Hi

Is it possible to maintain a datasource connection string in a config file (like the web.config of web site) for all reports.

I'm creating a web application, but in a seperate project I'm creating the reports.
Once published, it will be known where the database reside, so changing the connection string only at one place so that all the reports then use that connection string.?

I just have a quick report.  I was looking at the TextBox page on my local copy of the Reporting documentation, and the link "expression" (ms-help://telerik.reporting.2.5/Reporting/DesigningReportsItemBindingExpressions.html) does not work.  I thought I'd let you guys know in case you haven't found this already!

Hello,

I've been working heavily with Reporting for the past few weeks and I have noticed that some aspects of the documentation could use some improvement.  For example, in the Chart topic and sub-topics, there is hardly any substantive documentation.  However, if you look at the RadChart section in the WinForms suite, the documentation is great!  I was thinking, do you think you could update the Reporting documentation to at least copy the helpful things that already exist in other control suites?  It seems a little illogical to have to refer to one product documentation for a totally different product :)

Thanks,

UIdev

Hello,

I'm trying to design a report but I'm having some issues with using the chart.  I have a DataSet that I'd like to somehow plug into a pie chart.  The structure of the sole table in the DataSet contains a column named "Nation".  For each row in the table, I'd like to increment the nation's slice of the pie.  However, I really have no clue where to get started.  When I go right click->properties on the chart and select the Data tab, it just says "use the NeedDataSource event."  I looked into that, but the documentation is severly lacking and I couldn't figure out anything.  So if you guys could come up with an answer to this problem it would be very much appreciated!

Thank you,

UIdev

Hello,

Is there any table which you can use to list your fields.
I am new to Telerik Reporting. I usually use Visual Studio to design a report in rdl/rdlc files and there you have a table.
How do you achieve this in here if you want to have horizontal line separator between each record and align them center if a cell grows?

Regards,
ME

Hi. Is it possible to use the r.a.d. reporting tool to generate Avery labels that users can export to MS Word? These labels are available in MS Word under Tools > Letters and Mailings > Envelopes and Labels > Options. This would be a very useful and handy tool to have, if it's not already available.

Thank you :)

Hi, I have an arraylist, which contains lists of customzied objects
for example ( TPerson )
some properties in the object, link to another object
for example
(TPerson.detail, it will query a record from other table)

However, when i bind arraylist as Datasource
it seems try to get all values also the refereal values (maybe using object persistence), which makes it slow

I use the same object in Grid and it doesn't show that behaviour

any suggestions?

I'm evaluating Telerik Reporting, and I have a question about its capabilites. In my application I need to generate a multiple-page document that displays in text and charts a number of fields within an XML document. The data will span several pages, but this is not a document where there are multiple rows of similar data, like a contact list or invoice list. Unfortunately all of the sample reports on the web site that I looked at contain examples where the reports show collections of data and not the kind of thing I'm trying to do. Does this mean that what I'm trying to do isn't supported, or is there way to do it? I'd appreciate some help on this. Thanks!

Hello,
We are using Telerik reporting (now Q1-2008) to stream a pdf report to a file. Then we stream the file to the web browser.

In the process, we've come across a few issues with the reporting engine
  • If a textbox that is set "CanGrow=True" has too much data (a few pages). The report engine goes indefinately, until it times out (acts like it is in an endless loop).
  • The overall rendering speed is dramatically slower than the PHP/Mysql application it is replacing. For identical Data (and for both applications, the dataset or equivelent being returned in under a second), for roughly 225-260 page report (due to border spacing issues, it is more pages in Telerik reporting), the performance is 3 seconds in our original report, and over 45 in the Telerik Report.

Is there anything that can be done to improve performance? I know I read that you are aware performance is a bit sluggish, but 1/15 the speed is BAD.

Thanks in advance,
Jason
