I'm trying to access data programmatically (after it's already bound) and I'm not sure where to start (I'm very new to Telerik Reporting).  I know from within the report designer I can use Fields.[FieldName] to access a specific column from the current row being displayed; what I'm looking for is something equivalent I can access programatically.

The reason I would like this capability is because I have to dynamically create different Textboxes in my detail section, since different records require a different layout.  I was unable to find what I'm looking for in the documentation or by searching (perhaps I just don't know the correct terminology), so any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I am once again investigating a reporting tool for 2 projects that are currently underway.  I looked at Telerik Reporting a while back, I loved it, but the way that Page Headers were handled was a deal breaker.

According to the "Understanding Report Sections" docs:

"It is possible to suppress the printing of the Page Header section on the first and last page of a report."

Is it still the case that even when printing is suppressed on the first page, the white space corresponding with the size of the section still exists? 

Thanks,
John

Hello,

Is there any way to export a report in swf format, or at least to integrate a pdf file into a swf file? Has anybody such a problem?

thanks

Hi,
I have a text that is to long to fit, is it possible to render it on two lines?
ChartSeries s = new ChartSeries(); 
s.Type = ChartSeriesType.Bar; 
ChartSeriesItem item = new ChartSeriesItem(); 
item.Name = "This text is way to long to fit!"
chart1.Series.Add(s); 

I think I have read it somewhere but I cant find it now!

I've followed along with the video at http://tv.telerik.com/reporting/video/telerik_trainer_-_reporting_subreports.  This is basically the way I have created all of my Master-Detail reports.  I use a ReportParameter/Filter combo on the subreport and a corresponding parameter on the master report.

However, on one report in particular it is very, very slow.  Sixty seconds.  That's painfully slow to me.  The master report lists on the most basic fields from a Driver's record:

SELECT id, firstName, middleName, lastName, phone1, phone2, phone3, city, experience, endorsements, class, quality, hired, applied   
From  vw_dmsDriver  
WHERE (Assigned=0) AND (AvailabilityID = 1) AND MarketId=1 

The subreport contains all the individual notes for that driver from a related table:

SELECT [Value] 
      ,Username 
      ,DriverID 
      ,[TimeStamp
  FROM vw_dmsDriverNotesPrivate 

I don't know the ins-and-outs of what's going on behind the scenes, but I really don't think it should take that long.

So I was then reading this: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-master-detail.html, and it pointed me to this video  http://tv.telerik.com/reporting/video/Telerik_Reporting_-_Design_Time_Support_for_Parameterized_Queries.  I thought this might enable me to get a little better performance out of the report by passing parameters to the DataAdapter's SelectCommand, rather than using the ReportParameter/Filter.

Unfortunately, the example code at the bottom of the http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-master-detail.html doesn't seem to work.

Running a report for either of these queries separately, is near instantaneous.  It almost seems to me that the subreport is loading every record and ignoring the parameter, and then applying the filter after ALL records have been returned, but what do I know?

Any advice would be appreciated.  If there is any other detail I can provide, please let me know.

Hello All,
Maybe this question was already asked, but I couldn't find proper answer about this.
I have a generic list of some object ( List<Companies> myCompanies ), and Companies class have new collection as a member ( List<Employess> myEmplyes). I have a problem how to display this embedded list of employees. I added subreport, but then I can't pass proper parameters in runtime to subreport.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Andrija

Simple question: How do I set the datasource of a report at runtime. I want to only display one record. (There is also a subreport in the report). This is a Windows forms app, so it would be displayed in the Windows forms viewer.

I have one report, while designing, that gives me an error when I click on the "..." button in the Value property of a control.  The error is:

"Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."

Could there be something wrong with my report to cause this error?  I am not sure how to find out what it thinks is wrong.

When the angle is set to 90/270 in the Telerik.Reporting.Textbox control then the TextAlign = Center doesn't work.

I wrote a few times and got some explanations back, I understand parts of them, I have watched the Telerik reporting webinar, and he did talk about passing parameters, but using the UI part for filtering, I do not want that part.

I am using the Q3 reporting tools.
this is what I need, I have a web page that display's a report in a grid, when the user clicks on a button I would like to send that ID to a report to display in a report viewer, so the user can have many options for dealing with the report.

please explain to me, how I set up the report viewer, how I Pass the parameter(s) to the report class so I can call my business class to create my collection to be on the report.

or guide me to documation that explains this or a video, would be great.

thanks, I am just getting so fustrated with this.
