Sorry if this is a silly question or if I'm using the wrong terminology. I am not so familiar with the PDF specs.

The report I am exporting to PDF is mostly white space with a little text (as are most reports, I suppose). However, I don't really want it to be "white space". Instead, I want it to be "transparent" or "empty space".

Why?

I have another PDF that we refer to as "Electronic Letterhead". We take the "Electronic Letterhead" and imprint the report "on top of" it. Similar to putting pre-printed letterhead in your printer then printing the report on it. Imagine, however, if your printer actually printed white ink all over your pretty letterhead thereby effectively hiding it. Ouch! That's what's happening when we layer the telerik report (exported to PDF) on top of our "Electronic Letterhead". Is there any way to tell the PDF export to leave the white space "transparent" instead of "white"?

FWIW, we are using ABCpdf to "merge" the two documents.

I recently just upgraded from Telerik_Reporting_2009_1_430_trial.msi to Telerik_Reporting_2009_2_701_dev.msi. I followed all of the steps listed at (http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/installation-upgrading-trial-to-dev.html) . I have a report called MasterReport.cs that contains various subreports. It appears now when viewing the MasterReport.cs in design time (through VS 2008) the data for the sub reports is not showing. (Header sections for the sub reports do however...)
  Whats even weirder is I view the report through a report viewer on a web page everything (including the data for the sub reports) displays fine. So one thing I noticed right away was in my class library project(the ones containing the reports)  I can no longer reference the telerik.reporting.processing namespace as I was before upgrading. In the trial version ,I believe there was a seperate .dll for this namespace whereas now it exists in the telerik.reporting.dll. (telerik.reporting.dll I have infact already referenced)
  i believe this is where the problem maybe as I have no way to reference the   telerik.reporting.processing namespace. In my masterreport.cs I also use objects from this namespace it in the NeedDataSource even to set datasource for subreports. Still not sure why it works on the web page however. So I guess my questions are 1) Is there a way to reference telerik.reporting.processing    in my class library project? 2) Could it be something else that is causing this weird behavior.

If I create a report using an existing dataset I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when previewing. If I create a new dataset with the report wizard everything works ok.

I'm connecting the SQL Server.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I read this thread and apply it in order to add several subreports on the same detail section.

My problem is that the first sub report is more than one page and that messes with the render:

The first page is blank
The second page is filled with the first part of the first subreport
The third page is filled with the second part of the first subreport and the second subreport
The fourth page is blank
The last page is filled with the last subreport.

here is my code:

Thank you.
 PS: I would like to have all subreports to begin on a new page regardless of the length of the predecing subreport if any

Hi

I need a radar chart in my report, how can i do that with telerik reporting ?

Hi,

I have a report that I need to run automatically and generate sets of PDF files to specific folders on a network share drive, each with a unique name. I had setup a quick project with MS Access and was able to do this, although it's a bit buggy. For production I recoded the report into a Winform app using Telerik Reporting Q1 2009. The app does function as intended, but I noted that the machine gobbles all of the memory. I can watch the app run and as it's generating new PDFs, the memory use just continues to climb. I tried to do what I figured would release the memory, but it's not working.

Here's my code, did I miss something? How do I get the application to quit grabbing memory as it runs?

The report has 2 subreports included on the same page.

----Routine start---
        Dim con As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.CCO_MM_DATA)

        Dim sql As String = "usp_RptFaceSheet_ClientList_DIST"
        Try
            con.Open()
            Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(sql, con)
            Dim ds As New DataSet
            da.Fill(ds)

            'Get Data Table
            Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables(0)

            'Display Data
            For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
                If Directory.Exists("S:\Development\FaceSheets\" & row(2).ToString) Then
                    Me.ReportViewer1.Report = New TestFaceSheet.Report1

                    TryCast(ReportViewer1.Report, TestFaceSheet.Report1).ReportParameters(0).Value = Int32.Parse(Trim(row(0).ToString))
                    Dim mimType As String = String.Empty
                    Dim extension As String = String.Empty
                    Dim encoding As Encoding = Nothing
                    Dim deviceInfo As Hashtable = New Hashtable
                    deviceInfo("FontEmbedding") = "None"
                    Dim buffer As Byte() = ReportProcessor.Render("PDF", ReportViewer1.Report, deviceInfo, mimType, extension, encoding)
                    Dim fs As New FileStream("S:\Development\FaceSheets\" & Trim(row(2).ToString) & "\[" & Trim(row(1).ToString) & "]ClientInfo.pdf", FileMode.Create)
                    fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                    fs.Flush()
                    fs.Close()
                    deviceInfo.Clear()
                    fs.Close()
                    ReportViewer1.Dispose()

                End If

            Next
            con.Close()

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        Finally
            con.Close()

        End Try
        End
----Routine end----

I am trying to build a Web Form page to use to test my new report.  But when I drag the ReportViewer control from the toolbox over to my page I am getting this error:

The operation could not be completed. Invalid FORMATETC structure.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,

I have created the report and make the formatting using &nbsp; and <br/> ,When I am seeing it on the browser it is perfect what I need ,I am getting  however when i export to PDF the report is showing the &nbsp and <br/> tag.

However we know it is not right ,since export should have to function well and export same as it is showing on the browser as other exporting program do.

Please provide the solution.

Thanks,
Neeraj

 

 

 

Hi,

I have a requirements and I am hoping I can use Telerik to achieve this. I have to print data on premarked Business Card paper, i.e. which has 10 business cards per page (5 rows, 2 columns). I want to be able to print on both sides. I need to be able to print multiple at once, i.e. more than 10 if possible, running to the next page. I should also be able to select the starting point of where to print.

For example. If I print 3 cards the first time, then I need to be able to start from the 4th slot which is in the 2nd row, 2nd column. If this requirement CAN be met, then I need to be able to flip the page and print the back side on the correct places.

Is this possible with Telerik Reporting, do we have any examples?

Thank you.
