Initial Reporting Configuration for Web Server

Hi,

I am new to the tool, and need some help.

My application environment is ASP.NET 2.0 for a website.

Adding files to the bin folder:

- I have placed 3 dlls in the folder (Telerik.Reporting.dll, Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll, and LandWatchReport.dll

- The last listed file is generated in the bin of the class project that produced a report that I could run on the local machine.

Creating References

- Question: While I can create a reference to the LandWatchReport.dll, I am unable to Add Reference to the Telerik dlls - the add dialogue works, they just don't show up being added. Is this a problem?

- Question: The support website shows a References Node in the Visual Studio instance. I do not know how to reveal the References Node in the Solution Explorer.

Creating Initial Report View

- I created a new web form and inserted the report viewer object.

- Now, it is unclear how I point the report viewer to the dll associated with the LandWatchReport.dll.

- It is unclear how I make reference to a report name within that dll. (it make reference to identifying assemblies, but I don't have assemblies)

I will have more questions, but hopefully someone can indulge me on these rather basic topics to get going.

Thanks.

Summarizing Group Data (Newbie question!)

I'm just learning Telerik and am fairly new with C# and VS as well, so my apologizes for how simple a question this must be.

I have two tables: Order_Header and Order_Details. Every order has a single entry in Order_Header and multiple entries in Order_Details (one for each product purchased).

Order_Header: [OrderID], [OrderDate], [OrderNumber], [Taxes], [ShippingCost], [OrderTotal], [GST], [PST], [HST]
Order_Details: [DetailID], [OrderID] (ref Order_header), [ProductID], [Quantity], [SellingPrice]

My report is grouped by [Order_Header].[OrderNumber] (unique to each individual order).

The Group Header shows [Order_Header].[OrderNumber], [Order_Header].[ShippingCost], .[GST], .[PST], .[HST]

The report details shows [Order_Details].[ProductID], [Order_Details].[Quantity], [Order_Details].[SellingPrice]

Ideally the report footer will summarize Quantity, Selling Price, ShippingCost, GST, PST, HST

My challenge is this: If i do SUM(ShippingCost) in the report footer, it sums it once per every item in Order_Details, rather than once per Order_Header. Is there a solution to this? Sum by group or somesuch? I'm also not above accumulating a variable in the codebehind if someone is kind enough to explain how.

Thanks!

P.S. Windows 7, Visual Studio 2008, Telerik Reporting Q1 2010, and Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari/IE for browser

Reporting Parameters but default to all

I'm new to Telerik Reporting and I have a report that using parameters and it works great. Now I need to figure out or find an example of how to default the report to show all the data and allow users to filter down the data by using the parameters. I have 3 paramters but I don't want to force the users to use all 3 parameters. Any help would be much appreciated.

Run time Sorting

Hello,

A table created in a report has a sorting property. When I click on the smart link button, the screen opens up where I can choose different columns of the table and their direction(ASC or DESC).

My question is can I access these 2 properties(Expression and Direction) at run time.
When I write in my code "table1.Sorting." it doesn't give me any and expression or direction field.
Please suggest,

Thanks

[Solved] Using Telerik Reporting in a WebSite

I am new to Telerik and trying to create a report to use in a ASP.Net Website using VS 2008. After "Add New Item" > "Telerik Report Q1 2010", and then Run the wizard to pull data from a SQL database, and set up the report in the Designer tab, I can not see any results in the Preview or Html Preview. Note for some reason the report wants to be in the App_Code folder, not sure if that means anything or why it wants to be in that folder. I also tried to make a page with a report viewer on it to see if it can desplay the results, and found that the report view can't even find an associated report in the project. Any help you could give would be great.

Adjusting the location of a control at runtime

Hi,

I have panel. At design time, Panel1.Location.X is 9.23cm. At run time i want to change it to 0.03cm. here is the code.

Panel1.Location.X.Add(

new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.03, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Cm));

But i don't see it gets changed. I've another panel at Location.X = 0.03cm which is made invisible at runtime. Is there anyway to change the location of control at run time?

Thanks in advance.

Report Generation takes 30mins

Hi There,

We have a desktop application using Telerik Reporting Q2 2009 SP1. We generate a PDF report and write it to disk. This process usually takes between 5 - 15 seconds depending on the report being generated (there are a number). We have 1 customer though who is running our application on Windows XP Pro SP3 and when they try to generate a report it takes up to 30mins!!! During this time 1 cpu of their Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz processor (4GB RAM) is maxed out to 100%. The report will eventually successfully generate and be written to disk, but it's just very strange behaviour.

The particular report in question has a cover page, 2 sub-reports, a bar graph with 5 bars, and a small number of text bound fields. We are using the NeedDataSource to dynamically hook up the datasource for the report. The time it takes for this method to run under normal conditions is approx. 4-6secs. This is still the same on the customers computer too. It is the Report Rendering after databinding that takes the remainder of the time.

We have not had any other customers report this behaviour and I am unable to replicate it for testing/debugging purposes. Is there any way I can turn on verbose logging in the telerik engine via a setting in the App.config file that will write a log file somewhere that might show what is happening during the report generation? We are running on .Net v2.0 (no 3.0 or 3.5 stuff at all).

thanks

Stuart
