Stand alone Report designer vs Visual studio report designer

OK, this one is to ask those using the Stand Alone Report Designer.

Looking for advice on which report designer to use, I understand it depends on my situation so here it is.
1. Just starting with reporting, have dabbled with both designers over the last week
2. Currently the site is a webforms public website using ASP.NET AJAX Controls.
3. I am the only developer, for a website that displays scientific data (right now mainly grids and graphs) that could benefit from Telerik reporting cross-tabs, graphs etc.
Before I decide which to choose I wanted to get your opinion on the pros and cons of the two designers. For this reason I am posting this on both reporting forums for obvious reasons.
1. Which report designer gives you the most flexibility in design and what do you consider the pros and cons are of each.
2. Posts on the forum are 2,417 posts for stand alone (SARD) and 43,368 for Visual Studio (VSRD) - does this reflect that most people have chosen VSRD, and/or are there more problems when designing with VSRD.
3. If fewer people are using SARD do you envisage Telerik will continue with it (I have been stranded before on blind paths), and if they don't can the report file (TRDX) be easily imported into VSRD?
Many thanks on any advice!

Page Break On Table Group

Hi,

I have a report with a table in the detail section. The table is grouped on a field called 'Organization'. I also have a parameter called 'Organization'. The table will give one full iteration for each organization that the user chooses in the organization parameter dropdown.

What I want is to page break after each iteration of the table. So if I choose org1, org2 and org3 from the 'Organization' dropdown, the report will generate 3 pages, each with a table iteration for each organization that the user has chosen.

I need this functionality for a client by next week and I cannot figure out how this is done. Can someone PLEASE help?

Thanks,

Phillip

Subreport doesn't fit the whole container of the master report

Hello,

Please, I would be VERY VERY glad if someone could help me.

I have a report that has a sub-report inside it and it's working just fine.

The sub-report can give one or multiple lines as output for a single row in the master report.
However, when a row's height in the master report is too high (due to the output of other cells, not the sub-report), then the sub-report's output doesn't fill the gap in the master report.

I've tried so many thing that I read in this forum, but none of them worked.
I've attached a real example of what's happening:

The master report uses a table, while the sub-report uses only text boxes.

Thank you very very much

Textbox with no word wrap

I have a textbox with a specific width, I want the text to display and then truncate at the length. I have set WordWrap, Multiline, and CanGrow to False, but when I programmatically export to PDF, it doesn't show partial words. Crystal Reports does this.

I have the latest 2012 version.
