I can not get a report with a dataset datasource to preview with data.  Here is the recipe that shows my problem.

  1. Create Solution & Create Class Project
  2. Add DataSet (XSD) to Project
  3. Add one table adapter with simple SQL (SELECT Field1 FROM Table1) to the DataSet - make sure it returns data
  4. Add Telerik Report 2.0 to Project
  5. Add a text box with a value of [=Fields.Field1]
  6. Drag a Toolbox DataSet to the Report, select the typed dataset from step 2
  7. In the report's properties, select the report's data source instance
  8. Also in the report's properties select the table adapter from step 3
  9. save
  10. look at the data explorer to make sure the report knows about your data - verify that Field1 appears properly.
  11. Click preview or preview HTML and see no data.
  12. Sigh
  13. Remove datasource and datamember properties from report & delete the dataset from the report
  14. Drag a Toolbox SqlDataAdapter to the report & enter the same SQL used in step 3
  15. In the report properties, selecte the report's data source instance
  16. save
  17. click preview or preview HTML and see the data

I am a fairly new user.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I'm using the same reports/charts to display in both Web pages and in WinForms.  In the web pages the reportviewer displays the report with no margins in a 7-inch wide by 4-inch tall display.  On printing, these print nicely with margins as set in the PageSettings properties.

Whereas, in my WinForm pages, the reportviewer displays the report in "page" mode with the PageSettings margins.  So there is a long vertical scroll bar with the lower 60% of the "page" blank.  Is there any way to get the WinForm reportviewer to display compactly with no margins and no vertical scroll bar, like the web pages do?

DataTable dt = "DataTable with some data";
TrackTime tt = TrackTime();  //Master report with subreport 'SubTrackTime'
if (dt != null)
{
       Telerik.Reporting.SubReport subReport = tt.Items.Find("subReport", true)[0] as Telerik.Reporting.SubReport;
       SubTrackTime stt = (SubTrackTime)subReport.ReportSource;
       Telerik.Reporting.Table tbl2 = stt.Items.Find("detailTable", true)[0] as Telerik.Reporting.Table;
        tbl2.DataSource = "DataTable with some data";
        Telerik.Reporting.Table tbl = tt.Items.Find("timeTable", true)[0] as Telerik.Reporting.Table;
         tbl.DataSource = dt;
         rvTimeTrack.Report = tt; //rvTimeTrack - reportViewer
}
This code is codebehind of *.aspx. The master report with table "timeTable" shows up, but the subreport doesn't. Why? What I do wrong?

See Image,  Spacing is tight in designer but then spreads out in viewer.

When building expressions in the designer and there is a null string the resulting string is null

type = null
size = "5x5x1/2"
length = "5 feet"

expression
=Fields.type + " " + Fields.size + " " + Fields.grade

resulting value is null in report textbox

It sure would be nice to Directly support string.Format(string, params object[] items) in expressions.
My guess is the params is not easily translated. from an expression.

Good morning all.  I guess this is what I get for staying up until 1 am working on reports!  I came into work this morning and was "cleaning up" my old reports, and deleted this file!  Now NOT ONE of my reports work!  Am I foo-barred?  Please say no?  When I open a report I can see my DataSource name, but it won't run.  I get this error: ClassLibrary.DataSetTableAdapters.DataSetTableAdapter' is not defined.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi

I have a problem with my Silverlight application.
I'm using reporting telerik Q3 2010 and silverlight 4.
My solution is composed by:
  A project for the dll of the reports.
  A project for the Silverlight application, which has the report viewer.
  And the website that hosts the silverlight application.

When I deploy the web project on a web server , the reports don't display the charts

thanks in advance

Unfortunately when exporting to XLS the accurate report layout is not guaranteed. For example row and column spacing can be inconsistent with what you see in the report viewer.

The problem was already reported and Telerik accepted it but nothing could do to address the issue.

Our application handles this problem by running the VBScript for resizing the spreadsheet rows after the exporting. This works reasonable fine if exporting is done programatically (after RenderReport returns):
ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport(type, (IReportDocument)report, null);
    
But how to detect export completion and the exported file name if the report was exported by clicking the export button on the ReportViewer toolbar. I cannot find any appropriate event in ReportViewer for this.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I had telerik installed (Telerik_Reporting_Q3_2010_v4_2_10_1221_dev) and generating reports just fine until i upgraded it with the latest telerik internal build (01059Telerik_Reporting_4_2_11_204_DEV). The new version had some designer issues so I un-installed it completely and installed the default mentioned version(which was working just fine for me till now).

 Now whenever i generate a report i get a following error message in the report viewer. I re-installed the telerik several times but no luck.

Error message
An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception details.

What can i do to fix this?

Please let me know. Thanks.
