the form to repeat for every row in the database. Currently a table with the database put in the upper right shows all the values in the table and it pushes everything below it down page.

I understand that licensing terms for Telerik Reporting have recently changed.

Does this change affect distribution of the Report Designer? I have not found any reference to that in the documentation.  Based on what I had read in your forums, documentation, and blogs in the past, the Report Designer was freely distributable.  I would have expected any change to be reflected in your Licensing FAQ.

Thank you for your clarification.

Best regards, 
Mark

I have a report with all of the content in a  group header section, all of which fits nicely on one page with one problem. I have a subreport in the content shown here on the designer;

The Subreport is a simple name list with just a detail section (no headers - the waring is that it's not full page width and will be extended horizontally - not what I want, but OK...);

However, it renders like this;

I.e. With a page break before it, with the sub report object (Green) from the main report expanding to full page height, then another page break afterwards and then the rest of the content

I've checked all of the page break settings and they're all set to none - anyone seen anything similar?

 var clientReportSource = new Telerik.ReportViewer.Html5.WebForms.ReportSource();
 clientReportSource.IdentifierType = IdentifierType.UriReportSource;

Hello,

we have an existing and large reporting project which we moved from .NET Framework 4 to .net 8 now (<TargetFramework>net8.0-windows</TargetFramework>). Build the project in Visual Studio is fine and successful.

When I try to open a report of this project in the ReportDesigner by selecting the .cs file I get a dialog in which thje correct Designer und project file is shown. Pressing Finish leads to the following error which I do not understand because the TargetFramework point to a windows plattform:

I want to create a report which includes one section (likes multi-column report) and another section (like one -column report), more detail on the attached file.

After researching, I haven't found the solution yet.

So Could Telerik builds this kind of report??

Thanks!
