Couple of issues/suggestions with report designer

Hello! I'm just getting used to the report designer, so these could totally be my ignorance - if there's a good way to do what i'm asking, please enlighten me!

Here are two things I'm missing from the designer (that are -gasp- included in competitive products):

1) Since my datasources aren't accessible at design time, I would LOVE to be able to specify a DataSourceSchema at design time and point it at an .xsd file, for instance (which I could easily make from my data objects by doing a WriteXmlSchema,say), so that the designer could still give me a list of fields and such.

2) The designer snap-to-grid is a bit odd. If I set my snap to grid size at .05 inches, and start dragging a text box, I get snap sizes that are just a bit shy of the grid - for example, it will snap to .89in by .34 in, rather than .9 by .35. Perhaps this is done to prevent text boxes from overlapping, however I WANT them to overlap - I have a very boxy form to reproduce and having to adjust them all manually is a bummer. My output format is PDF and can handle the overlap. Can we get an option (or is there one) to actually snap everything to the grid?

Thanks,

Scott

Common PageHeaderSection

How do I create a common PageheaderSection for different of report.

I created a baseclass that inherits from telerik.reporting, this baseclass will create the header.
All my report will inherit from the baseclass in turn will have a method to setup the PageHeaderSection and PageHeaderFooter. Is this the correct way of creating a common pageheadersection and pageheaderfooter?

Thanks,

Error when cancelling export to excel

Hi,

I am currently evaluating the latest trial package of Telerik reporting. I get the following error, when cancelling a export to excel (translated from SE to EN):

InvalidOperationException - Its not possible to call Invoke or BeginInvoke in a control before the window reference is created.

Is this a known issue and will it be ammended in future releases?

Also I would like to know why Telerik is considerably slower, compared to Crystal Report, when rendering the exact same report?

Br,
Jonas

The subreports render fine in the web viewer but when exported to pdf they overlap.
I have about 6 subreport in total, however only two of them are overlapping.

Bug with Bring to Front?

Hello! So I've noticed a really odd behavior in the report designer. If I have a TextBox, with borders defined, and I do "Bring to Front" on that TextBox, after that it shows in the designer without borders - including if I go to "Styles..." However when I build/rebuild the project, the borders (correctly) reappear.

If this isn't a known issue, let me know and I can provide more detail on how to reproduce...

Export to rtf without textboxes

Hi,

Is it possible to export a report to .rtf without using textboxes? It's hard editing a .rtf file when it only consists of textboxes. Would it be possible to "just" use linebreaks and tabs, creating a "normal" document?

Thanks,
Brian

Report for HTML Content

I am using Telerik Reporting and Rad Editor.

I want to make Report on the contents saved through RadEditor.
I am giving HTML Content Input for Telerik Report.

In Report(Preview on browser) it will show the complete HTML Content( for a single record) in a Page even it exceeds the page Limit.

and when i print it prints the pure HTML and not the content.

I want to put Header and Footer for every page. But it assumes the whole HTML contents as a single page and so I can't customize it for individual pages.

thanks,
RR

Using SQLAdapter parameters with report parameters?

I am using an SQLAdapter that runs a select statement with a few parameters to the database in order to collect data for my report. Is there a way that I can use report parameters for letting the user change the parameters in the report or do I have to put the controls on the page that holds the report viewer where the user can change the inputs?

All I found was this old video http://www.telerik.com/clientsfiles/product.videos/28/ and I also read that you would have built in support for this in future releases. Any info on this?
