Hello Guys,

We have a need to create some templates to store and retrieve information. I was wondering if Telerik Reporting or any other Telerik controls can support the features we are looking for.

Basically, there are some documents that needs to be stored in the database and retrieved upon request. Right now, when the user uploads the document, it would be stored in database and when requested will open up in MS Word. If the users have to make changes to that document, they need to retrieve it, make changes and then re-upload it.

However, the users now want us to provide some templates to create the document. When retrieved, the entire document should open up in a browser and they should have the ability to make changes to it and upload from the browser itself. Initially, I thought of providing a bunch of Rich Text boxes for them to create and edit, but that's a painful process. Is there any easy way of doing it using Telerik Controls??

The sample template looks like this :

• Content Page for displaying the contents in the document. Similar to Index in a book.
• Objective Section : Can run into multiple pages
• Few tables to store the users information, contact list etc.,

The whole thing should mimic microsoft word look and feel although it's not mandatory...

Any ideas???

I am not getting the row height smaller. The setting in the designer is 0.45 cm, but in the reportexplorer it is still 30px.

Many thanks

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Telerik Reporting to Tie it into an Data Object to create a report.

I have an object that contains a 2 Collections of DataTables, one that needs to be used in Charting, the other in a Table, along with another collection of objects for general reporting.  I need to create the report in such a way that it repeats for each instance of the parent object. 

I'm coding this for a VB Windows Form.  Any help or examples of data binding using an object would be appreciated.

I have a reportviewer on my page and in the pageload codeblock I have put:


The problem is that this report has a parameter which I allow to accept blanks and when I load the page up, the report trys to get the data and display it.
I do not want it to create the report when the page loads, I want it to only try to create the report when the Preview button is pressed.
How can I do this?

Respected Team,
                 I have a chart (pie) in my report which is populated by NeedDataSource event. If i set the report's data source as a datatable from webform (asp.net web page) then NeedDataSource event is fired automatically and it works fine. When I use this report as a subreport and set the datasource with same data table from Main Report then NeedDataSource is not fired and my pie chart is not displaying.
  I tried to use the RaiseNeedDataSource(chart1.GetType(), EventArgs.Empty). By this way it has been fired but in NeedDataSource event when i tried to type cast the sender (chart1) as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Char then it returns null and eventually it failed to display the pie chart. Code is given below
1. Sub report name is rptAgedDebtor
      public rptAgedDebtor()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            chart1.RaiseNeedDataSource(chart1.GetType(), EventArgs.Empty);
        }
2. private void chart1_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart chart = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart;
            Telerik.Reporting.Chart chartDefinition = chart.ItemDefinition as Telerik.Reporting.Chart;

            ChartSeries DebtorSeries = new ChartSeries();
            DataTable tblDebtor = (System.Data.DataTable)this.DataSource;

            decimal debtorValue = 0;
            ChartSeriesItem DebtorItem = null;
            foreach (DataRow dr in tblDebtor.Rows)
            {
                debtorValue = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(dr["Value"]));
                if (debtorValue == 0) continue;
                DebtorItem = new ChartSeriesItem();
                DebtorItem.Label.TextBlock.Text = string.Format("${0:##,##,##0}", debtorValue);
                DebtorItem.YValue = Convert.ToDouble(dr["Value"]);
                DebtorItem.Name = GetAgedItemTitle(dr["Name"].ToString());
                DebtorSeries.AddItem(DebtorItem);
            }
            DebtorSeries.Type = ChartSeriesType.Pie;
            DebtorSeries.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;
            chartDefinition.Series.Add(DebtorSeries);
            chartDefinition.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;
            chartDefinition.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Text = "Aged Debtors";
            chartDefinition.PlotArea.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
            chartDefinition.PlotArea.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
            chartDefinition.PlotArea.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;
        }

  If any one have any idea then plz give me chance of thanks.

Hi,

I am creating multiple reports and trying to style them. I need to use a specific size for the textboxes in the report and was wondering if there is anyway to set that in the stylesheet for the report and use it across multiple reports(I know how to use style sheets across multiple reports, but do not see any option for setting the size of textbox).

Thanks

Hi,

I created some reports as a class library and am using them in a web application. I could save the reports (eg: PDF format) on the server using the reportProcessor.RenderReport method. Is there anyway that I can implement a save/view option kind of dialog box on the client side(simliar to what we get when we use a reportviewer and click on "Export")

Our ASP.NET/Silverlight 4 application has 75k clients and potentially millions of transaction records over time. Has anyone successfully run Telerik Reports on large datasets; i.e. 10,000 to 1,000,000 records? I've heard that there are problems with as little as 1,000 records.  If I access our client dataset (75k records) and query it with the Query Builder in VS 2010, it will begin returning records almost immediately at an extremely acceptable rate.  If I try and run a Telerik Report on it, it throws an meaningless exception almost immediately from inside the adapter's Fill method which it displays on the ReportViewer screen. 

Does anyone believe that Telerik Reporting can or should be used in this sort of situation; and if so, what modifications have you made to the base code to accomplish this, and if not, does anyone know of an alternative?  I'm becoming desparate.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm trying to style the crosstab table.
For the table data, i have a grey line under each row  (Normal.TableBody ) ,
for the Subtotal I have a double black line as the top (Normal.SubTotal ) .

When it prints, I'm getting the double black line and the grey line,
since the data before the subtotal is also the table data

I've deduced it's because one textbox uses Normal.TableBody, which has the grey line at the bottom
and the other textbox uses Normal.SubTotal which is defined as a top border with a double line.
So how would i make the Subtotal Box be the main one?

please see image.


Also, in the stylerule, how come I don't see a place to add a style name in the TypeSelector Collection Editor when adding a new rule (newstyle.png) ?

If I edit an existing (existingstyle.png) rule the stylename box is there.

Here's the export of the Styles
