Hello,

I load the data for several of my reports through a web services layer, which can sometimes be a tad slow (as you might expect). I display a Windows Form dialog that has a report viewer embedded in it, and the dialog then requests the report data asynchronously.

What I would like to do is force the report viewer to show the "progress" animation while I'm out fetching data through the web service. But there doesn't seem to be a method within the viewer class that would support such.

Is there a way to do this? If so, how?

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

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...
