Hi,

I am interested in purchasing the reporting solution you have. But there is one feature that I really want and I need to ask before I start evaluating your product.
My customers always want their reports changed, I don't want to bother the programmers with this changes, what I would like is a tool that allows me to edit the reports server side and deploy them. Do you have such a tool ?

Thank you,
Calin

Hi,

We have reports in our project which were written in Telrik Reporting Q1 2009. While assigning a DataSource to a report we used to use an entity as a source as:
rpt.DataSource = my_entity; 

And in the report I have TextBox with the value "=Fields.my_entity.FirstProperty".

This used to work well until I have upgraded to Telerik Reporting Q1 2010. Now when I set the value as "=Fields.SomeValue" it works fine. But I can not use any property of the "SomeValue".

Did Telerik remove the lazy loading of the entity properties, or could I fix it with a minor touch of code?

Regards.

Hi, I have a class library of about 60 reports which are in vb. I'd would prefer the reports in a c# library, the .vb files are easy enough as there's not too much code but unsure about the designer.vb files...any easy way to convert them?  If not, it's not a problem.

cheers

Hi, I am new to Telerik reporting and trying to figure out how to print multiple pages in a report. Right now if i click the print button on the Reportviewer it only prints the first page. Is there anything that should be done to print all the pages?

Hi,

We have upgraded Telerik reporting version to Q1 2010 from Q2 2009. Report rendering performance is very good. But, one of our report suddenly giving error like "An error has occurred while processing Table 'tblControl': Grouping expression should not contain aggregate functions.".  The same report is working well in Q2 2009 version. We are using 'Table control' in report.

1st Row  - Header
2nd Row - Detail
3rd Row - Footer (here is our Total field we placed  ie. Sum(SalaryField))

What is the cause of this problem?

When installing the latest release I get a 'failed to connect' error (attached).  I have sql 2008 installed.  I've disabled express and have chosen '(local)' as the option.  It gets to the point of 'Executing SQL Scripts' and @ that point fails. All permissions are correct for account, SQL is running (I verifyed using Management Studio), Q3 2009 installed just last week (with no issues). 

Anything I can check?

Hi All,

I'm quite new to telerik reporting and wish to use an object as a datasource, a sort of reportmodel (like the viewmodel in MVVM pattern).
With that use, I will be sure to separate my reports from my datas.
But I didn't found anything that tells me i can use nested properties from my datasource.

Does Telerik Reporting tool support this ?
Thanks

BR,

Steeve

Hi,

I'm trying to resize an element at bind based on properties of the data. I have a barcode object in a group header that is large for the first group and smaller for the subsequent groups. I want to resize the barcode and group header accordingly.

My data is in a DataTable and I have set two columns, for each height containing a Unit.Cm() with the required values. I've put these where I think they should go, in the relevant Bindings section with an expression equal to the columns.

However, at runtime I get a red box containing the error "Bindings error - an error occured while invocing the setter on property 'Height' with valuue '2.5cm'"

Please could you explain what I am doing wrong as there doesn't seem to be much documentation regarding using Bindings to change elements during the Bind events.

Thanks in advance
Joe

I have a simple column to hold phone numbers. It is an nvarchar(20) to allow for standard phone numbers with extensions.

The first 14 digits will be a standard US phone number. The column allows NULL values and I want to format the data to the following:

(999) 999-9999. This is being done with an expression as follows:

="(" + Fields.PrimaryPhone.SubString(0,3) + ") " + Fields.PrimaryPhone.SubString(3,3) + "-" + Fields.PrimaryPhone.SubString(6)

The issue we are having is if a value is NULL, the expression errors out. I have tried an IIF function, but it does not fix the error condition. Here is the error we are receiving:

 

An error has occured while processing TextBox 'primaryPhoneDataTextBox':

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

 

We have tried a conditional format prior to the expression, and that has not worked either...

Need some assistance as to how to do this...

Thanks...
