One of my developers is working on converting a number of existing reports (~100) for a web application. The reports require a consistent layout; logo, font styles, header layout, footer layout, margins, etc.

What we'd like to do is create a report template, then base all reports on that template; it should be possible to make modifications only to the template (or at least only in a single location) and have those changes propagated through all reports. The reports use different data sources, and will vary in terms of grouping levels and content, but we'd like to keep the overall appearance consistent.

Is this possible? If so where do we start?

i would like to be able to create reusable classes / components for things such as page headers and footers so that when later modified all reports automatically change

is there anything already in telerik reporting to support this ?

i played with creating subclasses of for example PageHeaderSection and it does work but i loose the ability to design them visually and also the report designer doesnt show the content of the section allthough the preview in the designer does

thanks

Mike

I am having trouble creating a drill through report. I have gone about it two different ways. First I used the toggle visiblity action to make sub-reports visible within the master report. This works perfectly in the preview but when run in the project fails and says to check the inner exception. The second method was using the navigate to report document action. This also worked in preview but not in the master report and returned the same error message. The error message is within the silverlight report viewer but I cannot find any data from the exception. I simplified my report down to two text boxes that use the toggle visiblity action to hide one text box and it still does not work. Basiclly anytime I use the action event it fails. Has anyone had this problem or am I missing something in my configuration?

We have a web application using reportviewer and on some client sites the application runs without any problems, but on some deployment sites we get an error and the only way for the page to load is remove one line of code (which then means they cannot view the report).

The full error returned is

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection System.Web.HttpResponse.get_Headers()'. at Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.Utils.get_IsClassicPipelineMode() at Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.ReportViewer.CheckHttpHandlerRegistrations() at Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.ReportViewer.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
 
If I remove this line the page loads

 

<telerik:ReportViewer style="z-index:1000" ID="ReportViewer1" Width="990px" Height="1050px" runat="server" ShowDocumentMapButton="False" ShowHistoryButtons="False" ShowZoomSelect="True" Skin="WebBlue" Visible="false" BackColor="White" BorderColor="White" ForeColor="White"></telerik:ReportViewer>

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am creating a report based on a complex XML document. The XML document contains several nested child hierarchies which mostly seem to work fine using subreports

One thing i am trying to figure out is the following

say the XML doc looks like this

<root>
     <childinroot>
           <field1>ffdfd</field1>
           <field2>ffdfd</field2>
           <field3>ffdfd</field3>

           <childinchild>
                <grandchild>value</grandchild>
           </childinchild>

     </childinroot>
</root>

if i create a datasource i can access the fields (field1, field2, ..) in the report but is there any way to get to the grandchild field without having to use subreports ?

thanks

Mike

Hello,

I'm a brand new Telerik Reporting user working on a WPF/Entity Framework project which will eventually have ~250 reports.  We're using VS 2010 with the latest Telerik Reporting release.  I'm researching how to best set up the report architecture for easiest maintenance, most reuse, and fastest speed when developing and testing reports.  So far, we've created a BaseReport which inherits from Telerik.Reporting.Report and contains StyleSheet rules, methods to programmatically create Report and Page Headers/Footers, and other multi-purpose user-defined functions.  Any other report will inherit from the BaseReport.  This approach is seems workable for the most part, but I'd greatly appreciate input about a couple questions:

1. General Design: Does anyone see issues with our approach?  Is there a better way to achieve the goals above?

2. StyleSheets: I'd like to utilize the BaseReport's StyleSheet directly, assuming it should be available via inheritance, but the styles defined in the BaseReport don't seem to be recognized in the reports which inherit from BaseReport.  I understand an ExternalStyleSheet can be utilized.  However, this is less than ideal because I believe the ExternalStyleSheet needs to be manually added to each new report.  Also, the styles aren't visible in the "StyleSheet" property.  Whatever the solution is, we need to make sure that later changes to the global StyleSheet will be reflected in previously existing reports. 

3. VS Template: When I create a new report using the Telerik Reporting Template in VS, there are a number of changes I need to make each time.  Can the VS Template be modified to avoid this repetition or is there another recommended technique?

Thanks much!!
