I have an invoicing app that loads data from various sources and shows a balancing report that compares costs, etc...  Once the invoice is balanced and ready to be paid, it is set to approved status.  The problem is that sometimes invoice balancing reports need to be viewed later after processing, and some data may have changed in the interim.  So I would like to snapshot the invoice report when an invoice is set to approved status.

I have found solutions for rendering a report to pdf - those are easy enough to implement, but every request for how to view pdfs with the telerik ReportViewer control has been answered with "it's not supported, and we won't consider supporting it."  So I can export the report to pdf when then invoice is approved, but I have no way to display it to the user.  I could just open up the system pdf viewer, but that creates a weird disjointed experience - if the user selects 5 invoices to view reports and 3 of them are Approved and 2 are Pending, the pending ones will be displayed as part of the same ReportBook in the Winforms ReportViewer, but the other 3 would have to be opened in a separate window with Adobe Reader.  What I really want is to create an Invoice.GetReport() function that returns a ReportSource that encapsulates either a Report to be generated or a saved "frozen" report with the details that existed when the invoice was approved.

Is there any way at all to save a Rendered report (in any format - it doesn't have to be pdf) and then view it at a later time within the same user interface that I am using to display live reports?

Hello,

I have a TRDP report file with a WebServiceDataSource pointing to a web service with Telerik.Reporting dlls version 13.2.19.918.

When I try to view the report using the report viewer, I get an error: "Invalid format '= Parameters.token.Value'".

I stepped through the code and  the error comes from the web request that the WebServiceDataSource creates - it is initialized with the string

value " = Parameters.token.Value" instead of the computed expression.

 

When I switch back to the old version  13.1.19.618, everything works fine.

 

Is it a bug in the new version or is something that I missed?

     Hi All , hope you can help here.... trying to setup a sub report only to run based on a user selection. Can this be done with an expression in the sub report property box (reportsource= or or binding)? If binding I'm not sure how to bind the parameter as the drop down only gives me ReportSource. I saw a post that suggests I can do this not explain how.

I'm creating an invoice report that sometimes requires a group to continue for multiple pages.

Is there a way within Report Designer to create a group-based page counter?

For example:

A report is 30 pages long but is split and page broken by a group.

The page counter for each grouping should display the current page, along with the number of pages for that specific group. Something like "Page 2 of 4"

Thanks! -Eric

I'm using the standalone report designer with an ASP.NET MVC C# website.  My issue is that when I add a single select or multi select parameter, it always shows up in a list box instead of a dropdown.  Does anyone know if there's an option to display the parameter as a dropdown instead?  I've seen demos with normal dropdowns but I just can't find the option to change it.  I've attached a picture of the list box I'm referring to.

Hello. I'm creating a report that contains qr codes in columns. The qr codes are displaying well, but if one of them is null, also is displayed. I'm trying to use conditional formatting, but if I uncheck "visible" in layout style, nothing is displayed in the column (background, borders...). I use another conditional formatting for alternating rows.

Thank you.

Hi,

 I have created a TRDX report files using Telerik stand alone report designer. I created an asp.net web application and calling the TRDX report in the browser using telerik report viewer control. Below is the code used in the page load to call trdx report.

  var reportSource = new UriReportSource() { Uri = "EVB_002.trdx" };
this.ReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportSource;

 We need to implement support for different languages in these reports, example when user wants to see report headers in French, there must be an option for user to select the language. I have gone through following 2 links given in telerik documentation and created a resource file(.resx). 

http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/report-viewer-localization.html
http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/advanced-localizing-reports.html

Please let me know the next steps to associate the resource files with telerik report viewer so that reports can be viewed in other languages.

Thanks,

Daniel

I have a nested table in a textbox of a table and I am having trouble getting the summary of all the records in the nested table.

I can get the summary of each group in the nested table.  However, I cannot get the summary for all the records together.

I have posted the data structure with sample data below.  

The data source of the parent table is "= ReportItem.DataObject.TicketReportsDC"
I have added a row "Outside Group - Below" and I have tried "=Sum(Fields.TicketDataContract.TicketJob.TicketDetails.OrderAmount)".  This gives me an error :'OrderAmount' is not defined in the current context. 

The data source of the nested table is "= ReportItem.DataObject.TicketDataContract.TicketJob.TicketDetails"
I have added a row "Outside Group - Below" and put "=Sum(Fields.OrderAmount)" in the appropriate textbox. This gives me the Summary for the individual ticket. ($1650.00,  $1200.00, and $625.00 for the below sample data)

I have tried other possibilities and am not haveing any luck getting this.  I believe it is due to the fact that the "TicketDetails" is a list within a list (TicketReportsDC) in the Data Structure.  

Can anyone give me any ideas for referencing the "OrderAmount" at the top level?  With the sample data below I would expect  a total of $3475.00.

 

Thanks

James
