I have some text files with japanese text in them and display them on a report.  I have a user function bound to a textbox.  But the text is jibberish... See attachment one.  I set the culture to Japanese and the Language to Japanese.... What am I missing?

Currently, it seems you can only use User Functions that are declared at the current report level.  All of the reports I make extend from a custom "BaseReport" (that itself extends from Telerik.Reporting.Report).  Within this BaseReport class I have static methods that I would like to use as User Functions.

Is there a way (without duplicating code in all my ancestor classes), to use methods in base classes as User Functions?

Hi,

I have this problem with a aria graph, I put it in a panel and set it's margins to 0. In the designer it show perfect (see designer.png) in the silvelight it does not show stretched (see image).

Regards, 

How can I count how many records per group by item.
ex:
group by Category         count Subcategory           
------------------------------------------------------------------
Category1                              2 (sub1,sub2)                                            
Category2                              3 (sub3,sub4,sub5)          

                                                   
Thanks

I need to test some extensive code behind logic for a report I am developing, so I added a Windows form project to my solution that contains the class library with the report in it.  I added the necessary reference to my code library and set the window form as the start up form.  I added the Report Viewer and the correct reference to my report in the Report property.  So far no problem.  When I attempt to generate the report however, I get the following message "An error has occurred while processing Report 'report object name'  Unable to establish connection to the database." etc.  I have verified my database connection.  I have no problem previewing the report from my class library.  It generates just fine but with invalid data, thus the need to single step through my logic.  What am I missing in setting up this testing environment.  thanks in advance.

I've got a Telerik report that was compiling and previewing just fine until I added the most recent data source, a SQL Server view that provides data to several of the crosstabs. The data source itself works fine; when I "configure" it in the Data Source section I can execute the query and return correct results. So I don't know if the data source is the problem, but as soon as I added the data source, changed the formulas and filters in the crosstabs to refer to them (instead of the old data source) and then tried to run the report, I got this error:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "PDS.reports_13monthrollingweb.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "PDS" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed."

I'd be happy to do all that if I knew what it meant. :) How do I make sure the ".resources" file is correctly embedded into the solution ("PDS"), and/or what are satellite assemblies and how do I know if they are loadable and fully signed?

Thanks.

Addendum: Digging around in other reports, I notice they don't have SQL data sources listed in their .resx file. In this report, none of the other SQL data sources are in the .resx file, but the new one is (see attached). Should I just remove it? Why is it appearing there when the others aren't?

Hello Telerik,

I am creating a chart from a SQL datasource.  I have two series that are bound to columns on the datasource.  If I preview the chart, it looks good and the chart matches the data.  My next step is to display my own custom X-Axis labels.  I do this by setting PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = false and create the items manually.  However when I do this and preview the chart, the chart does not look correct (the line does not match the data from the database).

This forum post seems to be related: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet/chart/trouble-with-custom-xaxis-labels.aspx
It suggests that I do not set the xvalue inside my chart series.  However, I am adding the series by binding to a datasource, so I do not see how to make this work in my case.

Here is my code:


Am I doing this totally wrong, or is there a work around?

Thanks, Chris

I have a very simple report of names and departments.  The report has a grouping to print departments and does a page break after a department to start a new one.

Sales
  John Smith
  Mary Jones

Human Resources
  Steve Garcias
  Jeremy Doe

Etc...

However, I'd like the Department Name to print all the way at the very bottom of the page so that every page has its department on the bottom, in the same spot regardless of how many names are on the page (or if the list of names spans several pages each page prints the department name in the same spot).  If I add the department name to the Group Footer, it prints directly after the names and I noticed on the forums you cannot align the group footer to the bottom of the page.  If I put the department in the Page footer, it just prints the first department name on every page. 

This is a simple task in an Access Database Report, but how can I do this in Telerik?

Hi,

I have not been able to have a report display when the business object is located outside the report's class library project.  I have added a reference to the business object's project, and the report designer allows me to set up a data source and view fields in the data explorer, but when I click on preview it says:

Error has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
------------------- InnerException ------------
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

When I move the business object into the report library and hardcode its connection string, then it works.  I notice that the sample app supplied by Telerik also has the business object in the report library.  Is this a necessity, or can the business objects be in another project?

Thanks.
