I don't see how to specify the report library in the ReportsControllerBase, is this the idea?

public class ReportsController : ReportsControllerBase {     /* original from wizard -      static Telerik.Reporting.Services.ReportServiceConfiguration configurationInstance =         new Telerik.Reporting.Services.ReportServiceConfiguration         {             HostAppId = "Application1",             ReportResolver = new ReportFileResolver(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Reports"))                 .AddFallbackResolver(new ReportTypeResolver()),             Storage = new Telerik.Reporting.Cache.File.FileStorage(),         };*/     static Telerik.Reporting.Services.ReportServiceConfiguration configurationInstance =         new Telerik.Reporting.Services.ReportServiceConfiguration         {             HostAppId = "Application1",             ReportResolver = new ReportTypeResolver(),             Storage = new Telerik.Reporting.Cache.File.FileStorage(),         };     public ReportsController()     {         this.ReportServiceConfiguration = configurationInstance;     } }

Sorry for all the questions, it would be great to have documentation on this basic stuff.

Following the instructions online and I'm receiving the error "Could not find schema information for the element 'Telerik.Reporting'" in Web.config.

 In which reference is the schema information?

I'm following the instructions here:

http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/quick-start-add-report-visual-studio

It says that you need to create a Report Library to use reports in a REST API. But VS 2016 it gives two options, ReportLibrary1 and RestService1. What is the difference between them and which should I choose?

Am I looking at outdated documentation, seems pretty basic stuff to include?

Hi All,

I've been attempting to setup WebAPI/MVC with a (very) basic Reporting example. I've been following the instructions here:

http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/telerik-reporting-rest-host-http-service-using-web-hosting

But the instructions appear to be out of date, does anyone know of any up-to-date documentation? (ie using .Net 4.5.2 and WebAPI 2)

(I've tried my paid Telerik support tickets, but they only reply with stock written answers which don't answer the question.)

Thanks in advance,

Jon

We are  using currently embeded Telerik Report Standalone Designer to make possible to change Reports used in our software.

Is it possible to say Report Designer to Save current report to File from outside?

Hi,

We have few reports where there is a crosstab which shows product details with segments and values for the segment. There is a column grouping on segmentname column. Data shown by the report will be as follows

___________________________________________________________________________________________

ID   Code      Description            Barcode     Active?  Sellable?   Redeemable?   Size   Color    Class   Department

__________________________________________________________________________________________
1    ABC123  Pink Teddy             ABC123    'Y'           'N'              'Y'                     'S'       'Pink'    B1       N1
2    XYZ456  Blue Teddy             XYZ456    'Y'           'N'              'Y'                     'S'       'Blue'    B1       N1
3    CBV256  Chota Bheem        CBV256    'Y'           'N'              'Y'                     'S'       'Brown' B2       N1
3    NIV256  Ninja Sword            NIV256     'Y'           'N'              'Y'                     'M'       'Brown' B2       N2

4    BBN267 Big Basket Ball       BBN267    'Y'          'Y'               'Y'                     'B'       'Orange' B3     N3

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Columns up to 'Reemable?' are static columns. All columns after 'Reedeemable?' are segments. Segments are defined in a different table and are dynamic. Column grouping on segmentname is used to get all segment details for a product in a single row. There are filters on crosstable to see if only active products should be shown or only redeemable or sellable products should be shown.

We have clients who have a big list of products. They would want to look for details with different combinations of segmentname and segment values. For example the filter could be  as follows

((segmentname = 'Color' and  value = 'Brown') or  (segmentname = 'Class' and  value = 'B3'))

Since the segments are dynamic and there could be different combinations, adding segments as a parameter to the report will not help. We did not find anyway to add the filters to a string variable and append the string variable to the crosstab's datasource commandtext. Is there anyway in telerik reports for the user to open a window from the report where he could create such combinations and the filter string thus formed in addition to filters in the report could be passed to the crosstab? Please suggest what could be done.

We are using Report designer and creating reports for windows forms applications. The same reports are being used by Asp.net webforms.

After the the report initialization when I call the reportViewer.RefreshReport() my screen resolution and size stays the same, but my application dimension (screen size) changes, causing my application to become smaller.

any idea what is causing this ?

Hi,

I am trying to set my report datasource at runtime but it always seems to be recreated each time the report is refreshed. Basically I need to pass some complex parameters into my object's constructor (meaning that using report parameters wont be sufficient as they aren't basic types). I'm using the WinForms viewer and Q1 2016 reporting.

            var report = new MyReport();
            var ds = new MyReportDataSource();
            var objDs = new ObjectDataSource(); // I want to be able to pass some complex parameters here to initialize the object - this is just a trivial example
            objDs.DataSource = ds;
            objDs.DataMember = "Text";
            report.DataSource = objDs;
            var reportSource = new InstanceReportSource();
            reportSource.ReportDocument = report;
            ctl_Report.ReportSource = reportSource;
            ctl_Report.RefreshReport(); // This causes the constructor of MyReportDataSource to be called again

I have also tried setting the report.DataSource property to null, which causes the NeedDataSource event to fire - but this doesn't help as even if I set the datasource in the event callback, the constructor of MyReportDataSource gets called AGAIN when calling RefreshReport().

Is there a way to "inject" data into the report without it explicitly calling the constructor of the ObjectDataSource's data member?

Thanks,

Phil
