Exporting Reports Straight to PDF in ASP.Net

Here is some code I borrowed (from other reporting packages) to export a report to pdf. I have an empty aspx page that runs this code on load (after reading some url parameters).

MyReport report = new MyReport(); 
string mimeType = string.Empty; 
string extension = string.Empty; 
Encoding encoding = null; 
byte[] buffer = Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor.Render("PDF", report, null, out mimeType, out extension, out encoding); 
Response.Clear(); 
Response.Buffer = true; 
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; 
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer); 
Response.End(); 

You have to be sure to reference Telerik.Reporting.ImageRendering

I was having some issues with the layout of a simple nested sub report. The spacing is fine in Design View but way off in html view. So this is my fix for now.

Web Report Design

This may have been answered, if so point me into the right direction please.

With reporting, am I to understand that currently the designer only works in windows forms, or am I missing something. I cannot seem to find a way to design the form in an web form application.

Thanks.

Have you guys seen any issues with adding the SQLDATASOURCE to the Telerik Reporting 1.0 tab. In the report designer its grayed out when I check "show all" in the tab. I've gone through the steps of "Choose Items" and checked SQLDATASOURCE.

No export formats in web viewer

The only item in the web report viewer's list of export formats is the one that says "select export format". How do I get the others to appear?

Some issues with the latest version

I un-installed the Beta 2 and I have installed the latest version. Here are some issues I ran into:

1) When I 'Add Project Data Source', I select an ODBC database and I get "More restrictions were provided than the requested schema ('Tables') supports." Can't go any further, so I try some alternatives:

2) I then manually drag and drop an odbcConnection and configure a odbcDataAdapter similar to how I did with Beta2. Since I can't select the DataAdapter in the report's DataSource property, I generate a DataSet and select that. However, I get a 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' (I can view the data). So to get it to work, I go into the designer code and manually set the DataSource property to the DataAdapter I created.

3) For testing, I tried to create a Business Object. I selected an assembly and class from another project and I can't seem to specify a method in the class or the needed parameters for the method. Is this supported?

4) Beta 2 reports are not supported in this version. I guess I can live with that as it was a beta. To fix, I just comment out some of the designer code that causes the issues, and the reports seems to run ok. Is this safe, or should I try to manually convert Beta 2 reports to this version via a copy and paste strategy?

5) This not an issue and probably too late to fix, but... It would be nice if SQL 2005 wasn't required for the Quick Starts (as I don't have it installed on my dev machine). An Access db would of been good.

Thanks, Jim

Release 1.0 Datasource problems!

Hi,

There is a major regression in release 1.0 of yesterday. We no longer can set the datasource of a report to a sqlDataAdapter.
First of all the sqlDataAdapters on the report do not show up under datasource to pick from even after rebuilding.
Second, adding a project source from the designer has no effect on the reportviewer.
If you need to see a demo of this, please let me know and I can upload a 2 minute screencast to demonstrate

Thanks for any help with this
LT

Localizing a report

Is there an example anywhere of localizing a report for multiple languages? Are the reports able to support pulling thier strings from standard .net resources using the resourcemanager.getstring method?

Localization is the #1 downfall of most reportings systems, I haven't had time to play with this yet, but it looks very promissing...

Did the dll Versions Change?

I had Beta 2 installed on my development server, and I've now run the upgrade to yesterday's release. Did anything actually change between releases? The GAC still shows the dll's are version 1.0.0.0. Is there any way I can check to be sure I am in fact running the latest version?

Thanks!
