[Solved] Export Functions in Telerik Reporting Demo

I just published a proof of concept showing live data within Telerik Reporting(Demo) Viewer. What I can't figure out is why the exporting function (pdf, tiff, Excel, etc.) as well as the printing function do not work? Are these functions available in the full version?

[Solved] Telerik Reporting Smart Part

Hi,

1. I want to have a Smart Part with Telerik Reporting in it.

2. Secondly is that it is N-Tier Architecture following the style of having a dll specifically for report design and another project to design the reportviewer.

3. Thirdly is that I want to write my own sql and use the datasource from my web.config in wss. However, in terms of designing how the report look like in terms of maybe the grouping, where the data is put and how, color scheme etc.., I want to design using the drag and drop rather than programatically.

How can I accomplish all this? Is there a sample that I can refer to or other resources?

Display Grand Total On Report

I have 3 groups on my report - group1, 2 and 3( in the same order).In groupfooter I am displaying total for the group. At the end of the report I want to show Grand Total. Where could I have this grand total. I really do not want on Report Footer because it is displayed on each page. It would be really nice to see at the end of the group... If report footer is the only option is there is way to show it only ONCE on the report and not on all pages.

Reporting Template for Visual RPG

I was going through your Walk-Through for developing a Telerik report (Q1 2008) when I noticed there is no template provided for Visual RPG. We've been using your RAD Controls Suite for the past couple of years with no problems and would like to use the Reporting solution.

Can you provide us with a template for use with Visual RPG for VS 2005 or offer some assistance in developing one? We are developing using Webforms.

Thanks you

Very Nice Job

I have always used crystal reports for my reporting needs, it's quick and simple so I never thought I would need your reporting tool.

But a few days ago, I tried to create a purchase order in CR, and was hitting walls because I needed to access non-normalized data in a legacy database with a lot of business rules that had to be observed and CR could do some of the work, via subreports and shared variables between the reports but it was going to be very difficult to maintain and support this report in the future.

However when I cracked open Telerik Reporting, and was able to use multiple datasources within my report, and alter the values at runtime (item_databound_events), the value of your reporting tool just shot up to the top of my list.

I can do so many more things with your tool than I could ever do with CR when it comes to multiple datasources and accessing muliple platform databases.

Thanks,

Tim

p.s. Crosstabs would be nice :-)

Data connection problems

Hi :o)

I've now sorted my reports - all looking cool.

Now that I've come to deploy the app onto my webserver I seem to be having problems with data connections.

Is there an easy way to change the connection string of the datasets within the report project.

Thanks

Tim

Unable to Preview Reports

Good Morning,

As per the tutorials I have created a ReportsLib class library which is referenced from a web app. Database access is via a DAL which is also a separate class library compiled into a dll. Databinding is to business objects returned by the DAL. This all works fine when the reports are called from the web application.
However when I try and preview the reports in the designer I get an Exception as follows:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Unable to read connection string from the .config file.

This is similar in nature to when I referenced the DAL from a separate Unit Testing class library. Obviously the class library projects do not have access to the web config containing the connection string. In that case creating an app.config containing the connection string in the UnitTest project did the trick.

Unfortunately the same approach did not work for the ReportsLib project. Is there something else I need to do to get the preview functionality to work if my datasource is obtained from another class library which obtains its connection string from the config file?

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Cheers

Ernie Josefik

P.S. running version Q1 2008
