I currently develop using the designer and use the telerik_ReportViewer to render these on a website for end users. I currently have a set of around 50 reports. Is there a way to create something that will enable my users to "favorite" reports and have that be saved somewhere to create a "my favorites" list with links to their favorite reports?

We just upgraded from Sept 2016 to Oct 2016.  The user said he did not have this issue with the previous version.  The only thing I changed in the app was that it updated it when I upgraded the controls.  I compiled and this is what we are seeing:  (makes it hard for users to sort)

Morning.

I am wondering if this is possible using the standalone designer.

I have a report already built that I need to insert a subreport into. However, the sub report needs to use a CSV file as its datasource (main report is using SQL Native). The path to this CSV is stored as a STRING in my main report query. So the MainReport has a SQL statement similar to:

Select Field1, Field2, ....'Path to CSV File' as dsCSV  From SomeTable

I know need to tell the subreport that the field dsCSV is the path to the file it should use.

Any ideas as to if this is possible (good program so I assume everything is possible) and how it would be done (looking for an example).

Note that I only have the standalone designer.

Thanks,

Brian

I have big report that take around 2 min until finish generating the report, while the report is processing, I am unable to load another page.

 

I read it could be session blocking issue, so I tried to use async Task in the .NET to get the Data from the server, but still I am unable to  load another page in  the same time.

 

I am trying to load another page while report viewer is generating the report

Please Help !

Hi
1-When we allow null value in a parameter so that if end user has not selected any value report can get all data, it adds a check box in Parameter section with text "Null". i want to change this word "Null" with some of my own text like "all sectors" because the end user the word null is not clear, i is technical word and only developers know it? how can i change it?

When i preview a report in the Designer I get an error in a PictureBox that has some conditional formatting depending on the values from the Datasource (see attach).

It's weird because if i render this report to pdf, I get no errors (I just supply parameters to the report, I dont set any datasources).

How can I fix this in the designer?

Hi.

I need to change connection string in my reports dynamicly, sinse different users might have different databases.

I saw this article http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/details/changing-the-connection-string-dynamically-according-to-runtime-data and everything worked great, but now we have a report with sub report section. In SubReport section we have a path that depends on a value selected in the main report:

ReportSource: ="./Content/reportDefinitions/"+Replace(Parameters.ReportType.Value, " ", "_")+".trdp"

Problem is that solution suggested in the article above fails. It tries to desirialize path wich is "./Content/reportDefinitions/"+Replace(Parameters.ReportType.Value, " ", "_")+".trdp" and of cause can't find it.

 

I also tried to hardcode subreport name and than use Unpackage method.

var report = reportPackager.Unpackage(sourceStream);

But if I do so, I get another error. Both reports Main one and sub report depend on the same parameter ReportId, and some how subreport claims that this parameter was not passed, main section works fine.

I have made a bar graph that drills down to graphs with many labels.

A picture of the graph is attached.

 

As you can see, the main categories don't fit when drilled down. Also, the subcategories' labels are too long and there doesn't seem to be a way to make them multiline.

This is really a make or break for us as this graph represents pretty much the whole reason we put together this tool in the first place.

Is there anything we can do to format the graph properly? 

 

As a workaround, is there a way to detect which bar on a graph is clicked and load another report based on the "value" associated with that particular bar?

 

Thanks.

I need to build a report (in Visual Studio) that takes an ObjectDataSource, and groups the data into separate pages.  Each page needs to contain 2 charts and a table that deal with that particular group of data.

How can I approach this?  There is some documentation on page breaks on groups in a table, but my pages need to contain charts as well.  Is there a demo that shows how to build what I need?

Eventually I will also need to add this report into a ReportBook, but first things first.

a simple parent/child report (parent in header, child in detail) was changed to add a grandchild) subreport to the detail, just after the child row. in "preview" the report renders correctly. but when creating a PDF the subreport, by itself, appears on a second page.

in the PDF both pages contain the same header/footer. the first page contains the detail without subreport & the second page contains the sureport without detail.

again what's so confusing is it look fine in "preview' (using the same data).

tried setting "canshrink" to false on both report & subreport. no difference.

the report was upsided to Reporting DLL 10.2.16.1025.

any ideas?
