When trying to have a report with a column count, I'm unable to change the widths of the columns.  For example, I have a report that needs to be split into 3 columns.  This report needs to have all 3 left justified right next to each other.  The columns must have a width of 2.5in.  I've set the column width to 2.5in with 3 columns, but it never goes under ~3.5in.  How can this be resolved?  It's causing too much white space between the columns.

The best way to describe the kind of report I must produce is to imagine having to create a report that displays a blog entry.

The report header would need to show the author, date and most importantly the body of the blog entry. For this reason, I need the report header to automatically grow (the header, not just the field Furthermore, if it’s large enough, the reporting system needs to page it.

Secondly, I need to display all the comments in the item detail. Comments can be rather long themselves, so they produce the same questions as above. 

Is this possible with the reporting system?

I have an invoicing processing that loops through and generates multiple (200-300) reports.  My report is a main report that contains 5 subreports.  My main report has 3 different background images, one on the Report Header, one on an unbound group header and then one for the Report (which displays for every page but the report header and the 1st group header).  Each image is a png file that fills a 8x11 page.

Currently I create a new report object for each invoice.  I have a shared ReportProcessor that I use to get each report as a pdf file in a memory stream and then store the document in the database.  Then I either email or fax the memory stream OR print the original report object.  I ran into problems last month where after 10-20 report I got an Argument exception and it mentioned the BackgroundImage property.  Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact error or reproduce it without printing all the reports.

Any ideas or suggestions?  Can I share a report processor like that?  Should I recreate the report each time?  I will try and re-generate the error by pausing the print queue and letting the code go through the steps.

Example code:
   

In the silverlight report viewer, when you print and click on "Current Page" (in the "Print Range") it always prints page number one no matter what page you are on. Typing the Page number in the "Pages" selection of "Print Range" works fine (as a work around).

Is there a way to use values from the main web app settings file.

I have a web and separate class files for the reporting, the web imports the reporting class.

I want to dynamicly change the logo on a report base on the value in the web appsettings.

This is how I would do it in the web:

Me

 

.imgLogo.Value = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("TrustLogo")

But this currently doesn't work from the reporting class.

Hi,

I have added a hyperlink action to a column in my report.  Is there a way to configure the action to open the link in a new browser tab or window?  Right now, it appears to open the link in the same browser tab as the report viewer.

Thanks,

Rob

Hello,

Is there a way to use Telerik Reporting to convert HTML to PDF and/or RTF? We're using other Telerik tools - like the Editor in asp mvc - which produce nice HTML, but now we need to output that content to a printable format. abcPDF comes to mind, but we'd prefer to use our existing Telerik tools.

Thanks!

Hi...

I have y-axis labels populated from the database and my chart is bound to one of the SQL data source field. The problem is my value labels that are populated from the database field are not fully shown. I would like to set plot area property that would change the width between the left chart margin and left plot area margin(de facto,area where labels are written.) Also, if a label is too wide to fit i would like to break in new line, and adjusting the content of the chart.For example, if my label value is "Who let the dog out" and it doesnt fit in one row, i would like it to be shown as :

Who let
the dog out

 I have attached the example as well.I would like to achieve through designer properties setting, instead of programmatically setting the values.

Hello.

Lets say you have a report for an Invoice.

You programmatically instantiate the report and set its Datasource to a Invoice object.

The invoice has properties like number, adress, whatever. But it also has a list of InvoiceLines.

Can the "Main" report have an invoice object as DataSource, and then have a subreport in the details-section that is bound to the List of Invoice lines?

EDIT: This is all done programatically, to be able to create a pdf. :)

Hi

I am trying to catch an exception that is being thrown in the Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.ReportViewerModel. 

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

While I could handle the error at the application  level, I would like to handle the error closer to the source. The ReportViewModel does not expose any interesting methods to override, and the ReportViewer.Error event does not pick up what is basically a system level error ("The specified printer has been deleted").

Where should I catch this kind of error?

Many thanks
