Hi,

Is there a way to test the user functions mechanism with a trial version of the Report Designer (Telerik ReportDesigner R2 2019 TRIAL)? It is downloaded only as an exe file with no configuration file. 

 

Best Regards

Using Telerik ReportViewer Q3 2015 SP2 v9.2.15.1126 in a MVC HTML5 website application.  I am experiencing an intermittent error with the reportviewer.

"Error registering the viewer with the service.  An error has occurred.  String was not recognised as a valid DateTime."

This occurs when instantiating a report for the first time (starting the website up and running a report).  However, rerunning the report immediately again I then get the expected result and it works fine without error, but the error is guaranteed to occur on every first time use.... 

Fiddler returns the following information:

{"message":"An error has occurred.","exceptionMessage":"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.","exceptionType":"System.FormatException","stackTrace":"   at System.DateTimeParse.ParseExact(String s, String format, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles style)\r\n   at System.DateTime.ParseExact(String s, String format, IFormatProvider provider)\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.PersistableObject.GetDateTime(String key)\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.Client.get_ExpiresOn()\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.ReportEngine.<>c__DisplayClass16.<CollectExpiredData>b__10(Client c)\r\n   at System.Linq.Enumerable.WhereSelectEnumerableIterator`2.MoveNext()\r\n   at System.Linq.Buffer`1..ctor(IEnumerable`1 source)\r\n   at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToArray[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.ReportEngine.CollectExpiredData()\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.ReportEngine.RegisterClient()\r\n   at Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi.ReportsControllerBase.RegisterClient()\r\n   at lambda_method(Closure , Object , Object[] )\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.ActionExecutor.<>c__DisplayClass10.<GetExecutor>b__9(Object instance, Object[] methodParameters)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.ActionExecutor.Execute(Object instance, Object[] arguments)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.ExecuteAsync(HttpControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary`2 arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter`1.GetResult()\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ApiControllerActionInvoker.<InvokeActionAsyncCore>d__0.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter`1.GetResult()\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ActionFilterResult.<ExecuteAsync>d__2.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter`1.GetResult()\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ExceptionFilterResult.<ExecuteAsync>d__0.MoveNext()"}

 

Anyone experienced this before?  Any advice how to stop this from happening?  We have tried the obvious things like clearing browser history etc...

Hi,

We use Telerik Report Q32015.1216 ,produce serial letters with attachments and bundle it in 1000 letter Packages. The same attachment with 5 pages is always added to a single one-page seriel letter. It takes lot of time to add the same attachment to the individual letter and creates a redundant huge PDF file.
Instead of having multiple times the 5 page attachment in the bundle of serial letters I want to have it only once and reference it from the respective place.
So instead of the B1,A,B2,A,B3,A.. structure I would like to have a B1,RA,B2,RA,B3RA...A structure in the PDF file ( Where Bx=Individual page, A={A1A2A3A4A5} where  Ax - Attachment pages, RA=Reference to the attachment pages object).

Is there anyTelerik way/solution to create this kind of resource optimized PDF?

Many thans, László

Hello,

I am using Telerik Reporting Q1 2010 for WinForms and I'm trying to set up conditional formatting using the style builder dialog. I need to have the top border on a textbox display if a certain conditions exists. I do NOT need to have the whole textbox default border displayed. 

I go into the style builder dialog and select 'Top' in the "select border" and click "ok". When I go back in to style builder the select border has changed back to default. I tried just display the report but the whole cell has edges and I only need to have the top border.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have been trying to set the Content-Type on the Authentication Parameters section of the Web Service Data Source Wizard.  I have attached two images to illustrate how I am trying to set Content-Type.

 

I am using Fiddler to inspect the request when I click "Download" at the end of the Web Service Data Source Wizard.

 

Can you show me an example of how to set Content-Type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"?

 

Thanks

Noah

I have a crosstab report with expand/collapse functionality (toggling in Telerik). When I export the data the toggling (grouping in excel) is not exported with the data. Is there a way to do this ? I want to export the report with all the functionalities.

Find the attached image file for more information.

Thanks,
Parth

What would cause the rows to repeat for each row in the datasource even though I only have 1 row group and the group properties are set to use the values from the database?

Hi,

I am using the Query Designer in the SQL DataSource component in my report. In the Database view section I can see the view I need and its columns but when I select one of them I get the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 

 

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Telerik.Reporting.Design.QueryDesigner.Form.DataModelManager.CreateEntity(String path)
   at Telerik.Reporting.Design.QueryDesigner.Form.DataModelManager.FindOrCreateEntity(String path, Boolean refreshRelations)
   at Telerik.Reporting.Design.QueryDesigner.Form.DataModelManager.AddProperty(Property sourceProperty)
   at Telerik.Reporting.Design.QueryDesigner.Form.DataModelTreeViewController.TreeViewAfterCheck(Object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.OnAfterCheck(TreeViewEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.WndProc(Message& m)
   at Telerik.Reporting.Design.Common.Controls.TreeViewEx.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

 

The same error is attached as a screenshot. When I click Continue, the column is not added to the Selected fields section. 

I am using other views for other SQL Data Source components and I have no problem with them. 

The only difference I can see with this view is that its query contains pivot statements. 

How can I resolve this issue?

 

Best Regards

Is there a place on here for a novice willing to learn, 

I use Telerik Report Designer to provide templates to a reporting system i use for work, pulling the source from the report system (i'm sure this is simple stuff to most on here).

I'm getting familiar with the system however i often come across issues that I'm sure are fairly quick fixes however it takes me a fair while to get right so though i would sign up to this forum and see if i can get swift responses.

My first question to post is what expression would i need to use to give a cell in the report 2 values from the source?

for instance i want both this value:

= Fields.Specification

and this value

= Fields.Type_in_the_Standard

to to appear in the same cell

 

any help is much appreciated.
