Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I'm looking for a tutorial in how to use the Reporting tool.  I'm trying to design a report that will be ultimately accessed by a web page, and I'm having a frustrating time in trying to figure out how to define a datasource, etc.  The help files are helpful in telling you WHAT can be done, but not HOW to do it.  I've looked at the online demos as well, and that didn't help either.

Help?  Please?

Hi,

I have a report with a subreport. The subreport contains some textboxes that may of may not be shown depending on wether they contain data or not. The textboxes that contains data is correctly shiftet upwards (where the textboxes without data was placed) leaving no empty space between the textboxes in the subreport. The problem is that there is a lot of empty space under the textboxes in the subreport. I have tried to set the height of the subreport in it's ItemDataBinding and ItemDataBound events but apparently that is not possible.

private void detail_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.EventArgs e)  
{  
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection detailSection = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection)sender;  
    detailSection.Height.Subtract(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(2.0, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Cm));  
}  
 
private void detail_ItemDataBinding(object sender, System.EventArgs e)  
{  
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection detailSection = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection)sender;  
    detailSection.Height.Subtract(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(2.0, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Cm));  

How do I adjust the height of the subreport to fit it's content?

Thanks

Hello,

I started playing with Telerik Reporting and I was wondering why you don't provide xml files associated to the assemblies. It's very useful to have Intellisense comments to understand how works a class.

You provide those XML file for the ASP.NET RadControls dll, is there a reason for not providing them with the reporting assemblies ?
As far as I know it's only a checkbox to check in the Studio :p

Best regards

Hello,

I am using the Telerik report viewer for ASP.NET.  I have a DataSet object (.xsd) that I use as the data schema for my report at design time.  At runtime, I fill that DataSet via code and bind it to the report (ResumeReport is my Telerik.Reporting.Report that I'm designing):

ResumeReport report = new ResumeReport();
report.DataSource = dataSet;
report.DataMember = "Users";
reportViewer.Report = report;
reportViewer.DataBind();

I have stepped through the code in debug mode and have verified that the DataSet is populated with data.  I get no build errors, but when the report tries to display, I get:

"The expression contains object 'FirstName' that is not defined in the current context."

"FirstName" is a field in the "Users" table of the DataSet.  I used the DataExplorer to drag the "FirstName" field on to the report, so it is just a TextBox with the value of "=FirstName".  The FirstName text box is in the Details section of the report.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I've installed the Telerik reporting and visual studio (2005sp1) shows it as installed, however when I add a 'telerik report' to a my c# class library I am unable to bring up the report designer. The icon next to Report1.cs is the standard c# one, not the one in your 'getting started video'. When the file is selected, only the 'view code' button is visible on the solution explorer's toolbar. I did a repair on the installation but the problem remains. Any ideas?

Hi,

I am trying to export the content of an Html file into a text box of telerik report , I wrote a class to convert the html content , and when trying to retrieve the styling , I figured out that the selectors don't allow to apply to only a part of my text within my text box, for instance, some words are bold or underlined and the others are not ,but the style apply to the whole  Item.
Is there any workaround to this issue ,

Thanks in advance

It would be nice to have a feature on the group level apart from group and sort expression to have a filter expression so we can filter the groups we need kind of like a having clause.
