Hi. 
I am using Telerik Reporting Q3 2010.  I am trying to create my first basic report and am following the instructions as per;
http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/quick-start-create-simple-report.htmlI create a class library
  • I add a new Telerik report.  The wizard fires up
  • I get to the point where I create a new datasource.
  • When I click the "Add New DataSource ..." button on the Choose Data Source step of the report wizard - and then select "SQL datasource", I get the following error;
"Object Reference not set to an instance of an object".

Thing is, when I was using the demo version I had no such worries.  This morning I uninstalled that version and then installed a purchased version.  It installed OK.  I removed the previous class library project that used the demo version references and have created a new library prior to creating the report.

Anyone seen this problem or have a suggestion?

thanks Ritchie

I need to print legal contracts.  What support for RTF on the reports will be available? I need to format text left/right/full justification, underline some word, bold some words all in the same text box.

As an alternative I could use a PDF file as a background image.  The PDF file will have all of the formated text and lines, etc.

Thanks,
John

I have a master report with a subreport in the detail section.  On my master report I have a background image that fills the page.  If my subreport does not fill an entire page the bacground image stops where the subreport stops and the rest of the page is white.  What can I do to fix this?  I tried adding a report footer to force the page to finish priting but that doesn't fix the problem.

Hi!
There is support for localization of reports serialized on xml files? How it works? 
For instance serializing a report we have obtained the following xml extract:

<TextBox Value="Cliente: " >

where the value of label textbox is built-in in the xml in one only culture. There is any way to have something like a link to a resource like report in compiled mode?

We have found the following fix in the last release:

<<<
What's Fixed in Telerik Reporting Q3 2010 SP1 (v4.2.10.1221)
Report Model
Fixed: XML report serialization should be culture agnostic
>>>

what that means? We can't find other information about it.

Thanks

Is there any way that I can force my web app's ReportViewer (or the report itself) to put everything on one page?

(Other than by setting a mile-long paper size?)

You state in another identically titled thread that there was a bug in Q3 2010 with multivalue parameters and that there was an internal build available that addresses it.  Can you please  make this available to  myself.  I have just spent a very frustrating day getting your earlier workaround (involving a user function) up and running and a fix would be infinitely preferable than trying to get that working again.

thanks

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.
