Hello, we have reports defined in our primary web site project, in the web.config for that project are connection strings are specified in a seperate file using the configSource attribute, for example:

<connectionStrings configSource="Config\connectionStrings.local.config" />

This works fine at runtime, the report displays the correct data, however at design time the data explorer and preview return an error that indicate it can not find the connection string.  It is the standard "Unable to establish a connection to the database."

If the web.config is changed to include the connection string directly in the same file then the preview and data explorer work correctly.  
Is there some way to get the reporting designer capabilities to work with connection strings specified with a configSource?

I should mention that we are using the name of the connection string on the data source.

Thanks
Joe

Hi there,

Can Telerik reporting convert tool convert from Crystal Report 8 .rpt files to SQL reporting .rdl files.

Cheers,

I have many reports built in a prior version of Telerik Reporting, and have since upgraded to Q2 2010.  In trying to build a new report I am having a problem with specifying the DataSource for the chart as well as the chart's report parameters.

I have several existing DataSources defined in the project, but in my new report when I click on the pulldown button for DataSource, none of these existing DataSources are available for selecting.  The Current Data Sources and Project Data Sources lists are empty.

Not sure what I might be doing wrong.

Hi, I need make report for job sheduler. I made crosstab with rows - users and columns - days/daypart(am, pm). in each cell i need subreport for show list of activities.
If i make this report without split by daypart (rows - users and columns - days) then all worked correctly. subreport executed for each days, but if i add daypart as second group of crosstab then subreport executed only two times (am, pm) only for first day and in all cells for each date shown first date data .

I trying use List instead Subreport... dont worked too.
How i can fix this?

I use latest version of reporting (4.2.11.204)

Dear support team,

i start using for the first time Telerik Report. When i make my first publish in the server (IIS 7.5) i get the following error:

Can you please help me because i cannot access my page from the server. From my dev pc, is working fine.

Hi,

 
  While searching through forums, i got to know that  it  does not support 3D chart types and
 For real 3D charts we can use  RadChart for Silverlight.

i created charts like bar, pie  by using telerik reporting tool.
but i need to create one  3D chart for my project.

How can we embed the 3D chart in Telerik reporting tool as like other charts.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions

please send me any link/ information ragarding this as soon as possible.This is one of the requirement for my client.

I'm building an executive summary report that uses a single group. I only need a summary, so the Details section is hidden, and I only populate the group header and footer with aggregate data (see the reportdesigner.png attachment).  I have brute-forced a solution by manually computing my summary values, the first page of the resulting report is in the reportcapture.png attachment.

The problem is that I will be doing a similar report that is organized the same way, but given it will be generating charts from the details rather than just computing summary information, my current code-behind brute-force solution likely won't work as well.  And I'm thinking that I shouldn't have had to brute-force it in the first place.

The background is that I have a set of Entity-Data Framework objects projected from a simple SQL database.  The two tables in question are a table of Circuits (mapped to Circuit objects in C#), and a master table of logged voltage/power entries.  Each power entry was measured by a meter (and has a relation to yet another table of Meters) and was of course measured from a specific Circuit. 

EDF has projected an ObjectSet of Circuits, which is my DataSource for the report.  Within each Circuit object, EDF made me a Navigation Property called LoggedACMeterDatas.  I group the report based on the Circuit.id (the table key).  So each group header has as its "focus" a specific Circuit.  Hence the "Fields.Name" and "Fields.Circuit.Location.Name" resolve to the correct thing on a single Circuit object.

The problem is now I want to access the LoggedACMeterDatas (an EntityCollection that is projected from a Foreign-Key Relation), in order to fill in some summary information in the report.  For example, the "Period Start" and "Period End" are the earliest and latest timestamp in the LoggedACMeterDatas .  The power summary fields are each an average of a specific field across all the LoggedACMeterDatas for the current Circuit in the grouping.

I would have liked to build an Expression along the lines of Min(Fields.LoggedACMeterDatas.Timestamp) for the Period Start.  After all, specifying Fields.Name in the group header (which in the context of the entire report is a collection, but in the context of the group is a scalar) seems to do the right thing.  But I could find no way to do that with field that is an EntityCollection.  Similarly, for the power summaries, something like Avg(Fields.LoggedACMeterDatas.VoltagePhase1) to get an average of all the VoltagePhase1 members of the sub-collection.  In short, I can specify Fields.LoggedACMeterDatas in an Expression, but there seems to be precious little I can do with it.

So my brute-force was to add the following properties to the Circuit class, essentially doing the above in code-behind, where I can do something useful with the LoggedACMeterDatas member:

So as I said above, the brute-force workaround is ok in this case, but it seems like I should have been able to do all this in the realm of the report.  Secondly, I don't see how I'm going to be able to build a Chart instead of a table of scalar averages---I'm going to need some mechanism by which I can hand off the EntityCollection to the Chart.  But I don't see how I can do that.

Any help appreciated...

Hi,

How can I use UDFs in subreport?  The same function works great in main report, however, it throws error when I use it in subreport.

An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'textBox8':The expression contains undefined function call FormatNos().

In main report, I just use FormatNos(...).  For subreport, the same function is called like <classname>.FormatNos() - I did select them from expression edition by expanding "User functions" - so no typo here.

Would I need to duplicate the functions in all subreport classes?
