Hi,

I have a question regarding the scalability of the PDF rendering engine. We currently use SSRS (or tried) to generate some invoices. These invoices are never rendered to HTML, they only need to be rendered directly to PDF. SSRS does fine until you get about 100 pages or so. Anything over about 100 pages it simply won't do. No errors, it just never finishes. And it's slow as hell.

We need something that can generate reports (invoices) in excess of 5,000 pages directly to PDF as quickly as possible. Has anyone used the telerik reporting to generate reports of this size? If so, is it fast? What are the memory requirements?

TIA.

Hi,

I have a report with some textboxes where some functions as labels and other as datafields. I wan't the labels and datafields only to be shown if the datafield contains data.

Lets say I have a labelDescription and a textBoxDescription. If the Text of the textBoxDescription is an empty string I wan't to hide both the textBoxDescription and the labelDescription. I have managed to hide the textBoxDescription by implementing it's ItemDataBound event and setting it's Visible property to false if it doesn't contain any data but I can't figure out how to hide the labelDescription.

I tried setting the Visible property of the labelDescription to false but that doesn't seem to work. Here is my code:

private void textBoxDescription_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.EventArgs e)  
{  
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox textBoxDescription = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox)sender;  
 
    if (textBoxDescription.Text == "")  
    {  
        textBoxDescription.Visible = false;  
        labelDescription.Visible = false;//This doesn't work  
    }  

How do I hide the labelDescription?

Thanks
Phil

I am new to Telerik Reporting however I have been using RadControls for over 2 years now. I am currently working on an RMS (Records Management System) project for several clients. Needless to say I don’t feel like dealing with all the baggage within Crystal Reports (I can’t stand the viewer) and since I have been “Telerikized” I figured I’d give reporting a shot. I need to display an image in the Page Header that is unique to each client. It has to be able to be loaded dynamically depending on the designated client. Is there any way to do this without having to use a dataset? Parameters?

Hello -
I have a report in which has two textbox controls that are placed on the same spot on the report layout.  Only one can have a value at a time (rules handled by the app user interface and database). 

What I want to do is place them on top of each other in the desinger, but then only have one's Visible property set to True if it has data.

How can I do this with the Telerik reporting?  Unlike SSRS, there doesn't appear to be any expression builders.

Thanks,

Hi. I have a radMultiPage and I want to pass a value of a label to a ReportViwer inside the radMultiPage to use in a sql select.
I Have this:
Me.sqlSelectCommand1.Parameters.AddRange(New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter() {New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@user_id", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 20, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input, FalseCType(0, Byte), CType(0, Byte), "user_id", System.Data.DataRowVersion.Current, "aaa")}) 

But I want to put the value of the label where the "aaa" is. Inside my report.vb I don't have access to the label...

Any help please?

Thanks!

The telerik report viewer control works perfectly (thanks!), but when exporting to PDF, there are bizarre results:
1) Multiline pageheader fields display with only the first line.
2) Data Fields do not align with their associated pageheader
3) vertical white bars appear in the data area of the report, splitting their associated column in three parts (left, white bar, right)

example of #3:

Telerik version:
6/30/2007

PDF version:
6/3 0/2007

Many thanks for your assistance!

I am using a Custom Datatable as the report DataSource. I am trying to allow the user to select what page size they want. So if I have 32 records they can display those on 4 pages or all on one page. Is that currently doable? Is there a property I can use to do that?

thanks,
Svetoslav
