Have three panels in report designer.
In the report designer, report designer preview, and report designer PDF export, the right margin of the three stacked panels are aligned vertically,
set to the page width of 7.50 inches in properties.

In an ASP.NET web page, launching the Telerik: ReportViewer, the margin of the first panel is now about 1 physical inch wider than the following two panels, but in the PDF export, all three panels are realigned just as they were in report designer preview PDF export test.
All other report objects, header, panels 2 and 3, footer, and page numbering
are all aligned properly to the page width.

The first panel contains four side by side graphics
with four text boxes underneath.
Text boxes are set to auto wrap.

Any ideas as to how to control the reportviewer panel width in ASP.NET page?

Thanks

Hi, I am try to draw a table-like format report using Dock. But can not get it work.

What I want for my report is like the following:

----------------------------------
| col1     | col2      |  col3  |   col4  |
----------------------------------
|             |             |          |            |
|             |             |          |            |
|             |             |          |            |
|             |             |          |            |
|             |             |          |            |
|             |             |          |            |
-----------------------------------

basically, no horizontal lines for data items, only vertical lines to seperate every column.

I tried to set dock to left for every col header (which is in my group header section), but the col1 kept moving to the most right position. other col also moved, the column sequency is change as I set dock property to left for each of them.           

Another problem is there is always a blank between the vertical lines  in the detail section.

Am I doing this right. or we have another better to achieve what I am trying to do.

Thanks in advance

Hello, Im new at this, I am watching how the Telerik Reporting and I have the following questions:

We need a developer to download and install the Telerik Reporting Trial solution to see if it addresses our needs.  We need to specifically look at the following feature evaluation:
  1. What type of data source specifications are supported?  Can we specify a data source at run-time?  This may be necessary to properly implement our multi-tenant reporting solution.
  2. Can we build a chart/graph only report that would work in our dashboard.  These would have a different data source than the standard reports.
  3. Can parameters be passed via URL to a report?
  4. How is the reporting solution installed?  Will it require a dedicated server?
  5. Can we foresee any security issues?  Will we have to expose the reporting or transactional database to the web tier?
  6. How effective is it's support for MySQL?
  7. How do we implement hidden parameters in a report?  We need to be able to implement a CustomerID parameter that is programatically set which cannot be intercepted or modified by the end user.  This is required for multi-tenant security.
  8. Need to determine if we need to purchase the source code.
  9. Can we programatically invoke an existing report, intercept the output and send it to a mail server as an attachment to an email?  Basically, this would be a roll-your-own report scheduler.
  10. How are reports persisted (file system, compiled code, etc.)?  How difficult to add new reports to the system?


I hope you can help me.
Thank you!

Hello everybody...

I have created a report and i need to display images. This images are in db. On the design of my report I put this code:

this.pictureBox3.Value = "=Fields.Front";

When I run my report from a Windows Form , I get the "Parameter is not valid" exception.

Please, if someone has an idea, tell me what must I do...
Thanks...

Hello,

When I use expression to bound a value to a textbox I would have something like this:
this.textBox2.Value = "=Fields.JobID";
Now, how can I access this value in the code.
I tried:
string str = textbox2.value.ToString();
but I got "=Fields.JobID" which I expected to get an integer number.
I also tried string str = "=Fields.JobID" and it didn't work either.
How can I get this fields value in the code.

Many thanks

Hello,

When exporting a report to excel, I always get the following error:

"Trying to subtract from Unit.Empty!"

After some tests, I discovered that when I copy/paste all the objects of the report one by one or a group of objects to a new report, everithing works fine. But, when I select a specific area of the report (repor theader, report details, etc.) and do a copy/paste, then the error appears.

Can you tell me what seems to be the problem? This behavior is very strange and I think that its not a good idea do a copy/paste everytime this error appears in a report.

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

I am a bit confused in the different previews when designing the reports. Why is it that what I see in the Preview is a bit different from the HTML preview?

For instance, I would like to have a textbox with a few line of information.

"I want to go there:             Washington"
In this case, in the preview is working fine but when in html preview, the tab in between is gone and I  am not sure if when print how it will show. I am assuming that when print, it follows what is shown in the preview tab and not the html preview tab. Is this right?

"I want to <b>go</b> there: Washington"
In this case, I want the 'go' to be bold and the other words not. I have to put the <b> tag so that in the html preview it is shown bold but in the preview tab it shows the tag. When I print it out it also show the <b> tag and the word 'go' is not bold.

Basically I am facing a lot of confusion as what I will see in my application and what I print out is different. How can I go about it that what I see is what I will print out? And lastly is that whenever I made changes to the report design, I cannot preview the latest changes until I do an iis reset and close open Visual Studio then only I can see the latest changes in the preview and application.

Lastly is that lets say I design a report in which will span a few pages. In the preview tab shows how many pages I will have. However, in the html preview and application, it shows the report as 1 page with no page break indication or how many pages. In the report viewer in the application shows only 1 page. But when I print out, it will show like maybe 2 pages or 3 pages and when print of course 2 pages or 3 pages.

So I have problem in the designing the report, showing in the preview tab, html preview tab and application report viewer shows different things and also that I cannot see the latest changes made to the report without reseting iis and close open visual studio to view the latest changes.

Thanks.

Regards,
Eugene
