Hi.

I'll try to explain the scenario as good as I possibly can.

We have a wysiwyg "editor" in Silverlight where you can build an invoice.

In the footer we have a <WrapPanel Orientation="Vertical"/>. This WrapPanel has an itemsource of List<FooterPart>. The FooterPart object contains a title(going to be viewed as bold) and a body that can contain more than one line.

Please look at the attached picture. The WrapPanel will place the parts in such a way that if the parts only have a body consisting of one line, two of them can exist in the same column, if not, only one part will exist in the column.

Now the problem is, I need to achieve a somewhat similar effect in the report footer. The report footer will have access to this List<FooterPart> and in some way I need to be able to render the parts in the same way I do in Silverlight using the Wrappanel.

Are there any somewhat easy ways of achieving this? I've also created a support ticket on this about 3 days ago but seeing as it's not an easy question I haven't gotten an answer.

Maybe someone else have had a similar problem. So please share your thoughts and, if any, solutions. :-)

Have a nice day,
E.

Dear madam/sir,

We are generating a full catalogue with the telerik reporting system. There is one disadvantage: we cannot place an index or table of content on the top of the catalogue/report.
In the demos online we see an index on the left side of the report. That works fine, but you can't print it for visitors or customers. The full catalogue will take about 130 pages.
Do you have experience with something like indexing on top of the report? What can i do that it will work?
Thanks in advance.

Regards, Bart Nijssen - Infodatek

Could anyone explain which keys to hold down for selecting multiple controls on a report - shift/control/alt etc.

Also there doesn't seem to be an 'Undo' for moving controls around on a report - am I missing something?

Thanks.

I'm a bit confused in what is currently possible and not possible with the ReportViewer and Silverlight in regards to localization.
Searching through the forums you'll get a mixture of very old and new threads and I'm having a hard time finding out what I actually can do right now. Also the release notes for the latest version confuse me.

In the release notes for Telerik Reporting Q2 2010 SP1 (v4.1.10.921).
There's an entry in the Silverlight Report Viewer section that says:

"Fixed: Cannot localize a Report through the Localizable property."

Still there's a entry in the PITS:
"Issue ID 355 - Cannot localize a Report using the Localizable property"
(http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/reporting/355)

which to me sounds similar to the one fixed in the current release but the entry in the PITS still says its status is open and that it's not scheduled for a specific verison yet. If they are not the same can you please explain their differences.

I've managed to somewhat localize my reports by setting the Localizable property to True and adding the resx files for the languages that I need. There's also a Culture property on the Report class which let's you specify the format for dates, currency etc. but this property is not controlling the localized texts which still needs Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture property. And setting that property affects all reports in the current renderingprocess. Are you planning to extend the Culture feature to also apply to the UICulture in such way that you can set the report language per report?

I'm currently trying to use the ReportBook to display a bunch of invoices to ease batch printing etc.
And what I ultimately would like to do is for each report in my ReportBook specify the culture it will use when rendering and this would be based on the language settings of the customer recieving the invoice and not the on UICulture using my application.

Will anything in this area change with the next release when you move to Silverlight 4?

Hello!

Is there a way I can tell the report engine NOT to generate pages? I like to merge a report image to email content (not as an attachment). So far I tried this:

1. JPEG has only One page
2. TIFF has separate pages but email clients are not able to page
3. MHTHL is great but I could not find a way to merge this format to ASP MailMessage (only html)

Any idea how I can reach my goal?

Thanks

Hi, 

I have created a report that groups by the company numbers and set the pagebreak after each group at the groupfooter .  I am just wondering if it is possible to add an extra page (cover page) before each group that could show the company number and company name.  

Thank you


update:  Never mind.. I got it.

Hello,

I have a report that has 2 groups.  First group is By Week, second group is By Day.  I set up the report with 7 columns, 1 for each day of the week.  So, for 1 page it is grouped for that 1 week and each column displays results for each day of that week.

The report works however, when a column overflows, it wraps to the next column thus throwing off the mon-sun (7) column structure per page.  I have PageBreak set to After for the PerDay Group Section footer.  For the PerDay group itself, I have GroupKeepTogether to None.  I've tried changing this and it still does not work.  I would like when a column is too large for that page that it goes to the next page with the same grouping.

I can't seem to figure out how to restrain the columns from wrapping on the same page.  I've read that GroupKeepTogether would take care of this but it doesnt seem to work.

Please help, I've been at this for awhile now and still no luck.

Thanks in advance!!

There's plenty of tutorial out there that explains how to use the report designer, but not much about how to display a report on a webform once it's designed.  Does anybody know of any tutorial that covers use of the ReportViewer?
