I would like to know how do I specify legend item text at runtime. When I bind a data object to a chart, it automatically binds the wrong data to the legend. I would like to have control over this.

data source

Hi,

I am begginner with Telerik Reporting,(and with .Net too) and I try to bind my report, not to a database , but to a class that I have created (the structure of the database is not specified , and the only method to access it is a specific API) , so I added my class(dll), to the references and to the data sources , but my class doen't appear in the telerik data explorer...??? is it because it's not possible to bind a telerik report to other thing except a database ,if no how can I do it .
Thanks in advance

Dialog: Specified cast is not valid on entering report designer

I've just begun using Reporting as of today. So far two issues have croppped up.
1. duplicate namespace errors with Reporting project that also is using Telerik Charts, which I saw in a forum post will be fixed in the next version of reporting.

&

2. After creating a new report, I go to the designer screen and get a "Microsoft Visual Studio" X Specified cast is not valid. prompt. Everything compiles ok, this is before I do anything to the form.

My environment is VS2005 SP1 running under W2003 SP1. I've cleaned the project and restarted VS but I still get the prompt. Any clues on this one?

Thanks,
J.

Report files in separate project or App_code?

Hello!
I am trying to write reports to be used in a DNN site. I have gotten the reports to work when they are contained in a separate project that creates it own DLL. However, I would also like to create them in the APP_CODE directory of my web project. This does not seem to work. WHen I right-click in the reports code file, there is no "View Designer" menu option. There is though when I am building reports in their own project. Should this be the case???

Thanks for all your help.

SubReports or multiple groups

Hi,

I have a report with two subreports displaying some details. For the content of the subreports I need some headers and currently I have used textboxes placed in the main report above the subreports. Is there some way to keep the headers and subreport together on the same page?

I think what I'm looking for is two groups next to eachother but I don't think that is possible. I only see the possibility to nest groups inside eachother.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to do here and can provide me with a solution.

Thanks,

DataBinding Methodology

Hello

I am experimenting with different databinding methods and wanted to get something confirmed...

This technique...

 
public partial class Report1 : Report 
    { 
        SqlCommand sqlSelectCommand1 = new SqlCommand(); 
        SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection(); 
        SqlDataAdapter sqlDataAdapter1 = new SqlDataAdapter(); 
 
        public Report1() 
        { 
            /// <summary> 
            /// Required for telerik Reporting designer support 
            /// </summary> 
            InitializeComponent(); 
 
            sqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "server=(local);database=TroubleTicket;Trusted_Connection=true"; 
            sqlSelectCommand1.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM app_projects"; 
            sqlSelectCommand1.Connection = sqlConnection1; 
            sqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand = sqlSelectCommand1; 
            this.DataSource = sqlDataAdapter1; 
 
        } 
    } 

of putting the databinding logic after the call to "InitializeComponent", works during report development but does NOT allow for drag and drop from the data explorer, correct?

Then the technique of setting the datasource of the report by setting the report properties at runtime, does not allow for the previewing of data during report development. Correct?

Pros and cons of each?

Thanks for your help!
