Using the report writer Q2 2008, I have the following text box which works when there is a value in the date, but errors when there is not.

="Change Date " + Fields.ChangeDt.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")

I would like to make the entire textbox invisible, or have it ignored when the value ChangeDt is null or empty.

How can this be done?

Thanks

Hi

I'm new user of telerik controls, recently I have been working with telerik reporting. I'm using Visual Studio 2005, .Net Framework 2.0 is a web application with AJAX functionality. And my questions are the following:

Is there a way to sort a subreport by user input, that user can select the column and the order he desires to be sorted?
Also can this be accomplished by using parameters or any other means?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I want to know if there is a programatic way to creating charts on the Telerik Reporting Suite. I have tried the winforms documentations that gives a very clear indication on how to , but the problem is that the methods and object declarations are diferent in the reporting suite.

And if so can you please point me to a doc or tutorial

Thank you

Hey, there... I'm trying to build a report, including charts, to display a series of metrics. The X-axis values on my charts are to be dates. I've set the format of the values on that axis to be a short date, and I'm trying to use the Chart.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn to get the values from the data source I'm using. Unfortunately, all I'm getting is zeroes for each column. Here's the code in my NeedDataSource handler:

private void ByDateChart_NeedDataSource(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart chart = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart;
           
            DataRowView dataItem = (DataRowView)chart.DataItem;
            sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dataSet);
            DataView view = dataSet.Tables[0].DefaultView;
            chart.DataSource = view;
            ByDateChart.PlotArea.XAxis.MaxItemsCount = view.Count;
            ByDateChart.PlotArea.XAxis.MaxValue = view.Count;
            ByDateChart.PlotArea.XAxis.MinValue = 0;
        }

Any advice? Even some general info on using dates as value labels along an axis would be helpful.

Like when I'm passing a parameter from a report to its sub-report, how do I get the value being passed? Coz I need to use the parameter value in a sub-report code.

Hi,

I'm not using Report Generation Wizards because I need to hook my reports up to a custom data source. Telerik kindly pointed me at the appropriate documentation to help with this but now I've hit another snag: I don't know how to add data-bound items and text items to the report using the designer interface. Is there any way to do this, and if not, can someone point me at some documentation to show me how it's done programatically?

EDIT: I've managed to add a box programatically, but with bound field boxes I'm getting the message "An error has occured while processing TextBox 'textBox1': The expression contains object 'adID' that is not defined in current context". What's going on here? There's a dataset being called and bound in the codebehind of the report object.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi, I've installed the latest download trial but can't find the project upgrade wizard.

Anyone else had this problem.

Hi i have a report where i show multiple information on a specific article.

Sales price :      10,00
Cost price           2,00
Comment:             Hi
Stocked amount: 120


The report looks something like the above just with more fields.
The thing is i dont want to show the comment line (nor the cost price) if they are empty and just making it invisible will make the report look wierd with holes.
So what i want is the stocked amount/comment to move up if something above is set to invisible.

Hi,

Is it possible to have some guidance on how one can create reports without using the built in Wizards? All the existing documention seems to be pointing heavily toward wizard-driven development, which is causing me immense problems. All our data access, for example, is through our own custom classes calling stored procs in SQL Server and not through MSDataSetGenerator objects or whatever it is that the wizard puts in your classes for you. The Query Builder doesn't seem to support direct calls to sprocs either, which makes matters more awkward.

Any help very gratefully appreciated!

cheers,
Matt
