When i execute my web report program , Can i display 'Filter Dialog Editor'
for let user input some report filter? The reason is I have very simple report
that need complex filter and i think if i can dynamic calling 'Filter Dialog Editor' then sent this dynamic filter back to Report, then it can make my report
more flexible.
Does the report viewer require any active X or Java download? Our MS Report Services does and it is a pain for some cusomters, do not want that anymore.
Is there a simple "Getting Started" tutorial for making a Web App report? Simillar to the ones in the "Getting Started" video and the pdf "Learning Guide"?
I got through creating the class and previewing the report OK, but the tutorials are for Windows apps - the steps for getting a project to consume the report do not appear to be the same. I did not have the same option shown in the directions.
I am just trying to get a simple test report out for deployment so we can see how it works.
I am noticing that, when I start my site in the debugger, all of my reports are attempting to contact the SQL Server. I am not loading a page that has any reports, or any reference ot the report viewer. And yet all of my reports open their connections prematurely. I am using Q2 2007. any ideas?
I am trying to evaluate the Teleric report control for purchase/use in a C#, VS 2005, ASP.NET 2.0 web app we have deployed with a large customer. The main reason to switch from the current MSFT report control is that one client is getting an error which we think is probably related to their firewall, but we cannot solve it. We want to see whether either Teleric or Crystal Reports will work.
For testing, I want to use the existing project (not create a separate class project as advised in the tutorials) and:
- Create a new report
- Use an existing data set for the data source (our data sets are in the app_data folder.
- Drop the report into an aspx containing the Teleric report control
It does now much matter what the report does at this point, I just want to generate any output, based on the above. If it works in this client's browser we will deal with the suggested 'best practices' later.
Is there anywhere in the documentation where is states how to do this? Everything I have seen keeps taking me to the separate class system.
I have been able to create a report (in the app_code folder as suggested), but I cannot get the report to 'see' the existing data sets in the app_data folder.
Any help would be appreciated - I just want something quick and dirty at this point.
I have downloaded the trial report control for possible use in a VS 2005, C# web application. We've been using the MSFT report viewer control which is good enough, but it errors for certain users, so I am investigating the Teleric control - Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=2.8.8.925.
I want to quickly do a very quick and dirty report to see firstly if it works with all of our users. If so, great, because it looks like a better control anyway & well worth the price.
I have a 19 step instructional sheet from your website, so I get the idea. I do not want to do this in a separate class, for now. I just want to create the report in the existing web app project and test it there.
My question is how to get the 'DataSource' in the 'Data Explorer' window to 'see' the existing DataSets in the project. Once I can do that, I think I can just start dragging fields onto the report designer. The Data source icon does not show an datasets, and there does not seem to be any way to pick any.
