Drill down- in the form of table

Hello,
I am new to telerik reporting. Is it possible to present the data in drill down manner in the form of table/grid
I have gone through the samples, but I found only using the Chart control present in the RadControls for ASP.Net AJAX.
I mean do we have to only use chart controls or grid controls from ASP.Net ajax.
Any sample pls.
Thank you

Drilldown functionality

I was a bit dissapointed to find drilldown functionality still not available in 2009 Q1.

I'm about to start a huge reporting project that requires a lot of drilldown functionality and would like to know if you have plans to include drilldowns this year or whether I need to find alternatives for this project. Are there workarounds to simulate drilldowns using Reporting?

Why not IEnumerable as Datasource on ObjectDataSource?

Why can't I connect an object that implements IEnumerable as a DataSource on an ObjectDataSource? The following class is allowed:

public class MyClass

{

private int test;

public int Test

{

get { return test; }

set { test = value; }

}

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()

{

return null;

}

but if I add ": IEnumerable" after "MyClass", the Data Explorer on the report only displays the message "No Data Source"

I'm using Telerik Reporting 2010 Q2 SP1 (4.1.10.921)

BTW: My real class returns an enumerator from GetEnumerator(), that is not the problem...

Sverre

public class MyClass

{

private int test;

public int Test

{

get { return test; }

set { test = value; }

}

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()

{

return null;

}

Copies of Report

I'm evaluating the component and everything seems to be working perfectly but there is one thing i want to do and i cant find a way.

I have a report that generates only 1 page (wich is correct) but i need to print 3 copies and put in the report the number of each copy (1,2,3) or "original, duplicate, triplicate) ...

How can we achieve this?

thanks,

Joaquim

Error while displaying unvalidated Html tags in HTMLTextbox

Hi,

I have a Windows application which uses the Telerik Reporting for displaying reports.

The Windows application has many comment fields (contains rich text - data copied from Word, Exel, PDF).
The comments data could contain Chinese, European, Indian etc alphabets.
Styles like Font change, Bold, italics, highlights can be applied to the comment fields

4. The data is stored in the Access Database

Issues are as follows:

When these comment fields are to be displayed in the Reports--> HTMLTextBox, (since richtext htmlTextbox is used) error occurs as the HtmlTextBox is unable to identify the html tags (mostly generated by Word, Excel and Pdf).

Steps Followed

Place the HTMLTextbox controls in the detail section of the Reports
HTMLTextBox --> Properties --> Value --> Bind the Comment field from the database to the control
Properties -- > Change the Font to Arial Unicode MS to accept other language characters
Build report.
This report is called from the Windows Application.

Please find attached a sample HTML generated from the Word and the error occured.

Please note..
When these Html generated tags is directly copied into the Design View of Editor properties of the [HTMLTextBox--> Value ]
and switch back to HTML mode, they are displayed fine when you Preview from the Report project (like harcoding) . I have noticed that the Design view of the Editor Properties validates the HTML to proper Html tags. But the HTMLTextBox as such fails to do the same.

The reports needed for the application is dynamic data.

Please need a solution to this..

Thanks
Shalini

ReportBook not showing in ReportViewer

I hope I haven't missed a post, but somehow I can't get the reportbook (Q2-2010) working. I've got the following code:

srMTO.MTOwsSoapClient soaplink = new

srMTO.MTOwsSoapClient();

dsCompleteQuestionnaire1 = soaplink.GetCompleteQuestionnaire( QuestionnaireId );

Telerik.Reporting.Report QuestionnaireReport =

new reports

.rap_CompleteQuestionnaire();

QuestionnaireReport.DataSource = dsCompleteQuestionnaire1;

QuestionnaireReport.DataMember =

"CompleteQuestionnaire"

;

ReportBook QuestionnaireBook =

new

ReportBook();

//QuestionnaireBook.Reports.Add( new Rapporten.rap_CompleteQuestionnaire_Front() )

QuestionnaireBook.Reports.Add( QuestionnaireReport );

reportForm.SelectedReportBook = QuestionnaireBook;

(last two lines are in reality not commented)

and the other form (reportForm with the ReportViewer):

Telerik.Reporting.ReportBook report = SelectedReportBook;

this

.reportViewer1.Report = report;

this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

I had it working for the QuestionnaireReport (the same way), but realized I needed a front page. So I needed the ReportBook. But the content is just not showing. Neither with just the QuestionnaireReport.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

PS. I know that the DataMember of the report is obsolete, but attaching it to the objectdatasource this way is not working (for me).

LINQ and Reports

Hello,

I am fairly new to using Telerik Reports and was wondering if it is at all possible to use LINQ as a DataSource for these reports. My end goal is to call an IQueryable Function, while passing in a Username and Time Period to generate the Report for that User.

public static IQueryable GetUserReport(int UserID, string Period)

{

DataContext Data = new DataContext();

var Reports = (from c in Data.UserInfo

where c.UserID == UserID && c.Period == Period

orderby c.UserID ascending

select c);

return Reports;

}

I have tried using SQL DataSources in my Reports, but would prefer to use LINQ if at all possible. Do Telerik Reports support the use of LINQ, or am I spinning my wheels on this one?

EDIT: Note, I am currently using what I believe is the newest version:
Telerik Reports: 2010.3 1110
RadControls for ASP.NET + AJAX: 2010.3 1109

Best Regards,

Landon

transparency on image export ?

Hi,

we're still evaluating Telerik Reporting, especially the Silverlight components.

One problem we've found so far is, that it seems the image export does not obviously support transparent background colors.
Currently we tried the TIFF-Export using the Silverlight Report Viewer and the API of the rendering engine itself, both without luck.

What did we miss to get transparent background images (preferrably in PNG format) using the server side API ? Examples would be very appreciated ;)

Thank you so far and kind regards

Sebastian
