[Solved] Parameter in web serviced data source

Hi,

Currently, we have 4 options (Header, Query, Inline, Cookies) for setting parameters in Http request of web serviced data source. Using these options we are able to set report parameter as the parameters for the Http request of web serviced data source. Instead of that how can we pass parameter inside the body of Http request? Current we are able to send parameter inside the body statically. Is have any other way to bind the value of the parameter inside the body from report parameter.

BarSeries overlapping

I'm trying to achieve the result in the attached file.

I have gone through the documentation and I cannot see anything which can help me. The only things I could find were for RadChart.

I'm using Q1 2016 SP1 (with no option to currently update)

Is this possible in the Telerik Reporting framework?

adjusting Textbox.Visibility cause float left for remaining items

Within the Report.ItemDataBinding event I'm adjusting the Textbox positions within the PageHeader inorder to collapse the height.

ItemDataBindingEvent
- Loop Items
- If (Empty) Visibility = False
- Loop each items that crosses vertical plane below this item
- BelowItem.Top = BelowItem.Top.Subtract(hiddenItemHeightUnit);

lowest = pageSection.Items.OrderByDescending(x => x.Bottom.Value).FirstOrDefault();

if (lowest.Bottom.Value + threashold > pageHeader.Height.Value)
pageHeader.Height = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(lowest.Bottom.Value + paddingBottom);

This works great except if I have a textbox that is flush to the right border (textAlign.Right). Within the ReportHeaderSection ItemDataBound event I can verify that the LEFT position is correctly set within the Processing Textbox and the ItemDefinition Textbox, but when rendered its the same as float left.

If I have a textbox in the center and not even the same horzontal row then this does not happend

This is my page header
-----------------------------------------------
[ Sup Title ]
[ Title ]
[ Value1 ] [Sub Title] ]
[ Value2 ] ]
[ Value3 ] [ Value4]
-----------------------------------------------

If I set any of the textbox visiblity to false, then all of the textboxes render as float left (SubTitle and Value4)
If I set their height to Zero then re-positioning is possible.

/// <summary>

/// Can only shrink content within the Report.ItemDataBinding Event

/// </summary>

/// <param name="pageHeader"></param>

/// <param name="debug"></param>

public static void ShrinkToContent(this Telerik.Reporting.PageHeaderSection pageHeader, double paddingBottom=0.02D, bool debug=false)

{

var items = pageHeader.Items.OfType<Telerik.Reporting.TextBox>().Where(x => x.Visible).OrderBy(x => x.Top.Value).ToList();

double threashold = 0.02;

foreach (Telerik.Reporting.TextBox tx in items)

{

tx.CanGrow = false;

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tx.Value))

{

// shuffle items beneth this textbox

foreach (Telerik.Reporting.TextBox item in items.Where(x => x.Visible && x.Top.Value > tx.Top.Value && tx.Left.Value < x.Right.Value && x.Left.Value < tx.Right.Value))

{

// item.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(item.Left, item.Top.Subtract(tx.Height));

item.Top = item.Top.Subtract(tx.Height);

if (debug)

{

// blue means shiffted

item.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

}

tx.Height = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Zero;

tx.CanShrink = true;

// tx.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

}

var stacked = items.OrderByDescending(x => (x.Height.Value <= threashold) ? 0 : x.Bottom.Value).ToList();

var lowest = stacked.FirstOrDefault();

// TODO

// If we have a bottom alignment ensure that its bumped up and still on the bottom

// Colapse between lowest and next above in vertical stack

double oldHeight = pageHeader.Height.Value;

double newHeight = lowest.Bottom.Value;

if (newHeight < (oldHeight + threashold))

{

if (debug)

{

pageHeader.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

}

pageHeader.Height = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(newHeight + paddingBottom);

}

Child doesn't implement ITableCell

I am working on Telerik Reports which are migrated from Silverlight.
I am now using HTML 5 Report Viewer.
There is one report that gives this error : "Internal Server Error. Child doesn't implement ITableCell."
The report is compiled and generated correctly in the HTML Preview Pane in the Visual Studio.

Also, what actually happens is that the sometimes (as I have noticed) the report data does come and populates and then vanishes in a blink giving this Error.
I have attached a screen shot of the error view.

I am expecting some quick response.
Thanks.

Best report localization approach when using the Report Designer

Hi,

In our client-server based application we use the stand-alone Telerik Report Designer tool to create the reports. We store the report definitions as XML (*.trxd) and distribute them to the client apps. This offers great flexibility in creating new on-the-fly reports which have no binary dependency with our application. Also it bypasses the need to compile reports so non-developers are able to create new or change existing reports.

We now need to provide globalization support. The help documentation states an approach to add globalization support to the reports but this seems to work only for code-based reports, not for XML. The Report Designer tool does not offer a "Localizable" property that can be used when creating code-based report definitions.

The best I can think of is to add specific tags in the report definition (e.g. %USERNAME%) and have custom language files. Since I will distribute the reports from the server we can preprocess the reports e.g. to replace text tags. Resx files are a bit restrictive in my scenario because this would create a binary dependency.

Would this be a good approach in my scenario? Or what alternatives would I have?

Regards,
Daniël

Creating a Custom Parameter Editor

Under the topic 'How To: Create a Custom Parameter Editor' my understanding is that you can change the default editor into a dropdown. When I try the example given the report parameters section is not displayed on the report. What can be the reason for this?
