Hi everyone,
I have just started to play with the reporting tool provided and must say I really like it.
I am building a website that processes credit card payments using a 3rd party, I need to be able to email my users an receipt once a payment has been made. Thats were I see telerik reporting fitting in.

I have built a report that I wish to use as my template that I will contact to my datasource however I really dont know how to wire everything up.

I have an aspx page which I dont wish to show the report so I havent added a viewer but what I wish to do is create the report as a pdf and then email it. I know how to email the report but I am unsure of how I need to bind the report to my datasource,creating the pdf then sending it.

Does anyone have any tips to get me started?

Hi,

when you try to change the Report while having the visibility property set to false it will give you the following message:

 “Property value is not valid.
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration.”

At the moment you can only change the report property in design time when the visible property is set to true.

I’m using the Q3 2008 version of Telerik Reporting.

Hi

I am currently trying to convert the code for an ampersand (&amp;) into the actual sign.  The database that I am retrieving the value from stores it as its code but when displayed in my report, it doesn't convert it.  Does anyone know if it is possible to convert it when displaying the report?

Thanks

Is there any way to do a conditional page break? I have a label report that needs to have page breaks at certain places based on the data but not on a group or such. So I want to use some sort of conditional formatting or whatever to insert page breaks based on a value in one of the fields. Is this possible?

Hi..

      Now i am using subreport .. But the group header section is repeated twice in the master report .. when  report is called in another report with the use of subreport concept , the master report's group header section is displays twice in the preview..

Hello, i purchased Telerik Reporting Q3 2008 SP1 software. When i try to install on a server windows 2003 it fails cause is trying to find a missing file, i think
<add assembly="Telerik.Reporting.VsPackage, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicLeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"/>

So i have already the other software version Q2 2007 and appears the missing file, so i copy this file to the new path and it works properly.
Is this correct that what am i doing? Why the new version have not this file but the older one has it? Should i have any problem with the licence?

Thanks.

Regards

 

I have a report that binds a chart and manually builds the ChartSeriesItem collection.

the LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels.

Unfortunately the labels come out blank.   Researching the RadGrid forum it appears that because I am not setting the DataLabelsColumn this is why?   So then there is a solution offered to build the legend in the BeforeLayout event.  Unfortunately I the Charting in Reporting does not have this event.

What might be the way to set the Legend text to the Item labels in this case where I do not use a datasource for the char axis?

Hi I just downloaded the Telerik reporting demo into VS Studio 2008 Express (VB).  I can load the controls into my toolbox.  However when I right-click onto the project, and choose "Add Item"  I do not see the icon for Telerik Report.  I am simply following the example in the "TelerikReporing-LearningGuide.pdf" on page 6 which creates a class.

Any ideas why I cannot see this?

Thanks

We currently use Crystal Reports 11.5 in our desktop app and wish to get away from Crystal in the worst way.  Let me explain how we do our reporting with Crystal and hopefully Telerik can perform the same functions we need.

1.       Our support/report team creates a report with Crystal and saves it as a rpt file.  The data source is ole db for sql.

2.       The rpt is imported into MSSQL database as a blob.

3.       Upon selecting the report to run we extract the report to the local file system as report.rpt

4.       Code Snippet to set report connection

ConnectionInfo conInfo = new ConnectionInfo();

conInfo.DatabaseName = DB.m_dbname;

conInfo.UserID = "UserName";

conInfo.Password = "Password";

conInfo.ServerName = DB.m_server;

 

m_rptdoc.SetDatabaseLogon(conInfo.UserID, conInfo.Password, conInfo.ServerName, conInfo.DatabaseName);

DBSelection(conInfo);

crViewer.ReportSource = m_rptdoc;

5.       Then we watch for the print event from crystal. If they print the file we grab the printed version of the file and archive it in the database.

//m_rtpdoc is the crystal report

string keywords = m_rptdoc.SummaryInfo.KeywordsInReport;

foreach (ParameterField pf in m_rptdoc.ParameterFields)

      {

      if (pf.Name == "PatientID" ||

      pf.Name == "POSDocID")

      {

      pf.CurrentValues.Clear();

      pf.CurrentValues.AddValue(ids.IDAtThisLevel(1));

      }

6.       We also watch to see what parameters crystal will ask for and if we already have them we pass them with code behind.

 

Hopefully somebody can shed some light on if this is doable with Telerik.  Thank You
