Hi,

I'm working with Telerik Reporting Q1 2016 SP1 version 10.0.16.204. I have made reports with sub reports in the past (using the same version of telerik reporting). I am trying to create a report with a sub report now and it does not show any sub reports in the object instance list. 

Am I missing something here?

The previous created reports still have their respective sub-reports but trying to add a newly made report as a sub report is not possible. The only sub reports in the list are the ones already made in the past.

I see the following (see attached screenshot).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated since we require reports using sub reports.

It's been awhile since I've been on the Telerik reporting forum , but have an urgent need by a client that I'll be working through the weekend on.  They would like to print out the results of a survey, and depending on the selection, the responses contain a significant portion of text - which contains underlying, bolding, etc. 

How can I store this content to print out on the report with the formatting in place?  I've read some answers from 2012, and I'm hoping that things have changed for the better in 2016.

 

Regards,

Richard

For reasons of hiding customer details from other customers, I've elected to create some custom reports for my application using the standalone report designer.  The idea is that I can create any number of customized reports and drop them into place on each customer's machine as appropriate.

I initially used .TRDP format, and it works fine; however, when branching a codeline with SVN, I realized I couldn't merge binary files very well, so I decided to go with .TRDX format for the ability to diff & merge report definitions. 

In turn I created a bit of stand-alone code to run in my build environment that would convert all the TRDX files to TRDP for distribution.

This uses the same method shown on the Telerik Reporting documentation; that is:

            using (var targetStream = File.Create(destfn)) {
                var xmlString = File.ReadAllText(sourceName);
                 reportPackager.Package(xmlString, targetStream);
            }

However, when I do this, and try to load the resulting TRDP in either stand-alone Report Designer or load into my ASP.NET code, I get errors saying "Resource Not Found".

My reports typically have a customer-specific PictureBox, so there's an embedded resource block, which I believe is the issue.

I tried converting my original TRDP and "packaged" TRDP file names to .zip so I could inspect them.   The original TRDP has two XML files and a folder Images with a JPG file - "pictureBox1.Value.JPG".   The packaged TRDP just has two XML files, and there's a very long BASE64-like block, no separate image files.

How can I achieve this goal in an automated fashion?

Which is the correct DataSource to use for an Azure Database, SQL Data Source?

Documentation here doesn't seem to mentioned Azure Databases at all:

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 have a Silverlight web based application and we use the Telerik reporting tool.

My problem is that the formatting of the report as displayed in the report viewer when running the app differs from what I see at design time and also from what I see when I preview in design mode or print the report from the app.

In the attached example, the formatting of the numbers are right aligned (see payslip printed version), but on the report viewer, they show left aligned.

I have also encountered other problems such as the headers of the report just being cut off when I use a bigger font - in summary, it seems that the report viewer disregards a lot of the design formatting.

Can anybody please help me with this issue.

Kind regards

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?
