I am using the Reporting tutorial and am having a problem after creating the first two steps in the solution.  The example uses the Adventureworks SQL database.  I have created a Class Library that contains a Telerik Report.  It previews just fine and contains the full data from the database.

Then I created a VB Windows App as part of the solution with a Telerik ReportViewer to view this sample report.  Everything setup the way the tutorial showed, but when I ran the solution (the Windows App is the startup project), I receive a long red, error message about not being able to connect to the database.  See the attached file named reportquestion1.gif .

The VIsual Studio 2010 window is captured in reportlquestion2.gif .

Why does the report preview just fine with the data from the database, but then will not run when part of the whole solution?  The same connection string is in the report definition.  So why can't it make the connection?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am evaluating the Reporting module and cannot get the report wizard to work with Advantage Database Server.

I set up the  ADS .NET Provider connection string but when it goes to retrieve the tables info, it just comes up the a message box which says 'Advantage.Data.Provider'.

I am using Q1 2010 trial.

I am planning on using the RichTextBox feature of Silverlight 4, and will be storing the contents of the RichTextBox in my database.  Can the current version of the Silverlight ReportViewer and Telerik reporting handle the RichTextBox contents when displaying/printing?

Hi

In CrystalReport,we can save a data bounded report to rpt file, then we can use a viewer to load that file to show that report in other computer.
Is there any similar way to do this in Telerik Reporting?

Hey there.

Just got another little problem and a question.

I've designed a kind of catlogue.
My catalogue is grouped by manufacturer.
The report itself has two columns.
Now i want to print in the page footer the current manufacturer logo.
I've figured out, that this is not possible (page footer) so i thougt i maybe can print in the group footer.
this would work fine but the group footer is only shown half the page width because of the second column i think.

How can i solve this?

Now to my question:
In Microsoft Access for example i can set the column-fill-direction. (straight, zig zag...)
Is this possible with telerik too?

We have recently converted many of our reports to use the new Telerik reporting and Web Viewer.  While most of these reports are running fine, there are some time-out issues we are running into.  The issues deal with the amount of data being renderred on the report and the values returned.  I have checked and the Stored Procedure getting the data is returning in just a few seconds, so the issue is not with data retrieval from the database.  What I am seeing is the following:

• Select the report we want to view.  This makes the postback call to the server to retrieve the data.
• The page returns from the postback, and the ReportViewer has the 'processing' icon displayed inside the content area.
• This 'processing' continues for a minute or so and then times out while trying to render the report.

I know the report being displayed contains a lot of data.  Is there any way to set the viewer to have additional properties to allow it to process longer?  Is it actually making an additonal postback or AJAX call to the server after the initial postback to generate the actual report or is that done on the client?  Are there other settings we can use to speed up rendering if there is a lot of data being returned?

Thanks.

I am curious to know how to programmatically set the the size of a table column. 

What I want to do is if a parameter is true then I want set that coumn size to zero so that it doesn't show on the report.  I've done this manually in the report with the properties but I am having problems figuring how how to do it in code.

I'm new to this great product and i am wondering if it is posible to fill a report and print it from codebehind.

We use webforms. I am thinking to create a order, then add the end of the order on "Make Order". The user has selected a outputtype. This can be email, print, ... . When he selects print i would like to fill in the report template that we can make with this report tool and send to a printer. Basicly send the pdf that the telerik reporting viewer can make. But i don't need the report viewer on this webform. I just wanne use its functionality to fill in the template and print a pdf file.

Thanks :)
