Everything works okay in Q12009, however, after I upgraded to Q2, I got "World is not Supported" error, just seeking for any suggestions.

I use the following code to generate and preview the report

And at report code-behind

We've been using Telerik Reporting with a product that we have been developing for about a year. We have designed 5 or 6 reports for that product over the past several months using Q3 2008 SP1. These reports are bound to business objects that we have designed to work with NHibernate.

Hi,

I need to find out if there is some way for me to do checks in my report when it is generated. Currently I'm generating a report that receives a collection of objects as its datasource(via a bindingsource). Each of these objects in my collection is of type ITenderLineItem. This is an interface that I wrote. So basicly this list contains objects of different datatypes. They are: TenderSeries, TenderSection and TenderItem. All three these classes implements ITenderLineItem. Now in my report I'd like to display:

Series/Section Nr	Item Nr	Description	Unit	Qty	Rate 1	Amount 1	Rate 2
1000		General			0		0   --> Series
1000		Section 1			0		0
	10.1	Item 1			1000		1000
	10.1	SubItem 1			2000		3000
Summary Here	(i)	SubSubItem 1	mm2	5	4000		7000
2000		Housing			0		0  --> Series
2100		Section 1			0		0
	21.1	Item 1	UNIT	100	0		0
	(i)	SubItem 1			0		0
	(i)	Sub-SubItem 1			0		0

Summary Here

But at the moment I'm just getting my report to display all Items:

Series/Section Nr	Item Nr	Description	Unit	Qty	Rate 1	Amount 1	Rate 2
1000		General			0		0
1000		Section 1			0		0
	10.1	Item 1			1000		1000
	10.1	SubItem 1			2000		3000
	(i)	SubSubItem 1	mm2	5	4000		7000
2000		Housing			0		0
2100		Section 1			0		0
	21.1	Item 1	UNIT	100	0		0
	(i)	SubItem 1			0		0
	(i)	Sub-SubItem 1			0		0

The way I see it is that I'd need to have some sort of check in my report to determine if the Item being added is a Series Item and then to insert a summary section to summarize the totals per series etc. This I can do by castig the object or calling the ToString() method and checking what gets returned. Problem is I don't know how to do this sort of testing in my report. What events should I use and what expressions do I need to add to my TextBoxes.

I have the following code in my NeedDataSource:

        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@PolicyNum").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@PolicyNum").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@AcctNum").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@AcctNum").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@SaleNum").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@SaleNum").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@Lineid").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@Lineid").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@ParentAgent").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@ParentAgent").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@SubAgent").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@SubAgent").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@StartEffDate").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@StartEffDate").Value
        Me.SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters("@EndEffDate").Value = Me.ReportParameters("@EndEffDate").Value

        Dim dataSet As New DataSet()
        SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dataSet)

        Dim ChartInc As Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart = CType(sender, Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart)
        Dim DefChart As Telerik.Reporting.Chart = DirectCast(ChartInc.ItemDefinition, Telerik.Reporting.Chart)
        ChartInc.DataSource = dataSet

I am trying to have 2 different charts: one showing TotalIncurred and one showing ClaimCount as the series.  I want to show them by Policy Year and by Line on the same chart, but group them.  I thought I could use the DataGroupColumn, so I tried 

setting PlotArea->XAxis->DataLabelsColumn to PolicyYear and DataGroupColumn to Line.  It isn't working.  Any ideas on how to do this?

 

Hi guys, i feel that i must be missing something in the installation as i can never see the design view in vs2008. I have tried to install reporting on 3 machines running VS 2008 SP1 and in all 3 i get the same issue.

Step 1, i create a new class lib
step 2, i add a new item of type Telerik report 2009 Q1
when the design view comes up i get

To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved: 1 Error Why am I seeing this page?

If the table adapter in dataset use connection string stored in Web.config, the report works OK when running the web page but show no data while previewing in Design mode.

I tried the solution proposed in forums but didn't work.

I debug Design Preview with a MessageBox like this...

and I get "Object not set to an instance of an object"

What am I missing?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I have a line chart in my report and want to show dates on the x-axis. Unfortunately the X-axis item labels don't show up. I tried to do it with the following code:

 

private void _gideonChart_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

_gideonChart.Series.Clear();

_gideonChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Clear();

_gideonChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale =

false;

 

_gideonChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoShrink =

false;

 

 

ChartSeries msciUsdSeries = new ChartSeries();

 

msciUsdSeries.Name =

"MSCI World USD";

 

msciUsdSeries.Type =

ChartSeriesType.Line;

 

msciUsdSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor =

Color.Purple;

 

msciUsdSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor =

Color.Purple;

 

 

ChartSeries msciEurSeries = new ChartSeries();

 

msciEurSeries.Name =

"MSCI World EUR";

 

msciEurSeries.Type =

ChartSeriesType.Line;

 

msciEurSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor =

Color.FromArgb(203, 216, 254);

 

msciEurSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor =

Color.FromArgb(203, 216, 254);

 

 

foreach (var entry in _dataSource)

 

{

 

ChartSeriesItem msciUsdItem = new ChartSeriesItem();

 

 

ChartSeriesItem msciEurItem = new ChartSeriesItem();

 

msciUsdItem.YValue = (

double)entry.MsciUsdQuote;

 

msciUsdItem.Label.Visible =

false;

 

msciUsdSeries.Items.Add(msciUsdItem);

msciEurItem.YValue = (

double)entry.MsciEurQuote;

 

msciEurItem.Label.Visible =

false;

 

msciEurSeries.Items.Add(msciEurItem);

 

ChartAxisItem chartAxisItem = new ChartAxisItem(entry.QuotesDate.Date.ToShortDateString());

 

_gideonChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem(chartAxisItem);

}

_gideonChart.Series.Add(msciUsdSeries);

_gideonChart.Series.Add(msciEurSeries);

}

If you see some mistakes or know something else that might help, please let me know.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Gerald

Hi,

Is it possible to generate a report from code behind and then send this pdf as an email.

I would like to achieve this without the user having to generate the report so I would need to do it using the api.

The scenario is if a user clicks a button 3 reports will get generated and sent to the user;s email address.
I want to do this on the fly.

I guess I might have to save the generated pdf in a temp folder while I send the email and then delete the reports.

Thanks,

Ronan

I am having trouble with a ReportBook.  The reports I am using are in a class, and they work fine if I set them up to show in a regular Report Viewer with the below code (the parameters are used in the NeedDataSource in the report):

    Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = Nothing
        report = New LRSummary()
        If Not report Is Nothing Then
            If Not Me.txtPolNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(0).Value = Trim(Me.txtPolNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtAcctNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(1).Value = Trim(Me.txtAcctNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtSaleNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(2).Value = Trim(Me.txtSaleNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.Linid.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(3).Value = Trim(Me.Linid.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtParentAgent.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(4).Value = Trim(Me.txtParentAgent.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtSubAgent.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(5).Value = Trim(Me.txtSubAgent.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.LimitEffective.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(6).Value = Trim(Me.LimitEffective.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.LimitExpiration.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(7).Value = Trim(Me.LimitExpiration.Text)
            End If
        End If
        Me.ReportViewer1.Report = report

But if I use the below code to try to use the same report in a report book, it doesn't work.

       Dim reportBook As New ReportBook()
        Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = Nothing
        report = New LRSummary()
        If Not report Is Nothing Then
            If Not Me.txtPolNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(0).Value = Trim(Me.txtPolNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtAcctNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(1).Value = Trim(Me.txtAcctNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtSaleNum.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(2).Value = Trim(Me.txtSaleNum.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.Linid.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(3).Value = Trim(Me.Linid.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtParentAgent.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(4).Value = Trim(Me.txtParentAgent.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.txtSubAgent.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(5).Value = Trim(Me.txtSubAgent.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.LimitEffective.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(6).Value = Trim(Me.LimitEffective.Text)
            End If
            If Not Me.LimitExpiration.Text Is Nothing Then
                report.ReportParameters(7).Value = Trim(Me.LimitExpiration.Text)
            End If

        End If
        reportBook.Reports.Add(New LRSummary())
        Me.ReportViewer2.Report = reportBook
       
        I add more reports, but in the same way.  I get either no data or errors on the parameters.  If I set some sample parameters in the report class itself, the reports work, but with those sample parameters instead of the ones I set in code.  I almost feel like I should rebind the datasource somehow, but I don't seem to be able to access the report's datasource.  Plus why would I have to do that on the report book but not the report viewer?  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Amy 
       

Hiya Folks,

I'm evaluating the Telerik products.

I have a requirement to write a report that (concurrently) uses data from BOTH an ODBC MySQL Database Connection AND a MS SQL Database.

Will Telerik's Report Writer support this requirement?

The ODBC MySQL uses the MySQL 3.51 ODBC client and is read only using Views.   The MS SQL is current 2008.  VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 is the development environment.   I'd like to wrap the reports in a SL 3 app (yes, I saw the recent TK example on how to do this - very nice).

If so, is there an example that demonstrates this?

If the Report Writer doesn't support multiple data sources on a single report, is there a fuctional work around with OpenAccess to combine tables from separate sources into a single data connection/source?  If so, I'll follow through with a post in the ORM forum.

FYI: My last resort would be to create a data warehouse for the MySQL data in MS SQL - I would like to avoid having to do that.

I'm always open to alternate solutions.

Thanks,
     Garth

*********** Later Update  *********
I am looking into ORM example:
http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/112754_classlibraries.zip

to access multiple databases.

I would appreciate hearing from experienced users or TK on best practices in creating multi-database applications.
